    Very Happy Jag still leads by 9 points. A perfect round propels Auld Jag up to third.

    8 players dreams now lie shattered and burned. Hope and ambition reduced to splinters and ash. How did it go so wrong?
    That, my friends, is a question for another day.

    Men's Quarter Finals fixtures

        Greenock Morton   v   Heart of Midlothian   -  H1
        Celtic   v   Livingston
        Aberdeen   v   Kilmarnock
        Hibernian   v   Rangers
        
    Men's Quarter Finals predictions worth 6 points each. 

    Men's & Women's QFs are played on the same weekend (9 & 10 March). Therefore, same deadline for both.

    Deadline 1pm, Friday 8 March


    14 ties left to play. It's time to make predictions count.

    From the Quarter Finals you can post predictions as normal or send them by PM. The choice is yours. Any predictions sent by PM will be posted on the thread, after the deadline, for transparency.

    You can change your predictions at any time before the deadline. However, if you choose to post predictions on the thread, you cannot subsequently change them by PM.

    Predictions received after the deadline will be invalid.

    It may work in rugby but I don't see how it will improve football. Teams will use legitimate time wasting tactics to slow the game down while they have a player in the sin bin. Who wants to see the ball taken in to the corner in the first half, it's bad enough at the end of the game.

    Referees won't punish everyone for cynicism, dissent etc. or we'll be playing 7 v 8. In a scenario where a group of angry players confront the referee, will he instantly reduce that team to 7 players (or 6, and abandon the game)? Referees will use their discretion as they do now and face criticism of bias.

    I'm all for cutting out the cynicism but football needs to find an appropriate sanction. My suggestion would be to award a free kick to be taken anywhere the team  chooses, outside the penalty area. If offences continue then award a penalty.

    I will use the lady-isobel-barnett defence here. I haven't thoroughly thought this through.
