SPOT THE BALL Michael Duff Trophy Round 1

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Sun Apr 19, 2020 11:01 am

Draw for Round 2 towards the end of this thread > > >

Same images, same time scales, just different players.

The Draw was debated between me and Spot over his breakfast and we're taking the easiest route for Round 1

There will be a number of byes in later Rounds. This will then give us the required numbers. Make sense? Doesn't matter anyway

Here's the Draw

Joe 14 v Tiger76
The Doge v ClaretNBlue
CnBtrutru v Steve F
Redbeard v Nonayforever
Rowls v John Mac
Colburn Claret v JDRobbo
GiveusaB v ClaretBurns
BertieBeeHead v BigF
Bobinho v Redcloud203
LeedsDave v BrucefanClaret
SozTurf7 v Wile E Coyote
Claret David v Evensteadiereddie
GreenParrot v Conyoviejo
Tricky Trevor v Clansman
Africlaret v ClaretOnTheCoast1882

Concludes 18.00 Tuesday 21 April

Entries can be sent to ralphcoatescomb@aol.com or post them on this thread. If sending them via e-mail, leave a line on here to say that's what you've done.

The images are taken from our 1 - 0 over Palace. Chris Wood scored but the match will be remembered because it was the one where Tom Heaton dislocated his shoulder

Michael Oliver was the Ref. Spot controls VAR.

The same images will be used for Round 1 of the Michael Duff Trophy.

I think I've got the hang of this now. The law of averages states I can't be wrong all the time !

Some tight games in the early kick-offs with some interesting results. Obviously, no clues AND don't miss the final whistle at 6pm tomorrow !

What excitement !?!

VAR has been used for the first time in a Cup match! Spot is still buzzin' ! There's bound to be controversy !

7 hours left with 5 players still to show up... Come on down !

Approaching the last hour, there are only 3 players to make their selections. I hope no one has missed the coach !

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Tue Apr 21, 2020 6:05 pm

Appears that we have had three teams that "MISSED THE BUS"

Before the final results are posted, Spot has gone off to check for any e-mail selections. As they say on Z-Cars... "Stand By"

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Tue Apr 21, 2020 6:16 pm

Firstly, the results

Bobinho and Redcloud203 played out a 9-9 draw but, we were a player short for Round 2. Their draw means that BOTH of them go through to Round 2. Further analysis and 2nd Round draw to follow.

Gone but not for cotton. Congrats Clansman. Thanks for the sport RCC & Spot.

Redbeard · Post by **Redbeard** » Tue Apr 21, 2020 8:55 pm

Well, I was always quietly confident with the home draw v Nonayforever.

It's an away tie next, though, against an opponent who won away. Still, it was only against Africlaret...

Good to see my Parrot going through against Conyo, who it seems was too scared to turn up!

Nonayforever · Post by **Nonayforever** » Tue Apr 21, 2020 9:44 pm

Well done Redbeard. I've started to believe that the law of averages doesn't exist or I'm useless at spot the ball

Redbeard · Post by **Redbeard** » Wed Apr 22, 2020 6:57 am

Buxton's sustained success is our best proof that the above-average is attainable.

That said, not many of us would go so far as to miss meals, ignore the family or forgo sleep for the sake of STB training.

I've heard that he keeps a bucket by his computer desk so as not to waste time going to the bathroom.

Can't believe I won a round of this

Now time to slay a captain
