The BBC game where you guess the scores for the SPL season is back after being missing for the last year or so. It’s called “The Predictor“.
I’ve entered my prediction with the username garyfraethedale.
Has anybody else entered or set up a mini-league? I used to be in a league with Neil, but the level of competition was poor (unfortunately, it was poor for Neil and too good for me…)
I want to join a mini-league!
Hi Gary
We have the luck to have a Football Sweepie at work. Only in the lower divisions of the Scottish League. The Premier being too easy, ie. usually Rangers or Celtic win it. I have been lucky enough to draw Albion Rovers so keep your eye on them.
There is a mini-league I’ve just created. Called wehatedufc (think its just a random generated name). I’ve e-mailed you an invitation to join.
What did Weh eat?
Very droll…..
Ah, now I get it. We hated U F.C
That’s not very nice. Anyone else joining???
That’s me signed up – under the username rubbish_runner. Not to be confused with rubbishrunner, which was already taken :o(
Let battle commence.
Hi Graeme, sent you an invite to join wehatedufc. I’ve decided to give Gary a bit of a start for the first week!
‘Mon the Accies…..
28:03 GOAL – Anthony Stevenson
Hamilton 1 – Dundee Utd 1Foul by Prince Buaben (Dundee Utd) on James McCarthy (Hamilton). Free kick scored by Anthony Stevenson (Hamilton) right-footed (low centre of goal) from right channel (25 yards).Hamilton 1-1 Dundee Utd.
P.S. Is that really the DU players name?
Turning into a rout!
37:48 GOAL – James McArthur
Hamilton 2 – Dundee Utd 1- Foul by Lee Wilkie (Dundee Utd) on James McCarthy (Hamilton). Direct free kick taken right-footed by Anthony Stevenson (Hamilton) from left channel, goal by James McArthur (Hamilton) (bottom-left of goal) from left side of six-yard box (6 yards).Hamilton 2-1 Dundee Utd. Assist (header) by Mark McLaughlin (Hamilton) from right side of penalty area.
This is getting boring!
62:30 GOAL – David Graham
Hamilton 3 – Dundee Utd 1- Goal by David Graham (Hamilton) right-footed (bottom-left of goal) from centre of penalty area (18 yards).Hamilton 3-1 Dundee Utd.
I actually knew we would get beaten on Monday. I had Accies to win 1-0 in my predictor and then half an hour before the game I changed it to UTD to win 2-0.
Still, never mind, I just checked the predictor We Hated U F.C league and I am top in 3632nd place overall in the big league. Mr. Stideon is in 10331st…
I’ve just signed up. I’m a week behind but still confident of winning as I know how bad Graeme is at football coupons!!!!
Welcome! Neil will have to invite you into the league.
Shouldn’t take you long to catch up out of a possible 18 points we have 4,3 and 2…
Roll on Saturday!
Well Gary, for once we agree. I had Utd down to win 2-0 also (on the basis that if they loose I’m happy, and if they win I get the points!)
Gordon, An invite is winging its way to you as we speak.
Gordon who? Surely not “Gordon-I get-a-coupon-up-every-week-Brown”? May as well all chuck in the towel now lads, Gordon’s going to walk it! Ha ha ha
That sounds like fighting talk Mr Stein. Do you fancy a wee wager?????
Careful, he’s got a massive 3 point lead!!!
That’s me made my choices for this weekend. Six 3-3 draws…
Certainly Mr Brown! What do you suggest?
Hi Gordon,
Have you started yet?…
We hate U F.C League Table:
POS NAME POINTS
1421. GaryfraetheDale 9
6105. rubbish_runner 6
10097. stideon 4
19006. gudgeb 0
Hi Gary,
I was having a few technical problems with the BBC website. It took me 5 attempts to receive the confirmation email so last weeks results didn’t count. I’m up and running now though.
Anyone know who “wealsohatedufc” is?
Aye thats me. I had a few problems getting set up and ended up with 2 accounts as i didn’t think the “wealsohatedufc” account was working. It now is and thats the account i’m using so if you could add me it would be appreciated. You should also be able to delete the gudgeb one.
sorry about the mix up but the BBC website was playing funny b*gger with me.
I had a terrible weekend on the predictor…
0 points, while the Rubbish Runner scored heavily meaning that we’re now tied for first place.
I’m already thinking about next weeks games
Bizarre results, who would have thought that Killy would hammer the Dundee Utd and Rangers would beat celtic. Nil points for me too.
Gordon, will remove “gudgeb”, but not yet, as that would make me last!
Gary – not sure what you are thinking about next weeks games, not sure internationals count!
EDIT BY GARY:
Sorry Neil, you’re getting a yellow card, cant have language like that said about the lean, mean, tangerine, dream team or even them. Your comment has been changed to reflect the family nature of this broadcast. By the way, 2-0 Scotland 😉
Neil,
Any chance that “wealsohatedufc” could get an invite into the mini league?
Cheers
No chance of Neil “Jim Farry”, the league administrator adding you untill he gets off the bottom of the league. That might be 2009-2010 season…
