Things are getting hot in the free kick kitchen nerds, let's see what's on the menu.



The Old Boys won their fourth free kick count in a row thanks to a 27-20 win over the Wonders to retain their Silver Whistle lead. The Royals and Gumbies are half a game behind the OOFs after beating the Hawks (11-8) & Demons (18-17) respectively. The biggest upset of the round was the stone motherless Warriors knocking off the second placed Roys 13-10, which saw the gorillas drop two spots and the Wazzas rise one place. In other results the Bombers & Swamprats drew 13 all while the Furies beat the Dragons 17-15.

​

cats_09 (29 frees for) received seven free kicks in round seven to come from the pack and overtake previous leader moginie (28) in the Little Spoon, who failed to impress the qumpires. They are some distance ahead of third placed Braklet (22) who also gained seven frees in round seven, who is two kick ahead of a chasing pack consisting of ClarkeM Drizzy PhenomenalV1 philreich & Shueygod.

​

Former Big Spoon winner Brick Loosener unleased his inner flog in round seven, conceding five free kicks to join omgfridge in the lead on 15 frees against. jackster83 is a kick behind in third, while the trio of FreoGirl p4p1 & Scythe94 are two kicks further back in a tie for fifth.

Enjoy the week nerds, may it be full of numbers.

Woohoo - can't take a mark, but learnt to duck like the best of them

Hey nerds, ya boy's running a bit late again so you're getting a double dose of free kick stats. Saddle up hombres.



The Old Boys won their fifth free kick count in a row courtesy of a 15-9 victory over the Dragons to retain their Silver Whistle lead. The Royals lost 15-23 against the Swmprats to drop from second to fifth, replaced by the Gumbies who beat the Wonders 13-10 and the Roys who beat the Furies 16-14. The Warriors toppled the Bombers 19-16 to climb back to the middle of the table and the Hawks won their second count of the season by beating the Bears 19-15.

​

cats_09 received four frees to extend their Little Spoon lead to five from the bye having moginie along with philreich, who picked up eight free kicks in round eight. They are three frees ahead of PhenomenalV1 who got five frees to sit on 25, one ahead of two-time Little Spooner Millky95.

​

Meanwhile in Big Spoon town jackster83 joined omgfridge & Brick Loosener on top of the standings, all of whom are on 16 conceded frees. Rounding out the top five are ant555 & Giant YoYo who are three frees against further back.

Stand by for the second leg of the Daily Double...

The Free Kick Table will return... right now!



Some unexpected results in round nine. The all conquering OOFs were... well, conquered by the all-time leader Roys 18-26 to see the Monkey Men join the Old Boys atop the ladder. The Hawks won their second free kick count in a row 26-18 over the Demons. Sin City thrashed the Bears 11-4 (hey Hate what's the least number of free kicks a team has ever received in a qooty match?) to jump back to third, the Wonders beat the Dragons 16-15, the Royals toppled the Warriors 15-13 and the Bombers continued their run with a 16-13 win over the Furies.

​

Thanks to his team having the bye, cats_09 unsurprisingly got a doughnut which allowed moginie to cut the Little Spoon lead to a single kick. PhenomenalV1 was the big mover in round nine, getting seven frees to join moginie on 32 for the season, while philreich (31) & Drizzy (27) round out the top five.

​

omgfridge also took advantage of the Gumbies' bye, with his one conceded free enough to take sole ownership of the Big Spoon lead. FreoGirl copped four frees against to join Brick Loosener and jackster83 in second place, while Giant YoYo & Scythe94 are a further kick back in joint fifth place.

Seeya next time nerds!

Hey nerds, while I wait for philreich to finish posting the match I'm in let me give you another round of free kick stats.



The top eight positions on the free kick ladder remain unchanged this week, but it was a weird old week as only one of the top five teams won. It was the Old Boys returned to winning ways in round ten, beating the Bombers 19-16, and they open a four point gap on the Roys who lost 12-15 to the Wonders. The third placed Swamprats also lost 17-18 to the Demons, the fourth placed Gumbies also lost by 14 kicks to 19 against the Dragons and the fifth placed Royals lost to the sixth placed Furies 14-18. Finally the Las Vegans (Spanish for 'the vegans') beat the Warriors 18-15.

​

cats_09 retains a one kick lead in the Little Spoon after picking up 6 free kicks in round 10, but there's been a change in second place as the aforementioned match posting philreich has rocketed into second place after gaining seven frees for. Former leader moginie could only quaff three frees for to sit in third place on 35, one ahead of former winner Millky95 while PhenomenalV1 (32) rounds out the top five.

​

In a tight Big Spoon race, former winner Brick Loosener and rookie FreoGirl both conceded two frees to share a one kick lead from ant555 jackster83 and former leader omgfridge who needs to get his blood all angried up again if he stands a chance to fulfilling early potential.

There you go nerds, round ten done and dusted in a half of qooty match posting. Until next week, or the week after idk.

Midweek free kick stats is it? Well trade week is boring as batshit and my qooty team has a bye so dig in nerds...



Another week another Old Boys free kick win, this week's victims being the Royals 16-12. The Roys remain in second place after beating the Dragons 17-15. A second consecutive four kick win (19-15 over the Bears) see the Furies rise to third, equal on points with the Wonders who beat the Bombers 18-15. Elsewhere the Hawks beat the Gumbies 23-21 in a highly officiated match and the Warriors broke a two game losing streak by beating the Demons 15-12.

​

Little Spoon leader cats_09 took advantage of both generous qumpiring and his nearest opponent having a bye. Seven frees for saw the Gumby extend his lead over philreich to eight kicks, with former leader moginie joining the Sinner in equal second place. Millky95 is a kick behind the duo, with Shueygod back in the top five after a few weeks away.

​

Dragon and Sandgroper icon Ljp86 has come from nowhere to take the lead in the Big Spoon. His 19 frees against is one clear of a chasing pack of four - Brick Loosener FreoGirl Mrs Turbo and omgfridge - in what is shaping as a finish so close that the leading contenders' noses are touching.

Well that's it nerds. Enjoy your week, or don't I'm not your father.

Hello nerds, you thought I forgot to do last round's update just because I had the bye huh? Well you'd be right, but here I am now spitting hot stats. Please consider...



At this stage it looks like the Old Boys by how much, as the OOFs notched their third win in a row (and eighth in their past nine) by beating the Sin Citizens 15-13. They have now opened up an eight point gap from the Roys, who suffered a massive 6-16 loss to the Bears while the Wonders joined them on 28 points with their fourth win on the trot, a 9-8 victory over the Hawks. The Royals rose to fourth after defeating the Gumbies 17-8, the Bombers beat the Demons 10-8 and the Warriors Dragons & Furies all had byes.

​

Despite only getting three frees for in round 12, cats_09 has managed to extend their lead in the Little Spoon to nine kicks from the duo of Millky95 & moginie, while philreich and snozulu are a further kick behind in equal fourth.

​

Old Boy rookie FreoGirl... wait that doesn't sound right.

First year Ophidian FreoGirl took advantage of some byes and some donuts to take the lead in the Big Spoon. Her 20 frees against are one more than jackster83 & Ljp86, while four conceded frees from p4p1 saw them join Brick Loosener Mrs Turbo & omgfridge on 18 kicks each, which sees them in equal fourth place.

Gonna go outside and enjoy the sun now. Wish me luck.

 

[Tonga Bob]

[Pictured - a confused qumpire looking to see where the ball has gone before he's thrown it up] ​

Not me running behind on a thread again. OK let's get into character...



The Old Farts have pretty much sewn up the Silver Whistle after their ninth win in the past ten rounds, this time a 20-16 victory over the reigning winners. That, along with the second-placed Roys suffering a massive 12-23 thumping at the hands of the Delons, sees the Ophidians three games clear atop the ladder. The Furies jumped to second on percentage after downing the Gumbies 14-13, the Wonders dropped to fourth after being pumped 8-16 by the Swamprats, the Royals dropped two spots to sixth after going down 9-15 to the Bears and the Hawks kept the Dragons fixed to the bottom of the ladder by winning their free kick count 15-12.

​

It's the usual suspects in the Little Spoon, with cats_09 still enjoying an eight kick lead after getting four in round 13. moginie (45) sits in second place after receiving five frees for, Roy veteran fitzroybowiedog (42) has entered the chat in third place one ahead of Millky95 & two ahead of Braklet.

​

A lot tighter in the Big Spoon though, and some big news in that co-leader FreoGirl has retired after achieving her goal of leading the frees against count. Punch first and ask questions later, that's my motto. Speaking of me...

​

Your host went the biff in round 13, conceding a heroically-proportioned six (6) free kicks to join the recently-departed FreoGirl atop the Big Spoon count. Giant YoYo remains appropriately named by rising back up to third on 21 frees against, while a bunch of people including jackster83 Ljp86 Mrs Turbo omgfridge and Phar Ace round out the top five, a further kick behind.

Might f*ck around and do round 14 now.

Bob's Free Kick Count will continue... right now!



Well that's one free kick award sorted. The OOFs clinch their first Silver Whistle with their 10th win in their past 11 games after narrowly beating the Hawks 19-18, as the chasing pack keep tripping over each other. The Swamprats are now second after comfortably dispatching the Furies 21-12, the Royals are back in third after having the largest win of the season with a 21-7 shellacking over the shellshocked Bombers, the Warriors returned to winning ways with a 17-14 win over the Gumbies which is the fifth straight loss for the plasticine people and the Demons edged the stone motherless Dragons 13-12.

​

The lead that cats_09 enjoys in the Little Spoon has been reduced by two as moginie picked up five frees for to the Gumby's three. The lead is still six though so the cat still has a few lives left. Braklet also picked up five frees to now sit third on 45 with fitzroybowiedog and philreich three kicks behind in equal fourth.

​

Another two conceded free kicks by your host (me) sees a two kick lead established over ex-OOB FreoGirl and current OOB Mrs Turbo. One kick behind them are Giant YoYo jackster83 Ljp86 omgfridge and p4p1.

And with that I am now up to date and about to enjoy the hospitality of one (1) pub. Arriba!

 

[cats_09]

I've decided to take a week off and give everyone a chance to catch up before extending my FF lead on the home stretch

Don’t be so cocky, you’re a moginie quaff away from surrendering your lead.

OK nerds we're getting to the pointy end of the season. Let's see what hasn't been decided yet...



After pretty much wrapping up the Silver Whistle, the Ophidians lost a free kick count! It was the Wonders that saluted 23-16, which means that they remain a wafer-thin chance of usurping the OOFs if the OOFs lose their two remaining counts and Wonders win their remaining three counts by like a thousand kicks a game. The Swamprats beat the Hawks 20-18 to remain in second however a bye in round 17 puts the kaibosh on any chances they have.

In other games the Warriors beat the Furies 16-12, the Bears beat the Bombers 11-9 and the stone motherless Dragons upset the Roys 16-15 to move within half a game from second-from-last Babylonians.

​

Both cats_09 & moginie had their final byes of the season, which allowed the chasing pack to make some ground in the Little Spoon. Ophidian seppo Braklet prepared for voting by getting five frees for to join moginie in second place, four ahead of fourth placed itinerant Furie Frothies Mcveigh who is a further kick ahead of fitzroybowiedog PhenomenalV1 & Pie 4 Life who round out the top five.

​

Things are tight af in the Big Spoon, as a four frees against effort from Mrs Turbo sees the Ophidian matriarch sit alongside your host (me) on 26 conceded kicks. This comes as no surprise though as she always wants to sit next to me. Former Big Spoon leader omgfridge also gave away four frees to sit one kick behind our power couple, while Giant YoYo FreoGirl & Loonerty are three kicks further back.

Three rounds to go. In the words of Bacon from Lock Stock..., "let's sort the buyers from the spyers, the needy from the greedy, and those who trust me from the ones who don't". Next week will reveal more, so stay tuned nerds.

Round 16 seems so long ag huh? Let's see what the qumpires thought of it...



With the OOFs having the bye in round 16, the Swamprats had the opportunity to bridge the gap at the top and make the Silver Whistle count a bit more interesting. Were they able to manage it? Were they ever! A 19-11 win over the Warriors sees them reduce the deficit to 6 points with both having two games remaining. [EDITOR'S NOTES: the host (me) didn't realise that the Swamprats have a bye in round 17, so are officially out of contention. Haha suck eggs!] The Wonders could technically also take out the Silver Whistle given they're 8 points from the lead, after thumping the Demons 23-10. The Roys and Furies each rose a place by beating the Royals (17-8) & the Hawks (19-16) respectively. Elsewhere the Bombers beat the Gumbies 12-11 while the Bears and Dragons had a 15-all draw, results which see the Drags rise to within 2 points of the second last East Siders.

​

The race for the Little Spoon remains largely unchanged, with four of the top five all getting three frees for. cats_09 still leads on 57 kicks, six ahead of moginie. Braklet was the mover of the top five, getting five frees for to jump to third, a single kick behind moginie. Frothies Mcveigh (49) & fitzroybowiedog (48) round out the top five.

​

The aforementioned bye for the OOFs meant that your host (me) stole a two kick lead over Mrs Turbo, although this may well be a temporary lead given the Warriors have a bye in the next round. omgfridge & Loonerty are in joint third place on 35 frees against, while the consistently inconsistent Giant YoYo is a further kick back in fifth.

Stand by for the round seventeen results...

 

[Tonga Bob]

[Pictyred: a Happy Day for qumpire Arthur Fonzarelli]​

Righto nerds, here's the penultimate round of free kick stats. Hook in...



If it wasn't officially official, it's officially official now. The Old Boys confirmed themselves as the Silver Whistle winners for season 38 by drawing against the Bears 15-all, which was the second draw in a row for the Las Vegans (and third for the season). This draw meant that the Wonders, who were still a mathematical chance of taking the Silver Whistle out, could not catch the OOFs, and that fact that they lost 15-18 against the Royals sealed the deal.

Elsewhere the Furies finished their season with a 16-20 loss against the Demons, the Roys and the Gumbies had the second draw of the round 10-all, and a loss to the Bombers 8-11 meant the Dragons were unable to overtake the bye-having Hawks to get off the bottom of the ladder.

As for the individual accolades, read on...

​

Braklet continues his late-season surge in the Little Spoon by receiving six frees for to jump into second, three kicks behind long-term leader cats_09 who ony received two frees for. So did moginie who is now third, three frees behind the Ophidian. Frothies Mcveigh finishes his campaign on 51 frees for to sit in fourth currently, while Pie 4 Life enters the top five on 50.

​

With the Warriors one of the teams having the bye this round, Mrs Turbo had the chance to sit back alongside your host (me) as the power couple atop the Big Spoon leader board. Alas, she squibbed by being nice and conceding nil free kicks. omgfridge seized the opportunity with both doors and moved alongside her into joint second place. Loonerty (25) retained his position in fourth despite also being bye-bound in round 17, thanks to Giant YoYo also squibbing and going all Krispy Kreme on us.

So one round remains. The Silver Whistle is snaffled, but the wooden spoon is still up for grabs as are both of the other spoons - the Little and the Big. Seeya next week when all will be revealed.
