That 40pt penalty is looking rather arbitary and harsh.

Inspite of that, imagine how embarrasing it would be to then get beaten by a notreallythatinterestedinrugby Englishman... ;-)

It was based on maxxi entering round 1 and scoring -37. Wouldn't be fair for late starters to begin with a better score than he.

It would've been fairer to have worked around the average score not the lowest...

Not to maxxi. Besides there are only 5 rounds and one of the rules was you must enter all 5. Given the additional entries I asked for comments as to what amendment to the rules might be suitable, and none was forthcoming.


Besides there are so many potential points to be won/lost, -40 isn't huge. Also it continues to apply for other non entries.

To be fair RD, your opening round score of -27 was the week's best score by 15 points with the worst being -90 so I think the Unionmaxxi (as oppposed to the Assocmaxxi) of -40 is probably about right.


I'm also presuming it's 40 points per round missed so you wouldn't go top - but two more rounds continuing with your current success rate and you will end up on top. :)


Now, how many points for a basket outside the 'D'?


Italy 22 - 16 Wales

England 38 - 20 France

Scotland 34 - 17 Ireland

Damn you pesky maxxi, that'll be his Get Out of Jail card...it's not like I make up the rules as I go along in the Footy predictor game.

True but you haven't invented some tortuous Duckworth-lewis system for points either RD - just imagine the cursing and screaming coming from AM's house as he sweats over another Excel sheet.... "Right, well you got the result right but estimated too many points for A and not enough for B and there's no draw bonus and your name begins with an R and it's after 3 o'clock..."

I can't put England down for a win - I just cant type the right keys on the keyboard.

I have the same problem with Miwwaw in the FA Cup Mick, it's a bruiser when it comes to points but at least one feels unsullied.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
