SPOT THE BALL - GAME 1

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Sun Jan 31, 2021 2:27 pm

It starts HERE

With 21 teams in each of the two Leagues, one team from each League, for each round, will have a rest. Call it a Bye if you like

Clansman will be in the Willie Irvine and Bin Ont Turf is in the Ray Pointer

There are 5 images each round and every team will play every other team JUST ONCE. For this reason, and to ensure social distancing, HOME advantage will not count for much.

Game One fixtures

Usual rules apply. Spot is on VAR

You are able to send your selections to ralphcoatescomb@aol.com OR add them to this thread

Entries are OPEN until the final whistle v Man City this Wednesday (3 February)

Am I resting or have I been slung out?

Haha well managed Ralph and Spot.

BoT posts.

"You took my comment about giving it a miss because Buxton was playing as literal then.
I'm taking the ball home, so good luck trying to spot a ball that's not there, even though that's what the game is about."

And guess what, BoT is drawn away to Buxton in the first match

That will be one to watch

What happened to my entry?

Tricky away fixture to start for me.

Gonna try and keep it tight at the back, snatch a late winner.

Your first game is against Buxton. This first game, you are the "spare team".

Thanks Wilks.

Not sure that "bye" is the right word but I know what you mean.

I'll post the first 10 weeks of games then people can get a better idea of the system

“Rest week” then

That’s what the league put down for my u11 team (well they will do once we get back playing again)

Think he’s saying you have the first game off

Your first game will be the 2nd game, against Huw

Wouldn't it just been easier just to have one division with 22 teams Ralph?

Isn't there an age limit for StB?

Under 11 seems a bit young to me...

GAME 1 IMAGES (THERE ARE 5)

They are taken from Burnley 1 Leicester City 0 that occurred 4 years ago today (31 January 2017)

The match is memorable as the game was won by a hotly disputed goal. It was alleged that Sam Vokes had handled the ball before dispatching it into the net. The result propelled us to 9th in the League with 29 points after 23 games.
