Can I just take this opportunity to thank BowenBoys for all his painstaking efforts in making this competition such a success.

BowenBoys Posted March 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 I am in frequent contact with UEFA. All parties are aware that a decision on the outcome of this competition will have a knock-on effect for the European Championships, Champions League, national competitions and beyond. This is an unprecedented situation. We must take our time to ensure that we get it right. I thank lady-isobel-barnett for her kind words and for the recent threat communication from her legal team. In the meantime let's all look after each other. Keep Mutley safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowenBoys is a very nice man I'd rather play the remaining rounds behind closed doors to maintain the sporting integrity. Will the Euro 2020 pop-up be postponed to 2021 ?

This must be concluded and not behind closed doors either otherwise elevenone’s legal team will lodge a appeal insisiting those people already eliminated are re-instated. It is for the good of the game and not self interest . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowenBoys Posted October 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Hello. We're back. Pop Up HQ has been deep cleaned and 7 months of dust has been scraped from the spreadsheet. Wish I could make the same claim about my brain. Guess we should recap. Next up, the Semi-finals. Saturday 31 October - Heart of Midlothian v Hibernian Sunday 1 November - Celtic v Aberdeen I have received some selections for these fixtures. In the graphic above, white squares are available selections. X denotes a selection that has been made. Under the circumstances I think it is fair to allow anyone to change their selections if they wish. In any event, I need selections from Arete, Jaggernaut, thistle4celtic1 & Clydebankjag. The original deadline has been extended from 11 April to 5pm, Saturday 31 October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arete Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Just when you're getting on with life up pops the Scottish Cup again. If Celtic win this weekend then I'd be happy if a tier 4 level lockdown for the Final voided the tournament. Thanks for the prompt BowenBoys. I'll take Celtic and Hibs. Might as well try to win.

BowenBoys Posted October 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Have just realised that there is a bonus point question attached to this round. I have only had a few responses to this. At this point I think it best to void this question. It was pretty rubbish anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowenBoys Posted November 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Semi final standings No change at the top. 6 more players drop out and nobody left in has a choice in the final. Only lady-isobel-barnett, Arete & jagfox can win now. 7 points for correct selection of the cup winner. With one more Bonus Point question to come, potentially 8 Bonus Points to be added to totals after the final.

BowenBoys Posted November 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Bonus Point Question 9 Time of the first goal scored in regulation time. If you think it will be 0 - 0 at full time then answer 0. Otherwise, a number between 1 and 90. Official goal time will be taken from the SFA Scottish Cup site. A goal scored in first half added time will be taken as 45. A goal scored in second half added time will be taken as 90. If nobody gets the correct time then a point will be awarded to each player that is closest to the correct time. Deadline for submissions noon, 20 December Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
