FA Cup Upsets Game - Round Two
One-off Weekend Game



Here’s the new fun competition, and as last time it’s a one-off, so make a prediction and then sit back and enjoy! It’s a game orientated to your forum, but we’re doing this as last time on the Reading, Blackpool and Peterborough forums – a small but select group!

Have a look at the teams on the FA Cup Round TWO programme - there are League 1, League 2, National Conference and even lower included on the list. I'd like to invite you to call for FIVE matches where you see a possible upset on the cards! By upset, it must obviously be a lower league side winning (or at least drawing) against a higher league side. You haven't got to give any score, simply guess the match of the successful 'smaller clubs' or ‘minnow’ teams! If you get it wrong doesn’t matter at all, you don’t get awarded points for that particular game or games – and that will surely apply to all of us.

So … how do you get points?
If in your selected games a lower league side does indeed win you have 3 points. If the lower league side force a replay then it is 1 point (note - doesn’t matter if they later lose the replay). But ... bonus - if you choose an real ‘upset’ (win/draw) – a team from a league TWO tiers OR MORE lower their opponents then those points are DOUBLED.


To help you, use the asterisks by the games list to make an easy-peasy selection:

one asterisk (*) = one tier difference /
two asterisks (**) = two or more tier differences /
Meanwhile “ --- ” on the list of matches means this prediction is not valid, it’s no cup upset if teams are from the same tier league!

This is the real betting man's stuff - the more you risk with tier difference the more points you get, but there again, an upset is much less likely!! So you need to weigh things up!!

Yes, but I believe Clyde was on steroids, and I have asked the IOC to investigate! :)

I have absolutely no idea about these, but sticking a pin in seemed to work last time, though it did no good to the computer monitor at all. So here goes:

** Salford City VS Hartlepool United
* Cambridge United VS Doncaster Rovers
* Welling United VS Carlisle United
** Grimsby Town VS Shrewsbury Town
** Stourbridge VS Eastleigh
