PREDICTIONS LEAGUE: Update
12:00am Tuesday 5th March 2013 in Sport
Dear all, Apologies for the missing thread at the weekend - not sure what happened but probably due to a well earned day off.
As the new job is starting to settle down I'm hoping that I will have this all fully up to date by close of play Tuesday if all goes to plan….I'm also hoping to have all of the results for the 'February Specials' updated as well.
Cheers all, SAPFanSTFC!"

Hi Wilesy - Yep I am as nearly all of the regulars managed to locate a desperate Saturday post on every thread - we used Sam's thread as the collection point.
...
I don't know what happened but my normal email on the Friday wasn't picked up and as I was travelling I didn't notice the problem until Saturday sadly.
...
Looks like I have to get stuff submitted on the Thursday now....wherever possible.
----
....and Nope I've not forgotten last year's results - the full data rebuild continues.....slowly

** MAN OF THE MATCH **
.
Given the scoreline I thought that Glosteroldboy and Perth Red had a good shout on 6pts but then a late charge came at 7pts for Old Stager, Hilperton!!!...
.
....only to see a late injury time winner from...!!!!
.
*** -- Red white - 8pts ***
.
Knew I'd lost the 4th Rd Cup match to quality opposition...have to say that Red White is on a roll at present and top boys!!....WATCH OUT!!!

Never bother to read Sam's ramblings. I was already on the road to the game by then anyway.
And my sworn "enemy" Jacobstfc will have got a shedload of points because of a jammy score guess.
Have you ever thought of taking out Turkish citizenship and becoming a ref with that sort of decision making:-)

couldn't find anyone entering for Coventry so gave up. Irritating because had originally forecast it as our 1st defeat, when that happened to Bury decided to switch for 2-2 and then when new manager was appointed so quicky I was going for 2-1 win. Gave up looking for thread when I went out about 11 sat morning. Just my luck!
..
I posted and got it all wrong so don't feel too bad!!....mind you that is my normal result! :-)

** MAN OF THE BONUS MATCH **
----.
I have to say that given that 53pts were on offer it was a pretty poor return on the whole!?
----.
Only 2 posters got into double points and NewburyNick did well enough (in the great scheme of things) to get 11pts but the winner.......
.
With an UNDERWHELMING score (albeit I'd swap!!) was:
*** - Mustard Red - 12pts ***
...
Well there are no major league changes but I'm sure the posters above won't be moaning! :-)

There were 3pts on offer for every team in the right position plus a HUGE 10pt bonus if you got all 6 correct:
A possible 28pts in total!!
----.
1. Doncaster
2. Tranmere
3. Sheff Utd
4. Swindon Town
5. Brentford
6. Yeovil
(Being honest I'm not sure we'd have scored much better had we chosen on the 20th Feb!)
