flipping coin

I get the home captain to flip and away captain to call in air

Does the away captain have to call if the home captain lands on his head or backside after the flip?

I do the same. Despite me telling the Home captain to catch it they usually still let it hit the ground. Surprisingly no one ever calls "edges" because they'd probably win every time in January! Happened twice so far this month.

I've done some profiling from your previous posts and I think you'd make me smile and grimace at the same time, @Charlie Jones. Should be entertaining, though.

If I see old pennies for sale I tend to stock up - they are usually about £1 for 10.

Mrs PP always helpfully points out to the stall holder that I'm a ref , and that's why I'm buying them.

You can almost see them thinking 'It would be cheaper to use modern 2ps"!
