Less than half an hour now until permitted Estimating-time!

Redbeard

Anyone up for Officiating the Liverpool Count please note that the Count Thread can be opened at 7.15 tonight, or shortly thereafter.

UTC!!

Redbeard

It was only after ten winless matches at the start of the season that we did our first Count and got our first win. The up-and-down nature of our season from that point thus was only to be expected. Yet we have survived, and that was about the best we could have achieved. Next season must involve pr...

Redbeard

Of course, Ralph.

I was joking...

Redbeard

D-D, please see my 10.00am post above.

As a team, we couldn't even get started until five hours of Estimating-time were gone.

Redbeard

Neither am I a flying rat...

I was only explaining why I haven't Officiated for a while. No hard feelings, like.

Do you want the Sheff Utd Count, Ralph?

Redbeard

Played, BOT. All the best to you in the final.

I know, Steve: I was just clarifying.

Do you want the Liverpool Count, then?

If we can begin Estimations at 7.15pm on Tuesday, giving ourselves the full 24 hours plus one, you might just get us a win!

Redbeard

I've watched the last three games at my brother's house. He has Sky and BT whereas I don't. I'm daft enough to be going there for the Liverpool match on Wednesday as well. Besides, my only computer is my desktop: I have no laptop, tablet or mobile. I however have performed numerous Counts over many ...

That would be a shame, Steve: I see great potential in your manner of Counting. It takes time for the wins to come regularly, but indeed over the years many new Officiators have given up after just one go, whilst the majority of our team have never once wielded a tin-opener. And by the way we would ...

Redbeard

Meanwhile many thanks to you, Steve.

Though the Unit-files on the chopping-board are not straight enough.

Redbeard

What_no_pies gets 5 points and Ralphie 4. Well done, each of you. Both scores have significance at the top end of the leaderboard, and only four points now separate the top three.

Please note, everyone, that our ritual and the ethereal powers we invoke are indeed magical yet far from occult-related, and thus such coarse language as 'bum bullets' and 'yellow p1ss' can only negatively affect their natural tendency to work in our favour. Perhaps our unexplained match losses over...

Go on, Steve!

Redbeard

Well, we do have a score to settle with Leeds after that f***ing fiasco at their place, don't we?

Redbeard

Why not, Steve? - We are desperate after all...

Redbeard

We've now missed five hours!

I can't do this one because I'm going out tomorrow to watch the game.

Surely someone can take it on, though?

Redbeard

Since a Leeds Count thread could have been opened as early as 11.30 this morning, we have already lost nearly three hours of valuable Estimating-time.

But if a Volunteer can quickly now step up to the plate we may yet see a famous and revengeful win at TM tomorrow.

Who's up for the job, then?

Redbeard

Aberfan in 66, then Donald Campbell's death-crash on Coniston Water in January 67.

Two posters who I've abused klaughed and joked with over many years of posting...

Always have liked a good klaugh.

Redbeard

According to the Second Mate, it was they who picked me up: off the road outside the hostel.

Redbeard

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

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

Redbeard

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.

Redbeard

I thought I had lost...

Salvo unleashed. Though accuracy this morning might be slightly below standard.

Redbeard

: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 ...

Redbeard

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...

Or indeed will he be walking you?

Redbeard

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

Or will you be walking Spot at that hour?

Redbeard

Great stuff Huw. That was a real epic, and deservedly ensures our Prem status for next season. :) Count Winners & Points Scores: Leedsdave has 5 and tiger76 earns 3. Both Estimates were almost spot on and these Counters can Count themselves very unlucky to miss out on bonus points. Claretdavid's 2 e...

Tomorrow evening should be OK for me, Ralphie.

Many congrats on your continued incredible form, G_P!

Bovril, I recommend firstly that you ask your local library for a list of Counting-related books.

Redbeard

Like last week, Huw, I'll be going out to watch the game, but will post a leaderboard update later on when I get home.

Redbeard

Huw - Identical Estimates for each type of Unit are common in these cases. But each winner of a particular type scores one point. There is no sharing except as always between multiple winners of the Total Unit Count and/or the Joose. Hope this helps.

Redbeard

Kidneys - 31
Chicks - 38
Blacks - 42
Pintos - 34
Adzukis - 55

Total Units - 200

Jooose - 122.

A big game needs a big tin.

The excitement is building already...

Redbeard

Alright, Huw? - Can you confirm your intention to perform the crucial Fulham Count? You can open your thread today at 7.00 pm at the earliest. May I remind us all that the matter of timing is critically important. You can begin after that time, but not before it. We all saw what happened v West Ham ...

Pineapple or deck shrapnel ?

Neither! - I've still got both eyes. And the eyesight is surprisingly good for a man aged well over 500.

JG, a lot of people think I'm already blind in one eye.

88 in 118.

Well done to you, Ralph, but this is beyond the call of duty and we must have someone else next time.
