POOL TOTAL
£585
We are playing for £585 in competition four.£585
We began competition four with one hundred and seventeen players on board and between us we selected sixteen teams...
63 - Rangers
19 - Liverpool
07 - Stoke
03 - Aston Villa
03 - Chelsea
03 - Middlesbrough
03 - Motherwell
03 - Swansea
02 - Celtic
02 - Dunfermline
02 - Spurs
01 - Hibs
01 - Fulham
01 - Nottm For
01 - Partick
01 - Watford
And both Hatchet and Roffey failed to enter a selection which therefore resulted on their early departure from the competition.
The majority of those exiting at round one came at the aptly named Bet365 stadium where seven went for the hosts and recently relegated Stoke City to take care of Brentford,Afobe had the Potters one up after twenty nine minutes however on the 66th Watkins equalised for the Bees and to the dismay of Bluejersey,Foreverblue,Haitch,Jf1960,Laloyal,Mandingo and Rfb1872 the match was to finish at 1-1 and out all seven went.
There was much Laffter to be heard on the forum when the result came in from Tynecastle on Saturday afternoon - Hearts 1 - 0 Celtc with a screamer from big Kyle doing the business and this was to KO both Itstherangersforme ( not living up to his name ) and Titch who for whatever reason sided with the filth.
Two of you fancied Dunfermline at home versus Ross County,in all honesty although the fifers are my favourites for promotion,on paper this was always going to be a tricky tie and so it proved,Mullin put the visitors one up on the 25th minute with Dunfermlines Longridge equalising three minutes later however three minutes before the interval Gardyne had the Staggies back in front again and when Watson scored a third on 68 it was game over for Dunfermline and the two players who selected them - Thebanteryears and Thepaceman.
Motherwell were strongly fancied by previous winner Ibroxbear,Larrymac and Zbno but out they went at the very first hurdle as the Well lost zero one to their nearest and dearest in the the Lanarkshire derby,although had much of the play and the better of the chances a goal from Hamiltons Boyd ( there first shot on target ) in the 67th minute virtually stole all three points and in turn sent three of our players packing early doors.
The other two fallers at the very first hurdle were Coopergaz who selected Fulham to fend off Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage however the Eagles proved too strong for newly promoted Fulham as goals from Schlupp ( 41 ) and Zaha ( 79 ) secured all three points for the visitors in a two nil win and Dentalbear who selected Hibs to win away at McDiarmid Park,an own goal from Mallan on the 22nd minute had the Saints one up and although Shaw was to equalise for the spoonburners it was to finish all square and out went Dental.
So from the sixteen teams selected only six failed to deliver and at the first round we lost eighteen players...
