No pitch invasions in the play-offs, in fact nobody bothered to turn up apart from @Bully Wee Villa  to add to his derby delight he stays in the SWL. I did tag everyone and reposted the questions. Didn't DM though as I know everyone on here can read.

Now for teh answers:

 

The play-off results:

Rubber Souls

@CaspianChris   0   v   0    @The_Kincardine

Revolvers

@Bully Wee Villa     1   v   0    @SlipperyP

There are 3 questions involving tenuous links between Beatles songs and football.

1) Which Beatles song has a Raith Rovers connection?

"Cry Baby Cry" from the White Album. The 3rd verse begins "The duchess of Kircaldy always smiling and arriving late for tea"

Raith never played at Penny Lane.

2) Home of the 1994/95 EPL Champions, according to a Beatles song, how many holes are there in Blackburn, Lancashire?

BWV was 3,500 off as it's 4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire. Although that was in 1967 so probably a lot more now. Song "A Day In The Life" from the Sgt Pepper album.

3) Which Spanish club’s nickname is the Yellow Submarine?

BWV answered correctly Villareal so he stays up.

Looks like no change in divisions for anyone this week.

Mon 4/10

Sorry about the playoff @Eednud was caught up in an altercation on Sunday afternoon in St Andrews.

My answers were - 1. I am a walrus (song a bout the local girls) 2. 13 & 3. Villarreal

That would have meant @Bully Wee Villa deserved it.

Yours

Anyone want to do next quiz or will I bash on with it later in week?

I think @alang1993 said he was going to do it, based on some of the questions from @Frankie S's fiendish quiz at the Voodoo Rooms (not Lounge!) last week.

Did I? :lol: More than happy to let Tynie do it. If he wants to include some of those questions, I can send them to him.

On the topic of the quiz in Edinburgh, I enjoyed us getting off to the worst possible start. Cardinal leading us into the quiz hall yelling " Here we fucking go!", only for him to remember that there was a more serious quiz still going on in the hall(by more serious, i mean that it was an individual quiz being done in complete silence). 

Here is the story in GIF form

It's not a million miles away from the truth actually! :lol:

One of the harder questions from the quiz was: 

In the Enûma Eliš, the Babylonian creator myth, which primordial goddess of the sea creates eleven monsters to take revenge for the death of her husband, Apsû?

Correct answer: Tiamat

Alang1993's answer:

@alang1993 crack on mate.

I will do the next one.

I don't mind doing it if you're busy @alang1993 ... we'll definitely let Tynierose have a shot at competing in this one, as I don't think he believes us how difficult it was!
