Well done to lassy and aaron, nice sheeping there.

the purple tin is getting a collection of spoons recently to rival Mam of 4's :P

Great game Zaph, thank you for running. Nice sheepulating

Trigger

Delighted with the podium finish, bloody First Base!

Congrats to AJ and Lassy great sheeping!

I couldn't in good conscience congratulate anyone that won a SHEEP using google.

Well the whole premise of the game was that I tried to pick a bunch of reasonably obscure or less popular sports that most people wouldn't have known the answers to to level the playing field and not give the sports fans too much of an unfair advantage. So the likelihood is that they would have had to google at least a good few of the answers too and that would open the game up to non-sports fans as well.

YESSSSSSSSS

Cheers for running Zaph.

Only got to read the reveal now and was annoyed with my netball decision as I thought it had cost me.

Good old ski jumping to the rescue.

Congrats to Aaron for the shared victory. I feel guilty as you were top all the way along I think

100%. Mad sports fan but wouldn't have had a clue of the sumo or ski jumping questions without google

I love ski jumping, it's my favourite winter sports event. There's an even madder version called ski flying, where 220m+ jumps are normal and a few guys have gone over 250m. Those guys make the skeleton competitors look sane!

the purple tin

Well done Lassy and Aaron. That's some nice spooning...em...me! I thought I had got clear this time
Nice reveal Zaph, thanks much for the game-first of many I hope.

Not really much point in posting pics of the respective stadiums, they’re pretty unremarkable from the outside and look the same inside, so instead here’s a pic of one of my favourite rikishi (sumo wrestler), the 67th Yokozuna (grand champion), Musashimaru.

Do you get points in sumo for playing with your own nipple?

No, only for playing with the other guy's nipples. It's a risky move though, if he gets your nipples first it's game over.

Haha.

I loved playing netball at school and wing attack was my usual position. I can’t believe more people didn’t go with Nitwit’s rule of picking the middle one.

Goal Shooter
Goal Attack
Wing Attack
Centre
Wing Defence

Happy to finish mid table after a disastrous start.
Could not bring myself to put Leinster (and that was before yesterday ).

Thanks Zaph and congrats to the winners!

FFS, that's twice now I've been a joint-winner, still yet to have a solo victory all to myself :pac:

Congratulations Lassy for the co-victory, and thanks for the great game, Zaph

(didn't Aaron lead a game recently from start right through to last question only to then get robbed at the final whistle?? if so, nice karma to ya!)


(if not, whoops, need to pay more attention to names!!)

I've had a few decent finishes lately, but I don't think that's happened, unless I've forgotten

I was so sure about centre that I almost went back and changed my rugby league answer from full back. Turned out both answers were crap anyway so it didn't really matter

Missed the reveal but great catching up.

Thanks for the game Zaph, real fun theme.

Congrats to Arron and Lassy, great scoring.

I've obviously got you mixed up with someone else - there was a game recently where someone led from the off, and literally on the last question got toppled! You'd remember, believe me!!!

Also, congrats to Lassykk on the joint win, I somehow read the results as a win and two joint seconds

I think you might be thinking of Gru in Necro's AZ Bands, that was definitely a terrible fall from grace at the last :eek:
