Thank you for your kind words. Division two is pretty boring, I missed being thrashed every Tuesday and Saturday (both home and away!) ;) It's great to be back! Good luck ;)

Now we've got a fair few active posters who are (mostly) nice to each other, I'd like to propose a prediction competition.

I'm calling it Pick 3.

Choose any 3 fixtures (not including your own) from Tuesday's games and predict a winner and margin of victory.

If you successfully pick a home winner, you get 2 points.
If you successfully pick an away winner, you get 3 points.

If your margin of victory is within 2 points of the actual victory margin, you get double points!

Finally, if you successfully predict an OT winner (instead of a margin of victory) you get triple points!!!

Entries must be posted/last edited one hour before tip off. If there's lots of interest, I'll open up a thread, otherwise just use this one.

Good idea! A bit complicated though.... too many" doubles" and "triples" ;) We could start today too. ;)

well, makes for more strategy.

I always found the pick a winner for all games every round a bit of a pain. I was going for once a week, with a bit of strategy.

I figure we all log in over the weekend at some point, so looking at Tuesdays games and picking your 3 could become part of that.

wow interesting start off the season...

i have no idea how i won tonight and it almost looked like it that I would throw away my lead, but somehow I managed to pull it off.

Winning tonight with Mackenzie being injured and playing only three minutes is a better than hoped start.

and what a performance by Ghanian Super Star Maal...

a few other surprises too. People underestimating HCA especially at the start off the season or just freak results like my win tonight??

prediction competition


I probably would have got 2 out of the 8 today, some right funny results.

Things I noticed:
1) Look Inside might not be very good anymore (Ashington v Gauson)
2) Risk and Reward is gonna be really good
3) Gibraltar Monkeys gets REALLY angry when you remake his threads

3) That one I consider my fault, I scouted Gib yesterday and thanks to the bloody England call ups cluttering up the news didn't notice the brand spanking new pretty-damn-expensive-C that was signed today. That wasn't a pleasant surprise at tip off, having him lined up against my 20 yr old trainee (who I'd tried to sneak starter training minutes for). He went -27 on +/- :-S

I should also have seen the 2-3 coming after you'd won with it - and played Anderson or Stanway at PG instead of Vega. Cribier can't defend both of them, and Redman is limited in his OD.

So, I could/should have narrowly won that game despite the TIE vs PN.

Still, I didn't and I got my a$$ well and truly kicked instead, so well done da monkeys!
