Horse Shoe vs Iron Horse: The Final Showdown

[Ancient Colin]

For Geoff and Hog only, to decide the 2011/12 Bootmeister slipper, a simple cascade on the play off final

(a) Who will win, Crewe or Cheltenham?
(b) Will the game go to extra time, yes/no?
(c) Will there be less than three goals, exactly three goals, more than three goals scored (in normal and extra time)?
(d) Name any goalscorer (but only one name).

Tiebreak: Time of first goal. Nearest wins, if equidistant, earlier wins, no repeats.

[Geoff]

May the best man win Hog!

(a) Crewe
(b) No
(c) Three
(d) Leitch-Smith

Tiebreak: 15 mins.

[Hog]

Yes, you probably will!

(a) Crewe
(b) No
(c) Less than three
(d) Leitch-Smith

Hog's close-marking catenacio entry has the desired effect, with both getting Crewe and No, but Hog having &quotless than three&quot in the total goals. Sadly for Geoff it did not go to the tiebreaker given his unerring accuracy.

So commiserations to Geoff, but Hog claims the 2011/2012 hobnail boot and carries it (possibly as a retirement slipper) into the 2012/2013 season of hopes, crushed dreams and exasperation.

[Geoff]

Well played Hog!

Look forward to locking horns with you next season.

[Hog]

Thanks Geoff - I was lucky it didn't go to tie-break! I've no idea who you are but will happily buy you a pint to soften the blow! Cue numerous chancers approaching me in The Priory and saying &quotHi Hog, I'm Geoff&quot!

[Geoff]

Don't worry your money's safe because I don't know what you look like either. So if anyone knows that you are you it's not me!

You don't know what Hog looks like? Well, I have a photo of him, but I'm not sure if he still wears his hair this way....

[Hog]

You're going to struggle in The Boot next season GY. Especially with a 10 point penalty before you start!
