Cup results are in.

@scottmcleanscontacts (2) & @The Hologram (7)V @Geaky (3) & @Bully Wee Villa (0)

Good win for the top seeds, Geaky tried but his partner wasn't at the races.

@kingjoey (2) & @JamesP_81 (1) V @Jacksgranda(3) & @ArmadaleKillie(2)

Low scoring tie here, defences on top. Jacksgrandas sneaky last minute tap in takes them through. 

@WhiteRoseKilie (0)& @Salvo Montalbano(4) V @mathematics (5)& @Blootoon87(2)

WRK no showed leaving it all to do for Salvo, valiant effort but 2v1 was always going to be a mismatch.

@Rugster (5) & @alang1993(4) V @peasy23(4) & @101(4)

Tighter than a nuns you know what but rugster came up trumps for his team to send them through.

@MSU (5) & @BigBo10(4) V @NJ2 (5)& @LincolnHearts(2)

MSU and BigBo10 with some consistent scoring, enough to progress.

@SlipperyP (0) & @Spring Onion (4) V @Tynierose (8) & @Snobot (1)

slippery even got his wee one to try, he also failed. Wouldnt have mattered as Tynie hits home the highest score of the round.

@thecaptain (4) & @Ross. (4) V @Arch Stanton (6) & @gkneil (4)

close one this, archstantons experience shines through to carry his team into round 3.

@Eednud (6) & @Genuine Hibs Fan (2) V @German Jag (5) & @Helpma (2) V @Silky Si McFly(0) & @Cardinal Richelieu (0)

A 3 way tie, turned into a 2 way tie as quiz royalty cardi and silky both had a mare. Cup expert Eednud pulled his troops over the line.

 

Round 3 sees teams combine again to make teams of 4. Draw below. Quiz link will be up tomorrow hopefully, ill let SlipperyP get the playoffs out the way 1st.

Almost.

Was a tightly fought quiz. Took it on the last question. I think a few of the regulars may be doing the later version, so I won't discuss answers until after they've done it

You were in top two all the way until the carnage round.   We have Glasgow Uni on Sunday unfortunately.   Great avatar you have, my 11 year now knows all of life on mars, my work is done.

Know nothing apart from the score today, so we’ll done to Rose! And the bonus is that you get to travel up here to Angus in the First Round. The bonus bonus is that it’s to Brechin.

We played really poorly but its the result that counts and that's five wins on the bounce.   Two Tommy Coyne goals today, the second is worth a watch on sportscene.  For us older posters I remember his dad playing.  Young TC is now 32 and has scored nearly 350 goals for Linlithgow.

Tommy Coyne’s son is 32!!

I got a 10

Mon 2/10

Cup 8/10

[Arabdownunder]

7/10 for Monday. Rap music, superhero movies and finance clearly not my specialist subjects.

[Bully Wee Villa]

Another zero in the cup quiz! Lucky I'm already out. I think the chance of getting twenty multiple choice questions wrong is about 1 in 315, so that's an achievement of sorts...

In the league, we have had the poet and Everest not long ago, the latter as recently as last week. 

Knew eight, scored eight for me. Didn't know food or finance.
