Unless I've missed something earlier, the 1st result on page 915 was a win for Scotland. With my team picking up the win above, should we not be sitting at 2-1 Scotland above, with the correction following through the other results. 

You're right... thanks for pointing this out! 

RotW: Dee_62 (3) and G_man1985 (3) vs Jacksgranda (5) and Leeds Saint (5) 
Scotland: Frankie S (9) and pleslie99 (9) vs Bully Wee Villa (5) and Slippery P (2)
RotW: Blackislekillie (7) and madwullie (4) vs Audaces Fortuna Juvat (9) and Cowden0 (8)
Draw: Livi Lion (6) and WILLIEA (8) vs Wilkinson1998 (5) and The_Kincardine (9)
Scotland: BigBo10 (4) and gkneil (8) vs Eednud (4) and Ross. (6)
 

Latest score: Scotland:  -2½ Rest of The World

Kincardine's predictions were still bollocks however.

Cup score submitted, 3/10 for monday in the league.

Had to google the leap year question afterwards because I was so confused by it, every days a school day!

f**k. Just spent a good 10 minutes writing out an explanation in response to your PM. Should have read the thread first :)

Anyway, another result is in, and another black mark in Kincardine's copybook...

  • Irvine_buddie (2) and Supermik (8) 10-13 Scotfree (8) vs Dee Man (5)

Latest score: Scotland:  -3½ Rest of The World

I've brought great shame to my country.. I feel like Chris Iwelumo.

A seven for the cup thingy. 

Woo. My quiz is harder than the Aussie one :)

It's a good day to be part of the Rest of the World (or as The Captain said in his PM, "It's shite being Scottish")...

  • The Captain (5) and alang1993 (4) 9-10 Welshbairn (3) and MSU (7)

Latest score: Scotland:  -4½ Rest of The World

And a massive 1 prediction out of 6 for Kincardine... that reads like my typical Saturday accumulator.

How can it be 2 1/2-4? Surely if we have a half they have a half??

Also-some of these Scottish lads need to get their fingers out! We should be pumping this shower

Haud the fucking bus here, Cardi.  Given the ties that have already been played my forecast for where we'd be was Équipe d'Écosse 21/2 - 41/2  Reste du Monde - which is exactly where we are.  This is forecasting so spookily accurate that it verges on augury!

In fact I feel inspired to start a Quiz Thread weekly fixed odds coupon.  £1 each.  I'll pick the teams and the outcomes (home/away/draw) and, for expediency, I'll ask Deefiant to put the stakes/winnings through his PayPay account.  We'll be millionaires by Christmas!

Who's in?

Those were my thoughts when I posted my score. However, when you look at who we were up against ;):thumsup2

I actually won! :o

Best win of the round so far.  In footballing parlance, a 6-pointer and a result that confirmed my broad-brushstroke prediction ;)

Tuesday's quiz...

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/mind-games/quiz?quizId=7293&sectionId=1

Knew four, scored five. Although I don't really agree with the flag question I got right, The Australian disgracefully running scared of ethnic Serbian opinion and refusing to count Kosovo as a country.

Cardinal having another mare. Scores from 7 ties to add up and it's cluster after cluster

That'll do you no favours further down the line. Mark my words...

At the risk of causing the Cardi further confusion, turns out my 10 was for Tuesday, not Monday, as can be seen in the screenshot. My Monday score is a less impressive 6.

Pretty sure my coupon on Saturday had 3 home wins and 2 away. Obviously I'd picked them the wrong way round. But by your logic, my coupon should be worth something! But I'm up for your idea as long as it's not you picking the teams!

I'm no stranger to a f**k-up, but I fail to see the problem ... 2.5 to Scotland, 4.5 RotW ... 7 matches played ... 1 still to go...

Am I missing something here?
