What does it need?

The correct spelling of Middlesbrough would be a start.

Thief! I was about to post the same comment, but you beat me to it.

Think there should be a bonus point for anyone who corrected the spelling in their prediction

That's a good idea. one point for you and one for me. As all the others got the spelling wrong can we take away 5 points for an incorrect spelling?

[SouthDownsRoyal]

This is wrong

Fair point

Sorry, thanks for prompting me.

Boro to score on first half,

Reading to score in second half.

Sorry when I said reading to score first in second half, was a cack handed way of saying reading to score their first goal in the second half, but I see now.

Joking apart, when I transcribe all the predictions (about 25 per match this season)
I try not to analyse, just transcribe... so if 1-0 is there (when people mean Reading 1-0 away)
I am more than likely to write 1-0 under Boro, and then things hot fans

So, for example, when I am transcribing first team to score I enter

RDG 1 27 (Reading first half, minute 27)

This is a single line from the spreadsheet for Cardiff
(after the game)

14 Seahawk -1 0 20 3 5 2 10 0 RDG 2 63 0 0 1 2 0-0 1-2 ------------ 63 Ejaria ------------ 63 Ejaria 20 ------------ Seahawk

The underlined stuff is points awarded
so that isn't there until the game is played


Broken down

14 Seahawk -1 0 20 3 5 2 10 0

So 14th post, margin -1 (meaning RDG to win by a single goal)
this allows me to post predictions in margin order

20 points, 3 for HT score correct, 5 for FT score correct, 2 for first RDG scorer, 10 for on time and correct format

RDG 2 63

RDG to score first in second half (63rd minute )


0 0 1 2 0-0 1-2 ------------ 63 Ejaria ------------ 63 Ejaria 20 ------------ Seahawk

HT score is there twice, first two columns for sorting, second to for posting

------------ 63 Ejaria ------------ 63 Ejaria 20 ------------ Seahawk

Here Ejaria is first goal EITHER TEAM and also first goal for RDG

It looks like duplication but isn't

for example------------ 63 CARDIFF ------------ 83 Ejaria 20 ------------ Seahawk



===================================

So, point is, if people use different formats, miss stuff off, it takes forever (and there are always mistakes anyway)... (and I am more likely to make mistakes if formats etc are all over the place... so I give extra points for people posting correctly, and posting early

PS you may all wish me happy birthday
