RR Foreign Legion - Across the Pond - View from Texas

After a return to Reading from a less successful than expected trip to the seaside, the Royals prepare to 'entertain' the Blackburn Rovers at Madejski Stadium. It's certainly not Fortress Madejski, but perhaps a few sandbags and an abatis or two (see below) can be put up in the effort to slow the tenth-ranked Rovers, with 57 points coming into this match. Perhaps not quite fresh coming off a tough 0-1 loss to Liverpool, Blackburn did dispatch Leeds 3-0 last Saturday, so they have a more recent win than our Royals - perhaps we can get a win this Saturday? How do you predict this match will end? Points System 10 points - correct result e.g. you predict Reading 3-1 Wolves and the result is Reading 3-1 Wolves 8 points - correct draw e.g. you predict Reading 1-1 Wolves and the result is Reading 2-2 Wolves 7 points - correct outcome with correct goal difference e.g. you predict Reading 1-0 Wolves and the result is Reading 2-1 Wolves 5 points - correct outcome with incorrect goal difference e.g. you predict Reading 3-1 Wolves and the result is Reading 1-0 Wolves 1 point - if you get the prediction completely wrong, you still get one point for taking part! Bonus Points You get bonus points for three things: 2 points - correct half-time score 5 points - correct goalscorer (NOTE: this season you get points for correctly predicting the goalscorers of both Reading AND their opposition. You only get the points if the team score the same amount of goals as you predicted or more. This prevents prediction of ridiculous scorelines for more points.) 5 points - correctly predicting the 'bonus question'. Please put the score in this format: Reading 3-2 Wolves (HT: 1-0) Hector Taylor Murray Henry Evans ...followed by your answer to the 'bonus question'... Match bonus question is: what will be the average time for all goals scored by Reading in this match, according to the final BBC stats? Credit will be given for answers not more than 5 minutes (tighter limit here!) away from the average time for all Reading goals as posted by the BBC. If you expect that the match will go without a Reading goal (~shudder~), please submit 0:00 as your guess for this question. Note that the BBC do post in their play-by-play the actual times of goals in added time (example, 90+2:15), and that is the time to be used for the average (in the example, 92:15 would be used), so the average could possibly be above 90 minutes. Good luck with your predictions, good luck to the Royals and a happy 201st anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Fontainebleau, ending the War of the Sixth Coalition against Napoleon Bonaparte, forcing him to abdicate unconditionally for the first time! *Abatis, abattis, or abbattis is a term in field fortification for an obstacle formed (in the modern era) of the branches of trees laid in a row, with the sharpened tops directed outwards, towards the enemy. These were commonly used in warfare from the Roman times through the Napoleonic wars. Edited by Owlish52, 9 Apr 2015, 07:17 AM.
