Re: Dancing Ghillies

OK, show your workings becomes germane here: OOUOUU gives Tom 2, Geoff 3, Radley and AColi 4 ... Now Radley needs to justify his 36.78% ... which is very precise but not what I estimated. For me it's a binomial expansion so N! / (r! (N-r)!) . p^r . (1-p)^(N-r) with N = 6, r = 3 and p = (1-p) = 0.5 a...

(1) Oxford Possession: (U) 54% or less (O) 55% or more; (2) Oxford Shots on Target: (U) Five or fewer; (O) Six or more; (3) Oxford Fouls: (U) Ten or fewer; (O) 11 or more; (4) Oxford Corners: (U) Six or fewer;...

Re: At the Jonny Socks Stadium

Hmmm. Hadn't really factored that in (well, other than in only naming one player), so I guiltily win my own boot on -1. I'd have won on the TB anyway, I guess. OK I guess I'l set another one.

Re: At the Jonny Socks Stadium

Clarification - you can have the same names as others, doesn't have to be unique names. Only the possession is no repeat.

At the Jonny Socks Stadium

In haste ...

Pick at least one, and up to four, Oxford players. You get four points for each goal they score (against Cheltenham!) but minus one if they fail to score.

TB: Oxford possession (as per BBC website). No repeats. If equidistant, lower % wins.

Re: Mid-life crisis manager's Cowboy Boots

Wouldn't we all be wrong and hence it go to the tie-breaker, though? Actually forget that, I'd have won it on that too! I made it 379?

I wandered lonely as a boot

Trotter time. Winner takes all. A point goes to the closest guess estimate, no repeats on any of the answers. If equidistant, the lower/smaller answer will win. BBC Sport website source for answers. 1. Total number of goals in the game 2. Total number of substitutions in the game 3. Oxford's league ...
