You are joking, aren't you?

Come on Deano, ffs! I've got a five pun note burning a hole in me shellsuit here. Sort it out!


Lad I work with was down to the final 2 in his local, at the weekend. Other bloke went for Walsall (I think) who drew or lost. My mate had Chelsea in the tea time game. Was for £800 an all

What's not working? I've just tested it again and it's working fine for me...

Edit: I'm down to the final 4 in my family/friends Premier League one for £220. Getting difficult now mind. Gone with Palace to beat W.Brom next weekend.

'Entry form' link...

*sigh* Somebody could've told me

Should be working fine now.

4 entries already! They're flying in...imagine if there hadn't been a problem with links for the past 18 hours or so

Remember, a £50 guaranteed prize pot, which will then rise as the entries get above 12.

5th entry received.

We're up to 8 entries now.

Is there a reason why I can't just transfer using internet banking?

Absolutely not - drop me an email and we'll sort that out.

I hope the pair of stupid tw@ts who picked Exeter are regretting it now.

Reminder that the deadline for Round 3 selections is 12pm today.

And then there were 16. Round 3 see's the first casualty!

Still waiting for 10 submissions for Round 4. Deadline 12pm tomorrow.

Is 12.00 p.m. tomorrow the deadline for selections on the Cambridge v Bristol Rovers game?

Yep, 12pm (midday) as always

Am I right in thinking the Morecambe game was postponed on Friday evening? I wasn't at all confident so quite happy about that..

Correct, there were 2 matches postponed in the end I think. Rules cover this scenario, it's a difficult situation to deal with. Will send out results later.

cufcdeano wrote: Id put Morecambe, what happens?

Portsmouth the useless gets!!

We get a free pass and can't have Morecambe again..

Are you using the Squarepass rules?

No

One suggestion I've had today is for people to make 2 predictions, giving themselves a Plan B so to speak in case of postponed matches. Personally I don't think that'd work. This is the first week we've had postponed games since the competition started. In addition, what happens if both teams are involved in a game that is postponed?

I'll happily be your pools panel and tell you what the result is.
