Hello again everybody and welcome to Guess The Goal 🥅 for 2023/24!
This competition is for AWAY GAMES including the Cups as drawn until the Final! 😃👍
Hopefully there will be some cracking European Away fixtures, this season!
This is your introduction to Guess the Goal🥅. Players guess the minute a goal will be scored in the away games during this season.
It’s either our goal or an unfriendly one but it’s still a goal and it scores you points! That’s the basis of this game.
How this works on H&V.
I post a clearly labelled single match thread in Heroes Discussion. You choose which minute of that match a goal will be scored, posting your guess in there before Kick Off.
I post scores at the end of the Guess thread shortly (24/48 hours) after the end of the match.
The Table appears in here, updated after every 2 or 3 rounds.
We play men’s away and Cup competitions. If there’s a chance this season, we’ll play an Aston Villa Women’s team fixture again! 👍
Excited yet? There’s more....
How many points can I score and how do I win?
Scoring your Guess:
Spot on the minute - 11 points!!! 🌟 denoted by a star!
Up to 1 minute away 10 points.
Up to 2 minutes 9 points.
Up to 3 minutes 8 points.
Up to 4 minutes 7 points
Up to 5 minutes 6 points
Up to 6 minutes 5 points
Up to 7 minutes 4 points
Up to 8 minutes 3 points
Up to 9 minutes 2 points
Entering the round 1 point 😁
No goals - everyone gets a point for playing the round! 😃
Bonuses like scoring double points for Wild Things happen in random months in the season!
HOW TO PLAY
You post a guess identifying any minute of the match between 0 to 90.
e.g. 5. 13. 29. 34. 48. 57. 61. 72. 86. 90 and any variation on this theme.
If you want to guess an extra time goal, use 45+ and 90+; no specific minutes are needed.
Any Goal scored within reach of your Guess scores you points!!!
This means that a good guess can net you 20 + points when we play Liverpool. 🤞
Points per goal are awarded for the minute a goal is published as being scored, on the BBC.
Rounds are launched up to a few days before a match. I avoid overlapping rounds and there will be some very short run-ins, so be prepared! 8)
Results for a Round are posted at the end of that thread and the updated Table appears in here. The final result will be posted here at the end of the season.
You’re always welcome to post comments and questions about GTG in here, thanks. If it makes more sense in the thread, fair enough!
Really Important Bit
You post just One Guess of just one minute in a round.
And
No editing of that post, please.
For the worried:
If you’ve accidentally posted The Wrong Minute, 3+ digits, a dodgy emoji, a gif or a flight of random apostrophes, then Do Not Edit, post again and tell me why and that this is your real Guess. It could work.
For the opportunistic / litigious:
You can’t have a second guess by this method. Your first must be a GTG 🥅 disaster.
Look What You Could Win!

Chap and frank are leading the way! Well played so far! 👏🥂👍
Darren’s not far behind…
The spot-on 🌟 is for guessing a goal to the minute and scoring (at least) 11 in a round. Some of us have picked up points from more than one goal, which is always good news 😃 especially if they’re all Villa goals, of course.
All H&Vers are welcome to join GTG🥅 at any point, as you can climb the table very quickly if the goals go your way. (You just have to remember to guess, as I found out last round.🫢)
Guess The Goal Round 8 will launch in Heroes Discussion next week, in time for the Euro Conference League match v AZ Alkmaar on 26th October. Go for it!!

Brilliant guessing again, darren, you’re beginning to open up a significant lead at the top of the table!🥁🎺🎉🥳
Congratulations to our new spot-on 🌟s, you’ll see that nordenvillain and Godfrey Brian have both added to their respective achievements, during the Fulham match. It was strange that nobody got any of the 5 goals v Sheff Utd, you’d have thought the odds were in favour.
Welcome to frankbarr and Londonfranky - you’re allowed to keep guessing (!) and I hope everyone who’s had a bit of a break since Christmas or even before that, will have a go again. There’s still time to guess in Round 20, Luton v Villa, before KO later this afternoon.
As always, let me know if there’s a surprise e.g. you have disappeared from the Table; it’s my typing, not a dastardly plot. I’ll reinstate you immediately!👍
Everything is crossed for Unai and The Lads this afternoon.👏🤞🙏🏼

Many Congratulations to our winner for 2023/2024: 🎺 darren woolley!!!!🤩🔥🎯👏🥁
What an achievement, you’ve led the Table since December. Cracking stuff and brilliant guessing!🍾
Very well played to frank, just nudged into second place, this time. Super guessing again! 💐👏🥁✨
Well played as well, to Godfrey Brian 🌟🌟 and Chap who finished on a 🌟 🥂
It was lovely to see everyone who played last season, as well as those of you joining in as Villa scored more and more - AND great to see Ollie Watkins get the Premier League Playmaker Award today for his record beating combined goals and assists performance! We noticed!
We’re ending in fourth place, on a Champions League high, so have a great summer and I hope to meet you all again after the break, when once more we’ll Guess The Goal 🥅 wherever The Mighty Villa play away; and there’ll be some stunning European venues, next season!
