Poor Squonk. Cup baptism of fire.

 

 

 

 

 

Please....look at my medic-alert bracelet......(Homie the Clown , classic episode, great choice!).

 

Well, it was fun whilst it lasted, but safe to say I'm not bothering to prep a March team, even though we're not half way through the month yet.

[YoungWillz 21,178]

Well, Gary, the teams are taking the field for the second half.

 

Still time for some of those lost causes to re-balance the scores, David.

 

Jesus, Jeff, the oldlady just scored before the farmer of worms' team took the field! Referee has allowed it!

 

*settles back to watch the carnage*

[Joey Russ 7,263]

Paul Flynn’s death means that Quim breaks his tie while the Old Crem starts to make an attempt at a comeback...

[msc 18,534]

Paul Flynn has sadly died aged 84. One of the last old school Labour politicians, he was a fierce supporter of drug legalisation and Welsh home affairs, and had cross party respect for being an independent mind, as well as a memorable brief spotlight as 3 or 4 Shadow Cabinet Secretaries in 2016! Ah well, these folk go, and yet Peter Tobin still lives! Now, Flynn gives The Old Crem the merest hint of hope, while TQR takes a second half lead in his tie.

 

 

 

With 10 days left, 3 ties as it stands are heading for "penalties": Master Tech/Biblio, Joe/Pedro, and, perhaps surprisingly, Banker/Skinny.

 

1.       JoeMoneyPenny Vs. Pedro 3-3

2.       Nantonian 2013 Vs. Maryportfuncity 0-3

3.       Gooseberry Crumble Vs. John Key 0-3

4.       Spade Cooley Vs. Squonk 16-0

5. Markb4 vs Dr T 0-6

6.       Banana Vs. Great Uncle Bulgaria 12-0

7.       Yorkshire Banker Vs. Skinny Kiltrunner 9-9

8.       Alt Obits Guy Vs. Time 13-0

 

9.       Clorox Vs. Fixed Business 16-3

10.   The Mad Hatter Vs. Exu 9-0

11.   Master Tech Vs. Bibliogryphon 0-0

12.   The Unknown Man Vs. Boudicca 0-3

13.   Torva Messor Vs. The Old Crem 10-3

14.   The Quim Reaper Vs. BuffaloPhil  6-3

15.   Wormfarmer Vs. The Old Lady 6-4

[TQR 14,451]

Very surprised to shatter the deadlock between myself and Phil with the fortunate, unfortunate demise of the honourable member for Newport West. This is the first time I've led something on here!

[The Old Crem 3,628]

I am glad to not finish with a 0.

[msc 18,534]

As is usual with X days left before the next round, my March team is with Willz, and thus teams for Round 2 can now be sent in.

 

Feel free to feel a glimmer of sympathy when Joe Jordan does a Butch Wilkins on the 28th now...

 

As I am facing Reptile, soon I, too, shall be, err, Squonked.

....and so with one simple post, on one persons misfortune, msc created a verb evermore to be used in DL Cup vocabulary.

I wish I was good enough to be a Squonkee.

Dead cow gave me a right squonking last year.

etc

[Torva Messor 281]

Here we com-

Pile our next months teams

To be slaughtered by March End

Ending all our dreams

 

Hey Hey We're the Squonkees

It will all end in tears

Would I could squonk the previous 4 posts.

[Spade_Cooley 9,624]

Squonk squonk squonk

[the_engineer 1,415]

Deathlist is developing is own language cunto and now squonk. 

[msc 18,534]

What have I started?

 

 

A reminder of the Round 2 draw

 

Round 2

1.       Rad Vs.  Yorkshire Banker OR Skinny Kiltrunner

2.       Chorizo Vs. Grim Up North

3.       Clorox OR Fixed Business Vs. Alt Obits Guy OR Time

4.       Nantonian2013 OR  Maryportfuncity Vs. The Quim Reaper OR BuffaloPhil

5.       DDT Vs. Death Impends

6.       The Dead Cow Vs. Deadsox

7.       Charon Vs. Engineer

8.       Deathray Vs. The Mad Hatter OR Exu

9.       Gcreptile Vs. msc

10.   Joey Russ Vs.  Banana OR Great Uncle Bulgaria

11.   Sir Creep Vs. Spade Cooley OR Squonk

12.   Torva Messor OR The Old Crem Vs Markb4 or Dr T

13.   Master Tech OR Bibliogryphon Vs. Book

14.   Gooseberry Crumble OR John Key Vs. Heef

15.   Young Willz Vs.  JoeMoneypenny OR Pedro

16.   Wormfarmer OR The Old Lady Vs. The Unknown Man OR Boudicca.

 

Well, we know DDT/DI is going down, and Cow/Deadsox, and probably Sir Creep/Spade. John Key holds onto a slim lead which would set up an NZ derby.

[YoungWillz 21,178]

Team sent to @msc, hoping to replicate the mighty Jags' Cup run.....

I'm guessing this will be my opponents walk on music.

Given my luck of the draw, something like this'd be mine soon:

 

 

[Bibliogryphon 9,639]

I have yet to score in any round of the cup I have played in.

 

However as it is still an impasse with myself and @Master Tech I thought I would submit my round two team on the off chance.

[YoungWillz 21,178]

We are doing walk-on music? Here's mine then:

 

 

[the_engineer 1,415]

Walk on music for darts fans and entrance themes for wrestling/ ufc fans. 

 

Being a huge resident evil fanboy i'll just steal their music for mine:
