  1. Thanks Ladybug. sb1876 had me confused early this morning as he is already in. So still one place left.
  2. I will send out PMs with payment details tomorrow. Let me have your opinion on rule change. Will publish rules and formally kick off over the weekend. First game will be Thistle v Dundee, Saturday 16 January. Third Last Man Standing is go!
  3. Thanks oneteaminglasgow. Ok, as jagfox and The Sunnylaw Jag have done in previous comps, I will underwrite the balance. So that, ladies and gentlemen, is the 17th top secured. Say it slowly, seventeenth. Remarkable achievement, well done all. £2250 raised for Archie. Still happy for more players to take the last places, 2 more players.
  4. Filling up nicely. If we can all squeeze up a bit there should be space for 3 more.
  5. Additionally, MKJ, as a member of WAT69 you get free entry into two exclusive forthcoming competitions. Each with a sponsored top as the prize. Not bad for an outlay of only £3.
  6. Welcome Milton Keynes Jag. The 69th WAT player sponsor this season. I will PM payment details in due course. When the competition starts, you predict the outcome of Jags games. If you're right you stay in. When everybody else has exited the competition you have won the seventeenth top. All will become clear when we have another 4 players.
  7. Three pounds for a chance to win top number seventeen. Only five places left. Sign up now. Hoping to get this wrapped up this weekend and get cash in ready to start.
  8. According to Archie, we're hoping to sign a guy called Christie Elliott by the end of January.
  9. Scottish FA state kick off as 19.30.
  10. So far we have had one positive and one negative response to the potential rule change. Let's have some more opinions. Now, the future of LJS. First we have to get another six players to get 3LJS started. Could start anytime now while 2LJS is playing out its endgame. Assuming we make it and 3LJS happens, the competition after that will be Last Jag Standing Still. This is a competition for all of the WAT68. Once these competitions are finished we will see how many games are left in the season. At the moment there are 19 games to be played. With a cup run to the final and (God forbid) play-offs, the maximum number of games is 25. So we could then play 4LJS etc. as time allows. We could, as at present, raise funds for a prize top or just play for fun. The best way to get more comps in is to start them promptly. So let's get 6 more names pronto so we can start 3LJS on 16 Jan v Dundee.
  11. I imagine that most of the bonuses will be used in the first round. The second round will appear very much like the first with the exception that some players will survive with bonus intact. After that, who knows. Players will begin to drop out but at a slower rate. With three variables, logic says that two-thirds will drop out in each round. We have had two competitions. The first took 7 rounds to get down to the last two. The second, only 3. In the end, it's just a bit of fun to while away the dark winter. I think it's worth a go. Anybody firmly against it? Think the competition name is fine as Third Last Jag Standing. What I was looking for, and I should have made this clearer, is a good jaggy name for the Joker or Get Out Of Jail Free bonus itself. In the rules that I am compiling, I refer to it as 'asterisk' because that is the physical manifestation but we can do better than that.
  12. Somebody think up a better name. Quick!
  13. Are there any pics of the Dundee United 'goal' that Mottram didn't see at Firhill in the 90s (95?)?
  14. Couldn't be easier by train so do your local planet a favour and leave the car at home.
  15. That's terrific news. Thanks for info.
  16. We could introduce a 'made an ar5e of it but get another shot' rule*. First time your prediction is incorrect, you stay in. Will make the game longer and keep interest going. Could be interesting in the later stages too. It's up to you, it's your competition. Let me know what you think. *might need a better name though (a Dastardly? ).
  17. Eighteen now signed up since yesterday (when all my troubles seemed so far away).

  18. For those of us with a Senior Railcard, return trip to Inverness is £6.60. Might have to share the journey with l-i-b and the rest of the kids though.
  19. Don't start us off with record puns again. Hope he's in A1 condition and that we can A4d him.
