I hope the next time I’m late at Turf Moor they delay kick-off ‘till I’m in my seat!

Actually on a serious note I like the way Spot is relaxed and let’s late-comers still get their entry in!

We all slip up and it gives the competition a relaxed and family feel!

Good boy Spot!

Stuck in a Scarborough hotel with the worst Internet connection possible, intact the whole of Scarborough is dire, for the net.

Apparently, you shouldn't say Good Boy or Good Girl to your dog. Well, according to this Twitter-type person that is:

"Stop saying “good boy” and “good girl” to your pets.

This kind of gendered language is normalising the myth of canine sexual dimorphism, and delegitimises the lived experience of transdogs"

WTF?!

Attention seeking weirdo's trying to take over the World. What's Spot think about it?

Jesus 2 points. Hope it's a low scoring week

Results

Tables

The Buxton Juggernaut just keeps on rolling and the highest score of the week goes to BIn Ont Turf and Huw Y Watt

Things are hotting up in the Ralph Coates with Bobinho claiming top spot again.

I beat Goobs (hard luck Goobs!) in a real 6 pointer and now alongside in the league...it’s my 1st time not bottom of league all season!

Sorry, Ralph, Spot and all participants, I've just got back from near Bude, Cornwall, where the internet is even worse, by the sounds of it, than Scarborough and missed the 8pm extension by minutes........

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Mon Jul 20, 2020 8:57 pm

PLEASE check your scores, results and position in the table

Spot's maths aren't as good as the Shadow Home Secretary

huw.Y.WattfromWare · Post by **huw.Y.WattfromWare** » Mon Jul 20, 2020 8:58 pm

The round that I get my best score and Eddie doesn't trap. I’ll take it, I’ll take anything the way it’s been going.
Cheers, Eddie.

I think anyone would have struggled against Huw Y Watt this week

Sorry Ralph are you sure my scores correct.

My guesses were D7, C9, D7.

And yet the answers are C6, D9, E2.

And i somehow got 4 for those guesses, are you certain that's right, or am i misjudging the scoring system.

Thanks

D7 is one square away... 2 points

C9 is one square away... 2 points

D7 is way off... Nil Points

Your score is correct but thanks for checking

My colour chart is wrong, I should have a green in week 1.

Not that I'm bothered

So that everyone is clear on the scoring system, here is a recent Image, showing the scoring zones

Some of you will have noticed that there haven't been any Images where the ball overlaps two squares.

Spot has seen to this and moved the grid accordingly... clever pooch

Dastardly or not, Con, I view a draw against you as two points dropped, not one gained...

Sorted. At least on the master copy!

In the meantime, you could use a dab of green tippex on your screen in the offending area
