FA Cup Q-F Scores Game (2015-16)

FA Cup Quarterfinals Scores Game (2015-16)

Here’s a fun competition, and it’s a one-off game, so make a prediction and then sit back and enjoy! It’s a game orientated to a few special friendly other forums too, namely:
Reading - Royals Rendezvous
Blackpool - Back Henry Street
Peterborough – The Posh Forum
Sunderland – Black Cat Chat
Newcastle – Toon Forum
Watford – WFC Forums
WBA – Baggies Zone
Leeds – LUFC Talk
Liverpool – Talk the Reds
Bournemouth - CourtOffside
West Ham – Cockney Boys

This is an exact score competition, so just give the full-time scores as you see it going for ALL FOUR quarter-final games coming up. Replays never come into it, we are looking at only the initial match


POINTS to be gained ...

EXACT SCORE with correctly named winning team 6 points

RIGHT RESULT and winning goal margin correct (e.g. you a team wins say 3-1 but it finishes 4-2, or 2-0) or a draw 'one goal out' (e.g. you say 1-1 but it is 2-2) 4 points

RIGHT RESULT but winning/draw goal margins out 3 points

WRONG RESULT but reward for an entry! 1 point

+ Postponed or Abandoned? In this unlikely event the game is void, but you are awarded two points for the inconvenience!

Editing of any of the 4 predictions is allowed up to kick-off time of the first match played but then are counted as definitive ... but it is YOUR responsibility to tell me on the thread or by PM!


a reminder of what matches we are talking about:

Friday 11th March – 7.55 pm KO
Reading v Crystal Palace

Saturday 12th March
Arsenal v Watford
Everton v Chelsea

Sunday 13th March
Manchester United v West Ham


Points and the placings for this comp will appear on this thread within a couple of days after the last match for this round has been played … I’ll give both the complete points for your forum, and the top dozen overall positions on all forums together for even more prestigious bragging rights!

Good luck!

Here goes for the stats from all forums with how many people see just the Reading v Palace game result (given my special interest as a Royals fan!), I only name scores where a prediction has been given:



READING WIN
1-0 = 3
2-0 = 4
2-1 = 8
3-2 = 1
3-1 = 2
3-0 = 1
19 predos in total


CRYSTAL PALACE WIN
0-1 = 3
1-2 = 5
0-2 = 5
1-3 = 2
0-3 = 1
0-8 = 1
17 predos in total


DRAW
0-0 = 1
1-1 = 16 [maximum individual score prediction]
2-2 = 2
19 predos in total



So basically - it's WIDE OPEN !!!

Well done Campo - perfect score first game!!

6 pts - Reading v Crystal Palace 0-2

Pardew didn't have the balls to admit his player took a tumble for the penalty though

Whether he went down easy or not, it was a penalty. He was held and blocked off which denied a goal scoring opportunity. As much as I dislike Pardew, his stance on this was the correct one.

penalty or not? - decide for yourself

The second angle is more telling, he appears to get through then when alone falls down!!

Yes, it's a penalty. The player was impeded and a goal scoring opportunity denied. Stone wall, nailed on penalty.

that's not a popular view on Reading's 'Royals Rendezvous' !!

It's the manner in which they go down that does my head in
It by the letter of the law could well be considered a Pen
But it is still a dive

Here are the competition results. I must say it was a difficult cup round to guess, and no-one ran away with it nationally. That means a multi-tie and delight for more people this time.
