I know I've not got much chance with players like you left in it, but worth the gamble to win a lifetime supply of Twix's

Is it really only 4 days since we were sweltering at 28 degrees? Don't you just love the English Summer?

So close but yet so far, well done Dazzler, I'll be cheering you on for the rest of the tournament.
For Ralph and Spot, thanks very much for arranging this competition, it got me through the early stages of lockdown with something to look forward too a couple of times a week and it has been great fun with everyone! Let's hope it makes a return next year.

Phew!
Sneaked in!!
Commiserations, Old Sausage....
Cracking game though.
Will still be resonating down Spot the Ball history in another 500 years.
By then, I'll be long gone and you'll still be in your youth.

Well done to you Buxton, old butter-bean. A true epic, wasn't it?
I trust my fans are proud despite their disappointment.
Very many thanks to competition organisers both human and canine.

Re: ***SPOT THE BALL*** (Quarter Finals) RESULTS NOW IN
That's fine with me but you need to tell Dodgy Dave that it could cost him 1,000 Twix's. Anyway, 100/1 is probably abou the right odds when playing BuxtonRalphCoatesComb wrote: ↑Mon Aug 17, 2020 2:20 pmDodgy Dave from Lower Darwen has been on with his latest odds

Dazzler 5/4
COTC1882 5/1

No new Dobber but I have a some beers, one for during the live match and one to celebrate with afterwards and proclaim "The King is dead, long live the KIng"
Tuesday or Thursday evening would be best for me if that suits Buxton.
If I remember correctly this is my third semi so third time lucky. I know I lost to Goobs last time and pretty sure I lost to Buxton in the first STB comp so need to even things up

Re: SPOT THE BALL Quarter Finals - Now ended See Semi Final Thread
Not tried either of those!
Or even seen them before.
They 'Export' stuff?
Have to give 'em a go.
Since emigrating 8 miles to the Hope Valley, usually opt for draft Bakewell Bitter.
Good point of proper bitter bitter.
