If one or two Roscommon posters predictions were right Mayo would have been relegated without winning a single game…oh well ;)

Replying To yew_tree: "If one or two Roscommon posters predictions were right Mayo would have been relegated without winning a single game…oh well ;)" Unfortunately there's always a few bitter posters from every county. A certain Leitrim and Meath poster could never bring themselves to put Roscommon down for a win on the weekly predictions. Must be awful to lead such a dull and miserable life. Personally I'm delighted that there'll be 3 Connacht teams in Division 1 next year. I'll obviously always shout for Ros but I also love to see my fellow Connacht teams do well and will always shout for Galway or Mayo if we have exited the championship. Also on a side note hard luck to Kildare. I was very impressed with them this league campaign. I didn't expect them to perform so well. Hopefully they can push on in the Leinster championship now

It's the lack of a scoreboard in Navan that has them unable to watch gaa any more there to busy ticking the big scores they concede and shouting out nicknames of there heroes been ripped assunder.

Right chaps if you're all happy enough this is what the updates Leaderboard looks like. Not much in it at all. Open to suggestion on the final weekend where we'll have 4 league finals down for decision.
My idea is that for the 4 league finals we go with the following:
Correct Result: 3 Draw: 5 Exact Winning Margin: 10

Good to see three Connacht teams in Div 1 again, best part is less traveling to do.

The scoring for the finals sounds good to me Lockjaw. It'll make the last round interesting.

I'm sure the league finals are finsihed on the day so just want to specify if all predicitons are for 70 mins only.... Granted could be still a draw before a penalty shoot out but that the only thing I was say that you should be clear on. Well done on running this!

So maybe we'll go with this:
1. Correct Result: 3 points (70 minutes only)
2. Draw in normal time = 5 points
3. Draw after extra time = 5 points
4. Team x to win on penalties = 7 points
5. Exact Winning Margin (In normal time or after extra time) = 10 points
Would that be fair enough?

Hmm actually those draw scenarios don't make sense. There can't really be a draw as such seeing as there must be a winner on the day so forget prediciting draws for the league finals.
We'll go with this:
Winner after 70 minutes = 3 points
Winner in the event of ET and penalties = 5 points
Correct Winning Margin (whether it be after 70 minutes or AET) = 10 points.
So if you pick Kerry to beat Mayo by 2 points and they get the job done in normal time it's ten points to you. And if it takes them Extra Time to do it, and they win by 2 points ya get 10 points.
Jesus here was me thinking the league final weekend predictions would be handily collated and organised but if anything they're an even bigger pian sa thóin. :D

Not going to lie mayo made so many changes every week I thought ye would slip up in a few games. Nothing against mayo just my prediction at the time. As for the Kildare game I thought Kildare had to win and how much did mayo want to win. Can't believe you actually went through all my predictions to be honest to see how many times I predicted mayo to get beat
