That's fair enough Whiffle - I'm sure you're not disagreeing just because it's me saying that. I do take exception to the "mean spirited" accusation though. I thought this was a Cardiff prediction league in the main for Cardiff supporters with one or two welcomed guests. I just don't want it diluted by the inclusion of posters who we've never heard of nor interacted with before. Like I said, if others want it that way then fair enough - I just think it will spoil the collective spirit we (sometimes) show on here. I'd be inclined to abandon it myself if it went that way.
My first instinct is that I agree with Sparks but if others want them included then that's fine too......... I think a poster should at least occasionally post on our board to be included but on the other hand this is Sheep's game. If he's happy to process all the extra players then I don't really suppose it'll make a lot of difference to us lot.
I'm with Sparks on this. How do we know that those are not just shadow posters for Musty - thus spreading his bets and increasing his chances of winning? Nothing personal Musty and apologies if totally wrong. Just raising a point that hasn't been mentioned. If they want to join in then they should sign up and post individually so at least they create some sort of audit trail.
Blackburn 2 City 1 Sorry guys, for me our lack of match fit, game ready cb's is a major worry as I have said elsewhere. Whitts to score for us.
Have to agree with Sparky on this one, if they want to join in then fine but they should contribute something to the board. Them 2 Us 2 Whitts
Looks like we're in a minority about the clean sheet pal....... What a surprise it would be if, after all this CB bollux we've taken this past couple of weeks, we manage to shut them out. Just hope our much vaunted strike force can do the biz the other end.
Don't have confidence in our defence for this one. Blackburn 3 City 2 Maynard and Whitts with our goals.
Blimey not even a week in and Sparkey's pulling out the ultimatum! This is a difficult one as it is easy to agree with both sides of the argument. It's will dilute the bond of the league by having people who arn't even members of the forum involved yet what is the point of having a league if don't let people play. So I have spent most of the day thinking of a compromise! Musty's friends will join a newly created Division 2b where they can still predict but will not disrupt the current proceedings. Potential involvement in post season activities. Hope you understand Musty We're probably going to concede tomorrow. But Hudson's fit <yay> 2-2 with Whitts scoring one!
agree with sparky, i think we should allow jacks to join, but not a myriad of people that have never posted on this board…………. just seen she eps solution, thats fine…..
If posters want to post their own predictions then fine, they log on and predict. Not having one person making multiple predictions. Also, when they join they start at the bottom. If musty wants a load of alter egos he can go and play with himself and have a league of his own. This not predicting a scorer less than an hour before kick off is a bugger. With the options available to us, only picking one scorer means there's a fair chance that your prediction might not be playing. ARRRGGHHH. ok, here we go. Blackburn 1 - 3 Cardiff La Fondre
It's no ultimatum Sheepy - I'm sure you'd get along perfectly fine without me being involved. It's your prediction league and you run it the way you want - you've done a bloody great job over the years and as much as anything, brought the regular (and not so regular) Cardiff posters together on the board with a vehicle for us to join in with some chat that might otherwise go unsaid. Optimists and pessimists alike can all have a laugh and some banter with each other knowing that their only interests are those of our club - that would be impaired with the inclusion of non Cardiff supporters. Exceptions I would allow are as Swampy has mentioned - reasonable visiting posters from the jack board (Musty) or elsewhere who at least contribute to the forum, not faceless names with no connection whatsoever. This is my stance and opinion only. Your proposed solution seems to be a worthy compromise though I doubt it will bring anything to the "Blue Prophet Cardiff City Prediction League" other than to dilute it and make unnecessary work for yourself. I still don't see why such outsiders should be involved at all - let them form their own league. They have no interest for the CCFC and you're just providing a game for names with no significance to our club. They don't post on here and will have no involvement discussing the team, result nor our club in general - a complete waste of (your) time. Still, it's your league and your decision. From what you're saying, it does seem to separate them from Cardiff posters, and that's just the thing - what is then the point?
I would like to predict the first three games please Bluey -going on a summer Holiday Blackburn 1 Cardiff 2 Maynard Cardiff 2 Huddersfield 0 Jones Cardiff 2 Wigan 1 Maynard
Well i may as well put this one up as im going for the same Blue Sheep We are being dismissed about being poor defensively on last weeks game against Wolfsburg, we will not face the same quality strike force again this season unless in the cup. Yes we are missing Key defenders and the need to get one more in is of major importance, The 2 central defenders we play tonight may not be the quickest but they wont be facing Usain Bolt its likely to be Rudy (he makes Whitts look quick) and Rhodes who is also not famed for his speed. Come on people KTF and believe, because we will win this League
