No worries, once I got my system nailed down after the first week or two it wasn't too bad. Excel did the hard work really! But at one stage I definitely was reminded of Sean Lock's line in 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown... "I've come to realise that the main thing this game tests....is my patience" Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9169 - 04/04/2022 11:55:22 2409481 Link 3 |

I'm very upset on my final position but maybe Kerry s win yesterday will help me get over it in time. Seriously though a big thank you to Lockjaw for your great idea your time and effort. A very enjoyable exercise and congrats to Bronze. CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 3681 - 04/04/2022 13:43:55 2409522 Link 0 |
Was close there in the end. If Tipp had got that final goal that hit the crossbar, would have seen me over the line with the correct result and score. Well done The Bronze and thanks Lockjaw for the effort. Up the Wee County.. ninjasmyth (Louth) - Posts: 720 - 04/04/2022 14:59:30 2409551 Link 1 |

Happy enough with my 9th place finish, probably would have finished higher if i didn't take a gamble on a few predictions that didn't pay of. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3358 - 04/04/2022 15:46:48 2409569 Link 0 |
Good man, Gaa_lover. It just goes to show that us Americans are up there with the best of them; you in 9th place and myself in 8th. And you'd have fellas on here trying to tell us that we know nothing about Gaelic games, and for us to stick to the baseball. Actually, one fella even had the audacity to ask me a few weeks ago if I were Russian. Russian??? Well, I'll tell you that you have to go down a long way through the list of names to find that fella's name on this prediction list; well near the bottom. It's a good indicator, and even with his having over 18,000 posts on here, what that fella knows about football. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 1937 - 04/04/2022 16:29:51 2409590 Link 4 |

Think of how high you might have been if you hadn't been weighed down by that chip.

Stick to the super bowl is another comment i get when giving a valued opinion. At least those fellas was brave enough to offer up their predictions while plenty of insulting posters chose to chicken out.

Jeez I feel bad now about making that flippant remark way back in January now. Those poor Ukrainians God love them. Putin is a menace to the world, not just Ukraine. Can only hope for some sort of diplomatic and peaceful outcome but that is wishful thinking. I think Putin is locked in some sort of Soviet era time warp, yearning for the days when the Soviet Union was respected and feared. A bit like the Brits with their Brexit and taking back control nonsense. I watched a good show on Prime last night called Citizen K about one of the Russian oligarchs in exile in England and how he is trying to vain to topple Putin from afar. There was one chilling quote from Putin from a few years back which makes me seriously doubt he gives a toss about all these sanctions the world is imposing.. "It would have been great for us if those who want to introduce sanctions had introduced them all at once, & as soon as possible. This would have untied our hands to protect our national interests by the means that we consider the most efficient" Make of that what you will. It seems to me that Putin is calling the West's bluff. There is zero appetite for armed conflict after the utter fiasco in Afghanistan. So he is willing to pummel the Ukraine into oblivion and sanctions be damned.

Putin is a former KGB agent in Soviet Era. He wants to restore that outdated concept, and operates as a dictator. Any opposition, is either dead or in jail. Putin is hoping the West will do nothing about Ukraine, it's a big test for them. Militarily Russia has not got the quick win they hoped for, so they resorted to civilian targets as we see. I think Putin's error will be the end of him, he will be taken out internally. Russia sadly has no tradition of a parliamentary system, they went from Czar to Soviets, until the end of Communism. The ordinary Russian needs a change from autocrats, hopefully they will get a real chance of a normal life. I hope Ukraine prevail for everyone's sake. Looking forward to the GAA, will Kerry win Sam do you think? Keep up the interest in the championships. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1751 - 05/04/2022 14:05:22 2409763 Link 0 |
Kerry are looking very good at the moment alright. Scary to think that Sean O'Shea still has to come back in. For me, their improvement in defence has been moist impressive. Tally has done a good job down there with them. I'd still have some concerns about their midfield but as of this moment you'd have to say they're favourites.
