Six questions and you start with 12 points. You pick your answer and then say how many points you get for getting it right. You must say at least 1 point for each answer and the maximum is 5 points on one answer. If you use more than 12 points then all your answers are void. Most points wins.

1. Will Oxford win/lose/draw?
2. Will Lundstram start the game/come on as sub/not get on the pitch?
3. How many changes will there be to the starting line-up from the Luton game?
4. How many goals will Roofe score?
5. Who will be the first Oxford player shown a card (or None)
6. What will the halftime score be (oxford goals first)
TB. Total attendance (if still level then earlier one wins)

Answers for Q3/4 must be posted by 1815 on the day.

There are six answers and you need to put at least one point on each. I'll get Hog to text you so you can do it again in case you don't see this.

This is awkward. I need help from the Bootmeister!

Boogie put 6 points on Q1 Oxford winning on his second attempt although the maximum allowed was 5. My rules said anyone using too many points would not get any but I was thinking of the whole game, not just one question so do I give him zero for Q1 or give him 5 of those points? He used a total of 12 points so that's not a problem.

If I give him the 5 points then he wins with a total of 9 but if I give him 0 then I win with 7! It's awkward because I'm involved but I promise I'd ask the Bootmeister even if I wasn't!

What would you do Mooro?


The other scores were Ancient Colin and JoePoolMan zero, Radley and Geoff 2, Hog and Mooro 3.

Forget most of my last post! I'll give Boogie the maximum 5 points as he got the question right and also got more questions right than anyone else so it's only fair.

Your go Boogie

Much as we might value Mooro's advice, um, Radley's the Bootmeister and can make whatever arbitrary decisions felt appropriate!

Thanks Hoglette.

Only right that I should be rewarded for such positivity!
