Week 8 Banter and Tipsters

Tommo's in first................

Hurst A      v      Watermill A      
A rare defeat for the Watermill on this one, with three 5k scores from the home team.      

Laughing Fish      v      Greyhound            
The Greyhound will at last click into gear with a 3-2 win here.

Plough Plumpton      v      Plough Lower Beeding            
I'll put all my gambling chips on the Plough to win this one!

Eight Bells      v      Mill House Z            
If the Zeds' unbeten run is going to come to an end it will surely be here? Damage limitation 2-3 defeat for us.

St Francis      v      Woolpack            
5-0 to the Saints here as they try to get some points back on to the League table.

Watermill B      v      United Services Club            
The away team to edge this one 3-2.

Brewers Bravos      v      Hurst B            
Some high scores here tonight, but 3-2 result for the away team

Horns Lodge      v      Brewers Arms            
The Arms will seize the opportunity to go top of Div.1 and will win 4-1.

[doug1502]

Now that's just plain unfair, tipping us to win knowing that we always do the reverse of the tipsters!!

You've sussed me, Doug. ;D
My 'cunning plan' to ensure that I work out a winner either way! ;D ;D ;D

[BB Warrior]

Ok, here are my thoughts.....

Hurst A v Watermill A      
Not usually a happy hunting ground for the visiting A Team, so I would normally tip the Hurst and Baby G will certainly win.... but no Bobhall for the Hurst Club means that I will go for a 3-2 away win with Kim, Norm and Chris winning for the visitors with Papa Hall winning the other game for the home side.

Laughing Fish v Greyhound            
A home win for me here, H hitting top score and Andy and Chris both victorious with Trevor hitting big for the visitors.

Plough Plumpton v Plough Lower Beeding            
I agree with Tommo that a Plough win is a certainty.... but I will be brave enough to tip a 4-1 home win with Darren, Jan, Dave & Ron all winning.

Eight Bells v Mill House Z            
The draw will be crucial in this match, but 3 breaks for the visitors should give them the edge so I will tip an away win.  Doug to hit big for the Bells but a rare defeat for Nick, SuperG to regain his winning ways after a rare defeat last week and Barry and Tommo to send the Zeds home smiling.

St Francis v Woolpack            
Hard to see beyond a comfortable home win here, TSO, Matt, Chris & Bob all winning with Malc winning the only game for the visitors.

Watermill B v United Services Club            
The Bees had a great cup result last week while USC seem to have lost their way a bit lately, but I still think the visitors will just win this game with Sparky the only player to score 5k+.

Brewers Bravos v Hurst B            
Adam is on fire at the moment, so think he will hit another big score and Spud is always good for a home win as well..... but I think the visitors will win thanks to King Steve, IanG and Colleen in the other 3 games.

Horns Lodge v Brewers Arms            
The in-form Brewers will prove too strong for the Lodge, wins for Jock, Andy, Derek and Dilly give them a good 4-1 win tonight.

[BB Warrior]

Hmmmm..... I can mark this one already..... ::)

1 point for the Plough side that won...... MINUS 1 point for the Plough side that lost! :P

But, it did make me laugh...... so 1 point just for your cheek in trying it on! ;D ;D ;D

[bobhall]

just so ur all aware im unavailable this week

[specialone]

Thank you

[H]

Go on then, why not...

Hurst A v Watermill A
With no Bobhall, I reckon Hurst will pull off a 3-2 home win.

Laughing Fish v Greyhound
We seem to be on form at the moment, and if I can get the temporary firewood playing reasonably I'll go for a score - 3-2 home win.

Plough Plumpton v Plough Lower Beeding
4-1 home win

Eight Bells v Mill House Z
Tough call. Eight bells table is nice, but can catch you out. 3-2 away win here.

St Francis v Woolpack
I'd go with a 4-1 home win here

Watermill B v United Services Club
Well they had a lot of bad luck on the watermill table in the cup, so USC deserve some better luck here this week. A well battled 3-2 away win here I think.

Brewers Bravos v Hurst B
Bravo seems to be on consistently high scoring form at the moment, so I reckon a big hit for him and a 3-2 home win.

Horns Lodge v Brewers Arms
With their new strong side, I would say a 4-1 away win is on here if the lodge play a similar team to last week. If a certain Mr Farrow is around, ill go for 3-2 away win.

[spudgun]

Lets dust off the crystal ball and try and give Mystic Bob a run for his money.

Hurst A vs Watermill A
Two strong teams, one decent table, so i will predict all but one of the winning scores to be 5k plus and, when the dust has settled, the away team to walk away 3-2 winners.

Laughing Fish vs Greyhound
The hound to prove mightier than the fish. Another close one so 3-2 again, Trevor scoring well, father joining son in the winners enclosure for the home side.

The two Ploughs match.
The home side to win this one 4-1 with two 5k plus winning scores.

Eight Bells Vs Millhouse
Very tough one to call with good firepower on both sides. I believe this will come down to a decider with the Mill House to scrape it. Both skips will play a good captains innings.

St. Francis Vs Woolpack
Think this is a tough trip for the Woolies. 4-1 to the home side, spesh1 getting a decent score.

Watermill B Vs USC
Homers on the up at the moment, whilst the visitors are in a bit of a slump at the mo. Reckon that slide will halted on the night with a 3-2 win for the USC, Sparky to hit some good form.

Brewers Bravos vs Hurst B
After pulling all my teeth out i might drool the words 3-2 away win. Matchups key in this one.

Horns Lodge vs. Brewers Arms
Fancy our Brewers stablemates to do the business tonight with a good 4-1 win

Definitely just the size 12's..... I can lend you a couple of pairs of socks to enable you to fill your boots if you want Bobhall? ;D ;D

[BB Warrior]

Let's see how Tommo did.....?

Nov 11, 2010 10:06:37 GMT tommo III said:

Tommo's in first................

Hurst A 2 Watermill A 3
A rare defeat for the Watermill on this one, with three 5k scores from the home team.  
The visiting A Team took advantage of Bobhalls absence so no points for the result...... but 5k scores for Baby Guinness and Papa Hall give you a couple of bonus points. ;)  

Laughing Fish 3 Greyhound 2
The Greyhound will at last click into gear with a 3-2 win here.
The 'hounds seem to have chosen reverse gear lately..... no points I'm afraid. ::)

Plough Plumpton 4 Plough Lower Beeding 1
I'll put all my gambling chips on the Plough to win this one!
1 point awarded..... just for your cheek! :P ;D

Eight Bells 1 Mill House Z 4
If the Zeds' unbeten run is going to come to an end it will surely be here? Damage limitation 2-3 defeat for us.
More faith in yourself and your team mates is obviously required...... no points here.

St Francis 4 Woolpack  1
5-0 to the Saints here as they try to get some points back on to the League table.
0.5 for predicting the home win.

Watermill B 4 United Services Club 1
The away team to edge this one 3-2.
No points here. :'(

Brewers Bravos 2 Hurst B 3
Some high scores here tonight, but 3-2 result for the away team
1 point for the result, I believe that Steve King hit 8k and Spud 5k so a bonus point for predicting some high scores. ;)

Horns Lodge 1 Brewers Arms 4
The Arms will seize the opportunity to go top of Div.1 and will win 4-1.
Correct result for a point..... with the Arms now just 0.5 points behind their Brewers stablemates. ;)

Points this week..... 4.5

A great result for Tommo's team this week, but not so good on the Tipsters! :'(

[BB Warrior]

Now me..... :-/

1 point for the correct result..... plus bonuses for Baby G, Papa Hall and Chris all winning giving me 4 points in all! ;)

Laughing Fish 3 Greyhound 2
A home win for me here, H hitting top score and Andy and Chris both victorious with Trevor hitting big for the visitors.
Correct result for 1 point..... plus bonus points for H & Trevor

Plough Plumpton 4 Plough Lower Beeding 1
I agree with Tommo that a Plough win is a certainty.... but I will be brave enough to tip a 4-1 home win with Darren, Jan, Dave & Ron all winning.
Spot on with the result..... plus 3 bonus points for wins by Jan, Dave & Ron. ;D

Eight Bells 1 Mill House Z 4
The draw will be crucial in this match, but 3 breaks for the visitors should give them the edge so I will tip an away win.  Doug to hit big for the Bells but a rare defeat for Nick, SuperG to regain his winning ways after a rare defeat last week and Barry and Tommo to send the Zeds home smiling.
The Zeds certainly smiling after this result..... 1 point for predicting the away win, Barry and Tommo both won for 2 bonus points, Doug hit 5k (but still lost! :o) which must be worth 0.5 and Nick reversed by prediction by beating SuperG..... 3.5 points in total. ;D

St Francis 4 Woolpack 1
Hard to see beyond a comfortable home win here, TSO, Matt, Chris & Bob all winning with Malc winning the only game for the visitors.
1 point for the correct result, plus 3 bonus points for wins by TSO, Matt & Chris.

Watermill B 4 United Services Club 1
The Bees had a great cup result last week while USC seem to have lost their way a bit lately, but I still think the visitors will just win this game with Sparky the only player to score 5k+.
Recent form for both teams continued so no points for the result..... Sparky won and hit top score (4k) of the night so will be generous and give myself and 0.5 bonus point! ;D

Brewers Bravos 2 Hurst B 3
Adam is on fire at the moment, so think he will hit another big score and Spud is always good for a home win as well..... but I think the visitors will win thanks to King Steve, IanG and Colleen in the other 3 games.
1 point for the correct result..... a rare defeat for Adam, but wins for Spud, King Steve and Colleen :-* give me 3 bonus points here as well. ;D

Horns Lodge 1 Brewers Arms 4
The in-form Brewers will prove too strong for the Lodge, wins for Jock, Andy, Derek and Dilly give them a good 4-1 win tonight.
1 point for the correct result..... and wins for Jock, Derek & Dilly give me 3 bonus points as well. ;D

Points so far....27.0 ;D

[BB Warrior]

'H'ow did H get on...... ;D

Nov 15, 2010 17:44:04 GMT H said:

Go on then, why not...

Hurst A 2 Watermill A 3
With no Bobhall, I reckon Hurst will pull off a 3-2 home win.
Maybe with Bobhall playing the result would have been different...... like 1-4 instead! ;D  No points here for the result, but a consolation bonus for the earlier banter with Bobhall. ;D

Laughing Fish 3 Greyhound 2
We seem to be on form at the moment, and if I can get the temporary firewood playing reasonably I'll go for a score - 3-2 home win.
Correct result for a point...... plus a bonus for 5k+ on a "lovely" table...! ;D

Plough Plumpton 4 Plough Lower Beeding 1
4-1 home win
Absolutely right for a point. ;)

Eight Bells 1 Mill House Z 4
Tough call. Eight bells table is nice, but can catch you out. 3-2 away win here.
For once, the Tipsters seem to be getting it right...... 0.5 points for the away win. ;)

St Francis 4 Woolpack 1
I'd go with a 4-1 home win here
Correct for a good point.

Watermill B 4 United Services Club 1
Well they had a lot of bad luck on the watermill table in the cup, so USC deserve some better luck here this week. A well battled 3-2 away win here I think.
No luck here I'm afraid.... :-/

Brewers Bravos 2 Hurst B 3
Bravo seems to be on consistently high scoring form at the moment, so I reckon a big hit for him and a 3-2 home win.
A rare defeat for Adam and the away team won..... no points here I'm afraid. :'(

Horns Lodge 1 Brewers Arms 4
With their new strong side, I would say a 4-1 away win is on here if the lodge play a similar team to last week. If a certain Mr Farrow is around, ill go for 3-2 away win.
Correct result for 1 point, but Kevin Stephens was the only Lodge winner so no bonus points.

Points so far.....6.5

[BB Warrior]

Let's see how Spud got on.... :D

A good start with 1 point for the correct result..... two 5k+ scores from the home team earn you 2 bonus points. ;D

Laughing Fish 3 Greyhound 2
The hound to prove mightier than the fish.  Another close one so 3-2 again, Trevor scoring well, father joining son in the winners enclosure for the home side.
The dogs must have been swimming upstream... ::) .... no points for the result but 2 bonus points for wins by "son" and Trevor. ;)

The two Ploughs match.
The home side to win this one 4-1 with two 5k plus winning scores.
Correct result for 1 point, plus 2 bonus points with DaveK and Jan both hitting 5k for the home side. ;D

Eight Bells 1 Millhouse 4
Very tough one to call with good firepower on both sides.  I believe this will come down to a decider with the Mill House to scrape it.  Both skips will play a good captains innings.
0.5 points for the away win.... with Tommo earning you a bonus point for his win in a captains match with Ros. 8-)

St. Francis 4 Woolpack 1
Think this is a tough trip for the Woolies. 4-1 to the home side, spesh1 getting a decent score.
Correct result for 1 point, plus a Spesh bonus as he top scored. ;)

Watermill B 4 USC 1
Homers on the up at the moment, whilst the visitors are in a bit of a slump at the mo.  Reckon that slide will halted on the night with a 3-2 win for the USC, Sparky to hit some good form.
Current form continued so no points for the result..... but a Sparky win and top score gets you a bonus point.

Brewers Bravos 2 Hurst B 3
After pulling all my teeth out i might drool the words 3-2 away win.  Matchups key in this one.
Drool away..... 1 point for the correct result. ;D

Horns Lodge 1 Brewers Arms 4

Correctly fancied for a good point. ;D

Points so far....14.0

Finally, our leader Bobhall.... 8-)

Not a good start for our leader..... no points for the result.  Ok, lets try to sort out the bonus points... ::) .....Norm lost (1 point), Jim didn't play (0 points), Mama & Papa Hall both won (2 points), Pete Edwards lost (0 points), Jenny lost (but not closely, 0.5 points) and Kim lost (0 points) so I think that adds up to 3.5 points in total. :-/

unfortunatly if ros sticks to what she has always said and nick is dropped a 4-1 away win if he is playing 3-2 away win with super g tommo alan and 007 firing home doug hits 10k tonight and ros hits 3 but loses  
Dropping the lowest scoring player has always been a "selective policy" here...... Nick returned to be the only winner and highest scorer.  1 point for the correct result, Tommo, Alan and Mick earn you 3 points for their wins and Ros gives you another for her defeat with 2.8k.  5 points in total. :o 8-)

St Francis 4 Woolpack 1
st francis need a bounce back after cup defeat and 3-0 spanking at the weekend so a 5-0 win tonight with chris shaun and matt winin comfortably tonight lyne top scorer for wooly

Points so far.... 28.0

[bobhall]

shame that ros didnt keep to her word that is dissapointing but we new lady ros wouldnt keep to her word

If you mean by playing or not playing Nick Brown, Bob, we saw that as pre-match banter. ;)
Besides, our team would feel insulted if another team didn't pick their best team against us. :-/

[bobhall]

but u should never state you will drop your lowest scorer if you go back on your word

p.s maybe you can move this to banter thread tommo





- done.   -tommo
