MM Links Results February 2012 Week 4
12 Answers
Liverpool 3 Cardiff Nil was the prediction. Not so. 1-1 at full time, 2-2 after extra time. After penalty kick-off result = Liverpool wins 3-2 on penalties. Condolences to Teacher1.
'Baron Brian' (aka beejay1124) challenged you all for the last time this monh with a really difficult set of links.
His chosen pairings were:
COAT HOOK
FLY-HALF
FORECAST
BASS DRUM
All legitimate links but not favoured by many of you.
In fact this was one of the lowest scoring games I have seen with just 11 points scored in total (the minimum is 8)
With several players bunched together at the top of the leaderboard, even those few points could make all the difference.
BASS DRUM was discovered immediately by Roslyn251254 for 2 points. Not matched again until 4pm when X-ray claimed a single for it as well.
A minute into play, Slaney showed her interest in rugby with 2 points for FLY HALF which also only had one other taker, Mrs Albaqwerty, 50 minutes later for 1 point.
Seven minutes past 9 and Elspeth thought she could FORECAST the result for her 2 points with tail-ender Twix123 picking up a single for the same suggestion.
It took over an hour before Sibton got tired of seeing her clothing draped over a chair and went in search of a COAT HOOK - 2 points.
For finding the final link, and being the only player to do so, I therefore declare:
*** THE HOTSHOT ***
*** OF THE WEEK ***
*** IS S*I*B*T*O*N ***
So what about the leader-board?

Yes, those few points DID make a difference to the lead with the top 10 places now looking like this:

invite SLANEY to once again set the links for us.
