Here are the updated standings after:

Boston United 0-1 Altrincham (1026)

Lost a few predictions after Patter went down following last week's hack, but not many missed out on getting a prediction in. Not many points scored anyway! Only The Third Twin got the correct score and nobody else even predicted an Altrincham win.

Is this fair on the people who were denied the chance to predict through no fault of their own?

[Devon Pilgrim]

Guess I'm surprised at the "Refs" decision Stevie, even though it has boosted my league position !!

I'm trying to think of a way of dealing with this. How about for the next set of home game predictions (like the Altrincham game) that any of the people that didn't get to make a prediction for the Altrincham game get double points for their prediction? So double points for those people for the game against Salford next Saturday.

rather than going for double points, why not give those who were unable to guess, a chance to guess at a second match, so rather than double points, they get two gos for the price of one. For example, why not let them have a go at the Gainsborough game as well as the Boston game?

I thought it was my iPad not working so could not predict. I therefore asked my brother Devon Pilgrim to edit his to include what I would have predicted - he couldn't get on to do it. I would have got 3 points for being within 5% . Why not make that game nul and void for everyone. I'm sure that there will be a lot of people who would not agree but I've said it now🤔
