    I bet Poster Boy’s points were correct.

    You need to buy “someone” a drink and pass him a brown bag or two I’m led to believe………allegedly.

    Just the bags, or with anything inside?

    Not sure about you Trev, but I think it's shoddy. We gave Jak over 27 hours notice to let us know that he wouldn't accept these conditional card requests. Yet instead he let it play out without any watning, only to hit us with a terrible VAR decision after we'd already celebrated scoring.

    It's a conspiracy I say. Discrimination against both the elderly and the slightly overweight.

    But it was also discriminatory against me as well…

    Personally, I am speechless.

    I thought Jak would, at least, remember when Heed and me carried him up to the Earl on his palanquin and not victimize me maliciously by introducing new rules in the middle of the game. But obviously he just can’t forget or forgive the fact that Heed slipped and we tipped him into a small puddle…well smallish. Heed apologised once he came off the Hospital ventilator but it seems Jak still blames us for everyone laughing at him.

    Bloody Newbies! For the game predictions you get either 0pts (wrong result), 1pt (correct result), 2pts (correct result and correct goal difference) or 5pts (correct result and correct score).
    For a draw with the wrong score however you only get 1pt as every draw by definition will have the correct goal difference.

    That’s not explicitly explained and I maintain I should have at least 9 points. :1980_boogie_down:

    Or if I accept your mediocre changes to the rules then it should be 7.

    I will check it when I get back from my run. I am sure if I had made a mistake @Joelinton's Right Foot would have PMd me by now!

    Read badly written case law and this is a prime example. I should have 9 points according to the rules. Prove to me I am wrong.

    Can't be bothered scrolling so if you'd be so kind to post them on this page I will look once I understand the rules and take all other things such as how it effects my score and other peoples bribes into account <whistle>

    Lol see prior post. My logic is sound. There is a question mark over draw result but the rules state that if you get the right result (draw) and you get the the right goal difference (a draw can’t be anything other than the right goal difference as a result) then you should get 1 point for the draw and an additional 2 points for the GD.

    I would say a technicality like this would require the intervention of @Hung,Drawn and Quartered. Hung holds the power and sway around here with his free pint influence and I'm sure if he wishes to side with you he can bribe Jak accordingly <whistle>

    I like to keep that one quiet. It normally doesn’t get noticed and commented on until Christmas, normally by some Placcy Liverpool fan.
