Livi Prediction League 2014/15 - We Have a Winner

Prediction league for all of Livingston's games.

Rules

• Post what you think the score will be in the match thread on here to enter for that week. This will count to your overall points. Your overall points will remain the same, should you miss a week.
  
• 3 points for the correct score, 1 point for the correct result.
  
• Correct result in cup games after extra-time and/or penalties. e.g. 0-0 Livi on Pens, 1-0 Livi in 90 minutes, will earn the same point for a Livi victory. Correct score after 90 minutes.
  
• Starting from the Albion Rovers game, closest to the time for the first goalscorer wins a bonus point. In the event of a tie, bonus point will be split.

So we obviously beat QOTS 4-3. Delighted to be wrong and on 0 points.

Predictions were as follows:
EdinburghLivi - 1-0
Liviforever - 1-2
LiviLion - 2-1
Lexi Collector - 1-2
LiviCub - 3-0 (Boo, you deserve to be on 0)
Bertie Bassett - 2-1

Table updated in the first post. Any suggestions for further rules are welcome.

EdinburghLivi, the pessimism is one of the perks of being a Livi fan!

Any bonus points for just getting goal scorers correct?

Haha undoubtedly true! Admittedly I wouldn't have put 3-0 as out of the question yesterday.

I think a bonus for goalscorers would mean that the people who predict 0-0s are disadvantaged.

Albion Rovers 0-0 Livi (3-4 (again) on pens).

Predictions as follows:
EdinburghLivi - 1-3 (32 mins)
Lexi Collector - 1-3 (17 mins)
Bertie Bassett - 0-2 (23 mins)
LiviLion - 1-2 (40 mins)
Liviforever - 1-5 (10 mins)
LanarkshireLion - 0-4 (10 mins)
LiviCub - 1-2 AET (44 mins)
ianlivi - 1-3

So all of us a bit too optimistic clearly, in the end. LiviCub came closest in predicting extra-time. 1 point for everyone for the Livi win (eventually) and no bonus for first goal time as there weren't any in 120 minutes. Table updated.

But your heading for the updated table isn't  

Yeah, I made an arse of editing it the first time when I had changed it and forgot to change it the second time haha!

Bit annoyed with my prediction as I left it despite changing my view that we'd probably get beat.

Points for everyone except Bertie Bassett (another deserved negative result getting no points, #livipredictionleaguekarma). Two points to me for first goal bonus and three points to spiggle and Lexi, the latter holding a decent cushion at the top.

Apologies to Bertie for letting him know late that if you predict a draw score after 90 mins in the cup, you have to say who you think will win overall. Only 0-0 Livi win would have got 3 points from this. Will update the table in a second.

But surely I should get 1 for correctly predicting a draw at 90 mins?

Just noticed this.

Yes.

I am indeed top of the league, and you're no'.

Dunno how I'm 2nd, I thought I'd been pretty shite, obv no.

Bertie Bassett wrote:But surely I should get 1 for correctly predicting a draw at 90 mins?

The rules are currently that correct result overall will get a point and correct score after 90 mins gets 3 points.

Bit confusing so I'm willing to change based on opinion in this thread.

Dumbarton 1-0 Livingston (FG 89 mins)

LiviCub - 1-3 (27 mins)
Afro - 1-3 (14 mins)
LiviLion - 0-2 (30 mins)

Everyone predicted a Livi win so no points, on that front. As for first goal bonus congratulations to mozam for predicting the latest first goal in the 62nd minute. Will update the table now.

Gutted I didn't put a FG time as I was on for 4 points. Will update table shortly.

This doesn't appear to have been updated for a wee while??

Apologies for my poor updating, I've been a busy boy and I'm incredibly OCD about layout.

Points for everyone except Lexi & Bertie. Congrats to Lothiangamer for predicting the exact time of the first goal. Table to be updated shortly.

ianlivi - 3-1 (35 mins)

EdinburghLivi - 2-0 (51 mins)

So all our predictions were a pile of wank. To rub salt in the wounds, Bertie predicted a Livi win, we lost and he still picks up a point for First Goal bonus. Someone gets it spot on two weeks in a row, well in! Table to be updated shortly.

Afro - 3-0 (6 mins) - 2 points (FG bonus)

I said to my mate it would be 3-0 pre-match but that obviously doesn't count as an official prediction. Table updated.

Predictions as follows:

Decided to go for splitting the bonus point as a rule rather than two bonus points when it's tied. Table updated.
