    You could at least change one of the scorers



    Like @Albert's Chip Shop does

    There are some problems with this.

    1. Its not really a standing order if it changes every week. I am sure your bank wouldn't accept one that said: Make a monthly payment that is the same amount as the account holder with the highest bank balance pays that month.
    2. Our leader from last week (@Joelinton's Right Foot) forgot to post for Saturday's games so his Standing Order kicked in. Can a Standing Order copy a Standing Order

    I will allow it this week but you need to change your Standing Order to something like: 2-1 to the Home Team with No 10 as first scorer or No 8 if No. 10 not playing or 2-0 to the team highest in the league prior to match commencement with No 10 etc.

    If you need advice @Albert's Chip Shop is a master of the standing order.

    Not much going on last night although @InBiscanWeTrust did pick up a point, presumably more through hope than good prediction skills. @Joelinton's Right Foot wins the week with @GeordieHalfbreed, the latter through a now banned Standing Order practice. @InBiscanWeTrust takes 3rd. He has to see this week as a lost opportunity though as the use of his Bonus Card in hand would have seen him take the overall lead. As it is he is 29pts behind. @Albert's Chip Shop is now being pressed by @GeordieHalfbreed who has 2 cards in hand.

    It ****ing annoys me intensely when I am the last poster and you don't copy my predictions or make so many changes they are unrecognisable. What is wrong with them?

    I'd have thought you preferred it - just copy over the score from whoever was top of the table at the start of the round. Rather than work out a complicated version. Works out well for me when they have a good day, but badly when they don't!

    If you like then I can do a more standard one:

    2-1 to the team higher in the league, unless that team scored more than 2 in their previous game. Then 3-1. First scorer is from winning team, top scorer on BBC top scorers list for that team who starts the match. Unless it's a Tuesday game in which case no 10 scores or no 8 if no 10.


    Am I doing it right?

    I'm kidding, by the way. You work much harder than Nev in running the game.

    Standing order from now on:

    2-1 to the team higher in the league. First scorer is from winning team, top scorer on BBC top scorers list for that team who starts the match.

    I guess I should take that as a compliment, just not a very big one.

    Given the recent posts I would like to change my standing order to be the same as the person who gets the most points for the games that my standing order relate to.

    <cheers>
