Sorry Don, you'll have to pick something else. CUFC17 already bagsied that one. I've had difficulty connecting this evening so haven't been able to update the thread but he got his call in before you.

Sorry about the lack of updates. This forum doesn't seem to be working for me this evening. Every now and then I can manage to squeeze out a regular forum post, but I'm having some difficulty updating the original post.

 

[shoddycollins]

OK, I'm back, and all is updated.

Are you gonna select something else?

 

[Don Tonberry]

Sure, let's go for something simple.

Matt Tubbs for top goal scorer at 8/1.

Chasing Rainbows prediction looks to be in some trouble

Chasing Rainbows prediction looks to be in some trouble

I would say "About as much trouble as Tom_CUFC", but Don Becchetti is probably about to sack Hendon and replace him with a statue of Mussolini.

 

[Wombling Kiwi]

After our win today Wimbledon looking good for me.

Heh. Keep dreaming.

 

[shoddycollins]

Chasing Rainbows is out of this already

With Northampton on 6 points and Dagenham on 1, and with only one game to play in August, It is mathematically impossible for Northampton to be bottom on the 1st of September.

 

[jacobncfc]

Can get 40/1 on McLeod being top scorer, which isn't bad considering his total in League One last season would've had him second top scorer in this league...

Was that with him as a Crawley player? or is it now?

 

[jacobncfc]

Now, at Coral.

 

[shoddycollins]

Now, at Coral.

Surprising since he's been commanded to score 25 goals. Jabo will take some catching though.

Just an idea I had for a forum game.

Find a bookie offering odds of 25/1 or longer on something you have a sneaky suspicion will come true and call it in this thread.

At the end of the season the person who correctly called the thing with the longest odds wins.

The rules are:

• The thing you call must be related to League Two or one of the teams, players/managers etc. in it
• It also must be related to the season 2015/16.
• You must have found a bookie offering odds of 25/1 or longer on it
• You must post a link to where you found it on the thread so people can check on it.
• Only one call per forum member
• No two forum members can call the same thing
• All calls must be made by kick off on the first day of the season
• Up until then you can change your call
• At the end of the season the correct call with the highest odds wins
• In the event of a tie it will be put to a vote to decide who made the best call.
• I haven't decided yet how to determine the winner in the (likely) event that nobody calls anything correnctly, but it will something along the lines of deciding who came closest to being right and/or holding a vote. It's just a bit of fun so it isn't too important that we have a rigorous process.

CALLS SO FAR
TeacherMan - Jamie Cureton as top scorer - 25/1
Wombling Kiwi - Wimbledon to be champions - 37/1
shoddycollins - Stevenage to finish bottom of the table - 25/1
Richard Cranium - Matt Green as top scorer - 40/1
Chasing Rainbows - Northampton to be bottom on 1st of September - 25/1
daviejones - Lyle Taylor as top scorer - 33/1
Judge Dredd - Luton & Cambridge in the top two - 100/1
ComeOnIrene - Jermaine Easter as top scorer - 66/1
Vanni - Rakish Bingham as top scorer - 133/2
Tom_CUFC - Orient to be relegated - 33/1
jamesslater01 - Billy Kee as top scorer - 40/1
StagsForLife - Ollie Palmer as top scorer - 100/1
cufc17 - Luton & Northampton in the top two - 80/1
Look Out There Are Llamas - Luton & Portsmouth in the top two - 40/1
TowcesterCobbler67 - Alex Nicholls as top scorer - 66/1
Don Tonberry - Morecambe to win the playoffs - 33/1
Grecian O'Grecian - Tom Nichols as top scorer - 40/1

so, for example, from just the top two. If Jamie Cureton finishes the season as top scorer and Wimbledon finish as champions then Kiwi would win with the longer odds. However if Cureton finishes as top scorer but Wimbledon aren't champions then Teacher wins.

Also, just to remind you again, you can change what you've called up to kick-off on the opening day of the season, but please do so in a new post rather than by editing your original one. I'll be in Edinburgh but should be able to make final checks on any last minute changes. It's not just what you've called that can change, but you can also update the odds if they lengthen, you don't have to update them if they shorten (if they shorten it's evidence you made a good call and more power to you for doing so) but are perfectly entitled to claim the longest odds you can find on the thing you've called right up till kick-off.

I'm not looking too bad, most of the Top scorer picks are not in the top 26 scorers. Might as well send me my prize now .................................................... oh hang on there was no prize, I can see the headlines now "Womble ripped off again".
Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Oh I harbour strong hopes of taking home the prize myself.

I still plan to create a league table for this to show how everyone is doing throughout the season. The method is already set upon in my head, I just lag in the implementation.
