I am thinking of running a predict a score similar to the premier league the only difference I will be looking for the actual score. if you get the result correct (home /Away /Draw) then you will get 1pt but if you predict the exact score then you get an extra point.
or
simply the same as the premier league Home /Away/Draw.
Since there is quite a bit of work involved I will only run it if there is a reasonable number of participants.
Please indicate ASAP and certainly no later than 27th May if you intend to take part
I'll have a go, got to be better than my performance in the PL one :57:
Well done I am sure a lot of us will be guessing especially the early stages
Only 1 extra point for correctly for guessing, sorry predicting the correct score ?
Biggin, Malcolm has said he will do it. His team are in the World Cup. I'm still huffing ☘️🇮🇪
Thanks Doreen 1 for that, and just to go on from Bagwash comment 1 extra point for correct score that is up for suggestions with 5 pts for correct score being mentioned so nothing set in stone at the moment
Okay so we have enough players to make it interesting so here are the rules
Predictions will be made by entering what you think will be the score
Points
Predictions - Exact Score 5 for exact score 1 for predicting home/ draw /away
Simple good luck to everyone

Good Question from Doreen 1 re round of 16 does the score apply to 90 mins or extra time or penalty shoot out. I had not thought about this so lets what everyone thinks.
My first thought are that we eliminate Penalty shoot outs as we are working on actual scores and ant tie that is decided by a penalty shoot out shows score after extra time then the shoot out score
So for me that leaves the 90/120 min score and personally don't have any real preference so lets see what others think.

I agree score at the end of the match, not including penalty shootouts
I agree that we should avoid the penalty shoot out.
I'd go for the final score at the end of 120 minutes. Not really bothered either way, but that's my vote.
Himself agrees 120 minutes result, but will go with the flow 👍🏻
Ok so we have had 5 responses so far and all going for result at 120mins if extra is involved so democracy rules that is:-
Score after 120mins if extra time is played
Well done to Doreen1 (or maybe her husband :lol: ) for bringing up the point
👍🏻
Well we had some high score with today's games with Angleseyite topping with 11 and Albert 10 and at the other end earl leader Bolton with 1 was joined by Biggin and John on the same score, so changes in the league table
