Jimbo

a big one this! both from the rivalry as well as the league table positions...

you know the drill...

hard to see much beyond a United victory at the moment 2-0 United Beattie 6500

Another week goes by, no points again this time out - dont know why i support football really - my 2 teams (saints and palace) have 1 point between them in 7 games. Oh well on wards and upwards! Round 6 - Hibs (a) a 2-0 defeat in the capital was another blow to lomas and maybe another nail in the coffin. the team on paper is good enough - more potential fire power this year than we have had for a long time. Its been a slow start to the prediction league with no one really making an early dash. Bluesaint edstar and saintdougie all get 5pts for their correct prediction, bobbykemp duncan08 chips singaporesaint pezza gaz macman weelee montrosesaint all get 2pts for the home win no one got hanlon as the opening scorer a crowd of 9639 (I hope i got it right this week) was there for it - only a few points for this 1pt saintinthecity and sjksjfc, 2pts thomas and 123whoarewe week points 5pts bluesaint edstar saintdougie 2pts thomas 123whoarewe bobbykemp duncan08 chips singaporesaint pezza gaz macman weelee montrosesaint 1pt saintinthecity sjksjfc 24pts RyanGordon86 SingaporeSaint 22pts 20pts AbbotsDeuglieSaint 19pts Southpaw Dylan_Saints Calloway262 18pts 17pts CoastalSaint Edstar101 16pts Jimbo 14pts MrBored TheBlueSaint 12pts FootballTurco Chips 11pts Coltrane SaintDougie Duncan08 10pts R_macDarkbEss BobbyKemp 9pts SteveMcQueen 8pts GhostofJimMorton SaintinExile Pezza 7pts TheInspiration MontroseSaintee 6pts SaintMike1884 5pts PerthPower StanleySaint 4pts Gothlover Davey TheLarkSaint SixtiesSaintee RebelSaint AncientSaint MacMan 123WhoAreWe 3pts StamfordSaintee 2pts RealMadrid Andy SaintintheCity Thomas_sjfc WeeLee#1 Gaz 1pts slf WishIwasJoeMcGurn Compol ejksjfc so a long long way to go yet, an no one is really setting a quick pace - 1 good week for anyone and they will be right in there.

Round 5 - Aberdeen (h) updated to include the correct attendance points... 24pts RyanGordon86 22pts SingaporeSaint 20pts AbbotsDeuglieSaint 19pts Southpaw Dylan_Saints Calloway262 18pts 17pts CoastalSaint 16pts Jimbo 14pts MrBored 12pts FootballTurco Edstar101 11pts Coltrane 10pts R_macDarkbEss Chips 9pts SteveMcQueen TheBlueSaint Duncan08 8pts GhostofJimMorton BobbyKemp SaintinExile 7pts TheInspiration 6pts SaintMike1884 SaintDougie Pezza 5pts MontroseSaintee PerthPower StanleySaint 4pts Gothlover Davey TheLarkSaint SixtiesSaintee RebelSaint AncientSaint 3pts StamfordSaintee 2pts MacMan RealMadrid 123WhoAreWe Andy 1pts SaintintheCity slf WishIwasJoeMcGurn Compol My apologies for the slight technical error there.... just cant get the staff these days... Hopefully this shoudl now be up to date ahead of the weekends games. and I will try and write down the correct attendance number when i work out the points....

Right, since i mucked up ood and proper, I think the best way is to start the attendance points again. I used 4487 rather than the correct value of 4857, consequently that makes quite a difference.... RealMadrid now has his 1pt removed for his attendance punt the first time around (the only person to get any points in the first R5post. But before everyone feels sorry for him... he does get 2pts with the new attendance (so is better off!) Attendance points 3pts inspiration 2pts calloway abbotDeuglieSaint 123whoarewe andy RealMadrid 1pts wishiwasjoemcgurn saintinexile coastalsaint coltrane pezza compol

yep your right, I will have to go through the points again and work them all out. dont know why i wrote down 4487 will up date it later... watch this space

I dont see the games, so maybe that helps or hinders... but we have played 3 league games! 2 of them away at our european rivals - lets just get this in some sort of context. He needs more time for sure, ok i accept the performances may not be good (I havent seen them so i cant comment on that) but sacking a guy after 3 games in the league would seem a bit rash and crazy. if he has been backed through the summer with transfers then he deserves a bit of time to get things to gel. I am not saying I am backing him all the way, far from it. but it would seem crazy to sack him after 270mins of feague football, (I appreciate the tail end of last season was a struggle too). As edstar said, the next 6 games will be the test - if we have played 10 games and are in trouble then that is the time to act, but not now

Still not up to speed yet - predictors and the team.... not too many points to hand out today after a disappointing loss to aberdeen on home turf. Nice quick job for me though, the most time consuming part was trying to work out how to unpin the thread.... (now achieved) Round 5 - Aberdeen (h) no one got davidson as the opening scorer 4487 was the crowd, realmadrid was the only one to get at all close and gets a single point. It must be said that this is argueably the biggest dissappointment of the day - big push for people to come to the game and was still under 4.5k, (and 3 less than last week at motherwell) A few people did get some points though - bobbykemp gets 2pts for predicting the dons win, calloway abbotsDeuglieSaint bluesaint duncan08 all get 5pts for getting the scoreline correct week points 5pts calloway abbotsdeugliesaint bluesaint duncan08 4pts 3pts 2pts bobbykemp 1pts realmadrid 24pts RyanGordon86 22pts SingaporeSaint 19pts Southpaw Dylan_Saints 18pts AbbotsDeuglieSaint 17pts Calloway262 16pts CoastalSaint Jimbo 14pts MrBored 12pts FootballTurco Edstar101 10pts Coltrane R_macDarkbEss Chips 9pts SteveMcQueen TheBlueSaint Duncan08 8pts GhostofJimMorton BobbyKemp 7pts SaintinExile 6pts SaintMike1884 SaintDougie 5pts MontroseSaintee Pezza PerthPower StanleySaint 4pts Gothlover Davey TheInspiration TheLarkSaint SixtiesSaintee RebelSaint AncientSaint 3pts StamfordSaintee 2pts MacMan 1pts SaintintheCity slf RealMadrid no change at the top now for 3 weeks!! come on guys, lets start getting some points!

2-1 saintees beattie 5700

Saints get their season off and running with a first league point. Round 4 - Motherwell (a) So a man sent off again but a point away at motherwell is probably not a bad effort. 6people got the scoreline correct - perthpower southpaw stevemcqueen rebelsaint dylan and stanleysaint. well done to you guys no one got davidson as the opening scorer 4490 was the crowd, abbotdeuliesaint and saintinexile both got 3pts for this week points 5pts southpaw stevemcqueen dylansaint perthpower stanleysaint 4pts 3pts AbbotsDeuglieSaint saintinexile 2pts saintdougie calloway ancientsaint macman 1pts slf stamfordsaint 24pts RyanGordon86 22pts SingaporeSaint 19pts Southpaw Dylan_Saints 16pts CoastalSaint Jimbo 14pts MrBored 13pts AbbotsDeuglieSaint 12pts FootballTurco Edstar101 Calloway262 10pts Coltrane R_macDarkbEss Chips 9pts SteveMcQueen 8pts GhostofJimMorton 7pts SaintinExile 6pts SaintMike1884 BobbyKemp SaintDougie 5pts MontroseSaintee Pezza PerthPower StanleySaint 4pts Gothlover TheBlueSaint Davey TheInspiration TheLarkSaint SixtiesSaintee Duncan08 RebelSaint AncientSaint 3pts StamfordSaintee 2pts MacMan 1pts SaintintheCity slf

I normally give the deadline a couple of games into the season to catch any of the late comers to the prediction league..... get them in soon though... it will close next week!

Back to the day job after the european adventure... Not exactly a great start to the season either. A defeat and a red card at tynecastle as saints slip to a 2-0 defeat. Sutton got the opener for the home side in front of a crowd of 13022. Round 3 - Hearts (a) Pezza was the only correct scoreline this week, but 4 others did go for the hearts win duncan08 singaporesiant bobbykemp ancient and calloway all got a couple of points for the scorer saintinthecity and montrosesaintee get a point for the crowd and stamford was closest and gets 2pts 5pts - pezza 4pts - duncan 2pts - singaporesiant edstar jimbo bobbykemp calloway ancientsaint stamfordsaint rebelsaint 1pts - saintinthecity montrosesaintee 24pts RyanGordon86 22pts SingaporeSaint 16pts CoastalSaint Jimbo 14pts MrBored Southpaw Dylan_Saints 12pts FootballTurco Edstar101 10pts AbbotsDeuglieSaint Coltrane R_macDarkbEss Chips Calloway262 8pts GhostofJimMorton 6pts SaintMike1884 BobbyKemp 5pts MontroseSaintee Pezza 4pts Gothlover SaintinExile SaintDougie SteveMcQueen TheBlueSaint Davey TheInspiration TheLarkSaint SixtiesSaintee Duncan08 2pts AncientSaint StamfordSaintee RebelSaint 1pts SaintintheCity Numbers still a little down on normal, and also get your league table predictions in - I'll be closing it very soon...
