As some of us seem to have been placed under house arrest for the foreseeable future (I`m starting to go stir-crazy already) I`m posting this in the hope that it might provide a bit of light entertainment for a few of you. I used to organise quizzes many years ago and I once used this as a a bit of fun for the interval. I know I thought up a few of them myself (sorry!) but others I picked up from somewhere or other; long time ago now.

I`ll post the answers in a week or so - or whenever I remember, whichever comes sooner.

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.
Beefy

To add to the Sports being curtailed due to the outbreak, the forthcoming World Championships have been cancelled without any news of re-arranged dates:-

Men's in week commencing 28 March in Scotland
Seniors and Mixed Doubles in week commencing 18 April in Canada

I am currently resurrecting my interest in WWII, particularly the air force and specifically women at war. I am reading Memoirs of a WAAF, the diaries of Daphne Dangerfield. I have just read a similar one from Joan Rice. I doubt that many of you would go for my choices but you could try Brummie Road which was written by Ian Richards, aka Ska'dForLife-WBA, it was a good read and still available.

Just got round to watching the Pale Horse. I cannot believe we kept it on the planner since it was on. What a waste of 2%. What a waste of 2 hours of our lives! @LordSnooty

Right folks, I know some of you do not agree with the way the Government are handling this, however I can see the strategy, if 60% to 80% get this thing between now and June then hopefully their immune systems will protect them when the 2nd wave arrives in about 6 months time. The second attack is likelier to be more deadlier. China are already preparing for the second wave.
This is going to get a lot worse before it clears.

Now that it looks like the Scottish footie season will be ended prematurely, there are lotsa questions to be asked re the economic reality for many of the clubs who will definitely be affected, some of whom will be massively in debt - just the way they operate. What to do? Does the SFA or the Scot govt "step in" to assist in some way? Also on a separate theme, is this an opportunity to restructure the footie leagues or even move more radically on this by reverting to a summer footie season? Possibly end the remaining matches leading in to the summer but carry on eh!!? OR follow the realistic line and concede that the footie league season is ended. Therefore default on a 9th Celtic league title, Rangers take up a UEFA slot as do Motherwell; Hertz relegated, Dundee United promoted, relegation-promotion play offs arranged and the same for the other leagues?
