derry you missed deadline you posted at 10:01

unluckyyyyy if you count your post its a fix

Well then it must be a fix becuase, I'm counting it.

If it were anyone else, then I would do the same. Plus my machine was 9.58 when I pressed post and my machine is 2 minutes slow. So that would then mean I was anything from 1 second to 10 seconds late. Hardly rocking the boat.

not many predictions because you didnt do 1 for a week or 2 so ppl have forgotten also you gave us little time

From nearly 5 days ago...

Fairs fair, you cant say fairer than that!

crap i forgot damn

doesnt matter still late no way for us to know if your computer clock is slow

and it was over a minute

lol whoever put chelsea is in trouble

chelsea plying so bad

i agree with virt here, you set the deadline, so you had no excuses

you set this weeks 1 thursday at round 1pm not enough tie in my view

last prediction thingy we did was round 14 days ago so ppl are going to forget even with you post 5 days ago

yes fair is fair however, normally you give 4-7 days for predictions instead of 2-3 days this time round.

tbh if you dont like what the league runner is doing you could leave lol. tbh i cba as well . i missed one and i know i wont win so no point. i would like to b withdrawed from league please

Was a bit short...2bh if people had posted predictions before 3pm that didnt include Tottenham or Arsenal I'd have argued a case for them to be counted.

He went over by a few mins hardly a fix.

true should give up to 10 minutes leeway imo then make it final.

How can any predictions be called a fix anyway?

A fix would be me and derry knowing the exact outcome. Yeah me and Derry blatently talked to Harry and Arsene to fix the Spurs game to be 3-2.

This finishes on Jan 1st. (Don't forget the big 'review' prediction we set is this day)

A new table may be set up for the remainder of the season, though given the above posts i doubt people care.

Dgen, you said we give 4-7 days notice... I gave a 4-7 day warning. So I don't actually see the problem.

I don't see why I should even attempt to defend myself but as you need to be spoon fed everything via me e-mailing you letting you know when to make predictions, I will defend myself.

Firstly, it was anything up to 59 seconds. If I posted at 10:00, then that would be dead on. I posted at 10:01, meaning I was anything between 1-59 seconds. Less than a minute. If you really think the league is fixed because of me posting a matter of seconds late then go ahead and make your conspiricy theories.

Fact of the matter is, Brighton let a 90th minute goal in, which means I score zero points. So you can say "justice was served" if you really wish, its no skin off my teeth.

Secondly, if the people that have posted in a negative fashion concerning the amount of time in which you can predict, you had over 2 days. Especially when most of the people that have posted saying it isnt enough time are on this site for at least 10 hours a day, I dont see that excuse as exceptable. Especially you Sarah, I beleive you are running a carom league atm, you must know first hand it can be hard work running it, well myself and Mooney have to work 5x as hard. So for you to sit there a slag it off is dirty.

Cue_crusher removed with immediate effect. Don't you dare ask to be put back in this season, next season, or for any other season in fact.

We gave you a second chance to let you back in first time round, what is wrong with you.

If anyone else doesn't respect me and Mooney for what we are trying to do, which is create activity and fun which doesn't benefit us in any way possible, then seriously, just leave.

I'm not going to brainstorm events, post them, message everyone, then check every single persons predictions to see how many points they scored, for me to be called a cheat and for it to be disgraced by contestants.

If you want to leave, just leave. I don't have time for pathetic, ignorant and uneducated people ranting about something such as this, which is meant to be footballing fun.

For the record, I wasn't insinuating that any user of this site was Ignorant, pathetic or uneducated. I was emphasising.

kl gl all

im just saying it doesnt matter whether you miss the deadline by 10 seconds or 10 hours you still missed the deadline.

deadline- the point in time at which something must be completed.

you hadnt completed it by the deadline

you say other people cant change or add things to their predictions after or even before the deadline, i dont see why there is a different set of rules for you

This weeks results -

Mooney ------------ 10 points
Max_is_back ---- 3 points
G_echo_l --------- 2 points
__Jayy__ ---------- 1 point
Nicko --------------- 1 point

With Cue_power, Buzzboxxuk & Si123 scoring a big juicy zer0!



Making the tables look like... ---

Pos -------------------- Name ----------------------- Points
1st ------------------- Mooney------------------------54
2nd----------------- Cue_power ---------------------52
3rd ------------------- Virt_slayer -------------------50
4th ------------------- Mooney------------------------44
5th ---------------------- J_d ---------------------------42
6th -------------------- Si123 --------------------------41
= ------------------ G_echo_l -----------------------41
8th--------------------The_kop ------------------------37
9th -------------------- Sarahh -------------------------34
10th ---------------- Max_is_back-------------------33
11th---------------- 2hot2handle ---------------------28
12th ------------------- Nicko --------------------------27
13th -------------------__Jayy__ --------------------- 26
14th ----------------Buzzboxxuk --------------------- 23
15th ----------------Virtuoso147_ ------------------ 22


So, Mooney leap frogs top two to go top of the league!

Like I said Alex, if it were anyone else that missed the deadline by a couple of seconds, then I would never not allow it to stand.

To be honest aswell, I could of just posted, then edited it before 2 minutes so that it wouldnt of been edited. Or I could of posted, then made up an edit. Fact is I didnt think anyone would seriously get their knickers in a twist over a matter of seconds.

I agree deadlines are there for a reason, but its not as particular as on the dot or else.

Incase this scenario repeats, there will be a period of 5 minutes in which the deadline can stretch to. 5 Minutes nothing more. If you post 6 minutes past the deadline, your post will not count.
