In the absence of being in Yorkshire or within radio range of RadOx, then I've had a bit of time while reading the BBC text updates to work out the points for the boot.

At kick-off, no-one got the correct number of OUFC changes (6) or season debuts (2), so Geoff, Hoglette &JoeP took the lead by getting the right number of SWFC changes (5).
As the final whistle blew, no card for Macdonald or goal for Oxford meant a six way tie on 2pts each, while defeat also meant that it all came down to the Extra Time vrs Penalties question....

If more games went to penalties then it would be between Geoff and JoePoolman
If fewer went to penalties then it would be between Radley, Hog and Hoglette
An equal number of XT wins and penalty shootouts would have meant victory was mine, but a stalemate in the 8pm kickoff meant an odd number of games in ET, and the end of my challenge

10 goals in extra time, but as the final whistles go, how many are going to shootouts:
Luton Stoke finishes first at 1-1 but a string of conclusive finishes meant another shoot out between WBA & Port Vale is not enough to affect the final balance.

No shootout at Hillsborough renders TB1 redundant, which leaves Radley, Hog & Hoglette facing TB2 - the number of games that went to Extra Time....

Radley said 5, Hog went for 8 and Hoglette 9, but with the actual number being 7, then HOG gets the honour......

I often hanker after the original purpose of the Boot, which was for simplicity as a contrast to the complexity of the (RIP) Hat, a recreation of the old terrace 50p in the kitty, name the first scorer, winner takes all ...
