Heef 166 Posted April 10, 2018 On 4/1/2018 at 03:27, Death Impends said: Have submitted a team. However as I don't expect the last second miracle goal, I give my congratulations to Heef, we're even now. I wish you luck in taking on the Grim Reaper himself. Will admit the itch to to do extensive deadpool research has been on the backburners as of late, so it's a bit of a blessing in disguise to be knocked out. (rest assured the itch will be back sometime before 2019, though!) I've been away for the last 10 days or so, so am only just getting round to reading through this. It was a ding-dong battle, but in the end the lads in the end dun good and were able to knock one past the oppo's goalie just as things were looking in the end a bit squeaky bum time. Anyway, in summary, it was a surprising win for the unheralded team out of Kiwiland who usually perform so adeptly in manners, but so poorly in actual results (oh, the 0 - 0 'thrillers' you get to sit through watching the All Whites). It was good to see no fights on the terraces between the opposing sets of fans, but the unlucky DI team gaffer must be wondering how he didn't put the game to bed before the half-time oranges. As for the initial salvos of the next round, well, it's all a bit cagey so far i'n't it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,536 Posted April 10, 2018 Bit busy so in quick, Fergie adds 3 points to DDT, Dead Cow and Heef: 1. The Dead Cow vs Sean 6-0 2. Heef vs DDT 6-6 3. Deadsox (reigning champ) vs YWillz 0-0 4. Sir Creep vs Joey Russ 0-3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,071 Posted April 10, 2018 Guess I'll put this here, as it only concerns Dead Cow and myself (and our opponents), and is of little DL thread interest otherwise.Update on ND Tiwari: Son got engaged, afterward went to hospital to get his dad's 'blessing'. If so, he must be in recovery enough to 'give a blessing' to his son's engagement, which indicates the 92-year old sonovabitch won't be leaving this mortal coil in April. :-( SC (Edit: This may be old news? Tiwari was on life support in 2017 and this article references that rather than the present affliction. But it's dated April 8 2018 and came up in Google news feed limited search to one week. Who fucking knows?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Thacker turns out to be the only death on your side and no one else dies (or Fu Da-Ren and/or Azreen Manan are the only remaining deaths between us), I think you’d win since, while I don’t know his exact age, I’m pretty sure he’s younger than Ray Wilkins...

msc 18,536 Posted April 11, 2018 I thought Thacker was one of those old guy blues musicians tbh! Must be all those replies in the Ralph Stanley thread. Anyhow, the obit in the Bluegrass press means two things. Firstly, YWillz's vaunted defense has been breached, after 2 months and 11 days - the best shutout run in Cup history to date. Deadsox leads again, is he on course for 2 from 2? Secondly, Sir Creep scores, and with the age difference, has taken the lead against Joey. See? I told you that one was going to have twists and turns. 1. The Dead Cow vs Sean 6-0 2. Heef vs DDT 6-6 3. Deadsox (reigning champ) vs YWillz 3-0 4.

Always seems to be one pooler who gets an unexpected shellacking in the Cup. Of course, the month isn't at HT yet. Perhaps he's less Man City and more Roma? 1. The Dead Cow vs Sean 9-0 2.

msc 18,536 Posted April 18, 2018 Bishop Foley dead. This website - it's like Digital Spy, but for God, apparently - counts, although given the dude was a Bishop, you can expect somewhat larger obits from the usual places before the day is out. Anyhow, the death of a Bishop does big things in the world of the Deathlist Cup, as it puts DDT and Sir Creep into the lead in their respective ties. 1. The Dead Cow vs Sean 9-0 2. Heef vs DDT 6-9 3.

Sir Creep 7,071 Posted April 18, 2018 With that early second half tally we have gained a bit of momentum from the goal Joey scored in the opening minutes of the match that sucked the wind out of our stadium at the time. Nearly two full weeks to go, we may have to put in a fresh set of legs or two on defense. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,071 Posted April 18, 2018 He's on my team and all, but am I the only one who thinks there is at best a 33% chance Fu Da-Ren gets an English language obit? And I may be pushing it... Even our rather limited hoop to jump through may be a challenge for Da-Ren. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,263 Posted April 18, 2018 Nice one Creep. I think there’s a good chance that you got it this round. Although I still think I have a few good differentials with Le Duc Anh, Peter Lorimer, and Brackers, I get the feeling no more than one is going this month, and I think there’s a chance of all of them surviving this round...

Joey Russ 7,263 Posted April 20, 2018 You know what annoys me at the moment? Well, I finally have the opportunity to do some deep research today, and I find what looks like two really strong names mentioned in the same article for next months cup. Only that, when I did further research on them, they both died on the exact same day as well. Oh well, not like I’m likely to make it anyways... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
