Raring to go but have to wait till 8.00. Don't want to let the fans down who have nipped off to make a cuppa

Good game Buxton. May the flukiest person win

It will need to be in my case.

Firthy takes a lead going into the break ! That 100/1 bet is looking better by the minute

Time for a 5 minutes brew break.

Never mind great game Buxton. Was too quick with my last choice, excitement got the better of me.

Gripping stuff.
Commiserations, Firthy. All down to the wire.
Well played.

It's my old foe Buxton...

Commiserations Firthy...I should have been more vocal & hostile during the game...so sorry.

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 8:34 pm

Hard luck COTC and Firthy. You played your part well. Hope we didn't ruin your Rioja COTC

I'm working Friday & Saturday night (6-6)

Would much prefer same time Thursday or Sunday if Buxton is available.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 8:43 pm

I'll know best after tomorrow, if that's OK Ralphy?

But yes. Sunday could be favourite. But will know for sure tomorrow evening.

Looking like Sunday evening. Time to be determined within the next day or two.

Anyone with connections to Athletic.co.uk for Worldwide coverage ?

true, I didn't know where they were in the 1/4's, and my guesses this evening were similarly atrocious.
I blame the desert sand blowing in my eyes.
