“Dock…”
Usually, if you finish behind Mr 2-0 you can rightfully feel a little hard done-by.
You put in all that effort to hone “that winning total” only to find if you hadn’t bothered, you would have saved yourself, oooh, 15 minutes and gained at the same time.
This week, there was mucho consternation about the aforementioned “Mr” as the 2-0 scorelines rolled in over the 6 day International Week.
“How dare he!”, “It’s an outrage!” “It’s not fair!” hollered various Mr Angry’s from Purley, Portrush and, erm, Potsdam.
Well, fear not people, he (alongside his 6 followers) didn’t win, so do not feel hard done-by getting beat by a 38 point haul!
Twenty-six PASers scored more than 30 points this week…
Dave C finally found his mojo and went close, Paul F, who continues to impress, also went close and Ben H nearly did it with only 3 correct scores (imagine!)
But it was all decided by one 90th minute Leandro Trossard goal.
Andy F, like his beloved Toffees, was cruelly robbed of points…and those eight that escaped denied him a hat-trick of weekly £20 prizes (blimey!)
That same goal gifted Justin Corliss 42 (4) the 9 point correct score he needed to take him clear of the chasing pack…
Bravo Mr C, I suggest getting a few Leffes in to celebrate! Hic!
Do you wish you had settled for the default score this week?
10 punters didn’t get a correct score.
Only two scored less than 15 points!
And those two are had-in-hand propping up the rest.
Who?
Bijay Lama & Max Morgan 14 (0)
Go easy on yerselves boys…
Correct Score of the Week:
Scores were there to be had, but not many were got…most popular score was Wales’ 1-1 draw with Turkey – 16 of youse got that!
Fifteen just knew Gibraltar wouldn’t score against the Netherlands for a 0-6
14 got the very annoying last minute spoiling Belgium 5 Azerbaijan 0
Thirteen had Hugary’s 3-1 win over Montenegro
11 grateful for the 3-1 Spanish win over Georgia
Mark S, Simon Linds & Norman L got the 1-3 Spain win in Cyprus
Matthew S got Netherlands 1 Ireland 0
Pete B decided to deploy catenaccio to reap the rewards from Ukraine v Italy. And he did…
Andy F landed on the two-two in Georgia for Scotland.
However, this week’s best correct score goes to Danny Bushell for his there’s-no-14-0-showboating-going-on-here inspired, Greece 2 France 2!
Bet of the Week:
Simon Lindsay was on “Bet of the Week” position 45th in Week 6 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.
And guess what?!
He failed but went pretty close…
“three winners you need so I’ll go (all Sunday games) – Hungary, Bulgaria and Norway.”
yes
no (but 8 mins from landing a 12/1 shot!)
and
no (those pesky Scots!)
So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 45th leaving it on £4.77 – maybe next time…
Martin Stafford is at 33rd this week
Snr Stafford, I need your 3 team treble by Friday morning, please!
I’m expecting great things from you M!
Table News:
Andy Fowler storms to the summit, a big 9 points ahead of Olly O who, in turn, is five points ahead of Gareth M in third.
Three crashed the Top Ten!
Mike Krasnowski stays anchored to the bottom, 7 points off Julian F, who, in turn, is four points adrift of Danny A…
Highest climber this week, up a whopping 28 places is Ben Hogwood – honourable mentions go to Justin C (+27), Dave C (+22), Sam O (+22), Orla McKeown (+22), and Neil M (+20).
