I did not take the goal margin in to account. Rightly or wrongly, I just added up the total goals in each correctly forecasted result. No chocolate digestives here either.

If it's done by goal margin we have a different winner. If City had won 5-4 today then a 1-0 prediction would have a closer margin than a 5-3 prediction?

But then again I'm surprised the presiding officer is allowed to enter the competition in the first place and would have thought anyone who found themselves in such a predicament would automatically withdraw their entry to save themselves from any embarrassment and to preserve the integrity of the game......
It's just a bit of fun ! My initial comment was purely in jest ! (facepalm)

Yes I realised that! I was trying to play along too. My comments were meant to just be a bit of fun too and said purely in jest too.

This is consistent with the Tie Break Committee's previous application of the goals element of the tie break. Nevertheless, The Great One has been invited to hand down an opinion and that is awaited. Or he may just tell me to fook off of course. :)

He just sent me a message...He told me to tell you to fook off..
Bleddy Stroudy....

















Just joking of course ; trying to bring some light humour to this controversial and divisive issue

I expect The Great One is cosily tucked up in bed after his Tartex on toast supper and a steaming mug of Rooibos. :)

He may still tell me to fook off mind.

Since my (unofficial) decision is based purely on fact and the ensuing logical conclusion, I feel sure Stroudy will wholeheartedly agree with me (....or tell me to fook off)

Never done this before
OK fellas, I'm still recovering from celebrating a City goal and Stroud Vegan Fair happening on the same day yesterday, but I'm onto it.
