Congrats to the Star of the Show, Warmy, the only one astute (daft?) enough to predict a Clarets win.

Got to with daft sinkov. I just can't bring myself to predict a defeat!

Brave is probably better, well done anyway mate.

Thank you sinkov. On reflection, I think if someone correctly predicts a result that is very unlikely, extra points should be awarded.

For example, Fulham away. 12 posters said we’d lose and 3 went for draw. Only 1 poster said we’d win. Given the unlikelihood factor that poster should get an additional 20 points I reckon.

You make a good point Warmy, I shall ask the committee to consider your proposal at the next AGM. In the meantime you should console yourself with the thought that the current scoring system did indeed reward you for your prediction, even though you didn't get the score right. You got 2 points, Will got 1 point for predicting our two goals, everyone else got feck all. The thought lingers at the back of my mind, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'.
