no need for that kind of behaviour in the league, we have to live here the cup is just a fling, I've got a good mind to report you to the blazers.

 

ohh wait.

 

6 for Wednesday

He doesn't have a blazer: he has a cassock, a fascia and and a zucchetto.

George Cardinal Pell wearing the ordinary dress of a cardinal: black cassock with scarlet (red) piping and buttons, scarlet fascia (sash), pectoral cross on a chain, and a scarlet zucchetto.

The mind boggles as to why he wears a courgette and what he might do with it.

That pic is of an Archbishop who was found guilty of last month but we're not supposed to know over here as his name was suppressed in case it prejudices another case in March.

I wouldn't be apologising to a corrupt religious/political type.   Also, in real life he is an arse that disappears to the toilet when it's his round.

Wait, what? 

Cup results to be in by Sunday evening please. If you can fit it into your busy schedule of being unkind.

I think Hollywood scriptwriters could do worse than adapt the P+B Quizmas Cup for the silver screen. Might I modestly suggest a title such as "Men against Boys" or "Cardinal's Points".  A reminder of the current scores: Old Guard 17.5 - 20.5 Young Whippersnappers.

Plenty more results are in:

Ross. 9 9 Tynierose
Dee Man 7 7 Ziggy
FrankieS 9 7 The Captain
Welshbairn 8 11 The DA
WhiteRoseKillie 10 9 Audaces Fortuna Juvat
Peasy23 9 7 Salvo Mantalbano

Dee Man's bonus point against Ziggy could make the difference, as could Tynierose who didn't get one (whereas Ross. did). The scores are sitting at:

Old Guard 21.5 - 22.5 Young Whippersnappers

And there are still FOUR matches left to play with 36 hours left to play 'em. If none of the matches are completed, we end up with a fucking draw. What's the chances? And more importantly , what the feck do we do then? I might have to invent a totally arbitrary way of calculating a winner. To prevent that from happening, here's a final nudge to the four missing chaps:

Final league tables to follow in a couple of hours. Bizarrely, blackislekillie has been on league duty all week, yet not bothered with the cup. Could this be a game changer?

Not sure if it is in time (or makes a difference) but I got a 6 for Thursday and a 5 for Friday.

Won't matter mate @Cardinal Richelieumakes up the rules as he goes along to suit his old team agenda.   The level of corruption and bribery on this thread has left me aghast.

I'm considering a purge tbh.   Down with religious, political French types and all that jazz.

Cannae ban a mod mate. I know you don't like rules and shit, but even you must know that one. No other c**t is bleating about missing out on an easily-attainable point. 

Anyway - it's been a while, but it's back to league duties. 

It's a full boat in the Premiershit, with the trophy going back to Asia ... Christophe scoops 2nd and down goes the English contingent ... Leeds Saint and Kincardine ... Salvo's late salvo gets him into the play-offs.

A couple of the SWL teams are still on their holidays and thus, are no longer in the SWL. Down go MSU and DublinMagyar, with Blackislekillie in the play-offs on BNQD. Up top, gkneil and Helpma make it a 1 and 2 for SPFL teams with red badges ... and flying the red flag in the play-offs is our very own BWV.

But the real story has taken place in the BHL. Long time lurker (not the user Longtimelurker, an actual long time lurker) - Mark Connolly has blitzed the BHL on his first attempt. He obviously spent all his time boning up on trivia rather than trying to come up with a snazzy user name   ... a salutary lesson to us all there I feel.  Firstname|Initial|Year of Birth JamesP_81 is promoted, and it's king of the play-off question askerer, Slippers P - who is in the play-offs. 

A special mention to sureiknow who appeared briefly and then disappeared without trace, a bit like his team, Gretna.

So, would anyone like to post a play-off question? ... if so, please post your question and tag the 4 participants and deal with the aftermath (be thankful Tynierose isn't in the play-offs - the guy really is a four letter fellow).

Well done @Mark Connolly and welcome back @G_Man1985

I wonder if any other old stagers would consider a return @WhiteRoseKillie @DeeMan @jagfox99 @Arabdownunder @Frankie S @Swarley @die hard doonhamer @scotfree etc etc etc 

A couple of them said they cannae commit to it ... hopefully some of the other stalwarts will return to the fold.

I can see me being like an Elgin. Be in this bottom league forever more.
I've a work mate who plays this also.

Get your mate to join! The more the merrier! And trust me ... posting run-of-the-mill scores weekly makes it all the sweeter when you occasionally have a good run of form. The league needs a strong Elgin City.

Here’s the play-off question for the play-offees

Doon or up

@Salvo Montalbano  v  @Bully Wee Villa

Up or doon

@blackislekillie  v. @SlipperyP

Raith Rovers, East Stirlinghsire, Third Lanark & Hamilton Accies were all relegated from the old First Division in consecutive seasons in the 1960’s.

What was their combined points total?
