That was my original name on that communist board. I was offline for a couple of years and when I returned someone else was using it hence “old”

Anyway the games is afoot I’m going for top spot now!

Bugger! Last night whilst I was watching the final stages of the match I was quite suited because I thought I'd gone for a 1-2 away win. Just checked and I did....... and then I changed it to a 2-2!:(
That’s what happens when: 1) you change your answer from your first choice, on an exam or in life; and, 2) you let your cynicism run amok.

The Rovers will win a play off spot this season and we will be promoted.

Bloody Mowbray's fault Steve! I actually wrote........
"I've a feeling we'll lose 2-1 but being optimistic as one must to follow BRFC I'd say that if we can pair Travis with Reed in the middle I might go against the odds and opt for 1-2, with Travis and Evans then 2-2."
deep breath.......... 2-2."


So we were drawing till ht then we did win the 2nd half once Mowbray had read this mb with his slice of orange at HT and took Evans off to partner Travis with Reed in the middle! I think that's worth half a point but I don't make the rules. Those two ARE currently the No 1 midfield partnership imo.

And as pointed out elsewhere we finished the game with a three man midfield of Trav, Reedy and Benno. That’s a bloody hard working midfield if I say so myself!

New predictions table after the FA Cup replay.
Only one person went for a draw after 90 minutes - guess who? OOT :mad:
At least he got the score wrong!

For the rest of us it's "as you were"

Thanks WB . I have to admit I do have a sense of guilt about lasts night’s prediction ! I was under the impression that FA Cup replays didn’t go to extra time so that was my end of match prediction!

SLKS and Steve W must be feeling a sense of injustice this morning !

Having said that I’ll take the points :p

I forgot that I was in this prediction league thingy.

In order to move quickly up the table I predict........
Rovers 4 v Ipswich 1

Phew... that was close! Changed my prediction of 2-2 at the 11th hour whilst that minute's silence was on after learning that Hull had both CH's out through injury! Still just about lording it over ODB alphabetically but OOT seems an awful long way off. Correct scores being the key and being the kicker especially for WB.

Lording over or merely equal to? Lol

Anyway can you actually change a prediction without posting it on here because you could say anything after the fact? You said this in the match thread,

“Both 1st choice ch's out for hull. I'm tempted to change my prediction”

I therefore put it to the court that you got your prediction wrong pal and points should be docked accordingly!

:imp:

Hmm. Can of worms time.
When I produce the new predictions table after a match, I go through the match thread and note down the various predictions that are timed before kick-off.
The second post in the Hull match thread is Drog saying 2-1.
However, I now can see that post was edited yesterday at 3:04pm :eek: but I can't be sure if it was the scoreline that was edited at that point or something else on the post :confused:
I think we will have to let it ride on this occasion and I will have to pay more attention to edited posts in future.
Unless, of course, Drog fesses up to changing his prediction after the match started ;)

Just read the rules in the 1st post of this thread and they do instruct BEFORE in capitals. I'll own up. I did post just after the kick off (still 0-0 obviously) cos I began typing it albeit surreptitiously during the minutes silence after my mate told me about the Hull defensive changes. You can knock the two points off cos I'll soon overtake ODB.:D

:innocent: I've been waiting for the team news and leaving predictions until very late recently. But I got caught out this week by being later than usual for the match and ending up going straight through the concourse instead of taking a more relaxed 5 mins meeting up and chatting with the 'troops'.
If I'd changed my prediction before making the post reporting about Hulls centre half problems I'd have been ok as this week the kick off was delayed a little. I fear now that I'm going to need a few correct scores and the top 3 a few disasters.

Truth is I'm consoled by getting nowt and seeing rovers win in style than being right and seeing them draw.
