Nobody up for it, then?

I definitely can't do this one.

Redbeard

We have had some excellent debut Counters at the helm this season, but surely there are others out there, just awaiting the right opportunity?

Redbeard

Hallo everyone.

Can we plaease have a committed and capable Volunteer for the West Ham match Officiation?

So as to allow the maximum permitted Estimating-period, the Count Thread can be Opened from 7.15 this evening.

Let's hammer the Hammers!

Sorry.

No need to apologise, Ralph.
I had worked it out.

Last TWO Rounds

Eh?

I've played four out of five games in a six-team group.
I'm in the Europa, not the Champs League, Ralph.

Redbeard

This thread title provokes the most obvious 'What could possibly go wrong' I've seen in quite a while.

Redbeard

Well played, Big F.
That was my first home defeat in quite a while.

You're top only on goal difference ahead of the last round, though...

Redbeard

And Round Two on 15 April?

Redbeard

Are you quite sure, Ralphie, as to Knockout games ending at the final whistle v Fulham on April 10th?

I thought we had won the Charity Shield once and shared it once.

That's correct. We drew 2-2 with Wolves in 1960 besides winning 1-0 against Man City in 1973.

Redbeard

Commy - Which question/answer don't you agree with?

Redbeard

I managed 11 out of 15, or 73%, but really should've done better.
This is not a difficult quiz, tbh.

Redbeard has a 100% record. Can he overturn HunterST in the next game?

Thanks for the due recognition, Ralph.

Please note however that I played HunterST last time out.

And won, of course.

Redbeard

Nice work again david. :) Surely now we have to win at Wolves.

Redbeard

OK, D-D. As soon as I see that someone has volunteered to Officiate, then indeed I'll relax and leave you all to it.

I won't even post an Estimate: promise.

If there's any problem you can contact our BTFCA rep, Carrots123, for guidance or assistance.

Wow! - I feel sleepy already...

Redbeard

Steve1956 - Before the Estimating cut-off I should like to apologise for my intransigence last time out. I should have known of course that you were merely in jest, but due to the critical nature of that Count which nevertheless brought only a third defeat in a row, I was somewhat distracted and unn...

Redbeard

Played, david lad.

43 in 103.

UTC!!

Redbeard

By no means can I step forward for this one.

Redbeard

Hallo all.

Do we have a volunteer for the Wolves Count?

We have already lost a valuable hour and a quarter of Estimating time.

Redbeard

I hope the day went smoothly for you.

She certainly has a name to live up to, and it sounds like she's doing just that.

Don't end up with Nil Points because you missed the bus Indeed I missed two matches in the previous competition, and would most likely otherwise be in the Champions League now. Instead, my pet emerald bird has a perch in the top flight whilst I slum it in the Europa. Let that be a lesson to you all...

Home advantage has proved to be somewhat impotent in these troubled times

I'll have you know I'm far from impotent whether I'm playing at home or away...

And Hunter, I was only being friendly. Though the game will be anything but.

Redbeard

Re. Scotty, it seems a part of him was already off to Rangers.

Though apparently it came back.

Redbeard

Yess!!

- A home game at last!

- And it's against Hunters!

Redbeard

You must be mad...

Redbeard

Too late now for that...

Redbeard

(Re. the 'legend' post.)

Too late now for that...

Redbeard

(Re. the 'trouble maker' post.)

Indeed. Yet you performed the previous Count well, and I was beginning to consider you a bright prospect. Ah well.

Redbeard

Steve, et al. I don't like to boast, but your devotion to the cause is as nothing when compared with my own efforts over many years, about which you seem to know nothing. Many older Counters will no doubt recall my Award For Services To World Tinned Food Counting, made back in 2012 or thereabouts, w...

Indeed I wasn't blaming you, Zlatan, but simply pointing out to Eloise that if I deserve sanction then so do you and the others.

Redbeard

I think the Prem's biggest-thrashing record is under threat here.

We're going to win 10-0.

Redbeard

Good try, Steve, but it's not cheating.
Your suspicion is misplaced and somewhat unfair given my illustrious Counting career.
Don't worry: I'm well within the Rules.

Redbeard

Eloise, young lady, how about tut-tuts also for green_parrot, Nonayforever and Zlatan: all of whom have practically replicated my Estimates?

Redbeard

David - It's something else. But no doubt you will laugh as well.

Redbeard

Well, I'm surprised no-one has realised or even wondered why I was laughing so much in my Estimate post above.

But anyway, all will be revealed after 3pm tomorrow, if no-one gets it before then.

Redbeard

105 in 125.

Redbeard

Just wanted to check whether you were available, david.

A promise is not a commitment until that Count Thread OP is put up on the screen!

And if anyone can be confident after our recent disasters, surely it is your good leaderboard-leading self?

Redbeard

Hallo all.

We require a capable, committed, concentrated and confident Officiator for the Man U game tomorrow.

This Count may be opened for Estimates at 3pm today.

UTC!!

I said I was so used to playing away that I'd forgotten what it's like to be at home...
