msc 18,476 Posted April 16, 2019 Yes, Boudicca has beaten The Young Willz Cleansheet Record, which now stands at 75 days. Pretty good for a Cup newcomer. You can all wish her congrates now before the inevitable Mad Hatter winner as we all jinx her. I was waiting for another update, but things seem a bit slow right now. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the few things I had on this forum.... Only fair that, having beaten msc's record in the Hare's Pool, he is the one to announce the loss by me of this one! Well done Bou! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,476 Posted April 21, 2019 Polly Higgins has died. RIP. Banana and Rad share points. DI and Spade extend leads and can now scout each other out.

TQR 14,400 Posted April 21, 2019 Fucking woe betide anyone who has to face DI in future rounds...21 points! Christ on a fucking bendy bus. I was quite content with my meagre 3 point lead over Book until I saw that utter bloodbath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,476 Posted April 25, 2019 LUCKY LOSER STUFF SHOULD WE NEED IT* So last time I tried to give someone a lucky loser spot but never heard back from him till well after the fact - although I did get the funniest excuse ever for it. Hence random draw and frantic searching for last minute teams. So, this time, to avoid more fucking stress, with 5 days left, here are the three names chosen at random using Random.org who will be the Lucky Losers should someone not put in a team again. Lucky Loser draw 1. Bibliogryphon - I shit you not. 2. Pedro 3. Book or The Quim Reaper Now hopefully this WONT be needed this time, but fucking hell, its a random drawing website! Beginning to think Biblio has hacked either my laptop or Random.org tbh... This means the losers of any penalties between Kid/Bou and Chorizo/Torva will exit the competition - tense, eh, he says trying to drum up needless suspense... *You can take as read we might need it, hence provisions, but it would require a series of remarkably unfortunate events to befall several of us. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Key 747 Posted April 26, 2019 0-21? Now this is embarrassing. In the unlikely event I make a comeback, just use whatever of my list remains + the living Presidents of the United States 1. Carter 2 Trump 3 Clinton 4 Bush 5 Barry O, chuck in Putin, Merkel, May if that doesn't make enough. Also known as the "I give up" list. Thanks for letting me play, was fun! Good game folks 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,476 Posted April 30, 2019 OK, all weekend I was like: "I should give the results of the penalties earlier to avoid false hope etc and add some added KO drama ie X was now out UNLESS they scored.." But I didn't, and now I have woken up to a team from someone who has lost the coin toss. Mea culpa, a thousand apologies. Coin tosses Mad Hatter (head) v Boudicca (tails) - (Tails) 1-0 Bou - (Tails) 2-0 Bou - (Heads) 2-1 - (Tails) - Boudicca wins 3-1. Chorizo (heads) v Torva (tails) - (Heads) 1-0 Chorizo - (Tails) 1-1 - (Heads) 2-1 Chorizo - (Heads) 3-1 Chorizo So Torva and the Kid are out barring late shocks. And the Kid is likely out anyway due to personal issues we all genuinely wish him well with, so if his team scores, he eliminates both himself AND Bou, and brings back Luigi... Bibliogryphon. I think I've got a headache. Usual reminders sent out. I now have images in my head of a series of unfortunate events leading to a default final of TQR v Biblio in May, which the latter wins 0-0 on penalties... 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
