"Win (or Draw) "From Behind"

for Points

First Team to Score
must be explicitly stated,
the half, and goal time



EXAMPLE



Reading 1-1 Swansea HT
Reading 2-1 Swansea FT

Swansea to Score First in First Half in 11th Minute
Reading to Win from Behind <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

SEQUENCE

(11) Reading 0-1 Swansea
(44) Reading 1-1 Swansea (JOAO, alt Laurent)
====================================== HT
(90) Reading 2-1 Stoke (Laurent, alt Morrison)



REMINDER

To get points for sequence:

1 BOTH teams must score (Example 3-0 cannot win but 3-1 can)
2 Minimum of 3 goals. (Example 2-1 is lowest score that can win points. 1-1 cannot win)
3 Goals must occur in the correct sequence AND in the correct half, but times don't need to be precise.

Example.

Reading away go 1-0 down in 15th minute, equalise in 40th minute, go ahead in 45th minute

(15) Saints 1-0 Reading
(40) Saints 1-1 Reading (JOAO, alt Swift)

This is correct so far and on track for a zillion points

But

(15) Saints 1-0 Reading
(40) Saints 1-1 Reading (JOAO, alt Swift)
================================ HT
(46) Saints 1-2 Reading) (INCE, alt Ejaria)

DOESN'T win a coconut because the winning goal was predicted as second half.


This, DOES win

(01) Saints 1-0 Reading
(22) Saints 1-1 Reading (JOAO, alt Swift)
(24) Saints 1-2 Reading) (INCE, alt Ejaria)
================================== HT
NO GOALS SECOND HALF

The goals are in the right order, and in the correct half. (Exact times unimportant)

IF you get the correct sequence points you are then also eligible for bonus points for "exact time of goal", plus/minus 1 minute.

This applies to each goal individually,

So it is possible to score 40 Sequence points for a perfect 2-1, (10 plus 3 x 10)

SIXTY for a perfect 3-1 or 2-2. (20 + 4 x 10)

A perfect 4-1 would score 90 (40 + 5 x 10)

A six goal game predicted perfectly would score 60+60 = 120

(Perfectly is every goal smack on time-wise. There would be +5 for every correct Reading scorer too...

These sequence points are separate from the main prediction.


I wouldn't worry about the above very much as in three seasons we have only ever had two sequences correct!

=============================================================================================

For my prediction above

SEQUENCE

(37) Reading 1-0 Blackburn (INCE, alt JOAO)
========================= HT
(55) Reading 1-1 Blackburn
(85) Reading 2-1 Blackburn (INCE, alt Ejaria)

I would get sequence points if Reading went 1-0 up in the first half, Blackburn equalise AFTER HT, and Reading then get the winner.

I would ALSO get points for INCE if he scored the goals, and yet more if I got the times at 37-55-85, or very close

===============================================================================================

As a group we are pretty crap at predicting, but at least it's POSSIBLE for a Nobber to pick up 100/120/140 points in a game

If Reading score first in the first half in the 54th minute, I hope nobody objects to me awarding the prediction league trophy three games early

That only 45 + 9... There could be a lot of added time - you know how bad Championship referees are!

Got a weird one this week.

If Moon Pig's prediction is valid it is the most extreme!

If it ISN'T then we have the bizarre "result" of
6/9 = two-thirds of predictions (all a one-goal narrow win)
being "the most extreme prediction")

-3 Snowball
-3 Horsham Royal
-3 Royal Jimmy

Happy to knock -3 off my score either way

I did intend it to be my real prediction, as we nearly always get hammered by them, so I genuinely thought we would again. But, I did post it very late, so want sure if it would count.

OK, here is what I intend to do.

I will ACCEPT Moon Pig's (amazing) prediction (even though it was late) ,

and award him a ten point BONUS as

1-0
1-1
1-2
1-3
1-4

was amazingly on the mark

Then I have to deduct 3 points for "most extreme" prediction

I am ALSO deducting 3 marks from MY total
lest it be said I am altering
things to favour myself.
