Yeah in fairness people, JayoC is doing us all a favour here by organising this so lets not make it any harder on him than necessary.
Good Man Jayo.

Whoa lads - easy - but thanks for the support! In fairness closing time doesn't happen till 1.00pm so I have no prob with getting predictions up to that - earlier would make it handier for me - but 1.00 is largely fine. The main prob is chasing a couple of people up who I haven't heard from but are active here. I could be hardline and say sod off but I don't want to do that. BUt if they'd just let me know where they stand I'd appreciate that!

Right all - predictions for Week 4 (matches 11-13) now below (current score after your name). 54 players playing this week, with no emails from 5 players. As I haven't heard from Snufalufagus or Fidel Custard for 3 weeks their names have been removed from the competition leaving 57 players.

I'd say it's the widest spread so far with plenty going for supposed underdogs Wicklow and Wexford against Laois and Meath - though not many going for draws here which is a bit surprising. Donegal, Derry and the draw all getting plenty of nods, possibly indicating how tight it will be!

Please ensure that I have credited you with correct predictions. Good Luck to all!

It has been pointed out to me from an irate Legend92 that he had picked Donegal and not Derry and a quick check of my vast database (not that one was needed in this case) confirms this to be the case. So in case any of you thought he was trying to impress Niamh it wasn't the case and I just got it wrong. Apologies to his family and next of kin for the slight! It pays to check!

Firstly, congrats to Freddy15 - who holds the lead alone on 22 points - only one wrong prediction from 12 games - well done Sir! Also a mention to Jim from Wexford - the only other player who got 6 outta 6 this weekend! 5 more players on 20 and a stack on 18!

If you have any problem with the score credited to you - email me and I'll look into it! Laois scrape through, Derry win in Ballybofey and Wexford come back from the dead - I think we're up and running!

Well NSG - may be more than a grain of truth to that! Advise all players to check scores as 7 pints of Bulmers can play havoc with spreadsheets and maths! One slight mistake - I said Freddy15 only had one wrong from 12 games - but there were 13 games so far - so its 2 wrong - still excellent predicting though, well done!

Right this weekend sees 3 more games so get 'em in to [email protected] before 1.00 pm on Friday please! Thanks!

Saturday
Leinster Senior Football Championship
Westmeath v Offaly (Tullamore)

Sunday
Ulster Senior Football Championship
Tyrone v Down (Omagh)

Leinster Senior Football Championship
Louth v Dublin (Croke Park)

Good to see interest still there in the competition.

Do any prospective bookies have any odds on it based on results so far or on some of the big name posters involved?

I know i had a stinker a few weeks ago and its left me way behind in the reckoning.

Right boys and girls! Just under an hour left before the steel doors slam shut on Week 5!

The predictions of seven players - some of whom are stalwarts of the boards and are posting this morning - are still awaited with anticipation!

Please get your predictions in to [email protected] - fixtures - Westmeath v Offaly, Tyrone v Down and Louth v Dublin.

If you are retiring please let me know this too.

With none of our current top 10 scorers in action this weekend it sets the stage for a few new entries to the list. Alot of big guns in action - Tyrone, Dublin & Kerry as well as some good scorers from smaller counties such as McNamee (Offaly), Dolan (Westmeath), Glennon (Westmeath), Mangan (Westmeath), Lennon (Louth), Hoey (Louth) & Coulter (Down). Anybody any tips for others?

Right lads - we have a predominant Westmeath, Tyrone, Dublin selection this week. 3 brave souls went for Louth - all the best lads - not really! A limited few for Down and some for Offaly. Let the games begin!

Compiled with 8 pints of Bulmers - any probs email me! Good Luck!

Well boys and girls we finally got our first draw thanks to some astute substitutions by Ross Carr and four of our canny tipsters foresaw this - plus the other two results to bag themselves 8 points this week! Well done to Bald Eagle, Fr Tierney (divine inspiration ??), Tir Chonaill Abu and to GMG who joins Freddy15 at the top on 26 points! Commiserations to Jakestevens81 who zilched out. As Larry Gogan would say - they just didn't suit ya! The other two zero scores did not send me anything this week.

I will post separately about next week's fixtures - there will be an important clarification in the post - please be aware! Any queries on these scores you know how to contact me.
