Celtic Still On Target

As you know Golden Goals are still keeping an eye on Celtic this season to see if they can beat last season’s record run of playing a total of 47 league/cup games and scoring a total of 134 goals. That record was to score in all of their league and their two domestic cup competitions without getting a blank score sheet.

In week thirteen at this stage last season Celtic had played a total of fifteen league/cup games and netted a total of 39 goals. This Season Celtic have played fourteen games and scored a total of 38 goals. So although they have played one game less than at this stage last season, they are just a goal behind so far to date.

No Goals From Newcastle

NEWCASTLE have dropped down to 9^th place in the Premiership after they lost 1-0 away to Burnley. Newcastle have now had a total of four blank score sheets out of their eleven league/cup games played this season.

Week Thirteen

In Week Thirteen of the competition we have had another three winners to share the cash on a total of 8 goals, which is the lowest score to win yet. Two of our winners picked up their very first win of the season and that brings our winners total to 22 while our third picked up his second win. Our winners are AMANDA MORRISON, BOB SOPER and ZIGGY (John Wood).

Amanda is in her third season with Golden Goals and she is the fourth lady to win this season. In her first season in 2015/16, Amanda finished in 54^th place out of 119 on a total of 252 goals.  Last season she finished in 102^nd place with 263 goals. This season Amanda has picked up her highest score to date and the very first lot of cash since she started with us. First place is her highest to date in week one. With no blank score sheets, Amanda’s best team is Manchester City. Bob has picked up his second win since week six where he won the first Rollover of the season. He has had a total of three blank score sheets and his best team is Manchester City. This week is Bob’s highest position of the season. John has been with the competition for twenty-one seasons and I would like to thank him for his support over the years. John started with us back in the 1997/98 Season on where he finished in 87^th place on 209 goals he had to share a weekend win and picked up just 57 pence. How we have changed since then?. Last season John with Ziggy finished in 129^th place on 224 goals picking up three wins worth just under £15 in cash. This season John/Ziggy has had just one blank score sheet and his highest position is number nine in week one. His best team is Rangers. Our winners teams are

Week Eleven

In Week eleven of the competition we had our second Rollover of our 35^th Season worth £12 and that was won on our highest score of the season with 17 goals. It was CHRIS BOOM who picked up that fantastic score but he was just two goals sort of picking up the Beat the Score Jackpot of another £65 cash. Chris also becomes the first player to win twice this season as he had to share the cash in week seven. So a great season for Chris already as he picks up his highest score and his highest position of the season.

Chris started with Golden Goals back in our 2008/09 Season on where he finished in 31^st place on 262 goals. Last season he finished in 90^th place on 270 goals. His best team for this season is Peterhead scoring 32 of his total of 93 goals.

CELTIC 1, MANCHESTER CITY 7, PETERHEAD 9

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT

They came from Rangers 3 and Stenhousemuir 1 taking his midweek total to 25 goals. His third team is Scunthorpe. So the race for the cash has remained as the same as last weeks leaders once again.

In first place we have RICKY WOOD with 36 goals. In joint second place both on 35 goals we have PHIL FRANCKSEN and CHRIS SETFORD. In third place we have TONY GUY (2) and JULIE SOMERVILLE on 34 goals. With 33 goals in joint fourth place we have SIMON DICKINSON, MATT DORAN, GRAHAM PHILLIPS, DAVE WOOD and back in then race TONY KING.  

WEEKEND RESULTS

This weekend the average score was just 4 goals which is a great surprise. All but three of you picked up some goals and we had some really highest scores this weekend. The reason for such a low average score is that eighteen of our teams failed to score any goals.

The highest score that we had over the weekend came from the Scottish WILLIAM HILL CUP Second Round where PETERHEAD won 9-0  at home to non-league team Colville Park. With their highest score to date and for us this season, Peterhead are now on a total of 32 goals and they have just one vote.

Peterhead started with Golden Goals in the 2005/06 Season where they were voted in as our 32^nd Scottish team. They finished on a score of 63 goals which is their highest score to date. Peterhead are in their third season with us and last season they finished on a total of 58 goals. They have now scored a total of 153 goals which gives them an average score of 50 goals per season to date.
