Leeds Saint Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 3, went wrong way on at least another 3 50/50s. Garbage start to the week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) You'll have to wait until tomorrow before I post the league tables (no great desire since I'm sitting 2nd bottom)...but in the meantime, you can amuse yourself with the cup results (teams in bold go through - teams in italics need to replay) In the first tie, Blackislekillie got a reprieve after his score went missing last week. And I'm sure he wishes he hadn't bothered, since he got humped 10-7 by an in-form Frankie S. 6+4 Frankie S vs Blackislekillie 5+2 In a replay of the last time they squared off in the cup, Kincardine and AFJ played out a 9-9 draw in Glasgow and everyone will need to make a trip over to Belfast for the replay. 4+5 The_Kincardine vs Audaces Fortuna Juvet 3+6 In a late-kick off, cup veteran Leeds Saint showed bum-fluffed Madwullie how the cup works with a resounding 9-7 victory. 4+5 Leeds Saint vs Madwullie 4+3 Hotly anticipated was the match between cup specialist vs newly crowned league champion... WRK declared that his sides performance "may not be good enough" but it turns out it was enough for a narrow 10-9 victory. ... talking out my arse. He was right, it wasn't enough. MSU goes thru!5+5 WhiteRoseKillie vs MSU 7+4 Everyone loves a 3-way cup tie, except Deej and Tynieness who had to be reminded to post their scores late on. Supermik was disappointed with his team's performance (his post-matchs interview consisted of "Au Revoir, Arrivaderchi, Farewell, Auf Weidersen, Feck Off") .. his 8 was not enough to beat Deej and Tynieness's 10s. 5+3 Supermik* vs 5+5 Deej vs 6+4 Tynieness Not sure if Irvine_buddie is still competing, but it helps helpma who gets a bye with a sub-par 7. Still, what he lacked in goal-scoring prowess, he made up for by providing in-depth commentary of his own match... Quote For a team like us, there's only one thing worse than an away tie against lower league opposition, and that's a home tie against lower league opposition. A stumbling first half performance saw open goals missed right, left and centre and the teams cup hopes were hanging by the thinnest of threads by half time, 3/7. In a classic brain fart moment, even knowing the salinity of seawater didn't help guide them to the right answer. Following the hairdryer treatment at half time, the team came out and redoubled their efforts. Unfortunately, double zero is still zero. A pathetic 4/7 opens the door to an ignominious cup exit in the second round. Oh well, back to dreaming of glory 3+4 Helpma vs Irvine_buddie Speaking of sub-par 7s, mine was never going to be enough to overturn the Antipodean Answerer Eednud... 3+4 Cardinal Richelieu vs Eednud 6+3 And finally the tie of the round, with Alang1993 up against a Cowden0 side who are yet to return to 100% fitness. In the end, they both banged in goals for fun with a 12-12 scoreline and a replay.... Cowden0 will be cursing missing an open goal in the 1st half ("Talked myself out of a seven in the first half")6+6 Alang1993 vs Cowden0 6+6 Replay question to follow at some point, unless anyone (who isn't in the replay) fancy posting one instead!
