Ian, thal end up wi dusty bin.

Could be more if Ben Reynolds plays.I liked Ted Rogers.

Josh woods could be back for this weeks game. Where would you play Brierley if Reynolds goes into the halves?

Ont’ wing. Marsh to sit.

Yeah could be right VL, or even at Centre, of just tell him to roam the pitch.

A fast ball out to Sau with RB at full tilt on the outside or cutting back inside should bring points from any field position, especially with an option to drop off to McNally also, with the other backing up.

BBQ? Two matches in Gary Cooper League also on the Sabbath (Devils vs Giants & Wildcats vs HFC). Total number of points from the hoof (conversions, penalties, DGs) in the SEVEN Sunday games in the top two echelons, please ladies. 100

De nada, EVVO, the rules state that edits will be allowed up until the first KO. Your BBQ punt will be 104. It's in the spreadsheet as of two minutes ago.

Bongser, will it be a Woollen,Corduroy,Suede,Cloth or Leather headgear you consume?And will it be Boiled, Sautéed,Poached,or maybe Stir Fried.

[uROUND TWENTY-FOUR ROUND UP (PART THE FIRST):[/u

All in wrestling, welcome to all. Zools got the first texted prompt of the new era. VL made it after a week of seemingly sitting on the beaches, looking at the peaches.

Bongser wonders whether a certain mooted, North American start-up would play under the city’s name with a high-tackling soubriquet: “The Boston Stranglers”. Furthermore would their home kit be Gold ‘n’ Brown hooped shirts?

The first match of the weekend saw The Tools beat Widnes. This WPL was cleft in the twain. No correct margins but five points each to EVVO, Chazzer, Juanners, Vanners & Bongser.

Full house on a Trannies win at home to York. No correct margins, five to everyone. The margin of 50 at Lamport is of little import. What will be giving Bongser a restless night is that the parvenus racked up 56 points.

Bongser:

a) Made a wreckless boast on The Bulls’ forum


b) Followed it up with an even more wreckless pledge




c) Is more a man of his word than is HRJ
d) Is crapping himself before he becomes lanolin-bound
e) Needs Leigh to score at least 57 points TODAY!

A great big thank-you to all the lads for taking their collective foot off the gas in the last 50 minutes today!! Oh dearie Bongser!

Good luck with your “tea cosy” challenge Bongster
Will you be having fries with it.

Thanks for that pat on the head

, Pingu. As it happens Bongser has not been in the FC since his student days though he imagines that The Arzoo curry emporium (wherein, on the production of an NUS card, one could buy a “Chapati Butty” (four chunks of curried chicken in raita wrapped in flat bread) for just 50p!) has long gone. Late & lamented, alas.



As it happens, Charles (good evening how are you?), Bongser was not feeling confident as Fev were already racking up the points – though he was starting to relax a little it must be admitted.

He is not looking forward to the charity event but imagines that it will be less of an ordeal than playing 50 minutes of rufty-tufty RL with a ruptured testicle. Tea cosies off to Jack Hughes – that took some balls, errrrmm!

Bongser’s predictions are woeful (as pointed out), but he predicts that The Centurions will not meet The Bulls again this season and that we will meet again next season. We’ll have the jolly then. Bongser has (upon the advice of a Mancunian barmaid) suddenly become a Vegan (were the Vegan’s in Star Trek?) so “B&B Bongser can’t have any wool”. He has been researching materials that, whilst still unpalatable, will not kill him if ingested.

Meatloaf once sang the mysterious lyrics, “I would do anything for love but I won’t do that!”

Bongser would do anything for charity but he wouldn’t put the second eff in snuf it!

Favourite charity? Christies Hospital, Manchester (bought five more Christmases for my Dad (first person on serious stuff) when, three months before the first one of those he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and told that he probably wouldn’t see that one).

However, Bongser has chosen a charity that both clubs might relate to – Rosey McNally’s “Two Hips, One Knee” appeal. Chalmers was very compassionate in releasing Greg from his contract, but Rosey’s problem is a helluva stinker for a young couple (with kids) to face. Whatsoever club Greg is playing for, he always leaves it all on the midden.

PLEASE watch a space when the time arrives.

Well Bongser , I salute you ,myself I’m well, for a change it seems things are going good , last year was very difficult for Mrs Caroli and myself but things have improved greatly.
On to the Rugby, at 40 - 0 after 20 minutes I expected a landslide but was disappointed,I never take owt for granted but would never expect you to put your good self in harms way.All a bit of banteranyway good to see you are fine, onwards to Sunday a win by the smallest of margins will do me . Let the games begin as Jigsaw used to say.Lead on.

[uROLL UP! ROUND TWENTY-FOUR ROUND UP PART THE SECOND:[/u



EVVO’s own highlighting btw. Yup, EVVO, before the first relevant game, so perfectly acceptable as per the rules on Page 61 of this thread. It would seem that you were not the only one to misread the BBQ (Charlie you used the term BBQ on The Bulls’ forum last week – on there it is merely termed “Bonus”). Pretty sure Atomic & Budge were also mis-readers, the former (as there were no DGs in the featured games) would have been closest by doubling his punt. Sorry A, can’t help.

Let’s do the BBQ first. 110 by Bongser's wreckoning (may as well point out my own spelling mistake last week). The self-correcting EVVO closest, just six out (25 points) and just edging out Chayders who was a mere seven away (18 points). Controversy for the last podium place. This outcome is not catered for in the aforementioned rules (lax of B&B). Zools & Bongser were each ten out but in opposite directions – 15 apiece (Rule P applies).

Let’s not faff about, EVVO played an all round blinder. Pokemon (matched by Juanderer – great 0-0 draw for Bolton’s N N N Nineteen year olds this weekend btw), one correct margin (also matched by the same shark - that incidentally notched fifth spot in the BBQ – a winning performance most weeks but not this).

Congrats, EVVO, throwing in your 25 point WWB, your score this week is 195j.

Four canal bhajis (see what Bongser did there?)

Bongser hates Wiggin but will give them their due, they nearly always seem to come good towards the business end of the season (and this round they did win by the correct margin for Bongser on the Wire WPL). Don’t hate Wanderer but he’s doing a Pah!!

Time capsules are ticking – Ccup final soon and Leigh just a couple of home games to go. A lot could change.

Puntables out tomorrow (Saturday start).

Ok, less of this holding back. Hold on to your candle sticks, it’s time to go full Brasso here in Canada. Mrs VL has a soft lint free cloth at the ready. Wanderer here I come !
Oooerr missus.

Sorry Bongser, but I wish to make an objection As regards BBQ. Your calculation of 110 points for last week appears to be slightly adrift. Now I don’t like to brag , but I do have an A level in Maths with Stats (grade E), and by my calculations the total points in those matches for goals was 112- i.e Salford 20, Wakefield 10, Barrow 20, Batley 6, Featherstone 22, Halifax 14, Rochdale 20. Added together that makes 112 and my self closest by 5. This is absolutely vital for the race for the coveted 7tg place!!!

No need to apologise, Chayders, you are quite correct (apart from the bit where you said "Now I don't like to brag...." Still recall you doing so on The Bulls forum before our match at Odsal earlier this season). However, Bongser can't argue with a Grade E A Level in Maths with Stats - his own Grade E was in A Level Maths with Mechanics



His, this time deliberate, mis-spelling of reckless really was a wreck!!

So you gain 7 pts, taken from EVVO (sorry mate - but he is correct), Zools becomes joint second (on the BBQ) with said EVVO, Wanderer extends his lead by 2 pts (sorry Vanners - might take another few rubs of your candlestick) and Bongser loses five. Thine host will edit these into the above.





Hope this correction helps with the battle for "7tg" place. Btw, what grade did you get in typing?
