You've managed to highlight the result of the night, and probably the result of the Season. Well done Green Parrot. Something akin to Cheltenham beating Manchester City :)

Obviously, ClaretBurns and Redbeard will need to play added time.

Available tomorrow chaps??
I normally get home around half 6 from work, so from 7 onwards I shall be free to play the replay with the Pirate.

Ralph - Having seen Burns's post above, I suggest 7.30 as our KO time.

Or will you be walking Spot at that hour?

He always walks me ;)

I will post the images now. When, and how you make your selections is up to you. E-mail is always an option to ralphcoatescomb at aol.com

Good luck to you both. Images coming right up.

These images show just how few we have left in the bank but, they are the same for both players

You are right if they look alike ;)

Are images 4 and 5 the same?

If so Redbeard needs to get his eyes tested.

Nearly as bad as me when I guessed the wrong square when the ball was still in the picture.

Many thanks for organising Ralph and Spot

Credit to you both.

I could send you some pictures but mine only have the ball in the back of the b***ard’s net.

Sorry, MrTT, but methinks you are the one in need of an eye test.

Two of the pics are very similar and perhaps only a moment apart, but they are not the same.


Meanwhile, well played, Burns. Let's go again, then... 8-)

Slappy is off consulting with the powers that be (Mrs Mangan and Ted Harrop from across the backs) re a VAR decision AFTER the result has been declared.

It appears that Sproggy scored 8 versus Wile E Coyote. This makes the score Sproggy 8 Wile E Coyote 5.

It does not affect the Semi Final fixtures but the records need to be accurate.

I am indebted to Wile E for nudging me in the right direction :)

:lol: :lol:

My apologies to Burns, your good self, and to all our expectant fans awaiting the outcome.

I overdid the rum last night in celebrating BFC Prem survival, and have just woken up between two snoring whores in an unknown hostel apparently in Valetta.

Er...where were we? - Oh, yes: spotting balls.

A few more minutes, if you please. 8-)

Oh well, well done Redbeard, you need to sleep between two snoring whores in Valetta for the rest of the competition, cannot break the superstition now :D

Thanks very much for organising this tournament Ralph and Spot, it has been great fun and a distraction from the world at the moment and I have really enjoyed it.

Ralphie, I make my score zero, so how can Burns have lost?? :?

EDIT - Oh. On second perusal of pics and coloured squares, I see I did win.

Sorry - I'm a bit unsteady this morning. 8-)

Ignoring the obvious double meaning, in fact I scored two.

Right. So was it 2-1 or 2-0?

Spot got it at 2-0 and a Semi Final place for you. Where did you say you'd picked up these wenches? ;)
