Re: FA Cup & Prediction League 2024
The first game of the 3rd round ended in a 0-0 draw between Crystal Palace and Everton, with Everton having Calvert-Lewin controversially sent off after a VAR review (I’m sure the Colonel will have something to say bout that). Not seen the highlights but doesn’t sound like a very inspiring game!!

Re: FA Cup & Prediction League 2024
I’ve since seen the sending off incident and even though C-L went in with his studs showing, there appeared to be very minimal contact - the Palace player doesn’t help the matter by making a meal of it and the end result was a red card - looks very harsh, but that’s VAR for you!!Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 5:25 am The first game of the 3rd round ended in a 0-0 draw between Crystal Palace and Everton, with Everton having Calvert-Lewin controversially sent off after a VAR review (I’m sure the Colonel will have something to say bout that).

Re: FA Cup & Prediction League 2024
What happened to the Prediction League? I see there's nothing on SuperBru. I thought, I'd forgotten to make picks, but there doesn't seem to be a league.
Championship Plymouth Argyle 3 - 3 Preston NE (was 3-0 down after 48 minutes)
Points 12; Position 21

I guess they didn't offer one this year?

Re: FA Cup & Prediction League 2024
PHarveys post above mentions that the predictor won’t come in until after round 3, so it should be available for the next round?

Re: FA Cup & Prediction League 2024
From memory, last season's Superbru FA Cup Tournament came in at Round 4. I believe the draw for the 4th Round is on Jan 8th, so presume Superbru will add the competition shortly afterwards.Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 10:54 am PHarveys post above mentions that the predictor won’t come in until after round 3, so it should be available for the next round?

Re: FA Cup & Prediction League 2024
I remember being able to choose Plymouth Argyle as the team I support last season. It is unusual, although not unheard of, for them to make it to Round 4. However, it will be a travesty if they don't make it to Round 4 this season.

Re: FA Cup & Prediction League 2024
You’re memory must be deceiving you BB - Plymouth went out to Grimsby last season in an earlier round - it was the year before that they beat Birmingham to go into the 4th round before losing to Chelsea 2-1

Re: FA Cup & Prediction League 2024
Apparently you played Chelsea away in last season's FA Cup 4th Round......
[EDIT] Sorry - just seen above post...

Re: FA Cup & Prediction League 2024
And the "Gunners" have gone!! Dumped out in the 3rd Round.... Arse 0 - Liverpool 2
Didn't get to see the match, just some highlights - seems Liverpool were far from their best in the 1st half..... But some changes made for the 2nd paid dividends (though very late on).
I wonder when it was the last time Arsenal went out in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup?
Hopefully, the "HHF/Superbru Prediction League" will be up and running in the next week or so.

Re: FA Cup & Prediction League 2024
I too only managed to watch the highlights and Arsenal certainly had enough chances to score before Liverpool did - looked like a very entertaining game!!pharvey wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 4:15 am And the "Gunners" have gone!! Dumped out in the 3rd Round.... Arse 0 - Liverpool 2

Re: FA Cup & Prediction League 2024
Chances galore from both teams - certainly Arsenal more so than Liverpool in the 1st Half. It's a wonder really it was a 0-2 score line.Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 5:43 am I too only managed to watch the highlights and Arsenal certainly had enough chances to score before Liverpool did - looked like a very entertaining game!!
Hell though, I'm hardly the expert of the sport!!
