    Top scorers with a cracking 14 points Dier Hard, deedub93*, Allledleykingsmen, well done to them.
    We have an outright leader already as Animo Et Fide takes top spot with two 12's in a row. Great start to the league thanks to Spurs victories. Big game coming up at Old Trafford. 1 player failed to predict.

    I'm going to be in Kigali on my way back to the UK, so I'm guessing it has to be a bar like 'the Car Wash' to watch this one. I'll probably be out numbered by the plastics by about 50:1

    Manure 1:4 Spurs, Deli, Kane, Lucas and Tripps

    Quick question if I may. If a poster predicts 0 goals for us and is correct when the game is played, do they get a scorers bonus by accurately predicting there would not be any?

    2 points for correct Spurs goal tally. So the answer is yes

    You say the answer is yes, but I think you are saying it is no. Not trying to change the rules, just wondering if Nil is the scorer (not score) and gets scorer points. As I see it in this game there are 2 types of bonus points. One for the correct score (so as you say that is covered) and secondly for correct scorer. So I predict spurs will score 3, Kane Alli and Moura and it is 1-0 with Kane scoring then I get bonus points for his goal. Just wondering if zero goals counted as a no goal scorers and attracted extra bonus points for getting the right scorer (i.e. no one). Can logically argue it both ways (2 sets of bonus points for 1 prediction or deserving the extra points for getting the lack of scorers right) so not a wrong or right answer just curious how you judged it.

    I’ve actually wondered the same thing in the past, but never questioned it because I’m so ****ing ****e at this game that it doesn’t matter anyway! <laugh>

    No one is No one the points are for a scorer there is no scorer therefore there are no points to be won.
    The rule is quite clear and not ambiguous. It is important to read the English. <ok>

    Most realist thinkers would point out that if there is no goalscorer, you can't be awarded points for predicting something that hasn't happened I.e nobody scored.
    Conceptual or abstract thinkers would contend that you are correct that points should accrue from accurately predicting that no goalscorer would score any goals.
    As I'm not predicting :oops: :huh::emoticon-0138-think, I don't give a f***

    If you're not predicting, then can you give a ****?
    If a man predicts in the woods, then does he make a sound? Hopefully not. Nutter.
