So guys Merry Christmas  
And so to the important stuff  

It may have come to your attention especially those in the prediction League that I have Predicted WBA to lose every game this season

We have played 22, lost just once all because of me and my superstitions and you all have me to thank for WBA's surge to the TOP !!

So in the interest of fair play I am asking you all to be humble and help me get a Petition signed for the scorers of the Prediction League to re-instate some points that I have deliberately lost to help our great team.

All you need to do is answer below with yes Beefy or No Beefy and any Majority will then be forwarded to the three Idiots, I mean Three wise men who do the scoring in Legally giving me back my points that they already know I deserve.

There was a clause when the prediction League began that I sent to the three erm !! Wise men and stated I was going to do this all three signed and returned it to me and agreed points will be returned if WBA keep winning, it now seems the are reneging and refusing to comply  

Here in the small print are their signatures agreeing to this .....

So do you agree as members of the prediction League team to go along with my Policy of agreeing to return any points If WBA's winning steak is down to my superstition of predicting them to lose ...

Signed Bbrown, Signed ZinnyMan, Signed Sco

I'm sure all of you who are Law abiding Citizens will agree and sign below YES BEEFY

Again in the interest of fair Play I would accept around 75% of the points returned incl gamball games that's a total of 60 Points (40 Accepted)

Thanks
Beefy    

2 points for a correct result
4 points for a correct score
2 points for each correct scorer
Correct joker doubles your score       
Wrong joker result gives you minus 2
Correct Random Badger gives you 2 points

The random badger is used for any random prediction used once in each matchday sequence. For instance, a scorer at a particular match, the number of red cards in the matches or yellow cards or own goals or owt you want really within reason, I do need to be able to check whether it's correct or not. Please don't put stuff like....."Commentator says...."  
The joker   is played for one match in each sequence and if correct you get double points. So if you've predicted 1-0 and it finishes 2-0, you get 4 pts, but if you've predicted 2-0, that's 8 pts. But if you get it wrong, it's minus 2.
Jokers and badgers are optional. You don't have to play one if you don't want.


Cup games:
In the event of a draw, it's half the points if you've predicted a draw when it gets to 90 mins and the full points if it's still a draw after extra time. Half the points will be awarded for correctly predicting the winner of the match if it goes to penalties.

Random score generator: I will be using the random score generator again for those who miss predicting, so we shouldn't get some people too far behind that after missing a couple of weeks they lose all interest, because I know it's not easy getting on here every week.
To be fair to everybody, this is going to be like, say if three people in one week miss their predictions, the first one in the table will be given all 0-0, the second one down the line will get 1-0 and the third will get 0-1 and so on, like if there's four missing the 4th will get 1-1, then 5th 2-1, 6th 1-2. and if there are so many missing, might as well pack in.
And if you miss two weeks on the trot, I'll stop until you come back on again. Not doing it for half a season like I did t'other year.

SMILIES/BALLS

 Bonus Ball
 Score Ball, Free to use Ball , play it on a game that you think both teams will score in !
 Gamball,

New Scoring System

Incorrect Result =  0 point
Incorrect Result (Bonus Ball) = -3 * Changed from -2
Incorrect Result (Gamball) = -3
[/color]
Score Ball = 1 added Point if both teams score.  !

Correct Result = +2 points
Correct Result (Bonus Ball) = +3
Correct Result (Gamball) = +5  * Changed from +4
Correct Score = + 4 points
Correct Score (Bonus Ball) = +6  
Correct Score (Gamball) = +10   * Changed from +8

As you can see the incorrect scoring has not really changed apart from a wrong Bonus this will be now scored at -3 instead of -2 the reason for this are the gains on the new Gamball scoring you will make (see below) in the hope this encourages you to use it most if not all of the time.

So to the Gamball, the use of the Gamball was tactically not used in some cases last season as the gains we not considered to great compared to the losses, it's for this reason we have decided to change the scoring, The loss will stay the same at -3 but the reward will be a correct result will go up by one from 4 to 5 points and the correct score will go up by 2 from 8 to 10 points !!!
Just a reminder you DO NOT have to play the Gamball if you dont want too, the score will then be marked normal.  


Again the third from bottom of the premiership will play off against the third in the table from the Championship to keep even more excitement going, they will have to predict through all the Playoffs and the winner obviously takes their place in the Premier League the following season  

Beefy, Bomber, Zinman & SCO  


If you do not predict,...........
If in your league everyone scores above zero you will receive Zero points,
However if in your league the person with the lowest score is below Zero (eg -4) you will score -5 and receive your first strike, Remember 3 strikes and you're out.

All scores must be in before MIDDAY SATURDAY,(For The Early Kick Off If Applicable) If the early kick off is missed the rest of your predictions must reach us by 2.45pm or none will be counted.

I'm almost 100% sure Myself & the Scorers get the scores added up correctly, From time to time over the season we may get now and again get this wrong, SO IN THE EVENT OF ANY POINTS DISCREPANCIES can i ask all you guys to check your predictions and if you feel they are incorrect in anyway contact me Via PM within a week of the TABLES & SCORES being presented and they will be corrected the following week.
Anything later unless it is a Major error will NOT be corrected. It is as much your responsibility to check your scores as much as it is ours to try and score them correctly.

So Hibs and Jack Ross travel to Glesca to take on one almighty task to try and achieve any kinda positive result v a Hoops' side that does not lose at home very often. The guys have played reasonably well and arriving at Celtic Park after a great 3-1 result v the Dons that certainly "lifted spirits" even amongst the Hibs support. Hopefully Hibs defence "holds up" and IMO that depends on what kinda mood Paul Hanlon is in tomorrow afternoon. Just give it their "best shot" and see where it takes us. I'd take a draw even if it was a lucky point earned but I'm well aware Celtic will be after the 3 pts with the title race being currently "too close for comfort".

GGTTH

THE MATCH

SATURDAY 14TH DECEMBER 3:00PM KICK OFF

v

[b]LAST MATCH



Well, we were heading for 3 points until the ref decided to intervene and award Derby a penalty (lets just say he was wrong). We started the game well and we deservedly took the lead when Fletcher finished first time from Bannan's pass. We had a few more chances but didn't take them and went in 1-0 up. The 2nd half was scrappy with not many chances for either side. We seemed to be on our way to a 1-0 win, until the referee intervened, judging Odubajo fouled Martin, (incorrect decision) and Martin fished from the spot. Odubajo was then showed a second yellow but we managed to see out injury time.

THE MATCH



Up next and a trip to the City Ground. Forest have made a good start to the season and currently are 5th in the table. They are managed by Sabri Lamouchi, who is a former French international who has previously managed Rennes and the Ivory Coast. They have some good player, Grabban, Adomah, Carvalho, Semedo, Lolley, so will be a good test. They will look to hold onto there current playoff position but with it being a tight division, a bad run of results can send you tumbling down the table at a rate of knots.

THE TEAM

Odubajo suspended so Iorfa to RB, and Borner to CB seems the obvious choice. Luongo for Hutch, Reach for Murphy or Rhodes for Nuhiu are all possible changes again.
