Thank the good lord I was reminded I had ****ed up my adding up so cheers Jasper64

40 points for Dingle Dangle must be a new weekly record?

I was going thru it thinking he might have gotten some kind of clean sheet.

If he'd have guessed another one correctly, Id have been tempted to call the adjudicators in!

I have had a few high scorers (can't remember the particular folk) on my multipoint scoring counts but not a 40 point haul ...

That will boost Dingle Dangle up the table for sure.

Boooom! Shame the Clarets couldn't bag 3 points tonight, but very happy with that 40 point haul from the zingfest guessfest. Quite a few good points won there.

Well done everyone, thank you and goodnight!

Last year when I won the count there was a certain poster accusing me of cheating, although how you can cheat on a random count I have no idea...

Congratulations to all our 12 points scorers. The points have been fairly evenly distributed resulting in little change in positions.

10 points puts Dawlishclaret on a grand total of 235 points but 20 points puts BigF now on 201 in second, closing the gap slightly. Congratulations BigF on being the second counter(after Dawlish) to break the 200 point barrier.
10 points puts Zooniverser on 181 still in 3rd.
15 points puts Longsider on 178 still in 4th.
10 points puts Jasper64 on 170 still in 5th.
A massive 40 points propels DingleDangle into 6th place now on 165 points.
10 points puts jdrobbo on 156 points but drops a place to 7th. CroydonClaret also drops a place to 8th despite scoring 15 points, now on 155.
Yours truly scores 20 points to move to 133 but remaining in 10th place.
10 points puts Les latcham fan club on 115 remaining in 11th.
Bosscat scores 10 points and moves up a place now on 72 points in 16th.
mdd2 scores 15 points to move up to joint 20th now on 20 points in total.
Thanks for a terrific count tarky enabling lots of counters to score, unfortunately the scoring didn't transfer to the football game. Those big bullies in black and white kicking sand in our faces spoiled the day, not fair play I say.
3 points for counting puts tarkys_ears on 107 points still in 12th place.
Up the Mighty Clarets, come what may.

Lots of points distributed there but none my way I’ve slipped further down the scoreboard recently….glad to say the boys on the pitch have done better
Looking forward to what Friday night brings….
