A reminder of the rules ... please send your score and any comments in a message to me by Monday 12 o'clock. The first team from the list below that doesn't respond will be replaced by @dee_62 .. any other team after that that fails to return a score will be knocked out automatically. 

Here's a reminder of the draw....

G_Man 1985 vs WhiteRoseKillie

Bully Wee Villa vs Edmund (we'll be losing a top quizzer!)

The_Kincardine vs Swarley

Alang1993 vs Die Hard Doonhamer

Jacksgranda vs SlipperyP

Supermik vs Peasy

Cardinal Richelieu vs Welshbairn

Eckthearab vs Jagfox99. 

And here's the quiz! I'll warn you ... it's a bit of a stinker.

An unassailable 15/10 with no passes 

5/10 and I feel embarrassed that I knew the sitcom question

4/10 and the sit com was the only one I was sure of.

For once changing my mind on a 50/50 paid off (tourist centre).

In the running for the dreaded black spot, Jim lad!

I will expect Jacksgranda and all his family to be wearing black armbands, or points please RC. 

Won't be playing today....

Fucked if I can get that quiz to open on my phone. I'll try the desktop version when I start "work".

Never occurred to me, sorry about that! If anyone is having problems with it, let me know and I'll just copy and paste it into this thread. 

That's my cup score transmitted to myself. Looks like TNS Welshbairn will be progressing to the quarter finals. :(

With most of the results in, here's Week 4's league table. Congrats to WhiteRoseKillie absolutely romped it in the end. Both he and eckthearab add to their burgeoning trophy collection. Unlucks to The_Kincardine who hibsed it on the last day. 

At the other end, G_Man did just enough to avoid his 4th blackstar on the trot. Commiserations to SlipperyP, who not only is mourning for the death of his beloved king, but also has to suffer a black mark in his copybook. Still, there's always the cup!

A couple of results from the early kick-offs...

Supermik 2-5 Peasy23 

Peasy makes it look easy, er peasy, with a three goal cushion.

Bully Wee Villa 4 – 4 Edmund

A rather low -scoring game from these two behemoths of quizzing. I suspect Edmund’s form might have suffered from a complete lack of questions about “Australia’s Got Talent”. Replay to be played at Monday lunchtime.
