I think I seen the aftermath of one of those sessions a short while ago, it involved a ramble about a number of dogs he has, which was very unclear, and training them.  🤷‍♂️

Rumour has it that Ivan Pavlov slaverered every time he got a play-off notification from Oor Slippery.

We're over an hour past the deadline, I'm a little late as was taking an aunt to the temple, good citizen than I am...

The answers are in for Play Off Weekend #119.

Back to the wall this weekend are;

Taxi For Play Off

@8MileBU P3 W2 L1 last app:05/10/2019

7563 miles!

@pleslie99 P15 W12 L3 last app:09/11/2019

My logic behind this answer is as follows, 42 clubs, I'm discounting the order and putting an average number of miles between each one of 50 (the travel between ibrox and celtic park is offset by whoever is next to Ross county and Inverness in the tables) so 42 x 50 = 2100 so my answer is 2100 miles.

Bus Pass Play Off

@Spring Onion P3 W2 L1 last app:23/11/2019

I'm taking a punt with 3187 miles.

@Cardinal Richelieu P18 W11 L7 last app:19/10/2019

Well, there are 41 journeys. I'd say the longest distance is about 250 miles and the shortest 0.01 miles. I could take the average, but since there are a lot of teams in the central belt, I'm going to quarter it instead. Therefore, 2,562.5 miles.

@BigBo10 P5 W2 L3 last app:24/08/2019

3427 miles. I’ve not a pissing clue.

Tap League Champions

@Salvo Montalbano 

41 journeys, probably an average distance of maybe 30 miles, but the outliers like Stranraer (110 miles from my house, I think; I was checking google maps last week for the cup game but didn't go) Berwick (around 70 miles), Peterhead etc will boost those somewhat. So I'll say 1,800 miles and will probably be miles off.

v

 @Mark Connolly

It’s about 180 miles to Dingwall from my house, so that times 42 clubs plus 1 extra mile per club. 7602 miles.

Bottom League Champions (I see no difference in their scores).

@CaspianChris

NO SCORE

v @mathematics

My strategy was to consider the top league, got a rough estimate of 1000 miles, then multiplied by 4 for the 4 leagues, then added 1000 to consider places like Annan and Elgin, then added 3.14*100, cause Maths. So: 5314 miles.

Question -If you were to travel by car to all top 42  Scottish senior football club stadia, in order of league position, as from 12:00 today. How many miles would you travel?

First up the Champions of the tap League goes to @Salvo Montalbano, unlucky @Mark Connolly

Champion of the Diddy League @mathematics with a B medal runner up @CaspianChris

Promotion for @pleslie99 to the tap league

Also promoted, but just to the middle thingy @BigBo10 

I suppose it's the taken part that matters as the gruesome list all got relegated @8MileBU, @Spring Onion & @Cardinal Richelieu

Note: It was a delight to do that question as myself and son went through all the stadia looking at pictures of each and then google the distance between them.  Took about 2 hours. Very educational for him.

Best of luck everyone for this week.

PS @Spring Onion any more of your slander, you will get pickled.
