Whatever your FT prediction you get two more chances, as per cups.

Predict the goals ONLY IN EXTRA TIME (if the game goes to E-T)

This is just to maintain interest for all competitors...

IF Extra Time

Brentford 0-0 Swansea HT
=============================
Brentford 0-1 Swansea FT (Ayew (P) (120)


Then, whatever you predicted for th 90-minute game, or Extra Time...

IF PENS

Brentford 3-4 Swansea



================================================================

Not my final prediction, but if I forget to post, use this

[Snowball]

Easiest way is to cut and paste my prediction and change as necessary.

I've added

First Scorer
First Home Scorer
First Away Scorer

for extra interest, extra points. If you predict one or both sides to fail to score
you get a bonus point for each.

First Overall Scorer Earns

10 Points "Exact" Time (plus or minus 1 Minute, BBC News timing)
06 Points Nearest Prediction (if within 3 minutes)
04 Points Correct First Goal-Scorer, Correct Half
02 Points Correct First Goal-Scorer, Wrong Half

If your Primary Goal-Scorer was on the pitch or IS on the pitch
and your alternate scores, then half these points.

If your primary did not start and is not on the pitch. (ie INJ or SUB)
then your alternate scores full points.

POINTS for "First Scorer for Team X"

Half the points for First Overall Scorer.

Example

Brentford v Swansea

First OVERALL Scorer Toney, alt Canos (Brentford) (19)
First Brentford Scorer Toney, alt Canos (Brentford) (19)
First Swansea Scorer Ayew, alt Lowe (Swansea) (45)

"45", BTW includes 45, 45+1, 45+2 etc

Toney scores first in 20th minute. Lowe equalises 45th

First OVERALL Scorer Toney, alt Canos (Brentford) (19) 10 Points

This is worth double points because it's "First Overall"

First Brentford Scorer Toney, alt Canos (Brentford) (19) 05 Points
First Swansea Scorer Ayew, alt Lowe (Swansea) (45) 03 Points (rounded up*)

These are worth standard points because they are not so specific

This means that getting the first overall scorer right is worth 15 points,
but if the other side scores first and your selection scores first
for example, FOR BRENTFORD (after Swansea scored) you still can earn points



Getting the first (Primary) scorers right (and "exact") can earn 20 Points MAX


*In the event of both "alts" winning half-points, the rounding won't happen

eg Canos and Lowe 5 + 2.5 + 2.5 = 10

NOBODY IS FORCING YOU to add scorers or sequence, but IF you do then
it's possible to get a hat-full of points.

The bonus for Correct Format covers only this bit:

Brentford 1-1 Swansea HT
===================================
Brentford 4-1 Swansea FT

Brentford to Score First in First Half (Toney, 19 Minutes) <<<<<

If you DO want to predict Overall/Home/Away Scorers
and want to Predict a sequence then, to get points you
do need to follow the format.

Oh God, I hope not!

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Sorry Snowball, just got a feeling its another Brentford bottle job.....they're always likely to concede at some point and just think Swansea will score first and sit in

[tidus_mi2]

If Swansea can get themselves ahead I can see them just holding Brentford at bay. They drew both games 1-1 this season so I think it's likely to be a close, low scoring game.

[Snowball]

Sorry Snowball, just got a feeling its another Brentford bottle job.....they're always likely to concede at some point and just think Swansea will score first and sit in

It's a very possible scenario, but The International Court of Justice
in The Hague has been put on notice.

The idea of such a boring, almost anti-football side stopping
(what I think is) the best footballing side from going up would
be a triple-whammy.

First we'd have to face Brentford again next year

Second, a side that couldn't beat us goes up

Third, Swansea would be seriously embarrassed in the
Prem and would bring The Championship into disrepute

[Snowball]

I've booked a Saturday Evening call with The Samaritans, just in case.

That’s a surprise!

Have Swans scored three this season?

[genome]

Nice early goal

Brentford 1-0 Swansea

[genome]

Aww, Swansea finally finding out what it's like to be stuffed before half-time in the playoff final

[Orion1871]

Oh well, looks like another two games of being embarrassed by Swansea again next season then.

[Snowball]

Oh well, looks like another two games of being embarrassed by Swansea again next season then.

They’ll have a mid table season and we’ll take at least four points off them

[tidus_mi2]

Yep this game is over, Swansea do tight wins, they aren't clawing back from 2-0, nor do they look capable.

[genome]

Nice of the commentators to mention 1995
