CWL,

I'm sorry I put that idea on the backburner for all this time. But as you say we can start a simple prediction league amongst ourselves. Your suggestions are good.

Correct Result (Final Score) - 5 points
I suggest the following scoring system: - (I've just changed the points slightly)
5 pts = Fully correct score i.e. correct outcome, exact scoreline which implies correct GD
4 pts = Correct outcome, not the exact scoreline but the correct GD
3 pts = Correct outcome only

E.g. If NUFC beats Man Utd 1-3 on the first day of the season (wishful thinking) and our predictions are as follows,
Polly: - 0-2
Marlene: - 1-3
CWL: - 0-1
Magpie: - 1-1

Then we get the following points,

Polly: - 4 (correct outcome with the not the exact scoreline however he got the GD right)
Marlene: - 5 (fully correct score)
CWL: - 3 (Correct outcome only)
Magpie: - 0

Correct First Goal Scorer - 3 points
I like this one.

All Correct Goal Scorers (Toon only) - bonus 2 points
I would suggest awarding a point for each correct goal scorer also on top of a bonus of 2 points for all correct goal scorers.

I guess I went and complicated it a little. What do you think? I just made it up right now.

Sounds good to me i have got 4 points already.

I'VE GOT 5 I'M THE WINNER ALREADY YIPPEE.

Going to try and get my head around the predictions scoring system with a test run during our game against the Canaries today.

No idea about the make up of the teams so predicting two results....................

Head says this will be a 2 - 2 draw at the final whistle..................................First Goal Scorer, Carroll......................Other Toon Goal Scorer, Best. Norwich Scorers...............Hoolahan, Ward.

Heart says Toon to win 1 - 3..........................First Goal Scorer, Best.............2nd Toon Goal Scorer...........Barton.................3rd Toon Goal Scorer............Nolan.....................Norwich Scorer........Fox

Lets see how many points that lot earns me...............

[magpie4ever99]

I hope I am not too late. I don't know when the match is starting. probably going on as I speak. But I predict us to win 0-2...Best with the first goal and Nolan adding another.

You didn't miss anything but we missed you. Good to hear from you. Get better Marlene and then come on here full time ...

Predictions Results

Correct Result (Final Score) - 5 points
5 pts = Fully correct score i.e. correct outcome, exact scoreline which implies correct GD
4 pts = Correct outcome, not the exact scoreline but the correct GD
3 pts = Correct outcome only

Correct First Goal Scorer - 3 points
(note this can be for either team)

All Correct Goal Scorers (Toon only) - bonus 2 points
Additional point for each correct goal scorer also on top of a bonus of 2 points for all correct goal scorers.

Head says this will be a 2 - 2 draw at the final whistle..................................First Goal Scorer, Carroll......................Other Toon Goal Scorer, Best. Norwich Scorers...............Hoolahan, Ward.

Heart says Toon to win 1 - 3..........................First Goal Scorer, Best.............2nd Toon Goal Scorer...........Barton.................3rd Toon Goal Scorer............Nolan.....................Norwich Scorer........Fox

These predictions gained the following points,

Incorrect outcome for both predictions - Points 0

Incorrect First Goal Scorer for both predictions - Points 0

All Correct Goal Scorers (Toon only) - (wrong again for both predictions) Points 0

Some of the above did not apply today for the given predictions as only Shola scored and to add insult to injury I was also entirely wrong for the Norwich player prediction as it was Martins who got both of their goals today.

Total points from this exercise - 0.

I shall be much better at predicting the real thing as the multiple substitutions clearly made a big difference to the potential overall points tally I could have obtained had those players stayed on the pitch until the end. Just a spot of fine tuning required that's all before the next friendly and a bit of assistance from my pal Micky.

Marlene, the Big Man had his medical yesterday evening and is expected to sign sometime today on one year deal with second year option depending upon games etc.

No doubt about his quality from me just question marks around keeping him fit and injury free.

[magpiemarky]

I hope i'm wrong but,Idon't think Sol has much left in the tank,he's coming up 36(very soon) common sense and logic tells you ,footballing wise,he's just about spent,and this all flies in the face of Fatsos club policy,mair lies from the f.c.b.
