Hi All At the end of last season Tramore stepped down from running the Prediction League after brilliantly running it for the past 3 or 4 years. These are big shoes to step in to and no-one put their heads above the barricade to offer to take over, so I am going to have an attempt at it. However, I thought it might be an idea to have a bit of a trial run first though, to see how it goes. So I am going to try and run a World Cup prediction league, more as a learning curve for me. I am not quite sure how to do it as the group stages matches are near on continuous for the first two weeks, but will think of some cunning plan (e.g. choosing one match from each group, per stage/round and then every match from then on) but any other ideas would be very much appreciated. So watch out for this upcoming exciting event, it is a plan to keep you all occupied even after England makes their early ignominious exit. Perhaps we can find our own Paul the Octopus!
Who needs Paul when we've got TeD I'm sure whatever plan you come up with will be taken on board by us all - good luck.
Good idea Beth. I'm sure England will make their usual early exit. How do you think Wales will do? ......Oh, wait....
Col...you do realise I have to go on the attack here, nothing personal but I just have to do it....I am sure you understand! Ok....one word, no three, "2018 6 nations rugby".....okay that is 4 words...but I have had a G&T
After the Welsh players were filmed crazily celebrating when England lost to Iceland I will now forever rejoice in Welsh footballing failure.
In apology After Eddie Jones comments about Welsh rugby I too feel the same. So lets beg to differ.. I still think you are the most astute tactician on this board Col....and know the most about birds (feathered) too
Tramore ran a prediction league during the Euros.... Prediction League - Euro 16 Prediction League.... Forum | Not606 https://www.not606.com/threads/euro-16-prediction-league.330748/ Don't think you'll be able to follow his model though as he used the home nations, and only England made it through this time. Maybe pick a match per day Beth, dependant upon how much time you have available?
Nice one Beth.... All I will say is don't try to cover too many games as you'll just get bogged down with keeping track of scores etc especially during the group stages when there are so many games on every day........maybe a couple of games every 2nd day or so during the group stages then a selection of games from last 16 onwards.........
I’m hoping to see the Aussies excel in this tournament and actually draw one game. With Italy not there, l can’t even offer free pizza for every game won ( like the last WC ) ..... so l’ll have to settle on downing a beer for each goal we score. Luckily, my gin & tonics will fill any void.
Hi all you predictors Stroller has come in to offer to run the prediction league, which is really nice of him....So I am quickly passing over the baton to Stroller. So be nice to him as he sets it all up Beth
