Gulliver's boot

Post by Matt D »

just as the rest of the season should be about Us, not the opposition, this boot is all about oxford:

1. how many players who have featured for oxford before this season will start the game? (10 points, a point deducted for each player out)

2. which oxford players, past or present, will score? (two points each, point deducted for each non-scoring player named)

3. which oxford players, past or present, will be shown a card by the referee? (two points each, point deducted for each player named who is not shown a card)

4. who will be announced as oxford's 'man of the match'? (five points for a correct answer)

5. what will the amount of prize money announced for oxford's 50/50 draw be? (10 points for the exact amount, 8 points for being £0.50-10 out, 6 points for £10.50-20 out, 4 points for £20.50-30 out, 2 points for £30.50-40 out, no points for being more than £40 out.)

person with the most points wins.

Is it just me or is Q1 a little ambiguous? Do you mean players who played for Oxford prior to this season, or players who have already played for Oxford this season? I guess it's the former, but ...

sorry. question 1 is intended to ask you how many players will start the game who have appeared for oxford prior to this season, whether or not they are still playing for oxford now.

i.e. chris hargreaves is one player who would count, billy turley is another, but james constable is not, as he only joined the club this season.

clear as mud?

if people who have already answered want to edit their entries in the light of that, please do. but i should have also have added that, as is traditional with questions around starting line-ups, answers/edits ahead of the team announcement please

Thanks Matt! Now, just to be sure (!), you say 2 points for each player shown a card - does that mean if someone is shown 2 cards you get double points, and triple points if he gets shown 3 cards? :wink:
