blueheaven Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I don't see how it's cheating, I was just hedging my bets! I thought there was a good chance we'd get thumped, but I also thought there was a good chance that Scotland would score and I didn't want to put a Dundee player down because I had no idea who'd be playing for them. In hindsight, I think I probably actually put myself at a disadvantage, because there was no chance of my entire prediction actually coming true!

Jimbo Posted January 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Round 8, Gretna (h) no happy marrige in the saints team after this one, 1-0 defeat was depressing (but not unexpected) Tosh got the goal while a big crowd of 2651 turned up. the easy bit - scorer - nil points, zilch, no one. Attendance points - a first for the prediction league - one got with in 50, closest of all was finnersfanofstj with 2600 - 51 away. and 1pt on to the scoreline - 208Saint got a 3rd correct scoreline in 4 games and was the only one. DuncM Hazel nuggets indicator coltrane kyle andy jimbo mark and nips all plumped for the gretna win. so what else can i say - dunblanemikes run of points in every game ended with todays game - (scored points in all of the previous 7 games) but still has a dominant lead in the championship. week points 5 - 208saint 2 - Hazel nuggets indicator coltrane kyle andy jimbo mark nips 1 - finnersfanofStJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted January 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Round 9, Clyde (a) so a good away win, albeit a bit more nervy than it should have been. 3-2 saints with sherrin getting the opener and 1313 at the game. We must all bow down to Gaz - a moment of inspiration as he predicted the 3-2 scoreline, a further 26 of you went for the saintees win, slightly surprised that over half backed the saints after the tosh we have seen in recent weeks (but that is all forgotten now) On the scorer front - well done dunblanemike lewgti mapleleaf and 208saint for getting 2pts here. wellsy lew realmadrid berlinsaint indicator saintinexile phil muzz all get a point for being within 100 of the crowd. allybon adidas ronaldo saintpaul radford chopper me HertSaintee (1320) billybudd (1319) and pezza (1310) were closest of all.

mapleleaf Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 A couple of things surprised me about the crowd: 1.. The size; 2. That some several Saintees came close to guessing that number. WTF is going on? Under 700 to a match in Perth? How long has this been going on? Smudge 8) (But so pised off that he's sweating like a common person). P.S. In advance, I'd like to predict the score when the Saints meet the Brazilian national team at McD: Saints 2 Samba people who's women have no breasts (although many of them carry gear that would totally stun Hazel) 1 Wee Jimmy McGregor. 656 I can't believe the crowd was that small.

They have figured that Dunblane might be somewhere in Great Britain. They will work it out. In the meanwhile, they have looked at the Preddy League standings and have agreed with me that the fix is in. Geriatric tossers they may be, but they are thorough. Smudge 8) (Plays a five-string.

Jimbo Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Round 11, Brechin (h) Pretty straight forward really, 3-0 win the defence scoring the first couple before sherrin capped it off2069 there to see it.
