Will Cadden start? 4. Will Fosu start? 5. Name an Oxford sub who plays 6. Will Dickie or Moore or Mousinho get...

Re: Capital clogs!

Harder than it looks:

0 pts: Hog, AC
1 pt: Boogie, Geoff
2 pts: OA, RR
5 pts: Grandpont Tom

An outstanding performance, Tom. You now need to set the next Boot at least 36 hours before Wednesday's game.

Impish insoles

Answer the following questions. Because it's Christmas, you have 12 points to distribute across them. You get the points you put against any answer that is correct. You must answer and put points against three or four questions. 1. Name an Oxford scorer (may include 'none') 2. Name an Oxford player ...

Re: Table-top tap shoes

Not a high-scoring round: no-one expected The Beast to start, no-one expected Gorrin to be subbed.

2 pts: RR
3 pts: AC, Geoff, Hog, Hoglette, OA

OA got the tie-break exactly right, so I will set the next one...

Re: Shoeing of the Tames

Hmmmm indeed. The BBC website shows 32 fouls (19 by the Shrews), and five yellows (four to Shrews). So if I read correctly: Hoglette and AC fall at the first. ALL remaining riders fall at the third. However, this leaves the same predicament. (at this point, I can see the crowd restless as the VAR re...
