Right, so Round 2 has finally kicked into gear. (Drol mode) Why can’t any of those “day to live at Christmas” wankers help me  out? [/drol mode] :D

So, yeah, Reptile goes 10 points clear. This is my lulling him into a false sense of security, honest, all going to plan. Nah, he’s a fine deadpooler and deserves his success, damn him.

Torva goes 12 points up on 2018 DDP winner Dr T and on this form, I pity da foolz who wins between Chorizo and Grim!

Clorox has fallen foul of the Curse of the Commentator (or Allen celebrates it) as AO Guy takes a 6 point lead in a tie I thought was swinging the other way early in the month.

Engineer asks if its still level? No, charon is now 3-0 up. Have to presume Parrikar played for Rangers during the Paul le Guen error.

Joey’s conceded, and it ain’t looking good, as Banana goes 10 points up. Was this tie a bit of a... banana skin for 'im?

Finally, in the Admin Derby, 2018 Cup winner DDT has taken the lead against Death Impends.

Only two draws left now – The Old Lady/Boudicca and Willz/Pedro. Both Willz and Pedro have played out 0-0s before, Pedro being a coin toss away from significantly changing the 2017 Cup (he lost to deadsox).

Meanwhile, Cup players may note the declining health of top pick Billy Clayton. He may yet be crucial for Quim and DI…

This is going to be my best cup result ever, I think.

Damn. I thought Parrikar would last a bit longer. Still, good to take the lead in the New Zealand derby - though all to play for as we reach the business end of the fixture.

Edmund Capon is dead, but report is  behind a paywall in The Australian.

And lo, but mere hours later, my joker dies. Is the comeback on? Probably not as Reptile had Edmund Capon too (damn him!) but maybe Messrs Johnson and Lewis should start worrying.

 Edmund's Cap Off had lots of points on the board:

Dr T had Capon, but again comebacks are thwarted by Torva having him too. As do Chorizo and Grim, and the four names here are battling for one Quarterfinal spot. Also sharing are both sides of the Admin Derby.

Elsewhere: Clorox narrows the gap, Rad takes a break up, and Pedro takes a lead against Willz. You tell everyone about a possible Thistle Derby and you’re going to get a “what do we call a Reptile v Pedro match” derby instead!

Meanwhile Joey and Sir Creep both score. Is there room for a big comeback yet?

One last thing - Boudicca? Old Lady? Round 2 started over a fortnight ago...

 

Round 2

1.       Rad Vs.  Yorkshire Banker 6-0

2.       Chorizo Vs. Grim Up North 9-6

3.       Clorox Vs. Alt Obits Guy 3-6

7.       Charon Vs. Engineer 3-0

8.       Deathray Vs. The Mad Hatter 3-6

9.       Gcreptile Vs. msc 16-9

10.   Joey Russ Vs.  Banana 12-19

11.   Sir Creep Vs. Spade Cooley 7-11

12.   Torva Messor Vs Dr T 15-3

13.   Bibliogryphon Vs. Book 0-6

Hit for ...Banana?

Edit: Hit for four people actually. Two matches now tied, Joey-Banana unchanged, as Banana marches towards a record.

I really thought he was recovering. Shame to hear about really...

Joey and Banana share more points. Unlucky tie, as Joey has more points than any losing team in history, and is one hit off a score higher than any winning team bar Banana now

 

2 draws: Quim Reaper is level, but Maryport leads on the Age Difference by about 24 months! So close. Both teams praying for Billy Clayton in complete different ways...

 

Clorox is level with AO Guy.

 

Clorox: Capon 78 Torme 66 = 72
AO Guy: Parrikar 63 Hammer 79 = 71

 

Again, Allen leads but it could not be closer. And this is another tie only one person has Norwich's finest up and coming terminal ill musician.

 

One last thing, if you want a laugh, my subs list:

 

subs

12.   Karen Lewis

13.   Berne Torme

 

This happens every fucking year to me! Bah.

 

Round 2

1.       Rad Vs.  Yorkshire Banker 6-0

2.       Chorizo Vs. Grim Up North 9-6

3.       Clorox Vs. Alt Obits Guy 6-6

4.       Maryportfuncity Vs. The Quim Reaper 3-3

5.       DDT Vs. Death Impends 15-12

6.       The Dead Cow Vs. Deadsox 3-3

7.       Charon Vs. Engineer 3-0

8.       Deathray Vs. The Mad Hatter 3-6

9.       Gcreptile Vs. msc 16-9

10.   Joey Russ Vs.  Banana 15-22

11.   Sir Creep Vs. Spade Cooley 7-11

12.   Torva Messor Vs Dr T 15-3

13.   Bibliogryphon Vs. Book 0-6

14.   John Key Vs. Heef 0-3

15.   Young Willz Vs.  Pedro 0-3

16.   The Old Lady Vs. Boudicca. 0-0

 

 

Anyhow, while we wait out the further twists and turns of the month, why not listen to some soothing music?

Respect to Joey and Banana

 

:bow:

 

For Banana to have 6 dead out of 11 in 18 days and still not be sure they are going to win is just ridiculous.

 

For Joey to have 5 dead out of 11 in 18 days and still need at least 2 more to even have an outside chance is outrageous.

Umm, I believe I had Torme as well, though that still leaves me behind Deadsox on age difference.

Tbh, I doubt I’d win this match. If I had any chance of winning, it’d be by having both of my remaining plausible names to die (Starling and Donbavand) as well as one of the names I have more or less written and not have any of his surviving differentials die. Tough task tbh...

I wouldn’t give up yet, I’m not too confident with any of my remaining picks.

Aye, my feelings entirely - there's a lot of talent reluctant to perform on both our teams.

To be fair, at least you've actually had hits. @theoldlady and @Boudicca seemed to have been held up in the tunnel by an act of God. Or at the wrong stadium...

Some great names up for grabs next round in terms of obits. Could be one of our more colourful months on record.

Indeed, though I'm looking at Banana's score and wondering where he does research!
