Can just apply that comment for this round as well. So evenly matched all the way through, and just nicking it at the end.Adam Gillard wrote: Mon Jul 17, 2017 8:46 pm Wow, that was a thrilling contest! Well done to Innis and team for coming through against strong opponents.

Yep! Just watched it - another nail-biter and some good educated guesses there from Innis and team got you through against a very strong UCL team.Thomas Cappleman wrote: Mon Dec 04, 2017 8:36 pmCan just apply that comment for this round as well.

Edinburgh in front for a whole set of bonuses at the end this time. Positively comfortable by their normal standards.Thomas Cappleman wrote: Mon Dec 04, 2017 8:36 pmCan just apply that comment for this round as well.

Thanks very much to all of you for the kind words about UC - quite possibly the most stressful thing I've ever put myself through (it's even harder than it looks, and I'm all the more in awe now of the teams who can post high scores time after time without breaking a sweat) but also among the most fun. Would kill to do it again.

Congratulations on a great run, and very gracious in defeat against an exceptionally strong performance. As Paxman said, you've shown your strength in the past, just couldn't get in against them on Monday.Innis Carson wrote: Wed Apr 11, 2018 3:36 pm Thanks very much to all of you for the kind words about UC - quite possibly the most stressful thing I've ever put myself through (it's even harder than it looks, and I'm all the more in awe now of the teams who can post high scores time after time without breaking a sweat) but also among the most fun.

And well done personally on your performance as captain, encouraging your team throughout (despite what the Mail claims!)

I had no idea what this was a reference to, so I looked for it. Anyone else can find it too, so I won't help the Mail by linking to the article. Suffice to say that all they've done is taken an ambiguous gesture to a team-mate and cranked out another one of those lazy articles where they combine an innocuous thing on a TV show with a few screenshots of tweets and pad it out to a few hundred words.Thomas Cappleman wrote: Wed Apr 11, 2018 3:54 pm And well done personally on your performance as captain, encouraging your team throughout (despite what the Mail claims!)
Anyway, well done to Innis and the team. Great performance through the series, unlucky you couldn't get further.
(Presumably the Mail tried to contact you for comment but gave up when they couldn't track down "Ennis Carter".)

I advise all people to ask Innis for the full story of this some time. It is (for an outsider) genuinely hilarious.Graeme Cole wrote: Wed Apr 11, 2018 6:33 pmI had no idea what this was a reference to, so I looked for it.
