Last Nights Results

After winning in the week against Peterhead in the cup, RANGERS won again playing in their first Championship league game of the season last night, with a 3-1 home win against St Mirren. Rangers have a total of just 21 votes this season and they are now on a goals total of 6 and a good start to the season for them.

The English started last night with their first Championship game where BRIGHTON took on NOTTINGHAM FOREST at home. The result went to Brighton 1-0.
Brighton has just one vote this season and the last time that we saw them was back in our 2012/13 Season where they finished on 73 goals. This is their 12th season with Golden Goals.
Although Forest picked up their very first blank score sheet of the season, last season they had a run of nine games before picking up their first blank score sheet. They finished on 75 goals with just one vote. This season they have three votes.

Our Best Season Ever

After 15 long years we have finally beaten our Golden Goals record number of entries from our 1999/00 Season of 111.
This season which will be our 33rd, we will be starting with a grand total of 119 which is fantastic news. But it is a shame that there were no-one looking at this blog that took up the challenge.

Still our Champion this season will be picking up £100 in prize money which will be our fourth consecutive season that we have paid out this amount of cash.

The Golden Goals season will be starting this weekend so we will as in the past, be bring you right up to date with the teams that have been picked for this season and how our 119 players are doing with their three teams.
We will be starting with thirteen past Champions and YES, last seasons Champion Toby Bicknell will be there too. Our best Champion Laurie King is also playing once again. 
Laurie is top of our Champions League as he holds the record for the best number of goals from his three teams back in our 2001/02 Season with 355 goals.

Scottish Season Starts

Although Golden Goals 33^rd Season has not yet started till this weekend coming, our Scottish teams have already started theirs.

They started with the First Round of the Scottish Communities League Cup where we saw nine of our teams in action to date. Six have made it through to the next round and they are FALKIRK after they won 5-0 at home to East Stirling with the highest result in the competition. HEARTS they won 4-2 at home to Arbroath. QUEEN OF THE SOUTH with a 4-3 away win over Annan Athletic. BERWICK won 3-2 at home to Alloa to pick up their very first goals with Golden Goals. HIBERNIAN won 3-0 at home to Montrose while RANGERS did the same winning 3-0 at home to Peterhead.

Teams out are QUEENS PARK as they lost 2-0 at home to Forfar and CLYDE losing 1-0 away to Livingston. STENHOUSEMUIR lost 2-0 away to Stranraer.

In the Scottish Premiership, CELTIC got their title race under way with a 2-0 home win over Ross County while HEARTS, playing in their second game of the season, won 4-3 at home to St Johnstone. Hearts have now scored eight goals in just two games. ABERDEEN won 1-0 away to Dundee Utd 

All of these goals, if you have these teams, will count as midweek goals. The English season will start this weekend and so will Golden Goals. So keep on looking here to see how your teams are getting on in this our 33^rd consecutive season.

Five Days Left To Join In

We have just five days left for you to get your teams in for our 2015/16 Season before we close the book this coming Friday. Here is our third update on what’s been going on here at the Golden Goals HQ over the past week.

To date we now have had a total of 85 entry forms back but we still need plenty more so we can break that record of 111 from our 1999/00 Season. There seems to be a lot of you from last season who have still not entered your teams yet?

Celtic are still in the lead with the most number of votes with 50 out of the 85 with Manchester City still following up behind them with 36. Arsenal are now up into third place with 24 votes while Chelsea move down to fourth place with 23. Derby are still in fifth place with 16 votes. Manchester United are sixth with just 12 votes. We have now had a total of 44 teams playing in our next season.

We still have four teams that have made all 33 seasons and they are Celtic, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United. 

The good news is that Burton Albion will be making their first ever appearance with the competition as they get their first vote in our 33^rd season.

We have had eight new players to the competition and hope that we will see more in the last enrolment week. We still have just eleven of our past Champions back this season.

12 Days To Go!

Here is the second of our up date’s on what’s been going on here at the Golden Goals HQ as the new entry form for the coming season have now been out for two weeks with just 12 days to go before we close the book..

To date we have had 72 entry forms back and we still want plenty more so we can break that record of 111 in our 1999/00 Season.

So has the voting changed around since the first up date? No not really. Celtic still in the lead with the most number of votes with 45 out of the 72 in with Manchester City still following up behind with 33. Chelsea are still third with 22 while Arsenal are still fourth with 20 votes. Derby are still in fifth place with 14 votes.

So if you are thinking about these as part of your combination, then please think again as Arsenal, Derby, Manchester City and Chelsea, Celtic and Manchester city are the most wanted combination and with even with these teams swapped round, they have now all gone.

The good news is that we are going to see some more teams that we have had not seen for a while. They are Clyde and Exeter.

Up Date Number One

I thought that would give you an update on what’s been going on here at the Golden Goals HQ as the new entry form for the coming season have now been out for a week.

I would like to think that we are just over or half way to our target of beating that 111 record entries.

To date we have had just 59 entry forms back and we have had no forms back in the last 48 hours.

But we still have three weeks before the book closes and am sure that we will see that number rise.

So how are we voting this season? Well it seems that Celtic have taken up the most number of votes with 40 out of the 59 in with Manchester City following up behind with 28. Chelsea are third with 18 while Arsenal are fourth with 17 votes. Derby are fifth with 12 votes. So if you are thinking about these as part of your combination, then please think again as Arsenal, Derby, Manchester City and Chelsea, Celtic and Manchester city are the most wanted combination and with even with these teams swapped round, they have now all gone.

I would like to welcome five new players to the competition and hope that we will see more in the coming weeks.

But what about the rest of the world? we have had no interest as of yet but hope that you might want to see how it's played. For the entry form and rules you can email me at goldengoals1983@gmail.com 

Season 33 Now Up And Running

Yesterday was the launch of our next season of Golden Goals number 33. It was one of the craziest opening days yet in the competition.

We had a total of 45 entry forms back by end of play last night and one of the most popular combinations was Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City or Arsenal, Celtic, Derby.

The voting is going all one way with Scottish Champions Celtic picking up 29 of the 45 combinations followed by Rangers with just 4 votes. With the English teams it was Manchester City well in the lead with 21 followed by Arsenal and Chelsea both with 12 votes each.

We have had a few teams that have missed several seasons with us including Hull, Ipswich and Scottish Hibernian.

It was also nice to see five new players to the comp and we would like to say a big welcome to them.

But we would like to see more of you out there in the big wide world.
