Just a reminder of the 1st Round Draw

Erm... What do we do...???

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 11:01 am

Bit confused myself. How are we supposed to know who the missing player is when we can't see him. Do you just have to make an educated guess ??

Make your educated selections as to where the ball is in each of the SIX images.

It HAS been hidden by ONE of the circles in each image.

The jigsaw is quite difficult. Identify the match, and which player has been removed. The player could be from either team.

And, before anyone kicks off about fairness. This is a level playing field.

I'd like to supply clues but, Spot would bite my @rse !

Lots and lots of variation in selections, but really pleasing that everyone appears to have the correct Match

Forgive my stupidity but does the "bye" mean we already through to next round?

You are in the next round.

There are NO stupid questions by the way, or should that be BYE the way ?!

Apparently it does for everyone except me

Don't worry I'll make Ralph eat his words when I beat Dazzler.

I do hope that "winky" is not meant to impugn the character of Spot or Mrs Benson (the one with the ladder in her tights) who conducted the 1st Round Draw. We did try and rope the milkman in on it but he said his cream was on the turn (whatever that means;) )

I should have waited and not answered first. My choice was Jutkiewicz or Kights. Went with Juke and nearly changed my mind too. Looks like I chose the wrong one by the answers on here.

You never know your luck in a raffle ! Seems Kights is the People's Choice... but what do they know

Just one more to turn up now. DobloStu.

We'll give you til 5pm Doblo, then CnB will go through by default if it's a no-show.

Spot is really excited by some of the scores

Just to give you the Heads Up, Cowick and Leedsdave will have to replay. Details later.

Well that was a little close for comfort.

Thankfully that early nearhit was enough
