Bully Wee Villa Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 8 minutes ago, Eednud said: Because it had questions about Aussie politicians, netball and Japanese islands. I did memorise the order of Japanese islands so didn't mind those so much. And netball, well I didn't think I'd like it but caught the last five minutes of the gold medal match in the Commonwealth Games and found it quite exciting. Helped by the fact that it seemed to be played in Wid Central, Widsville. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Time is up by over 2 hours, just back from the school run in my jammies and cup of coffee. So the results. Celtic won if you didn't know. More important see below.... Silver Medal Play off @As Easterly as it gets! Take a stab at 140. v @Salvo Montalbano NO SCORE Jam Tarts @Helpma Inspired by the sight that is Dundee United taking penalties, I'm going to rush in like only fools do, and say ... 103 v @Ziggy I’ll guess 1 hundred and eighty goals. & Celtic Family (what a coincidence) @wastecoatwilly Celtic have won the Scottish cup 38 times but how many finals,The tarts maybe won 8 to 10 times, so say Celtic 55x4=220 the Tarts maybe 17x3=51+220=271 goals v @Ross. I’m going to use yesterday’s 2-1 as a 3 goal average for finals involving the sides. They have won around 42 between them and i’ll guess another 20 appearances in the final. 3 x 62 = 186 goals scored between them. Question - How many goals have Celtic & Hearts scored in the Scottish Cup Finals up to 2018 (not including penalty shoot outs)? 138 - Celtic 114 & Hearts 24 Congratulation to @As Easterly as it gets! on his second place. Also congratulation to @Helpma & @Ross. Side note - @wastecoatwilly answer was submitted 3 hours before cup final ko. Super Strength Kestrel kicking in already. Thanks all & have a great week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to thank my better half for my lucky 2nd . I looked at the the question and thought 'WTAF'? I asked the missus for a number between 1-300. She said 140. The sum she won at bingo last Wednesday............. I've always trusted her to make a thought out, reasoned response. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good that your wife helps out on the quiz now and again. This is surly a breach of the rules. I for one will be wandering the streets tomorrow morning looking for answers.

Damn I thought they played with 5 strikers for about 80 years. Not that the adrenaline fueled saturday had anything to do with my answer now on a 2 day bursted couch fear. Never win a play-off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
