Mr/ Mrs/ Ms Ears !!!

Go wash your mouth out!

The counting must be carried out according to the TFC Regulations. It could upset the equilibrium of the match !

Anyway, results are in and the photographic evidence is being processed ;)

RESULT

There were 89 Beans in 178 mls jus

EDITED because of an Admin error. Africlaret's entry was not added to the Spreadsheet :(


The winners are Africlaret with 89 Beans and

HunterST BFC with 177 mls jus

So many players were close, but no cigars !

Me and Spot are out for a walk before the big game at Villa Park. I'll leave the scoring to them as can count :lol:

Thank you to all those who took part.

Steve, your duplicate BEAN estimate did not go unnoticed. Spot said "**** him! It's too close to the count now" :lol:

Africlaret had 89 beans! Because I got bumped off 89 to be 90. Who are you, Lee Mason?

Would appreciate a recount or a commendaton as I struggle through day 266 of our lockdown.

Oooops!

Good job I didn't add the scores. Sorry to Africlaret and Longsidepies :o :shock: :(

That's what VAR is for. Too keen to get the dog out before the game... excuses, excuses, excuses!

Surprisingly low quantity in the tin. They must have been very broad beans, very broad indeed.

Huw, seeing as you have a spreadsheet of the last round's scores, are you in a position to add 5 points for Africlaret (exact estimate) and 3 points for HunterST ?

After the earlier debacle when Africlaret's estimates were left off my spreadsheet, I fear that it could all go Pete Tongue :(

They weren't Faves ;)

Amazingly, this is the second Butter Bean count this season. Obviously, lockdown has created cupboards with similar contents ;)

I actually deleted it after the Admiral informed me it was too big.
I cheated by copying and pasting the previous weeks and then adding in the new point scorers.

Before The Admiral resurrected the Tinned Food Count, we were floundering in position 19, with no hope. We were going to be the next Derby County (2008).

Since its reintroduction, we have won 2 and drawn a further 2.

Well done Admiral and thank you for bringing it back.

I may as well ask now: do we have a Volunteer for the Wolves Count?

This would require a 16.30 start on Sunday.

Steward's enquiry? That's for horse racing. We have VAR. Guess who's on VAR duties? Yes, you guessed... SPOT !

Spot says **** off! :lol:
