"2. Receive 1pt for a correct result, 2pts for correct goal difference and 5pts for a correct score, plus an extra 3pts for correct first scorer." Cool. So 8 points for a perfect score. 11 if you get the scorer as well. Got it.
I love this time of the season. Roland and GG are almost moaned out, kick-off is only hours away and @Obi Wan and @Rum & Black for 2 are getting stuck in to the inane questions and comments.
