[mention=44974]Eednud[/mention]  I think [mention=72250]The Captain[/mention] makes the playoff in the 3rd Div.  Can you confirm.

You are correct. Apologies @JamesP_81   but you’re taking the 5th.   @The Captain is 4th.

Bit of a problem with the diddy league, o got 6 for Monday, not 8. I know this leaves me open to receiving the wooden spoon again depending on games in hand, but someone has to get it.

[Eednud]

Well I wrote it down as an 8 and that’s the way it will stay. You will be deducted 2 points for not telling me by smoko on Wednesday but the 2 points are reinstated for being honest. The wooden spoon belongs to 101 this week as any missing scores are deemed, in best Katie Boyle voice, nul points.

[SlipperyP]

Thank you @Eednud, I really don't understand why you are still held in OZ, your're a good man.

First up we will have the 1st Division who gets relegated and who gets in the playoff, playoff.

@Ziggy v @The DA v @wastecoatwilly

Winner will get through to the real weekend play off, other 2 get automatically relegated.

We also have a 2nd Div Play off to see who gets promoted and who goes into the playoff, playoff.

@Eednud v @MixuFixit

Winner will automatically be promoted, loser will get a second chance in the real weekend play off.

Question for all 5 - From Wikipedia, what is the population of Motherwell? (last estimated in 2012).

^^^ These 5 players have 2 questions to answer.  Please put them both in the same PM.

This reminds me of the song Fast Car by Tracy Chapman, especially the line "You'll find work and I'll get promoted". It's very apt, except I've already got a job and I've not been promoted. Well done @Silky Si McFly ... I'm sorely tempted to strip out all that populist nonsense in your quiz I'm running tomorrow, and replace it with questions about architecture and Japanese poetry. 

[JamesP_81]

You are correct. Apologies [mention=72090]JamesP_81[/mention]   but you’re taking the 5th.   [mention=72250]The Captain[/mention] is 4th.

Fair enough.

You'll upset the natives.  Just cos it's not your cup of tea, doesn't mean it isn't tea.

@Ziggy population of Motherwell is 47,000 all of whom would bite a dug.

v

 @The DA Population of Motherwell is around 30K.

v

 @wastecoatwilly I was in motherwell last night the asda looked busy going for 82,000 steelmen.

We also had a 2nd Div Play off to see who gets promoted and who goes into the playoff, playoff.

@Eednud Motherwell will be between 30-40,000 so I’ll go for 35,000

 v

 @MixuFixit Motherwell: 45000

Question  - From Wikipedia, what is the population of Motherwell? (last estimated in 2012).

@The DA fights another day, 'well another playoff question.  Going down quicker than a loose Lanarkshire lassie are @Ziggy & @wastecoatwilly

In the other playoff, glasses of claret getting swallied as @Eednud is promoted to the tap league, congratulations, and in the playoff is @MixuFixit.with his second chance.

The  real playoff answer will be revealed as soon as I have received all the answers.

[mention=29470]SlipperyP[/mention] avoids the wooden spoon as it goes to [mention=66969]101[/mention] .
Over to [mention=29470]SlipperyP[/mention] to check my QDing, gives us the play-off participants play-off stats and set the play-off question.

Coronovirus getting to you?

G=Finish 1st in the top league

2= Finish 2nd in the top league

S= Finish 1st in the middle league

B= Finish 1st in the bottom league

Cup I'm not too sure what that's for

You do know I'm doing the leagues next week.  How do you think your chances will be with a minus 10 start.

Semi Final cup deadline has passed. Answers are below for anyone that took part for fun.

1. What year was Dumbarton FC founded? 1872
2. What is the name of Cove Rangers stadium? BALMORAL STADIUM
3. What team won the Scottish cup in 1984? ABERDEEN
4. What Disney movie features the characters Chief Bogo and Flash? ZOOTOPIA - I did accept zootropolis as it was called this in some countries.
5. What year was Toy Story released? 1995
6. Who voices Rapunzel in the film Tangled? MANDY MOORE
7. What is the name of the building that replaced the Twin Towers following the 2001 attack? THE ONE WORLD TRADE CENTRE
8. What is the name of the tallest Waterfall in England? CAUTLEY SPOUT
9. What is the name of the Tallest mountain in Australia? MOUNT KOSCIUSZKO
10. What year did Winston Churchill 1st become PM of the UK? 1940

 

So onto the 4 souls who made it this far. 

In the 1st semi final saw Silky Si Mcfly take on 101. I had high hopes for Silky after learning he compiles and hosts pub quizzes. Credit where credits due, there was no passes and a genuine attempt at every question was made. However, some of these attempts were weird and wonderful and Silky stumbled his way to 2/10. After that performance the bookies decided all 101 had to do was turn up and a place in the final was his, unfortunately he forgot to turn up, a search party was sent but 101 got lost in the pub. Silky goes through!

 

In the 2nd semi it was 8mileBU v Peasy23.  Much higher scoring affair this. 8mileBU raced away getting the 1st 7 correct, a minor blip as he passed on the waterfall and Aussie mountain but finished strongly for a solid 8. Peasy23 tried to match him and dug deep with some good answers, too many passes in the end saw him score a respectable 6 but it wasnt enough. 8mileBU will face Silky si Mcfly in the final.

Questions for the final will be up tomorrow, again there is no multiple choice and this time it will be out of 20!
