Gringo

The NPL update was done last night on the Desktop without any issues. Posted on first attempt instead of the usual six+. I then went on to look at something else and it failed. Big improvement though.

I am grateful that my title challengers are dropping points. I've dropped points recently when I changed by usual HT score [0-0] v Cowden and yesterday by favouring Wotherspoon over Billy. Festive bonus points coming up so we'll see what happens.

NPL Review for Game 19 First [league] defeat for the big man. Shame we couldn’t hold on to the three points. I’d have taken a draw at k.o but not now after winning. No maximums in the Correct score section. old caley girl got the only correct FT score. bughtmaster and Robert got max points in the First Scorer section. Jodie Carnie got the Crowd Section bonus - 11 under. Gringo tops the table by a single point.

Mrs Gringo East Fife v The Spartans draw @3.40 Gringo Elgin v Clyde draw @3.40 Raith Rovers @2.15 [Decided the big man needs a little help with this game]

Fair point Mr Mantis. I've not had any issues lately on the Desktop. Having said that I've not really tried to update anything NPL wise. Might give it a go this weekend and see what happens.

Without dragging this off topic it's pretty much the same story in many industries these days. The Railways are a prime example.

I'm sure we'll brush them aside [see what I did there]....just like we did with Cowden.

NPL Review for Game 18 That sounded like an almighty struggle against the minnows. At least we managed it in the end. Phew! No maximums in any section for this game. Ictross got the only correct score in the Correct score section. [FT] caleycalum got the Crowd Section bonus - 5 under. Gringo, Mrs Gringo and old caley girl are tied at the top of the table.

AS you say...never in doubt.

Going for it then.

We did go North on the A83 from Kintyre but only as far as Invararay and taking a left along the A819.

Big Duncs ICT record in cup comps isn't very good.....just saying like I'm sure we'll be fiiiiine..

Thanks again. We did go on the Drumbeg road so every chance.

Many thanks. Yes, defo on the ferry. The bridge wasn't even thought of back then I should have recognised Kyleshu having been there a few times since. Doh! Cheers.

Got three more I'm struggling with. Pic 1 might be Gairloch area? As for 2 and 3 I,m struggling.

Go Derek...third time lucky to get them down.

Very worrying times indeed. Lets hope for a miracle from those Highland Councillors. Somehow I can't see it sadly despite all the lobbying.

NPL Review for Game 17 Another battling performance for Big Duncs unbeaten run. Rode our luck I think but...who cares. Great point. No maximums in any section for this game. Joonya got the Crowd Section bonus – 35 over. Gringo has taken over at the top of the table by a single point.

Why do they always sack their good managers? He was doing a great job in my view.

Beginners luck
