You're taking this to a new level! I'll sort out the cage fighting licence next week.

I suppose the answer would be to draw all of the contributors in one session. Then announce them individually over a period of time. Would need a couple of people to prepare and make the draw plus an independent witness. Should be possible. Anybody against this idea?

It does indeed, TSJ. Every Jags victory from now is worth at least £501. Briliant

A win tomorrow will pay for the reinstatement of 35m2 of the Firhill pitch. Get the players told Archie!

I love the simplicity of this, and the drama. The big problem would be demonstrating the probity of the process. If there is a solution to this then I'm all for it.

Congratulation JAGSMAN1968. Winner of Ryan Scully's home top. And a new highest points total.

From P&B: Varied, minimum of £10 per month for the period up to the strip confirmation though. Which I think was a year.

Yes. Well done Hearts. Demonstrates that the sum of the parts of Scottish football is greater than the hole at the top.

Quite a few more to come Deadline 9am Saturday

Predictions for Round 2

Predictions for Round 4

I'm sure that scratching the surface of any city in Britain in the 80s would uncover similar scenes. My first experience of Glasgow was in '85. I came up for a job interview which was on a Monday. I asked my prospective employer, the Citizens' Theatre, to book me into a hotel for the weekend so that I could 'interview' the city. They put me up in Babbity Bowsters. Had a great weekend. Managed to get to see Loudon Wainwright III at the Pavilion. On the Sunday evening I decided to walk to the Citz to see how long it would take in the morning. It was, of course, raining. As I crossed the bridge to the notorious Gorbals I heard the sound of running footsteps behind me. I whirled round ready to repel the Slasher of Gorbals Street. In his place there was a woman inviting me to share her umbrella. Embracing the people of Glasgow was an easy decision to make, leaving behind me the real slasher, Margaret Thatcher, and her No Society gang.

Don't tell my kids!

Started in November, ends in March. JAGSMAN1968 in the driving seat but if it finishes Hearts 2 Inverness 2 then Ladybug wins.

I know which side of the bus I would be on!

Update A few more to come. Deadline 7.44pm Wednesday

Could be two winners on Wednesday. Rid Skwerr & the PAYE fund!

Thanks MJ. Nothing decided yet. I think that we would need to finish with some sort of league as we would need to establish a top 6/7 (hopefully). Don't want there to be much possibility of a tied position around these places. Would be great if it didn't need much administration but with 154 entrants, that's not very likely. I have two reasons for thinking about the Euro Championships; first, it gives us something to do over the summer; second, I already have a few competitions to run until the end of the season for the Player Sponsorship. They take up a bit of my free time.
