WTF? I didn't even tip an I got deducted points. Getting penalised for not being around is genuinely harsh.

To be fair to those who tip & run the risk of getting a minus score I have to apply it to non-tippers too, or some might choose take the "0" instead.

Sorry tho, but you're free to tip all games in advance.

Discrimination against tactically aware tippers who feel a match may be unpredictable and that not taking the gamble is the better option!

Yeesh. These favourties being knocked out isn't doing wonders for the scoring. Everyone either backed the Dutch or didn't predict at all so gets a -3, but quite a few of you predicted a van Nistelrooy goal, so get a point for that to give you all -2 for the game. Clapo & Somers get 3s for backing the teams to be level at the break to get even 0s & star man altoz went both the HT draw & an RVN goal to register our solitary positive score for the game.

Overall

1) Clapo 74
2) 99* 69
=3) NUFAN 67
=3) altoz 67
5) Halsey 65

8) Threes 61

14) cpr 44
15) steds 43
16) Jamee 40
17) Rubble 22
18) jammay 16
19) Pup Clarke -3
20) SupaFreak -8


Who knew zero was such a good score? By staying out of the red for the day Clapo now holds a 5-point lead. Tozzer's 1 moves him up to a share of third.

**** Virgin media, which i guess would make them change there name.

Stupid ****s at virgin-media cost me points, bastards, who'd of thought when they took over NTL, they'd take over their ****ing **** rep as well:@

grrr, i was going to tip a russki win in injury time too, honest guv.....

Always hated that **** branson with his stupid ****ing beard and his pathetic publicity stunts, more desperate wannabe then any ****ing oxygen-thief Big Brother contestant.

****ing ***** the ****ing lot of 'em. Scousers giving reassuring messages on the phone-line too, can't think of an accent more likely to wind anyone up then a scally ****er.

Okay, I've calmed.....
