Week 21 Banter and Tipsters

[bobhall]

i played it sunday with adam 1st game 5k played 6k second game 6k played 7k 3rd game 9k played 3k speaks for it self but tommo i know what your saying i just dont aggree with mill house second and i am probably not the only 1 to say that but maybe only 1 willing to speak up

What was that in? A friendly knockabout? By two players who know the table inside out because it's their home table for League/Interleague? ::)
Sufficient justification to go back up the ladder..............NOT. ;D

[bobhall]

no in our mens singles match

How come you were playing Mens Singles on your Home table?  Totally unfair, I don't agree with that. ;D

[bobhall]

why i dont play usc and neither does adam is tommo having senior moment

Why didn't you pull me up on it four posts ago when I said:

Why are we even discussing the USC ?

And as for the magic Mill House table not being as good as the horrible Hurst, we played it (the Hurst) Sunday and - ok - I got a couple of 4k breaks on it, but it didn't play like a 'normal' table: break was easy, yes, but from then on I had to leave a ball to the right of the left hand fifty and cut it into the 100 each time as it was drifting so much to the right. :o
Not what I'd call a good table, and IMHO the scores are only good because it has such a long bar. :P

[bobhall]

but yet tommo you couldnt manage a 4k break on your home top how dissapointing and well i will look forward putting 10k past you and your team when you play us   ;D ;D ;D might even do it against the break

Rest assured, Bob, the Mill House table will be as good as possible when we play you. I expect it will be 'business as usual' with your mum judging the pace expertly and recording a good performance, whilst you continue to play like a cat on hot bricks with balls flying all over the shop. ;D

[bobhall]

sorry tommo you have to come to my hunting ground the table where i make even the tough people lose and i am on form and intend to stay on form so will see you at hurst and i wish you all the best but please dont cry if you lose   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I won't be crying, because someone has promised to serve up my chosen meal on a silver platter of a fish finger sandwich. ;D

Week 21 - 09/03/2011                        
Brewers Arms      v      Laughing Fish            
Definitely a 'Split' table, will suit Henry who could at long last make his 20k. Home side will be too strong for the rest of 'em, though. 4-1 to Brewers.
Watermill A      v      Plough Plumpton            
The big battle of the 'also rans' ;D ;D Any big scores will be by the home side who will snatch a 3-2 victory.
Greyhound       v      Eight Bells            
Both teams lack consistency so it's 'toss a coin' time.  'Tails' means the Greyhound, so I guess the Bells will not enjoy the table. 4-1 home win.
Plough Lower Beeding      v      St Francis            
The Frannies should be able to cope with a difficult table, memories don't fade that quickly...I reckon they could sneak a 3-2 win here.
Mill House Z      v      Watermill B            
Retribution was served the week following Mill House's previous defeat at Horns Lodge....More of the same, 5-0 to the Zeds.
Woolpack      v      Brewers Bravos            
The talented Bravos will take this 3-2 but scores won't be up to much. :-/
United Services Club      v      Hurst B            
Luck could take a hand here, the USC had none recently when the Zeds visited. I'll say it will go to 2-2 with the usually luckless Darrell winning the decider.
Hurst A      v      Horns Lodge            
The Hurst A are flying on this top at the moment. Another 5-0.

Lets give this another go. Chaos reigned last week and i couldn't post.

Brewers Arms vs Laughing Fish
If the table remains as good as it was then we will see some monstrous scores on the night. If it starts playing up then it will probably end up a "split" table in another sense altogether! 4-1 to the arms either way and Jock to hurl the new quiz machine out of the window at some point in the evening.

Watermill A vs Plough PG
Two strong sides but the Plough are in excellent form at the moment and i will back them to take this one 3-2, Chase and Ron leading the way for the visitors.

Greyhound vs Eight Bells
Very tough one to call but i suspect the Bells will eventually emerge triumphant in a hard fought 3-2 victory, Ros taking a key frame for the visitors.

Plough LB vs St.Francis
The Plough seem to have picked up the pace now and i will back them for a 3-2 victory but TSO will have a good match.

Mill House vs Watermill B
The bees will be the ones to end up stung on the night but i think either TFD or GavinTBL will take one for the visitors before the house romp to a 4-1 win

Woolpack vs Brewers Bravos
I can very much see some of the Bravos having a comedown week here but i will still back us to come away with a 3-2 victory with eiher Nikki or Lynne making sure of the victory.

USC Vs Hurst B
Will agree with Tommo here and say that the visitors will take a narrow 3-2 victory, IanG and Sparky conspicous in their contributions for their teams.

Hurst A vs Horns Lodge
Was going to go with a whitewash but Geoff is proving tough to beat it seems so will back him to win one for the Lodge whilst Hurst take the other 4.

Good luck all

That's not how it works, Bob............ Both tables seemed to perform reasonably well.  The fact that you had one greedy b*gger who's down there practising every night is neither here nor there. ;)

[bobhall]

tommo i dont know what you mean you cant mean me as i play lewes horsham midsussex and worthing




let's keep banter for the Banter thread, eh Bob ?

My point exactly, you're like a car with the engine permanently ticking over. The majority of players in my team only venture out once a week to play. ;D
