Tonight, my home-town team will decide for me, in a
randomish manner, where I am going for FA Cup action this coming Saturday. West Brom are at home to Hull City in the
League Cup. I have linked twelve
possible scoring outcomes to the twelve ties at “unvisited” grounds that I am
choosing from tonight.
It is not random in the mathematically strict sense
because all twelve outcomes are not equally likely, but I have no control over
what happens. The Cup ties are in the
order that the balls came out of the FA’s velvet bag in the draw, the last scorer
outcomes (except for first and last) are in order of shirt number.
It’s randomish enough, and will keep my interest in a
League Cup match going to the end, which with West Brom has been hard enough in
recent years, as shown from my one and only WBA blogpost.

Anyway, here we go … it is the LAST person to score for
WBA tonight either in regular time, extra-time or in a penalty shootout who
decides. Hull goals don’t count.
EDIT: own-goals by any Hull player don't count either (not yet happened at time of edit).

UPDATE:
Here's what happened. The initial position of Warrington Town v Sheffield was blown away after 15 minutes by Brown Ideye's first Albion goal, and for most of the evening it looked as if I would be at Chorley v Glossop North End. Cleethorpes Town's chances evaporated as Victor Anichebe was subbed. Hull City had by this time taken an irrelevant 2-1 lead. Then, drama, as for a minute, and only a minute, Gareth McAuley tried to send me to Blackfield and Langley with a volleyed equaliser before sub Saido Berahino scored a late, late winner for the Baggies - and so it is Shortwood United v Oxford City for me on Saturday. Gloucestershire, a county for which I have some ancestral connections. Great stuff, and thank you as ever for your interest and good humour.
