It's 7.30pm and I assume it's similar in Africa (Somewhere)
The ref has blown and here is your first image of tonight's live game.
You have 5 minutes, starting NOW

No puddings but have a home made plate steak pie from the butchers today if that will do?

An early goal from Firthy. He was clearly more interested in eating his Chippy Tea "warm"
Africlaret responded within minutes and we're all square after the first image.

The big question here is will Firthy hold his nerve? Can Africlaret mount an all out assault in the last five minutes.

That WAS a closely fought game.
Firthy's chips didn't appear to settle too heavily as he took a 4-3 lead into the last five minutes.
Both players failed to deal with the high punt into the box and neither troubled the scorer in the last 5.

Ralph, I have a suggestion for the live games. As someone mentioned previously the player who is ahead after image 2 could just wait for the other player to post first and copy him to guarantee the win. Which is why I posted early image 3.
To get round this without using emails, make it a rule that if a player is ahead after two rounds then he has to post his choice first for image 3.

Thanks. A really good suggestion BUT, if we have 3 matches on at the same time, it could be difficult.
Spot is going out for a new burner phone tomorrow so that players can text their selections in live matches

If you make it a rule, it's up to the players to honour it. You could also add as well as the player ahead posting first that he only has 4 mins on the final image giving the other player a minute to post after.

Good idea. Gets around the text issue too. I'll have a word with Spot
