StanSP Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Everybody's thrown by Torquay's 5 point margin of relegation This is what I don't get .
General Smuts Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 3+3 = 6. But you don't lose 3 points for not winning? I can't fathom this - I just looked it up and saw they came bottom by 5 points. I knew they came bottom but don't know the story?
The Blur Posted 19 April 2015 Author Posted 19 April 2015 18. Paolo Rossi Facecloth got there first 8. Udinese Tripe beat you to it 18. Rossi and Schillachi Facecloth claimed these two already 24. Everyone's favourite Irish man and commentator, Mr Townsend Facecloth answered that already 19. Bristol Rovers Nope-Bovril got that correct-it was Torquay 20) '74 Smuts got there first I'm doing it on my phone and when I get an answer I forget what question number it is an by the time I've loaded enough pages to find which question I've got the answer to someone else has already put it down Fail to prepare and prepare to fail-should got your computer/laptop out 22. Knocked more League sides out of the Fa Cup Correct
StanSP Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 3+3 = 6. how can it be less than an hour though? If the teams above them won, they would have started on 2 points ahead of Torquay. So Torquay would have been bottom before the start of that day meaning they spend the whole of the final game of the season (90mins) in the drop zone?
General Smuts Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 This sounds right but i'm going to change the word more to most and see if I can sneak a cheeky point. 22. Knocked the most FL sides out the FA Cup as a NL team I DEMAND A RECOUNT

Quite possible that they threw away late leads two games running.
StanSP Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Quite possible that they threw away late leads two games running. But if they did it in the 45th game, they'd still be in the relegation zone?
General Smuts Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Unless at some point during the final game they were out of the relegation zone?
The Blur Posted 19 April 2015 Author Posted 19 April 2015 This sounds right but i'm going to change the word more to most and see if I can sneak a cheeky point. 22. Knocked the most FL sides out the FA Cup as a NL team Nice try but I am sure that was what Tripe was getting at ahahaha. Tnx. 20. 1974. Smuts got there first. 17 Same birthday? Nope but it has been answered correctly by Tripe Surely there's a point there though? Just like you can get a point for getting 3 Scottish teams at once but not the other 2 for that question? Which post was you referring to? 17. they were the first managers sacked in their respective seasons Smuts got there first 11. 4-0 Sweden beat Bulgaria in 1994 Correct
StanSP Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Which post was you referring to? Getting the difference of 4 goals right for Q11. You gave me a point but took it away. But then someone got points for naming Celtic/Rangers/Aberdeen even though they didn't get the other 2 champions for Q23.

But then someone got points for naming Celtic/Rangers/Aberdeen even though they didn't get the other 2 champions for Q23. I did get the other 2 but you snook in and got Dundee United while I was typing. Not taking away from the fact that you deserve a point for 4 goals though. I wouldn't have got the Sweden answer without knowing it was a 4 goal margin. Nice try but I am sure that was what Tripe was getting at ahahaha. Take it to deadlock I say. See what the judges think.

Haha, keep your hat on- you have just won the first ever Foxestalk Trivia Cup Seriously though the Scottish team question- every answer is worth a point therefore Smuts got three points as he has answered 3/5 correctly. As for your ruled out point it was because I realised the question asked for specific score along with the margin. Calculating the table now.
bovril Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 I think it was Bristol Rovers, not Torquay. I still get the point
The Blur Posted 19 April 2015 Author Posted 19 April 2015 The current league table Facecloth acted like a woman scorned this month as he rampaged his way towards 11 points thus increasing the lead though Smuts did put up a valiant fight at the end claiming eight points of his own. Wookie and Bovril enjoyed respectable three points haul this month to keep chugging up the table while Tripe made a last gasp debut with two points. However the real story of this month was the cup final between Stan SP and ScouseFox, Stan raced in a four points lead but ScouseFox put up a brave resistance but he was out-done by Smuts doing a Jar-Jar Blinks or 'Swansea' as ScouseFox sourly put it afterwards by getting in ScouseFox's way and ended his comeback. In the end, it was a mixture of Stan SP's intelligence, lack of preparation on ScouseFox's part using a humble mobile phone and General Smuts doing his best Jar-Jar Blinks impression (Sorry Scousey, I prefer my metaphor) which handed StanSP the first ever Foxestalk Trivia Cup! Final Score ScouseFox 3-5 Stan SP No fancy pants photoshopped trophy for you Stan SP but you can add this to your signature- Foxestalk Trivia Cup Winner 2015! See you next month where I will be revealing a new cup competition- Foxestalk Trivia League Cup! The date will be 10th May.
StanSP Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Cheers to The Blur for running this. Enjoy taking part . I look forward to retaining and holding my title. Duly noted on the signature part!
