Crusader Crossword Saturday 19th January 2019

[JohnDenver]

So we are going to win 2-6 ?

Just before the Estonia ferry disaster, the telegraph crossword included the words Estonia Mariner Disaster.

So too right - I’m lumping on 2-6.

 

[stringer]

Nope. Doesn't work for me. Why would a pitch be next to a field? I can see pitch being alternate to field, but beside? May be beside is "as well as". Bad clue. We'll lose cos of that.

She is next to field to make Sheffield?

She is next to field to make Sheffield?

But there’s the F in between which ruins the logic. Crosswords are for true pedants.

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

Having read through to here, could someone please unscramble my brain ?

The extra F is the ‘loud’ clue isn’t it?

“The woman, loud, beside pitch, a French one with man from football club”

She = Woman
F = Loud in music
Field = Pitch

Un = A in french
I = one in Roman numerals
Ted = Man

Sheffield United = Football Club

“The woman, loud, beside pitch, a French one with man from football club”

She = Woman
F = Loud in music
Field = Pitch

Un = A in french
I = one in Roman numerals
Ted = Man

Sheffield United = Football Club

Second part a bit tenuous, but I`m rubbish at crosswords.

 

[JohnDenver]

The extra F is the ‘loud’ clue isn’t it?

It is, but I’m being too literal. The woman isn’t beside the pitch at all. Loud is.

Basically I disagree with every crossword clue until I realise I was wrong.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Can’t we post up viz crossword clues instead?

I’m no good at them either. But they’re funny

C'mon Wigan

 

[Boxer Blade]

What's the answer then

 

[Marcus Tullius Cicero]

The answer is within yourself.

 

[vorpal blade]

F = Fortissimo = Loud

no, f stands for forte meaning 'strong' hence 'loud' therefore it fits, with She f field. Fortissimo is very loud and marked ff and it would have made the clue wrong, Shefffield.


ps Sorry Sabella's sox, I missed that you'd already explained it.

 

[Plymouthblade]

The answer is within yourself.

Too many letters
