h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Greece 1 Portugal 1
HT: Greece
First Charisteas
Last Ronaldo

Portugal 3 Greece 0
HT: Portugal
First scorer: Ronaldo
Last scorer: Ronaldo

Portugal 1 Greece 2 (Gianokopolus)

HT = 1 1

Last scorer (Gianokopolus)summat like that spelling

Ormy - Hmm... I think not, though I can see a case for awarding a point. Overall nominating a scorer and a nil-nil smacks slightly of having your cake and eating it; because in a sense you've nominated two first scorers - a name and no one as you've said nil-nil.

Curses. You saw the logic behind my cunning plan.

OK, in that case:

Portugal 2-0 Greece

Half-time: draw
First scorer: Maniche
Last scorer: Ronaldo

I don't know, it all seemed so simple when I was wracking my brains for some additional bonus points to fling at this final round. Who would have thought that it would end up so complicated. I mean it's almost as bad as B and his differential scorer points depending upon player position

Suffice to say, this is the first and last time that 'last scorers' will feature in any fantasy football competition that I run.

Well, for running this one. It's been fun, even though I seem to be on course for my lowest-ever finish.

I have faith in you, Ormy.

(plus, if you get enough points for your traditional top three finish, your prediction is similar enough to mine that I can draw level with Egon. )

B

Portugal 2-1 Greece

A draw at half time.

Pauleta to score first, Vryzas to score last.

Well I for one am absolutely delighted with the result

A one-nil victory means that I don't have to go faffing around working out the last scorer points for that (now defunct) sub-section of the competition.

Half-time points seem to work out OK as a good idea, with plenty of points getting awarded. So I expect that I shall wheel it out again for special occasions.

So to the competition. There was a late charge by McKay and Number Six who climbed up the table with their 4 points each. But that late spurt wasn't enough to dislodge Bottletop from his top spot where he hangs on by one point to claim the Championship and the mousemat! YAY!!!

So there you have it. The end of a thoroughly enjoyable competition, both here and in Portugal. It's been fun

Me, well I'm now off for a well earned summer holiday and I'll see you all back here in early August for the Season Twelve of the Offical h2g2 Fantasy Football League.

Bye-eeee!

* waves *

...

That was hugely better than I expected to finish!


and


to Bottletop for a well-deserved victory!

Well done, Bottletop.

I prefer to think of myself as finishing five points behind you rather than nine places behind you.

Three things:

Bottletop- congratulations
GreyDesk- thanks for running the wehole caboodle
Master B- stick that up your pipe and smoke it, loser

heartfelt congratulations to bottletop, and best of luck to all of you next season!

(just kidding)

Well, thank you gents, what a great competition.

Thanks, once again, to that man behind the grey desk, for all his efforts and hard work, thanks GD. (enjoy your holiday!) and thanks to my fellow players, for all the ‘banter & craic’ that makes lurking here so enjoyable. Greece did a good job for me in the end too, by winning (after H/T), and keeping on top of the table in the last round……

Looking forward to Season Twelve….


Makes a nice tagline too

Bottletop

Well done BT -

I have a little Excel speadsheet called mini-footy stars, which basically is little caricatures of footballers (old and new) whom you have to identify, if anyone would like a copy to while away the hours until August 7th then drop me an e-mail address on my home space.
