Army Boot

Post by Hog »

It's a first team fixture so we should have a Boot. The 36 hour deadline has passed so I'm going to set one and the management can argue about it later.

1. Will the total crowd be below (1pt), above (2pts) or exactly (3pts) 1,234?

2. Will the away element be below (1pt), above (2 pts) or exactly 222?

3. Name the starting Oxford back 5 including the 'keeper (1pt each)

4. Name the 3 Oxford subs used using None to fill any gaps if you think less than 3 will be used. (2pts each correct name or each correct None)

5. Will the game go to penalties? Yes or No (1pt)

Most points wins

TB. Total crowd

If Parklife gets to this before tomorrow lunchtime, s/he can annul this and jump straight to Brizzle. Mickey Mouse competition. You'll have people demanding pre-season friendlies next. Name of first scorer: A Triallist. Number of substitutions: 57.

Cobblers. You're making it up as you go along now! The Boot is NOT a Mickey Mouse competition (and the 36 hours is up). It's a first team fixture, like it or not! Just get on with it. Or is your writers cramp that bad you just can't manage?

(I know you don't like them but I feel I need to insert :wink: !!!)

(a) Of course I am making it up as I go along. That's the bootmeister's one privilege.
(b) Of course it is a Mickey Mouse competition. Just because the game happens to be round the corner from you ...
(c ) Anyone criticising the Bootmeister's decisions will be penalised a random number of points.

But, anyway, it is too late, so this will just have to run. Sigh. Has it kicked off yet. Does anyone care?
