Accrington ...v...Portsmouth game is off because of frost.....no jokers involved.

 

Beat me to it Plym. That's a situation I hadn't thought of when I dreamt up the Goal Total Bonus. I'll have to bodge that.

 

So do we just reduce each persons total by the goals they expected to be scored at that game.

 

I can do that en masse, no need for you to recalculate, just a bit untidy that's all. I hate untidiness. The trouble is with bodges in spreadsheets and coding generally is that they tend to get forgotten and lie in wait to bugger things up next time you use it.

 

Didn't happen with my simplistic effort.............just saying like.

 

MORECAMBE V CHARLTON IS OFF. I noted several jokers for that one including my own so have amended it. Others will have to do the same. Suspect there may be a couple of late casualties yet to come though.

 

Ipswich 2 v 1 Peterborough
Shewsbury 1 v 1 Bolton (J)
Burton 0 v 1 Derby
FGR 1 v 1 Cheltenham
Accrington P v P Portsmouth
Bristol R 2 v 1 Port Vale
Cambridge 1 v 2 Plymouth (26th)
Exeter 1 v 2 Sheffield W
Lincoln 1 v 0 Wycombe
MK Dons 1 v 2 Fleetwood
Morecambe P v P Charlton
Oxford 1 v 1 Barnsley

23 goals

 

Still only two games off at 7.40 am.....but I assume there will be a few inspections in the next few hours.

4 off in Div 2.

 

Accrington, Morecambe and Offord all off at 09:40.

It's still 2 jokers Musty - unless we drop below 3 games!

 

Here's where we are on jokers with the postponed games shaded:

 

I've now moved my Oxford joker thank you.......to Ipswich.


If Oxford has gone.....maybe Cambridge might follow.....similar terrain.

 

Game should be on.....pitch has been covered.....groundsman confident that all is ok.

 

Done...

 

Ummmmmmm any previous score keepers like to remind me how nearest goal time works in the case of a 0-0? We must have had one in living memory....

All bets off?

 

0-0.........so surely......0 mins would be recorded......maybe the nearest time quoted to 90mins would be nearest.....but that would be saying a goal would have been scored and in this case no goals where scored at all.

I don't think you can award anything but......0 mins as an answer.

We all miss out.

In fact if someone had put 0-0 down as Argyles result.....then no goal time is required to be shown.

 

So, I expect some of you will like to check, so here are is the Festive Total Goals Bonus calculation with the three postponed games excluded. Joe didn't submit this week, hence the zero entry. This table was intended to be a hidden working so no design advice is required. Lyndhurst and Musty are closest with forecasts of 21 against an actual of only 17, including 2 x 0-0's and 1 x 1-0.



Subject to leaves on the line and other winter hazards, the next games are on Saturday when there are 12 games at 3pm. These are the last until Boxing Day, so, failing to learn from my goal total humiliation, we'll have Christmas doubles (points not drinks) all round.

 

notDistant....do I not get my 6pts for a correct joker on the Ipswich game.

And thinking about it again...how can you give anyone a goal time bonus when there was no goals.
