Private Message [ONLY!] Predictions to RamblersWeb
{sort of restricts it to Foot.ie members}. Cut and paste the fixtures, and click on the 'send PM' button at the bottom of the message

If predictions arrive after a game has kicked off, then the prediction for that game is void. Only League games count.


Now the bloody spreadsheet better work! It has in testing anyhow!

First Fixtures:
01/08 Derry v Longford
02/08 Bohemians v Shamrock Rovers
02/08 Drogheda v Cork
02/08 Pats v Bray
02/08 UCD v Shelbourne

Results will be posted here, of if that annoys too many people I'll add a page onto RamblersWeb.

Fair play RamblersWeb... Should be a bit of craic...

What kind of traffic will this generate? I can set up a private forum for it if you want?

adam

a forum would be useful to display the weekly results alright and the league table all right...

if poss can you do this then?

cheers

glen

How does this work exactly? Do we just PM you what we think the scores will be, e.g. UCD 1-0 $hels or whatever or is there more to it?

I'm a bit thick, so I don't know how this works. Do you need any special settings here?

adam

Maybe just need a page to display a spreadsheet as be talking about 50 absolute max people?

PM predictions to QueenstownWeb ;) & he can update them?

YEP people that's basically it... 9 sets of predictions in already... they are good and early cos no league action this week.

PM predictions to me [otherwise page would get crazy + it means you don't have benefit of other people's predictions]

I;ll post fixtures here, then just cut 'n' paste fixtures onto PM and add your predictions

For the record mine this week are...

Derry - Longford 1-0
Bohemians - Shamrock Rovers 1-1
Drogheda - Cork City 0-1
St Pats - Bray 1-0
UCD - Shels 1-2

You've got a few weeks before the first division starts, so the first few weeks will be a bit low scoring, thus late starters will be able to catch up a bit easier!

Eugene's was more complicated... he had 2 divisions, promotion & relegation, and the worst scores were dropped.... but that'd give me too many headaches when i should be writing a thesis...


Is it possible to post something here in tabular form / or as mentioned above, a spreadsheet

Not exactly, but I'll set up a subsite for you, and I'll write a CVS parser to display the information on the site. I'll need some technical detail to do that though, so anything you have, send it on to <storage@spamfilter.cc>.

I've done up a small little graphic if you want to try and get some webmasters to put it on their site, linking it to here.

I have it on the front page of my site if you want to download it.

First Fixtures:
01/08 Derry v Longford
02/08 Bohemians v Shamrock Rovers
02/08 Drogheda v Cork
02/08 Pats v Bray
02/08 UCD v Shelbourne

I presume you sticking with these & not adding rearranged Pats v Rovers on monday? Also to further complicate you probably not going to bother with Pats v Bray as thats postponed & will just add at a later date?

sticking with the original fixtures;

rearranged fixture will be included in Week 2... so ppl will have to get their predictions in EARLY next week!! Once week 1 predictions close, week 2 predictions will open immediately.

Where possible after that the week will finish on Monday night to allow for 'Dublin City' playing on Mon night.

nifty graphic ray! cheers!

When must we have the next lot in by? and can you still join in?

see next mesage for week 2 fixtures...

get them in by 7pm Friday.

New participants are indeed welcome...

Week 1 results will be posted when fixtures are completed...
