PREDICTIONS LEAGUE UPDATE
9:23pm Wednesday 3rd October 2012 in Sport
"Dear all,
.
One quick note: I've allowed 1 or two close calls on late posts for the predictions in recent weeks but there have been a few which were over 30 minutes late for a Saturday and over 10 minutes late for a midweek. To keep things simple I will return to closing for all entries at 1 hour before kick-off as per the timestamp at which the post is accepted…..with no exceptions I'm afraid.
.
Well a bit of a deflated mood after last night but still a few more weeks before we measure ourselves against PDC's target of Top 6 by end of October.
.
All of the results will follow once the thread is up but points were quite low for last Saturday so can only think that last night's results will be even lower.
.
Time for a few beers before Saturday's trip up to Bury…..if their pitch has dried out by then and then hopefully the players will get back to normal and deliver 3pts.
.
Cheers all, SAPFanSTFC"

OK so the results from Tuesday there were better scores than I expected but I don't think anyone feels any joy given the match result:
---.
Swindon Town v Colchester Utd.
===.
MAN OF THE MATCH - 7pts.
---.
Two posters were 2pts clear of anyone else on Tuesday and given the match result they were very good scores!
---.
*** -- Okus Road -- ***.
AND.
*** -- Sir Fawn Maker -- ***.
...well done guys but I'm sure you'd have swapped these points for nothing given a Swindon win.
---.
1) Correct Score Swindon 0 - 1 Colchester Utd.
---.
As you'd expect no-one got the right result or scoreline but the following list of 14 all correctly predicted Bury to score 1 goal for opts:
Airframe-dtm
Badger58
Devon Red
Eeebygum
Glosteroldboy
Guyswonga
Inept and crass
Louiscassius
NewburyMike
Okus Road
Redgollum
SAPFanSTFC
Sir Fawn Maker
Who am I.
---.
No other points at all there.
===.
2) Attendance: 7,443.
I think many thought this would get a boost from the League Cup offer but the attendance was again very disappointing.
Two posters got 5pts for predicting within 20 of the actual attendance one of which was only ONE out from the exact attendance for a 10pt bonus.
Okus Road (7,431)
Sir Fawn Maker (7,444).
---.
Nine posters got the 3pt bonus for predicting within 100 of the actual attendance:
CraftyPig
Forever_STFC
Glosteroldboy
Jason900
Macca.y
NewburyMike
Red white
Redgollum
Wilesy.
---.
Seven others all get 1pt for being within 250:.
Badger58
Devon Red
Farteaboy
Inept and crass
Louiscassius
NewburySandy
Smirg kcab.
===.
3) Scorer and Goal Time: Ferry and 79mins.
No-one predicted No Goalscorer and as a result there is no-one who gets a bonus for closest to the correct time.
===.
4) Corners: 15.
Two posters get the 2pts for the correct number of corners.
Dreamofacleansheet2
Farteaboy.
===.
5) First Sub: 56mins.
Scollenstfc nailed this one for 3pts with the correct prediction.
===.
A) Total shots: 13.
No-one posted with the correct prediction but two posters were both only 1 out with 12 and another 4 were out by the same on 14 - all get a nearest the pin bonus of a point.
BromhamRed
CraftyPig
Dazinblack
Inept and crass
Jgcirencester
Scollenstfc.
===.
B) % Possession: 51%.
Only the 1st time poster got this exactly right for 1pt.
divmilan.
===.
C) Last goal time: 70.
Yet again no-one got this right and the bonus point for being nearest goes to:.
Mustard Red (69).
===.
League table updates will follow soon but I think I need to go and get my flight home or I'll be stuck in Cork for a little longer!...worse things have happened but after a week away I ought to be back on time I guess!?
---.
Well done to all and there is no shame in gaining points for any of the questions....unless you predict an STFC defeat that is!! :-)
===.
Cheers all.
---.
COME ON YOU REDS!!!!

I'm hoping you may be wrong again this week though but in the right direction!!
:-)
===.
Updated League Tables:
===.
NewburyMike on 62pts not only holds onto top spot but extends his lead over the chasing back to 8pts!!
---.
AirframeDTM climbs two spots into 2nd by virtue of countback from Samster93 who are both on 54pts with the ominous name of Wilesy who moves up 4 places into 4th on 52pts.

Apologies but no internet access last night - Results from Saturday:
---.
Shrewsbury Town v The Real STFC.
===.
Only one poster got the right score but I'm afraid that this was way too late for the 1.5hr pre kick-off cut-off to be accepted - sorry folks but now it is really 1 hour before kick-off is the very last time for posts.
---.
It was a strange scoring match with most people getting 3 or 4 points but SO MANY of the questions had no correct answers from any predictions - nearest bonuses where the order of the day.
MAN OF THE MATCH - 6pts.
*** -- Redgollum -- ***.
*** -- Stokes_stfc -- ***.
*** -- Wilesy -- ***.
AND.
*** -- SAPFanSTFC -- ***.
....Yay!...at long last I get SOME points - and well done RedGollum, Stokes_stfc and Wilesy!!!
---.
1) Correct Score STFC 1 - 3 Real STFC.
Eighteen posters all went for a 2-1 win and as a result they all get 3pts for the correct winning margin:
Bondy54
Doctor Bamber
Farteaboy
Jgcirencester
Macca.y
MrClick
Mustard Red
NewburyMike
Norfolk 69er
Okus Road
Oxon-Red
Red rob alderholt
Red white
Redgollum
Samster93
Smirg kcab
Stokes_stfc
Wilesy.
---.
Another 19 all scored 2pts for predicting 1 goal for us or zero goals for them.
---.
....and 9 others got 1 point for a Swindon Town win.
===.
2) Attendance: 6,303.
Nine posters all got 3pts for predicting within 100 of the actual attendance:
Airframe-dtm
Badger58
Dreamofacleansheet2
JC Pontefract
Jedthered
NewburySandy
Rhs Boydy
SAPFanSTFC
Steve. Brentford.
---.
Six others all get 1pt for being within 250:.
Dazinblack
Devon Red
NewburyMike
Red rob alderholt
Stokes_stfc
Wilesy.
===.
3) Scorer and Goal Time: Ferry and 79mins.
No-one predicted Ferry and the closest to the 79th minute with 82 was Bromham Red who picks up a bonus point for being closest.
===.
4) Corners: 14.
Six posters all got 2pts for the correct number of corners.
Bondy54
CraftyPig
Devon Red
Redgollum
SAPFanSTFC
Stokes_stfc.
===.
5) First Sub: This was posted on the BBC as being 47mins which no-one predicted. As a result all of you who posted 46mins (which is a trend) and the few with 48mins all get a 1pt nearest the bull bonus.

A) Leg Wave: None was clearly posted as 'Not Valid' :-) but nice try to those who did it anyway.....zero points all round there as he refrained form amusing us despite the away fans best efforts.
===.
B) Total Shirts for Goals: 8.
No-one got even close to this but with great reluctance a nearest the pin bonus goes to the following who all had zero.
Forever_STFC
Sir Fawn Maker
Tifosi
===.
C) Top 6 Goals: 7.
Yet again no-one got this right and the bonus point for being nearest goes to:.
Okus Road (6)
Wilesy (8)
===.
I'll get the league tables updated on here later this afternoon / evening but will add Tuesday's results before that hence the league table will be fully up to date.
===.
Cheers all.
