I've just noticed this thread has gone over the 10,000 hit mark! Have to say that personally this makes the effort worthwhile and proves that we all like nothing better than a bit of fortune telling and punditry!

Your help throughout and delivery of predictions - on time mostly - is appreciated as are all the little bits of gossip and crack that accompany a lot of your predictions evey week. Great crack and some real good souls taking part I have to say! When I threw the idea out last April I didn't think we'd have over 50 players - much less did I think we'd still have the vast majority of posters still participating 3 months later! So thanks again - only a few to go and it just wouldn't be the same if I didn't end by saying - get 'em in!

Right 50 in for this weekend. If Legend92 is reading this drop me an email - I have a feeling you sent me predictions but can't fine them anywhere and may have deleted in error!! RoyalCountyStar - I know you're out in Oz (possibly looking for players for Dublin :-) ) so if you can get back to me before midnight I'll give ya a chance!!

Combination of Armagh / Kerry / Cork is the biggest majority vote with 58% (God it's so easy to do percentages with 50 players!!!). Loyal is attempting to eat up the ground by picking 3 draws - otherwise very few draw predictions! 7 go for Wexford, 10 for Galway and just 4 for Kildare. Otherwise its all Armagh (84%), Cork (86%) and Kerry (78%).

Nearly there now - 10,000 hits later!!! So here they are good luck to all!!

You're starting to show off now with all these stats Jayo, and you're bringing new meaning to "the percentage game". Keep up the good work!

Well Bald Eagle as I suspected earlier Legend 92 had indeed sent me a selection of Armagh, Kerry and Cork so the number of players this week is now 51 which totally mucks up the simple percentage calculations - BAH!

Well done on breaking the 10k barrier JC... only bested by the non Gaa thread - oh the irony!

No real change at the top with most players scoring 4 points. The main beneficiary of Wexford's great win was Jim who got the 6 points to move himself onto 66 - 4 off CLG who still leads on 70. Well done too to Floops, Tomás and Dessie15 who got the max! GMG and Flanders remain 2 behind on 68. Jim is joined on 66 by '6 in a row', HornNeck and S Man - with 6 players two points further back on 64. Loyal's draw strategy backfired and saw him zero out this week! All details below. Barring replays, just 4 matches to go!!

Right 46 playing this week - with 6 no-shows and some very surprising names among them! I reckon we've lost Royal County Star to the Australian outback - so we have 52 players left.

12 players opt for Tyrone (most Ulster posters retaining provincial loyalty), 2 players go for the draw with the remaining 32 players all favouring the Dubs! As the impartial host of this long running saga may I wish everyone the best of luck this week - especially the other 31 people who share my pick!!!!!!!! Selections below - game on!

Right, after that hiding on Saturday I am abandoning the competition - ha! Not! Well done to the correct tipsters - after Saturday I think my chances are now the same as those of the Dubs winning Sam. The main beneficiary at the top was Wexford Jim whose 2 points moves him within 2 of CLG. There are only 3 games left (minus possible draws) so many cannot win now but please keep it going anyway - sure we've come this far! And there'll be a big league table (hall of shame!!) at the end!

Just to let ye all know early - I am gonna call for predictions for both semis (Cork-Kerry and Tyrone-Wexford) by this Friday. It just makes it easier for me - if y'all don't mind!!

Right Lads and Gents keep 'em coming! Looking for predictions for BOTH semis this week - it'll save me a lot of hassle if ye don't mind! Had a few surprising no shows last week! There is only the Final left after this call (17 weeks and 54 games later!) - so even if ye can't win keep it going - places on the league table at stake!!!

So get them to [email protected] before noon on Friday next -
