Following on from Red Rain's report, I've been thinking about how I am entertained when watching the Reds. I've developed a points system for evaluating the entertainment value of a match. Here are my points for various events that can happen during a match: - Shot off target: Reds +2 points, opposition 0, missed by a mile +10 and a giggle Shot on target: Reds +10 points, opposition -10, great save +10 Yellow card: Reds -5 points, opposition +5, followed by a tantrum +15 Red card: Reds -20 points, opposition +25, having to be dragged off the pitch +50 Corner: Reds +5 points, opposition -5 Hit woodwork: Reds +30 points, opposition -30, when easier to score +20 Miss open goal: Reds -20 points, opposition +50 Own goal by: Reds -100 points, opposition +500 points, getting boot tangled in net +800 points Great save: Reds +10 points, opposition -5 Goal by: Reds +500 points, opposition -200 Result: Reds win: +8 million points, draw +50, defeat -4 million
Good point Helen. This could also apply to the officials, another +500 points to be awarded if they become horizontal.
Another great suggestion, it will be interesting to see how things develop as winter takes hold. Maybe the beanie hat might make another appearance? If so, I'd award +150 points.
I get it, it can take away enjoyment. -800 is a bit much though. they're gone soon enough and you should be able to enjoy the game still.
Surely that depends on the female though. Erica Roe lookalike. +1000 points. Fat slag lookalike -1000
Half time pork pie +50 points. Fan throwing peppa pig at opponent +1000 points Bloke coming on tannoy to tell someone to shift their car +5 points Opponent being 'eased' head first into the hoardings/over the west stand fence +15 points Opposition manager having an aneurysm on the touchline +20 points. I suspect the actual football might be fairly secondary when it comes to the entertainment.
Toby Tyke kicking a goalbound shot off our goal line with Collins beaten. Infinite points and properly side splitting laughter. Edit; Opposition players' and Manager's reaction would be fairly amusing too.
This geezer still makes my Oakwell experience. You can barely hear him, and when you can, it's "would the owner of a Fiat Corsa Mondeo, registration YJ09 XVW, that's Yankee Kilo 99, Hotel, Beta Whisky Foxtrot Echo..... "
