Isnt that breaking the rules?

As i qoute from Prediction league - Rules,
5. All predictions must be entered before the kick off of the 1st game, any entries after this time will be void. You may edit your selections upto the start of the 1st game but any edits after this time will result in all their predictions being void.

[bg]

I would like to retire from the prediction league..........no real reason apart from that I have become a bit bored with it, plus find it difficult to post at times when I am busy.....so there you go you are all with a chance now;)

[ChuckleBantam]

Isnt that breaking the rules?

As i qoute from Prediction league - Rules,


PMSL!!! You've gatecrashed the top of the league mate and your not cliquey enough to be one of those who they'll bend the rules for. You won't be able to challenge fairly so I'd either learn to live with the fact you have to work harder than some or jack it and let the boys and girls play with their train set by their OWN rules like I had to.

So, I make that, if they quote the rules chapter and verse and adhere to them by the book, that Bantams and Proud will have to have two weeks scores scratched because he hasn't predicted the same results as the rest of you or it makes a farce of the whole "rules" bollocks Rick was eager to quote after the faliure to count the scores of those the other week, purely because some people didn't get favourable results or forgot to enter PMSFL!!!

As I see it, due to the bias shown to press the only thing to do, is start a new competition at Nil again and let somebody competent run it and somebody Impartial adjudicte it. Neither is the case right now.

Also...final word on tne subject, isn't it interesting that now the forums and "edit" button facility are locked at kick off of the first game, that the prediction league table has shown a truer pattern of results in the last couple of weeks?? Proving my point totally about the edit button cheating that I told the mods about weeks ago, but they CHOSE, to IGNORE.

Happy New Year everybody!! :D

Well for my resignation speech I will say I have copied every post early on to my spreadsheet and never found an alteration later.

Bantam and proud gained no advantage nay he lost one days post and every days post was voided for him i.e. the Friday, but there you go I resign, its not worth the hassle chucks. You run it.

ps I think Loyalish2 has proved beyond doubt that he is the best.

Oh and happy New year folks.

[wykie]

Feck all mate just do it.

[Loyalish2]

'As I see it, due to the bias shown to press the only thing to do, is start a new competition at Nil again and let somebody competent run it and somebody Impartial adjudicte it. Neither is the case right now.'

Sod that for a game of soldiers! I don't care about cliques and bending the rules. I've been on top of the pile since week one and would like to go through the season unbeaten. Like wykie says, 'Loyalish2 has proved beyond doubt that he is the best.' I mean who else but a football genius like me could have predicted the MK Dons getting a draw at high flying Southend?

As things stand nobody will listen. Name names and give us proof Dave, cos I'd hate to think you were undermining the competition simply to deny me my moment of glory and well deserved title of 'Claret and Banters most knowledgeable poster' :p. Either that or let the world know I'm not involved in any of these shenanigans so I may bask in my well earned glory. :D

Go on, it's Christmas. I mean just for you in response to your Christmas best wishes to 'EVERYONE' I've put two smilies in!!! :eek: :eek: Make that four, it would have been five but unfortunately four is the maximum you're allowed.

[Poulton]

There is no clear winner yet (unless you cancle the league) as we have only completed half a season! theres another half to go yet! and only 10 points within the top 6, 10 points is nothing!

If we stick to the rules stated by Thorny then Calverly bantam and Bantams and proud should not have there scores added for this week, its that simple. The rules are there as a guideline on how to play the game. If there were no rules, there wouldnt be a PL. If people are allowed to break the rules and have there scores added then the fun from this game disappears.

My pleasure;

I have seen with my own eyes 2 people, "definitley 100% their scores were different at a minute past three than they were at ten to five" adjust their scores and 1 that I'm sure changed but not certain cos they may have changed them just before kick off. One of the two people cheating was a consistent performer, the other not so consistent.

I can catagorically state now, that Loyalish has never been in the, "definitley 100% their scores were different at a minute past three than they were at ten to five" catagory

As to the original point. I have been entrenched in the top three in the top league or the overall scores since the start Ranger. After yourself, I have been the most consistent scorer in the whole shebang. All this with no edit button shennenigans or last minute posting or changing scores based on what my opponents were doing. I posted scores within a day of the results going up and stuck to my original predictions EVERY TIME.So therefore, shall we just say, a genuine contender for top spot. I guarantee you are still top of the overall scores for no other reason than I have pulled out Mr Ranger, that is a fact. That may or may not be the case at the end of the season, but it certainly takes the shine off the eventual winner IMHO given that arguably the most consitent performer to date (Me) has been forced to quit due to the competition being rigged to favour certain individuals and how good their predictions have been at any one time. Alongside (and no offense meant here) the many mistakes in the organisers running of the league recently.

I notice that you have gatecrashed the top three or four in the overall scores and you are going well in your individual league Mr P. You may as well bang your head against a wall mate...It aint going to change the minds of the people responsible for the feck up and if they do, then it raises the issue of why the previous time (when they didn't count a whole weeks fixtures) that a feck up was made, the predictions made weren't upheld like they seem to be for the persons who didn't predict properly. I'd "do a chuckle" and Jack it in Poulton. You won't get any help on this and if you do, it only highlights previous negligence and victimisation of my complaint. The competition has deteriorated into a sham with a guaranteed hollow outcome at the end anyhoo.

Start it again, with equal priority for the scoring of ALL competitors or pull the plug completely because as it stands there can be no FAIR outcome, with no satisfaction that the eventual winner has beaten the best.

[Loyalish2]

Fair do's, although I'm still not comfortable with the references to 'last minute posting' because it suggests everyone that posts last including me is upto no good. Which in my case is complete bolliox. As I've said before, it wouldn't matter a jot to me if people spent 24 hours a day studying everybody elses predictions before posting at 2.59pm. As far as I'm concerned, especially given the position I'm in, there is absolutely nothing whatsoever to be gained by looking at and/or changing my predictions and then waiting to the last minute to post my predictions, and even if there was, apart from posting before KO there are no rules governing what time you should post. Call me paranoid but I just don't want to get tarred with the same brush as everyone else on your hit list. That said, at the end of the day beggars can't be choosers so I'll gladly take what I've got.

Oh and Poulton, lighten up mate, while my previous post was in the main for ChuckleBantams benefit. I was rather hoping other people reading it would find my self-obsessed, cocky, arrogant bull*****ing mildly amusing. :(

Compliments of the season to one and all.

Look at it like this, Competitor X and Competitor Y are neck and neck at the top or at the bottom of their league or both running away with the running totals come May. Competitor X going into the last game or at the end of the month is one point behind Competitor Y and he posts a set of predictions. Competitor Y then only has to post the same predictions as X to guarantee the one point lead remains. That's why I suggested Private Message predictions. We've also had individuals wait until practically kick off time and post all Home Wins after their opponents for relegation have already predicted.

All the above; Within the Rules....Yes, but in the spirit of the game....No.

Like some pointed out, It's only a game with no prizes why get so serious?? If I was so serious I'd cheat or bend the rules, I didn't so that question should be aimed at those who have or those, who are in a position to do so, tailor the rules to suit as and when circumstances dictate.

[bg]

well that has cheered me up no end chucks and loyalish, lol

don't know whether to withdraw my resignation now or not, it has just become very amusing again with chucks paranoia kicking in to give it a lift;)

Not once have I ever edited my posts, barely have time to post let alone change them, and why would I?? I post mostly on instinct..... I have not even read other people's posts let alone study them:D

Hey wykie you have done a cracking job, but fully understand why you would not want to continue, given the constant hassle.

It would help if only one date was given, even if teams were playing on Monday or Friday, would mean less points but it would save all this confusion. I personally would be all for private pm's as I would get to see even more of chucks paranoia kick in, which amuses me;)

Just think chucks, all the mods mates would get to post private pm's with their predictions, and change them to suit their mates when the results were in, so they would be top top top of the league, ha ha ha.....

who are the mods mates anyway???

[ChuckleBantam]

don't know whether to withdraw my resignation

Just because yer loooosing, Just because yer loooosing!!

I would get to see even more of chucks paranoia kick in, which amuses me;)

Not as much as your dense stupidity amuses me!

Hey wykie you have done a cracking job

He has?? Fook me!! Your standards for success are low!! Mind you, you think Julian Rhodes is doing a cracking job too, so there is a pattern emerging!!

[bg]

erm wykie has been doing a cracking job, and you wouldn't know because you have been sulking, so suggest you button it:D

JR = we have a club

No JR= no club

yep my standards of success are spot on....

anyway you have made me laugh when I am not feeling too good, so take a bow.....

[ChuckleBantam]

erm wykie has been doing a cracking job, and you wouldn't know because you have been sulking, so suggest you button it:

Cracking job at errors and favourtism (no offense Wykie)


JR = we have a club No JR= no club Myth


Fact; He'll be the one that finally loses us the club


so suggest you button it

Bit offensive, hope the mods are taking note. Winky smilies don't mean feck all.

[bg]

what is offensive about asking someone to button it when they only want to make mischief despite not being on the site for awhile during the time they are accusing someone of favouritism, and then saying no offence, please..........................

[ChuckleBantam]

what is offensive about asking someone to button it when they only want to make mischief despite not being on the site for awhile during the time they are accusing someone of favouritism, and then saying no offence, please..........................

You usually PM the mods for less than being told "button it" darling. Just asking for fair treatment.

I've never been away from the site. I just don't get enthusiastic enough to enhance it's quality by continuing to post regularly anymore......and it shows.

[Parrot]

Come on Chucks, grow up mate;)

Whats wrong, If someone wants to cheat, so what its their baby afterall;)
It's only a bit of fun, ok personally i hope it's all fair but if some sad bastards are too competetive for their own good & want to cheat then that's their problem!

If you have suspicions or proof then pm me or bring them to the fore for all to see, then we can all draw our own conclusion's, if not then shut up!:eek:

Sorry mate but your coming across paronoid, so for your own reputation, name name's ect.. If those you accuse come across shifty or are indeed "outed" the better for all concerned!

Offence was taken chucks. Mistakes yes plenty, prove the rest chucks prove the rest. ps BG was ahead of you after Loyalish2. I still have the spreadsheet. Reading this post chucks seems to think he's won, however if you want me to continue warts and all but HONEST as the day is long pm me as I feel walking away is letting some people down. And I'd love to dump on chucks.

[tony d]

Wykie have you been doctoring my predictions as for some reason my forms gone through the bleedin floor...:( :D ;)

Ahhhh diddums


And I'd love you to have a go. Have you decided which ones your going to let down with the latest cock ups highlighted by Poulton?? Mmmmmm??

And my consistent regularity at accurate predictions whilst I was involved coupled with what I would have predicted after your errors forced my withdrawal, I'd be 6 points ahead of second place on the overall scores. So like I say, congratulations on diluting the achievement of the eventual "winner"

Also, since I feel charitable, a little tip; Why not put a bit of thought into the bonus questions too? That might make it a bit more of a challenge. If a bit more than; "how many away victories" or "how many half time away goals" tickled the grey matter of the contestants it might make it more exciting!

[wykie]

little tip to challange the grey matter chucks " do one on my index finger" clear or not?

[wykie]

Tony well no you done crap lately.

[Shipley Bantam]

Come on then Chuckle, have the balls to name and shame the so called cheaters, get it out in the open if you're so damn sure, or perhaps you're just spouting bollocks as usual, if you're not, like I say name and shame...

Any Wykie said at the end of one of the fixture lists to pm him if you had any original bonus questions, take it away genius...

[wykie]

Thanks. But the Chucks never picks up the gournlet. Just wants to stand at the side and moan. Little twot.

[ChuckleBantam]

Crystal....and it goes a long way to explain why the competition is so shoddily run these days.

I named names to the mods a few weeks back in confidence and no action was taken. Like I said before, now the forums are locked at kick off time, the Tables have shown a truer indication of the standard of competitors.

Why should I help Wykie rescue a competition he's fucked up to such a level that it's consistently best performer (me) was forced to withdraw as a result of his incompetence??

[wykie]

I have always said I'd walk, you stick round like a bad smell toe rag.

if you have something to divulge suggest you do it Chucks, as you have lost all crediblity. If I thought someone was cheating I would just say so, backed up with evidence, as I am sure the MODS would have as well.

I don't see anybody jumping up and down and wanting you to 'rescue' the prediction league, apart from yourself, in true 2 year old tantrum style. You are so up yourself these days it is embarressing. Loyalish is top of the prediction league on results not on 'what I would have done if I had not thrown a trantrum, and taken me ball home'

Wykie I am more than happy for you to continue, and as you are cheating and doctoring the outcomes, suggest you cut me a bit of slack, I am about to get relelgated;)

Suppose I had better carry on, can't have baby chucks thinking that he is better;)

[tony d]

I think it was Michael Jackson with the computer in the kids room whos the cheat here.:D

Celebrity Cluedo.....Now i wonder if they would back that on Dragons Den????
