Cardinal Richelieu Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) So that's all the cup results in. And what an exciting round it was... TIE 1 LiviLion (5+2) 7 dyl (3+1) 4 pleslie99 (4+5) 9 Pleslie goes through with aplomb. TIE 2 Ross. (2+3) 5 Eednud (6+5) 11 Leeds Saint (4+4) 8 Interviewed after the match "These pre-season Cup ties are difficult when you haven't finalised your squad for the next season. So a very inexperienced squad travelled to Switzerland and performed well. In fact probably better than most of last season's regulars. A first half 6 but missed an open goal in the last minute. Jet lag kicked in a bit in the second half but happy with 5." ... Meanwhile, Ross. refused to be interviewed but released a statement blaming "The Guinness" for his team's poor showing. TIE 3 Wilkinson1998 (4+3) 7 madwullie (5+5) 10 Jagfox99 (4+5) 9 Madwullie goes through. Jagfox99 must be as sick as a parrot, as 9 would be enough in many of the ties. TIE 4 Tynieness (7+2) 9 Blackislekillie (6+6) 12 Frankie S (6+5) 11 A high-scoring tie and a bit of a shock, as a BHL side rattles in 12 goals to knock out previous league champions and cup holders... TIE 5 Bully Wee Villa (4+3) 7 irvine_buddie (3+3) 6 WILLIEA (5+5) 10 No shocks in Tie 5, as WILLIEA trounces his lower league opposition. TIE 6 Dee Man (2+3) 5 Jacksgranda (3+3) 6 WhiteRoseKillie (5+7) 12 And no shocks in tie 6 as cup specialist romps his opponents. Jacksgranda rued his team's performance as "crap" and Dee Man must be regretting getting me to trawl back through the thread to find a link to the quiz. TIE 7 Audaces Fortuna Juvat (5+6) = 11 Dee_62 (4+6) 10 BigBo10 (8) Dee_62 voiced concerns before the match that "anyone with a Latin user name is going to be good at quizzes" .. .and by jove he was right. 10 is a fine score, but it wasn't enough, and AFJ goes through. TIE 8 deej (6-5) 11 Cowden0 (5+6) 11 A fine pair of scores, and they've got it all to do again, with the replay to be held somewhere in Ireland. TIE 9 Alang1993 (6+3) 9 Gman_1985 (4+5) 9 Likewise, Gman_1985 put in a Herculean display against the Premiership giants and earns himself a money-spinning replay. TIE 10 MSU (5+5) 10 Supermik (3+3) 6 In the post-match interview, MSU declared "It was a game of two halves" ... just the sort of insightful commentary we strive for here in the EtADDJJT. TIE 11 Peasy23 (4+5) 9 Cardinal Richelieu (5+3) 8 "f**k off" snarled Cardinal Richelieu to a somewhat bemused Hazel Irvine when asked for his comment about his team's performance. TIE 12 gkneil (5+4) 9 Helpma (4+3) 7 In a late kick-off, gkneil's average performance was enough... TIE 13 Welshbairn (6+6) 12 The_Kincardine (5+6) 11 Post match, The_Kincardine confided that he was "not expecting to progress"... despite achieving a score that would have won most of the ties. However, his premonition proved to be spot-on.... TIE 14 SlipperyP (4+3) 7 Die Hard Doonhamer (3+3) 6 Goals were in short-supply, as were the words in the post-match interview. Both teams opting for "shite". TIE 15 johnnydun (2+3) 5 Scotfree (6+5) 11 Johnny never got out the starting blocks and Scotfree progresses... TIE 16 Arabdownunder (4+4) 8 Swarley (2+4) In keeping with the one word interview technique, Swarley declared that he was "fecked". And how right he was. So two replays! I'll do a traditional question since G_man1985 has problems accessing quiz sites... Deej vs Cowden0 and Alang1993 vs G_Man1985 .... PM me your answer to the following question ... on what date was Emmerdale Farm changed to simply Emmerdale? (I'm looking for the date the first show was broadcast as Emmerdale) And a bonus greenie for the first person who knows who revealed that the reason for changing the title was "it doesn't take so long to read" and they can "pack a lot more story in"...

Then Patrick Kielty appeared so I changed channel. Not sure if you are kidding, but the Patrick Kielty show is Debatable.

There is a new series starting on BBC1 at 2.15 if you want to watch it. I find it quite enjoyable, although other folk have said it drags on a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the two us us had added our scores together, WRK would still have won! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Maturin Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 An eight. A rough knowledge of Africa plus my daughters Roman coins homework set me on the way to a decent score. If only there had been a boy band question... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
