Steve McQueen Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Round 48 – Celtic (H) A great comeback to earn a point the last home game of the season. 8 predicted a draw but no-one had 3-3. Clancy got the opener & was unsurprisingly not picked by anyone. 13 get a points for the other scorers Commons, Van Djik, Pukki, Brown & O'Halloran. Attendance was a low 4624 & caught almost everyone out.

Steve McQueen Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I need to play the whole season next time. Only started playing a few weeks ago and I've got 52 points For comparison our leader Gothlover has 58 in the same time period. Reached 94 despite missing a few weeks, looking to reach the 100 by the end of the season. Could do, Cup final is double points.

Goal machine Ando got the 1st & was predicted by Saint madoe & THE REBEL SAINT. Steven Maclean got the clincher & was predicted by 6 others. Attendance was 47345.

Edstar101 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Now that it is over for another year...I think we need to, em, rethink, the points for crowd prediction, particularly following the arguments around clubs that include season ticket sales, even if they don't turn up. When making a prediction, you think about whether it is midweek, whether the team (us or opposition) have a big fixture coming up that people might save for, current form etc etc. Where the clubs practice just counting season tickets makes it a total lottery and involves no skill at all....or am I just taking this too seriously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you predict the crowd? I look at previous games & judge from there. Should work if clubs are consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Throughout the season, you feverishly analyse past figures, deploy sophisticated differential analysis techniques, arrive at a fully reasoned conclusion, and then get it completely wrong. For the Cup Final, you add up the Saints and DU ticket sales incorrectly when you're pissed for the thousands, press three numbers at random for the rest, and somehow get it spot on. Glad to help.

Gothlover Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Cheers guys. Commiserations to my very close competitors. It was a hard fought battle and I am honoured to have won it the same day as Saints made history and won their first Scottish cup. Don't think my victory will be remembered by as many people though!!!! Finally a big thank you to Steve McQueen for organising. You've done a grand job. Looking forward to next season already.
