HTAFC Prediction League 2025 Matchday 5 - Lord Snooty - 02-02-2025
2 points for correct result
4 points for correct score
2 points for each correct scorer
Correct joker doubles your score
(correct score on a joker would give you 8 points)Wrong joker result gives you minus 2
Correct Badger gives you 2 points
The prize for winning the league is one rep point.
Cup games: In the event of a draw, it's half the points if you've predicted a draw when it gets to 90 mins and the full points if it's still a draw after extra time. Half the points will be awarded for correctly predicting the winner of the match if it goes to penalties. However, if you do predict a draw and it's a match that won't be going to a replay, you can get a possible extra point by stating which of the two teams you think will eventually win.
Random score generator: I will be using the random score generator again for those who miss predicting, so we shouldn't get some people too far behind that after missing a couple of weeks they lose all interest, because I know it's not easy getting on here every week.
To be fair to everybody, this is going to be like, say if three people in one week miss their predictions, the first one in the table will be given all 0-0, the second one down the line will get 1-0 and the third will get 0-1 and so on, like if there's four missing the 4th will get 1-1, then 5th 2-1, 6th 1-2. and if there are so many missing, might as well pack in.
And if you miss two weeks on the trot, I'll stop until you come back on again. Not doing it for half a season like I did t'other year.
At the end of the season, the winner of group 2 and the bottom of group 1 will swap places in what is commonly known as "promotion" and "relegation". It's something that most football fans will be familiar with, unless you're a fan of Liverpool or Arsenal or one of those other fashionable clubs.
The second placed player in group 2 will then have a play off with the player who finishes second from the bottom in group 1 to decide whether they will be going up, down or staying where they are.
We're going to have two seasons in one though, just to try and make it a bit more interesting and not so long drawn out. The first season will end on the Boxing Day fixtures, with the play offs being on the dates of the Twixtmas fixtures and the NYD fixtures.
The second season will start the following week, which is usually the FA Cup 3rd round, finishing on the last game of the League One season. Then another period of relegation/promotion play off games, taking in such fixtures as the EFL play offs, FA Cup Final, UEFA finals and such like.
Each group will have it's own set of fixtures. Both groups will have the Town games, with scorers to predict as before. Then it will be a split of League One fixtures and bonus matches, hopefully around ten, eleven or twelve games per Matchday.
The random badger is restricted to three goal scorers in any of the fixtures in your group.
Here's how that will appear at the end of the fixture list. All you have to do is fill in the blanks.......
*** scores for *** *** scores for *** *** scores for ***Any of those will score two points if correct. No minus points for getting it wrong.
Postponed matches will only count if the match is re-played before the next Matchday is under way. Abandoned matches will be awarded half the points for the score at the time of abandonment, so 1 point if you have the correct result, 2 points if you have the correct score.
Substitute
or scorer in one of the Town games:- These will be only be allowed if you change them before the match involved has kicked off.Prediction League Archive: https://www.sportsbabble.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=12830

I'm sure you kow this BBB and not wanting to teach grandma how to suck eggs, but if your mouse is constipated and won't behave after you've highlighted what text you want to copy (and assuming you're on a laptop/desktop PC) and trying to paste into a New or Quick Reply ...
Press and hold the Ctrl button then C to copy the highlighted text.
Go to the New or Quick Reply where you want to paste it (navigate with the arrow buttons if you can't use the mouse) and press and hold the Ctrl button then V to paste it.
Generally speaking, mouse wheels and buttons pick up a lot of (what used to be called) nerds refer to as erm, mouse shit over a period of time. So every so often take the top or the bottom (or both) covers off the mouse and give it's important little places a good clean. Bum fluff on the wheels is a major ageing problem and not just with computer meeces. Most now use some kind of laserish (sort of) detection for movement but it doesn't stop the crap building up on the scroll wheels and left/right buttons.
Otherwise whether wired or bluetooth, pull the USB connection and plug it back in, or if you know where to go, delete the mouse driver and restart the PC with it plugged back in. PS - this can be a real bundle of fun if you don't know how to navigate with keys and no mouse.
If it's a touch pad, might need a clean too.
If you're using any other means of navigation or device to get around on the site BBB, let air-traffic control know and we'll try to fly you in. What can possibly go wrong? Maybe it was the wrong week to give up using an iPhone and go for an Android?
Airplane
Does anyone still have a desktop PC? Does anyone still make a desktop PC? To be honest there's a limit to what I get to work on here on mobile phones. Don't get me started about email notifications.

I know you are joking me Lord, however I try to never look at the predictions of others, that is probably why I'm in such a .... place.
Thank you Theo for that escape. I use a laptop with its own cursor.. But every now and again on here it plays silly buggers.
