12a Outstanding victory secured by defensive blunder (5)
O?I?G
This looks like OWING, but other than the 'outstanding' bit I cannot see the wordplay

19a Take some clothing from Georgia base, going West (5)
D?B?G
DEBAG ? or DEBUG ? I cannot see the wordplay here either other than debag and 'take some clothing'
Would love some help. Thanks.

[rich47]

debag is take trousers (bags) off

[ladyalex]

Thank you, rich, but why ?

[Lie-in King]

12a Owing - 'win' (in) O(wn) G(oal)
19a Debag - (to right = West) - G(eorgi)a + bed (base)

Had a lovely time last night, m'lady - thank you! :-)

[writesbad]

Ga (abbr) and bad (base) reversed

[ladyalex]

Thank you, writesbad. Must brush up on my football. :-))


Thanks again, Rich, but where does Georgia base and going West fit in ?

[amtaff]

O.G.=own goal
debag
GA=georgia, bed=base, going west being fromright to left

[Lie-in King]

Ahem! ^^^

[rich47]

see Lie-in King explanation - georgia is ga, bed is base then read from right to left (go west) =debag

[Lie-in King]

After all that, I mucked it up! "*From* right..."

I need a drink...

[ladyalex]

Thanks again writesbad and Lie-in-King.

I think I may understand them now....maybe...

The pleasure last night was mutual, your Maj.

(That'll get them going !)

[ladyalex]

Thanks everyone.
