Eric here again,

Please excuse my naivete', but I've been reading other posts and "news" articles on this site. Short of digging deeper into the rules section I thought to get some definiitions, in layman's terms if it's not too troublesome:

>carreaux: ? ?

>shoot à la rafle: a boule tossed/thrown in a rolling manner? ? {phonetically? ?}

>sèt à ges: 7 is considered an unlucky number and the expression means that he game will turn. Laymans' term: scoring seven points is unlucky? ?

quoted:
>Another superb match, where Quintais really had the upper hand with Suchaud as shooter backed up by himself as milieu. MILIEU?? a title? surname?


Many more terms but I'll cut this short.

regards,
Eric Breiby
