I thought two things about Murderball,
1 - that I was using the wrong terminology and
2 - that it's one of the best games !

Not my only mistake here... 🙈

It was a good answer I thought,  limited pool of players to choose from and unlikely to be rustled.. probably who i would've picked for that question

[aaronjennings]

On the plus side, no points to be rustled

[lorcand1990]

I'm not even angry, I have 0 knowledge of horse racing.. or gymnastics

Yeah, my rustling choices would have be Lowry or McIlroy... so I was avoiding them 🙂

It's all about the mind games!

[Jluv]

Well I think it's obvious that sport will not be my specialist subject on Mastermind ☺️

Had to get it out of the way early!

Alright, let's get our rustle on! Can Reds hang on to that 9 point lead, or will the Blues just have more rustle options to choose from?!

Football leagues are the rustle ground for Reds Kol and Blues guiri

Guirienespana - Chelsea (0)
Kol - Liverpool (2)

Guiri fails to grab any points, and kol lengthens the Red lead more

[lorcand1990]

I fear for poor Ken Doherty soon too!

[Jluv]

Whoop whoop Kol!

[nothing]

Red red definitely red liz takes on true Blue neo, both managing to rustle!

Neowise - Shane Lowry (3)
Jp liz v1 - Ken Doherty (6)

To mix metaphors, it's a hole in one for liz, and she adds to the lead, despite neo grabbing a few points
