And people said it would jinx the team''s results.... -
Only 20 minutes to go for the 30 or so people who have yet to predict today''s score... -
The game will be played on Tuesday, February 17 (7pm). -
You''ll have to wait a while - I had over 50 emails on Saturday...
Are we going with time brackets of 10 minutes or precise times? -
There may be occasions where people are unable to submit predictions - holidays/illness etc. So maybe for next season we should allow people to miss a maximum of five games. For the rest of this season no-one should have an excuse by the time of the Coventry game for not having seen the Prediction League start so people can only miss two games to be considered for the League Table.
Sounds fair to me. Hayden?
There is no prize as such this season, but maybe next year.... -
Well if everyone else is happy then we''ll divide total points by number of games then base league positions on the average point score. -
Will do cityangel - not been at work since 5pm Friday but all emails receieved before 3pm today will be included when I do the sums on Monday. -
I''ll sort the table out on Monday when I''m back at work, but with a prediction like that you''re bound to be the leader... -
I''m slightly changing the rules to prevent cheating and also to make it easier for me to process!
So, the new rules are:
Correct Score = 5 points
Correct GoalScorer = 1 point
Correct Goal time with correct goalscorer = 4 bonus points
Hope this helps! -
Have now set up a web page at:
http://www.pinkun.com/Content/ncfc/Fantasy/2003-2004/asp/Fantasy.asp
Fancy graphic will follow shortly and a league table will appear after Saturday''s game.
If I''ve missed anyone out, got any predictions wrong, or you can think of a better scoring sytem then let me know at Peter.Raven@archant.co.uk -
Not sure about the minus points for getting things wrong. How about:
Right Score = 3 points
Right Goal Scorer/Wrong time = 3 points
Right time bracket/Wrong goalscorer = 1 point
Right Goal Scorer and time = 5 points -
Would it not be better to offer 5 points for time of goal scored as that''s pretty hard to predict?
Or maybe a bonus of 2 points if you predict the right goalscorer with the right time? Or am I complicating things? -
We''re in the process of setting up a page - when it''s ready I''ll post a pinned message at the top of this forum leaving my email address Peter.Raven@archant.co.uk in which to send your predictions to, plus a link to the Fantasy Football page. -
Great idea Hayden - this is something I could knock up a page for on the PinkUn site and everyone emails me their predictions. Unless you want to keep it strictly to this message board? -
Yup - on the PinkUn fixture list:
Tues Mar 2 West Bromwich Albion
(live on Sky 7.45pm) -
Brennan''s is well on the way, along with one of Ant & Dec (dunno who''s who!). -
If you renew before 7th March and you sit in the Barclay End, Snakepit or River End then prices for 16-21 are:
Renewal: £210
New: £220 -
Bouba is, Malick (our guy) isn''t. Wonder if the police still want a word with him... -
Apologies all round. Senegal''s Pape Malick Diop is the very same defender once on loan to us. Not to be confused with the star of the Senegal team - Pape Bouba Diop. -
I am fairly certain it wasn''t him and that Tyldsley had a case of the Roy Wallers and got the wrong man. I was dubious at the time as 1) he looked nothing like our Pape and 2) this one was good!
This requires further investigation... -
Nope, isn''t him. Think they had two Pape Diops in the World Cup, neither of which were our loan star. -
That''s just down to the printing in the paper - you''ll be pleased to know the seats are yellow...

At home to Coventry in the Rumbelows Cup in 1990 when I was 10. Sat in the South Stand (well someone had to). Still got the ticket - although it''s not quite as silver as it was when I bought it. In fact, every time I handle it half the colour comes off... -
Details in next week''s Evening News.
Glad to be wrong in Fantasy League
