I'm in the rabo one but the feckers won't let me make my first week's selections.

thomond2006 · 31-08-2011 5:28pm

Just made my picks for Round 1, don't forget to make yours!

Pool application is still open!

thomond2006 · 31-08-2011 11:56pm

31 in Pro12, 17 in Premiership

conf101 · 01-09-2011 10:50am

Just made my picks. Some games very hard to choose with all the RWC players away

murphym7 · 01-09-2011 11:55am

Don't forget - there is a €100 Restaurant voucher for a restaurant of the winners choice this year. Not as fancy as €200 worth of power tools, but its out of my own pocket.

Good luck.

thomond2006 · 02-09-2011 2:54pm

I'm near a computer today so you can still join up before this round kicks off at 7pm

durkadurka · 02-09-2011 3:28pm

I've just noticed they have a nice new mobile version of the site which is handy for last minute picks.

Off to a not three shabby start...

thomond2006 · 02-09-2011 11:09pm

Nice start for me. 3 predictions from 3, no bonus points yet but considering my usual ****e picks I'll take that!

0lordy · 03-09-2011 12:10pm

Feck, somehow missed the start, and only got three predictions in for this round. Any chance I can still join?

Bloody hell I wasn't expecting Edinburgh to be THAT bad

thomond2006 · 04-09-2011 6:09pm

Hagz · 04-09-2011 6:17pm

Yes. Just made it into the top 10.

durkadurka · 10-09-2011 5:05pm

I think thomond has been staying back after class with teacher

2nd place, seperated by match points difference baby!

Podge_irl · 12-09-2011 12:19am

Fear my mighty 22nd!!!

Teferi · 12-09-2011 12:22am

Can you accept me into that group Thomond or is too late?

24-09-2011 7:30pm

nom nom nom. We're doing pretty good as a pool!

Enjoying this, need to keep remembering to get them done throughout the year though..

Nailed the Leinster result, Emmet. I'd have had some breathing room otherwise! :mad:

thomond2006 · 24-09-2011 9:06pm

I'm fourth and very happy!

durkadurka · 24-09-2011 9:10pm

Mid table obscurity as usual for me.

09-10-2011 10:06am

fml, 5 correct from the last 12, after steaming into a big score I'm drifting into obscurity.

GerM · 09-10-2011 10:10am

Joint top of the global league.

thomond2006 · 09-10-2011 10:32am

Got a lot wrong this week but I most of us had the same predictions.

thomond2006 · 28-10-2011 5:42pm

Get your picks in!

29-10-2011 11:38am

the decline continues...

durkadurka · 29-10-2011 5:27pm

Up to sixth

Hagz · 31-10-2011 2:40pm

That awkward moment when a Munster fan picks Leinster to win because they don't want to drop down the table;)

durkadurka · 26-12-2011 9:55pm

Up to third. I bet ceemec and cill dara are cacking themselves!

To be honest, I have missed the last couple of rounds. I was angry with myself at first but I've come to accept that I'm simply too lethargic to do it for a season. My 3 week spell as first on the global table will be engraved on my gravestone.

durkadurka · 26-12-2011 10:11pm

Where's the dislike button????

I requested it be disabled.

Ya got me. I've been giving it my all. Studying the games, staying up late and analysing form. The pressure is getting to me though. Think it's slipping away.

durkadurka · 08-01-2012 8:52pm

Into second place!

Whoseyodaddy!

There won't be a goat milked in Durkadurkastan tomorrow.

durkadurka · 09-02-2012 9:34pm

*Coughs*

durkadurka · 22-04-2012 8:18pm

One week to go and it's neck and neck in a fight to the death

I hope you converted that predicting into profit!

Not much of a gambler.
It's pretty bizarre. I'm following feckin aironi vs Glasgow on the Rabo live updates thing praying for a last minute try.

I stumbled arseways into the lead (or close to it )at Christmas and since then I've been studying team sheets, odds, factoring in my own personal bias etc.

And then mad sh1t happens like a flukey conversion in the last second of a game that costs you two points.
Anyway it's all very amusing trying to outwit murphym7 when he makes what looks like a crazy selection and then it comes true.

I'm a gibbering wreck I tells ya.

23-04-2012 7:23am

some discipline required to do every single game of the season. I, without fail, have not lasted more than 6 weeks regardless of performance.

The 6N and HEC ones are far easier to keep up to date with.

murphym7 · 29-05-2012 7:13am

Well its all over - a close run thing in the end - congratulations to DurkaDurka, he was the only real competition to my awesomeness this year and caught me right at the end (ya fecker). As promised 100 squids is on its way to you - I will PM you later and we can sort out the details. Well done bud!:)

durkadurka · 29-05-2012 7:46am

Aww shucks!

And all I really wanted was the respect and admiration of my peers!

Seriously it was great craic this year. Me and murphym7 have been slugging it out for five months.

Thanks a mill for the prize. Absolute gent.

I will of course offer it up for next year to anyone who can outlast me over a nine month season!
