Well nerds it happened. #thestreak came to an end so as threatened promised I've blown the dust of the free kick spreadsheet, chucked some more numbers in it and hey presto, we have an up to date table. And here it is:

View attachment 1690255

Here's what's changed:
  • Roys have choked like nobody's business! When we left things off they were a thousand points ahead of everyone else, but a win and a draw from their last seven games has seen their lead evaporate;
  • Despite their lowly position on the other ladder, the Swamprats are on a four game winning streak when it comes to free kicks and have the highest percentage of all teams thanks in part to the round 16 MoTR vs Roy where they put the 'roy' in destroyed with a 32-11 trouncing (the 21 kick margin is the highest I think I've seen since I've been doing this - Hate is it the biggest ever?);
  • The rest of the teams have either 6 or 7 wins in a massive logjam. Although the OOFs and Wonders are on the bottom, they could jump to 7th with a big enough win in round 17 and have a game in hand over quite a few sides.
And here's a bit of a squiggly line graph showing how teams have moved up and down the ladder this season:

As for the individual results, here are some spoons:


Long time followers of Bob's Statistics will know that the publican is ineligible to win his own individual awards (as witnessed with the Big Spoon in season 30), which explains the greyed out details above. This means that tigs2010 is leading the Little Spoon by one kick from the centenarian Kelvinator omgfridge. Equal third place is shared by Cubs2Lions GWS Goose and two-time former winner Millky95 who are all a kick further back.

ClarkeM has managed to retain the lead in the Big Spoon, a testament to his longevity. His 30 frees against is two more than second placed Falconista (I'll put my tips in soon), with Bomber rookie from Beaumaris sunny3193 third on 27 frees conceded. Two behind the boy from Beauy (or Black Rock, idk) is veteran Dragon Ljp86 proving that brown paper bags don't work for qumpires, while the plasticine duo of beez & Brick Loosener round out the top 5.

If you don't want to see this stuff anymore then make it so that my Warriors go on another streak, otherwise see you all next week for the penultimate round of free kick results.

GWS Goose you better do some of your best soft-flopping in our next match and I'll ensure to give away some sloppy professional frees. We got some awards to bring back to Gumbania!

    And just like that nerds, we're at the penultimate round of free kick shenanigans! There were only four games in round 17, let's see how they shaped the table...

    1685080030169.png

    The ladder leading Swamprats lost their first free kick count since round 10, with a 12-16 result against the Demons. This, coupled with the Furies beating the Phoenix 15-9 (their 4th win on the trot) means they lose their one game lead yet still remain on top of the ladder. The Furies jump the bye-having Roys into second, while the Royals had a one kick win over the Dragons to rise to fourth, equal on points with the Dees. The other game saw the OOFs thrash the Wonders, which saw the snakes defy the rules of conventional board games and slither four rungs up from the bottom of the ladder. The bottom is now where the Wonders sit.

    So where does that leave us in terms of who can win what? Well, here's the skinny:
    • The Swamprats could win the Silver Whistle for the first time ever (don't think any of their players have anything else to play for this week),
    • The Furies could win win the Silver Whistle for the first time since season 32,
    • Roy could win it for a third time, but that's a bit less likely,
    • The Royals have the bye in round 18 so are stuffed,
    • The Demons could go back to back if they have like 50 more free kicks than the Warriors and the Swamprats/Furies/Roy all lose by heaps,
    • The Wonders, Dragons & Bears could win the wooden spoon if they lose but the OOFs & Gumbies are probably safe.
    Stay tuned to see who takes it out. Excitement guaranteed*!

    *guarantee not guaranteed

    Now for the Spoons...

    1685081344669.png ​

    Some of these cats had the week off last week, so things are a little closer.

    Furies ice box omgfridge has jumped to 51 frees for to lead the Little Spoon, which is two ahead of second placed Cubs2Lions with tigs2010 one back in third on 48 frees. Pugsley (47) and the pairing of GWS Goose & Millky95 (46) round out the top five but have work to do to butter up the qumpires.

    ClarkeM is bloody close to saluting the judges in the Big Spoon after going early with his 31 conceded free kicks. That's a three for free kick lead to Falconista who's in second placed, with Bayside Babylonian sunny3193 a further kick behind in third. Veteran online personalities Ljp86 & spookism round out the top five but are too far back to do much damage.

    Hopefully you can get some sleep between now and when I post the final results, because boy howdy this sh*t is riveting!

    And now, I'm off to the pub. I deserve it.

    bob's stat division 2.JPG

    Heya nerds, how did you sleep this week? Did you lie awake at night in anticipation, waiting for the culmination of one of the most riveting & appealing seasons in recent history? Or did you sleep the sleep the just, already knowing the result or not actually caring about the result?

    Anyhoo, enough about Succession & Ted Lasso. We're here to talk about the final round of free kicks in the home & away season (you know we belong together), so let's get stuck into it and begin with the Silver Whistle.

    As alluded to last week, there were three realistic chances of talking out the season 35 Silver Whistle - the Swamprats who had led for the past two weeks and had not been any lower than fifth all season, the Furies who won in season 32 and were equal on points with the Sin Citizens, and perennial qumpire pets in Roy who have won two Silver Whistles and were half a game off in third place.

    At three quarter time the free kick counts looked like this: the Swamprats were losing to the Bears 9 to 13 and the Furies were losing to the Dragons 7 to 14. But the Roys were leading the Phoenix by 16 kicks to 12! Roy had a 4 kick lead and were in the box seat to claim their third Silver Whistle in seven seasons! Here's how the final quarter panned out. We start at the Underground Stadium...

    4 : 3.02 {rHFF} - Shadow Man looking for a lead.
    4 : 3.09 {rHFF} - Ticky009 has been held out of the contest - the whistle has gone.

    Sin City pull one back to make it 10-13. Nek minnit...

    4 : 3.44 {rHFF} - Ticky009 was taken round the ankles.
    4 : 3.48 {lHBF} - Ticky009 signals for his teammates to present.

    The Swamprat deficit has been halved early in the last. Can they take the lead?

    Meanwhile there's movement at the hippodrome...

    4 : 4.17 {C} - serial_thrilla's kick is close to the boundary. In fact its over the boundary.
    4 : 4.21 {C} - Frederico_WA wants to get on with proceedings.

    The Furies peg one back, now trailing 8-14. At almost the same time in Sin City...

    4 : 4.13 {lHFF} - The ball is now with Matera92.
    4 : 4.19 {lHFF} - The umpires rules a push-out. Ant Bear will get the free.

    It's now 12-13 in favour of the Bears. One more free to the Swamprats and they retake the overall Silver Whistle lead!

    Back to the hippodrome...

    4 : 6.55 {rW} - The ball is now with Ljp86.
    4 : 7 {rW} - But someone has been taken high.
    4 : 7.04 {lW} - Bovo sizes the options in front of him.

    Dragons lead over the Furies now down to 5 with the count 9-14. Still time for the Furies if the qumpires deem it to be so. Now over to the Eyrie for the first time this quarter...

    4 : 9.26 {CHF} - MP_ nearly lost the ability to tie up his shoelaces. Zevon gets done for kicking in danger.

    The Roys' lead is cut to three frees but 10 minutes has almost passed. 15 to go. Hopefully they haven't parked the bus. Back to the hippodrome...

    4 : 12.08 {CHF} - Pickitt breaks free and has found some space.
    4 : 12.13 {CHF} - He's run a long way - penalised.

    Schoolboy error there, surely the Furies have done their dash now? To the Eyrie again...

    4 : 12.37 {rHBF} - There's been a push-out and fitzroybowiedog will lose the ball.
    4 : 12.41 {lHFF} - akkaps looking for a lead.

    Another for the Phoenix! Getting closer now, as we head back to the Underground Stadium...

    4 : 14.25 {rW} - A wild handball - but luckily GremioPower was well placed to clean up.
    4 : 14.31 {rW} - That's a trip surely.
    4 : 14.35 {lW} - The ball is now with Tommycash.

    The Bears restore a two kick lead over the 'Rats. Wait a minute...

    4 : 14.49 {lW} - tigs2010 coathangers Zoops and then remonstrates with a few of his teammates. Calm down son or you'll get booked.

    One of the favourites for the Little Spoon has gone and conceded a free, and Roy's lead is now down to one kick at 15-16! Are we seeing an all-time #chokeydoke here?

    4 : 15 {lW} - JackNah_8 nearly lost the ability to tie up his shoelaces. The Majestic gets done for kicking in danger.

    Phew! Roy respond immediately. Back to the Underground...

    4 : 16.06 {rW} - spookism kicks to gain distance but the umpire calls deliberate.

    Controversial free for the Bears, and their three kick lead from three quarter time is restored.

    4 : 16.14 {lW} - There's been a push-out and Tommycash will lose the ball.
    4 : 16.2 {lW} - Firestarter signals for his teammates to present.

    Or is it? Back to two, now 13-15 to the Bears. Where to next?

    4 : 16.34 {rHFF} - A hand over the shoulder and Toump Ass will get the free.

    The Furies get another one but still trail 10-15 with 8 and a half minutes remaining. We return to the Eyrie with yet another twist...

    4 : 16.37 {rHFF} - Gets a handpass away to RU_.
    4 : 16.4 {rHFF} - Wayward kick goes out of bounds on the full.
    4 : 16.45 {lHBF} - Le Grille sizes the options in front of him.

    Wowee! A shank sees Roy's lead back to a solitary kick! Can they hold on?? Speaking of one kick leads...

    4 : 16.55 {FB} - Nobody's checking JoshWoodenSpoon.
    4 : 16.59 {FB} - In danger.
    4 : 17.03 {FF} - Jewelsbon sizes the options in front of him.

    The Sin Citizens trail by one again!

    As we enter time on in the final quarter, the Roys still have one hand on the Silver Whistle but their palms are sweaty mom's spaghetti as they have a one kick lead and as things stand sit on 38 points. The Swamprats are one kick behind and sit on 36 points at the moment, but one more free would take them to 38 points with a superior percentage to Roy so would take out their first Silver Whistle. The Furies are leading the final quarter 3-1 but still sit 5 kicks behind the Dragons so are probably too far away. And the hippodrome is where we head next...

    4 : 20.15 {CHF} - Gives the ball to PhenomenalV1.
    4 : 20.19 {CHF} - Free kick for a hand over the shoulder.
    4 : 20.23 {CHB} - Nobody's checking James Colorado.

    Another free for the Furies. They couldn't, could they? We return to the Underground Stadium for another free kick. Who gets it? This could be yuge...

    4 : 21.19 {C} - Grav dummy's the handpass and then takes a bounce.
    4 : 21.23 {C} - And that'll be a throw in... Wait... The umpire says its deliberate. I don't believe this.
    4 : 21.27 {lW} - Tommycash takes off.

    JUST BLOODY WOW! Never mind the fact that there's a sly apostrophe in the qooty code, an uber-questionable deliberate call with under four minutes remaining has possibly sunk the Swamprats' chances of tasting the ultimate success.

    So as the clock ticks down towards the final siren, it seems as though the qumpires' pets are are marching towards another inevitab- HOLD THE FORT!

    1685706765140.png

    4 : 24.37 {rHBF} - fitzroybowiedog runs past and takes the handpass.
    4 : 24.41 {rHBF} - Got to be a throw - and that's how the umpire sees it.
    4 : 24.43 {lHFF} - akkaps has it.

    UNFREAKINGBELIEVEABLE!!!!!! Ziggy Stardust has just thrown away the Silver Whistle with 19 seconds left in the season!!!! The free kick count at the Eyrie is now 17 kicks each!! And there's the final siren! Roy finishes on 36 points, the same as the Furies and the Citizens but the latter have the superior percenatge.

    THE SWAMPRATS WON THE PENNANT! THE SWAMPRATS WON THE PENNANT! THE SWAMPRATS WON THE PENNANT! THE SWAMPRATS WON THE PENNANT! THE SWAMPRATS WON THE PENNANT!

    Here's the final ladder:

    1685707395818.png

    Despite finishing the qooty season second last, the Swamprats take out their first Silver Whistle trophy!! Congratulations to philreich jackster83 Grav Kennedy Parker GremioPower ant555 BloodySwan spookism okeydoke7 and the rest of the Citizens for taking out the 17th most prestigious team award in Sweet, here's your novelty trophy.

    1685707659836.png

    The Furies & Roys take out the podium positions, with the Bombers & Warriors half a game behind.

    As for the wooden spoon, the Wonders had a 14-19 loss to the Bombers in round 18 to consign them to being stone motherless, which makes their second placed qooty result all the more meritorious.

    Stick around for the Spoons outcomes...

    Round Eighteen - The Spoons
  • Index
    • bob's stat division 2.JPG

    So it seems economy of words is the zeitgeist of this Friday night, so let's just go to the final results beginning with the Little Spoon for free kicks received.

    1685708824090.png ​

    Aspersions have been cast as to the integrity of the Spoons, so for the last time I will reiterate that the Publican is ineligible for individual awards. Therefore tigs2010 has taken out the Little Spoon for season 35, the third Roy in the past six seasons to take out the miniature novelty trophy after Wosh last season and Robertio in season 30 when he was back at his first club. Tigs finished on 55 frees for, three kicks ahead of Cubs2Lions and four ahead of omgfridge who make up the podium places. In equal fourth are the Bear duo of Electronic_Renaissance and two-time Little Spoon winner Millky95 along with season 32 winner Pugsley, while DragoDelph Zevon and GWS Goose make up the top 10.

    Congrats tigs2010, here's your trophy:

    1685709270100.png


    1685709295517.png ​

    Now let's turn to the final results for the Big Spoon for most frees conceded:

    1685709585964.png ​

    ClarkeM has that dawg in him, and had held off the challengers for quite a few weeks now to take out the Big Spoon for season 35. He's the first Wonder to take out this trophy since Elton Johns Wig wore the blue 'n' yella back in season 29. Dragon veteran Ljp86 came home with a wet sail to finish second on 29 frees against, while the trio of Falconista spookism & sunny3193 tied in third place, a kick behind the comic dinosaur. The top 10 was rounded out by season 32 winner Brick Loosener then HARPSichord Runk Zoops and beez

    Congratulations Clarkey, here's your miniature novelty trophy.
