Right everybody listen up! Four fixtures this week as outlined below - please get predictions in to [email protected] before 1.00pm on Friday 13th - failure to do so will be very unlucky!!

Right - all aboard for Week 6. Tyrone, Kerry, Cork, Galway and Armagh are the majority choice this week with a few brave souls going for Limerick, Leitrim and Cavan! Not a single vote for Clare surprisingly! Make sure ye check your selections as 5 matches is a lot to keep an eye on. If you see a discrepancy, drop me an email. Good Luck to all!

Week 6 correction:

Tomás Tralee 14 DOWN Kerry Cork Galway Draw

The relevant authorities have been informed.

I credited Tomas with Tyrone instead of Down - correct selection should read -

Before a ball is kicked on Sunday I want to reiterate below (posted earlier in the week)

Important to note - Regarding the Down/Tyrone game predictions will be based on the score after 70 mins. If it is level on the night there will be extra time but for the competition purposes the score at the end of normal time will count.

This means that those of you who picked Down will not score. The only brave soul to go for a draw after 70 mins is DannyMc - so he is 4 points up already.

Right - well done to DannyMc - the only one to get top marks (12) this week! Freddy and GMG just hanging on to the lead on 34 points with four behind on 32 - all from Ulster I think??? Anyway please check scores etc as there were a lot of games this week. Will post fixtures later - and remember will be looking for 2 weeks predictions. Thanks.

Right people - as I mentioned last week I won't be around next week as I am going on the holliers. So I am looking for predictions for week ending Sunday 22 June (3 fixtures in total) and for week ending 29 June (2 fixtures in total). All games outlined below.

If there is a draw in any game next week and the replay is the 29 June weekend please email any replay prediction to me during that week and I will pick it up when I get home. I will not be able to remind you of this so please note it now.

At the business end now with matches 22 to 26. Providing there are no replays it leaves just 4 provincial finals remaining - plus the qualifiers.

Week One

21 June
Ulster Semi-Final
Fermanagh v Derry (Omagh)

22 June
Connacht Semi-Final
Mayo v Sligo (McHale Park)

Leinster Semi-Final
Laois v Wexford (Croke Park)

Week 2

29 June
Ulster Semi-Final
Down v Armagh (Clones)

Leinster Semi-Final
Dublin v Westmeath (Croke Park)

Please get 'em in to [email protected] before 1.00pm on Friday next (20th) or earlier if you can.

34 out of 56 - 22 to go. I'm on a half-er tomorrow lads so 1.00pm deadline will be strictly adhered to. If you miss it you miss two weeks and at least 10 points - could be curtains for ya! Get 'em in!

Still waiting for 8 out of 56, including some regulars who are posting this am! If you miss this week you miss two weeks so get them in! Will be strictly sticking to 1.00pm today deadline.

Btw - Thanks to all for the holiday wishes. Have to say while there is a bit of work in it, the comp has been very enjoyable and I have probably got to know a few posters here a little better with the banter when they post predictions! Good crack. Then there are the ones that (constantly) send me just predictions - not a hello, regards or nothing - sometimes not even their usernames - its rude and does me head in!

No lads - I just believe in a bit of courtesy. Me twin and meself were born 3 weeks late cos we were both saying 'after you', 'no, after,you'. etc etc.

Right Enrico, Holymoly, Lifford Gael, Mossbags, Rich and Coco83 just 41 minutes left before a big hole is blown in your chances of 2008 Tipster Glory! You have been warned!

Right everyone - thanks for all yisser co-operation in getting them in today. Overwhelming support for Derry, Mayo ( but 3 brave Sligo pickers!) while the Wexford Laois tie sees the Yellowbelllies the most marginal favourites!

In order to continue the huge excitement, tension and suspense the competition has engendered both here and abroad, I am not gonna post the other 2 fixtures until next week (prob. Saturday evening) when I will also update scores from this weekends 3 games. That'll get yis tuning in!

If any of the games this w/e end level send me a prediction for the replay (on 70 minutes) if it is played on 28/29 June - prob. unlikely.

Right have a good scan as to what you picked in case there are errors cos despite what a lot of you think I am human :-)
