This Pools Panel of yours is losing credibility week after week.

B

Rubbish! It was an accident. The players selected tactically, the computer acted like a dumb computer and the 'stronger' teams went out and played like a big girl's blouse


Now if anyone can find out who the hell scored the single goal in the Sloboda Tuzla v Lierse match, I would be most grateful.

All a bit of a disaster this week I'm afraid

UEFA are absolutely useless at updating their own website, so I've been wandering around the fan sites of Europe looking for the results and scorers. You know I never though that they had message boards in Moldova, but they do

Anyway the results, as best as I can find them:

Sloboda Tuzla 1-0 Lierse SK (I don't know the scorer, but as all those who named one named a Belgian, I think I'm on fairly safe ground to say no one got any scorer points out of this game)

Dacia Chisinau 2-0 Partizani Tirana (GOLBAN, Orbu)

Slovan Liberec 2-0 Shamrock Rovers (ZAPOOCNY, Grant[og])

Orgryte IS Goteborg 3-2 Nice (DE CASTILHO, Cherrad, Alves Martins)

Marek Dupnitsa 1-1 VfL Wolfsberg (KLIMPOWICZ, Bibiskov)



The Points:

Otto Fisch - 2 points (Liberec result)

Tonto - 4 points (Tuzla, Goteberg result)

Egon - 6 points (Chisinau, Goteberg & Dupnitsa result)

Kiltedjedi - 6 points (Tuzla result & score, Goteberg result, Pools Panel scorer)

Master B - all I'm afraid

Robin - 5 points (Tuzla & Goteberg result, Liberec scorer)

Ormondroyd - 5 points (Chisinau result, Liberec result & score)

Number Six - 2 points (Liberec result)

GreyDesk - 5 points (Liberec result, Goteberg scorer, Dupnitsa scorer & 1st scorer)


So that makes Egon and Kiltedjedi as our joint weekly winners.

**wonders if he should play dirty and ask for a Pools Panel next week**

B

Pools Panel results are usually not that great in comparison to real life picks. This week was won with 6 points and that is damn low in comparison to most weeks -- when Robin won the last proper season in May the weekly average was more than 10.

I stand by my assertion that having a rack of home wins for the supposed 'weaker' teams was a freak result.

The Sloboda Tuzla scorer was some geezer by the name of Kuduzoyic.

Ok, so that's not a terribly helpful piece of information, but at least now you know it

So you're saying that it's our fault for being rubbish rather than the Pools Panel being any good?

I personally think that everyone who has used the PP should be disqualified, which makes me a rather credible third place in the league.

B

...and if we disqualify you for the use of the Pools Panel back in season five, it would cover up your miserable performance of ninth place

Second bottom seems to be my God-given position, sadly.

I've been playing this bloody game since Season 3 and haven't been weekly winner once.

B

You came pretty close with the Playoff Finals round. You came second that week on four points, where as Ormy, Otto and Egon managed a measley two points between the lot of them!

Only because I knew Lincoln were going to get their b*stard a*ses whupped by the Cherries.
