OK, you've had a good look at the post split fixtures, figured that Celtic will be playing kids, Aberdeen will think they're home and hosed, United and Saints will have several eyes on the Final and the Well will be, well...who knows what they are thinking.

 

So how many points out of the 15 available will ICT end up with?

 

As a wee incentive I'll try to dig up the signed copy I have of Steve Paterson's jaw-dropping autobiography as a prize*. 

 

Just post on this thread the number of points you think we'll gain over 5 matches and may the best post-split predictor win. Post before the Aberdeen game kicks off please. 

 

 

 

 

 

* I do have this book so this is a genuine prize if the winner doesn't already own a signed copy. In the event of a tie the person who hasn't read it will get it...or a name will be pulled from a hat...or something, crivvens man, it's just a bit of fun...!

Depends on my mood and how drunk I am!!!

 

Pesimistac = 0

Realistic = 7

Optimistic = 9

Dream = 13

LA LA land = 15

Aberdeen - 1

Celtic - 0

Dundee United - 3

Motherwell - 0

St. Johnstone - 3

 

7 points.

OK, just let me know how drunk you'll be at 19.45 on Friday and I'll take that number...

Still a small sample size with 19 votes in but at present the average points forecast is 8.

Most picked is 7 and the mid-range is also 7.

Can't beat a bit of Tuesday afternoon mean, median and mode calculations!

 

As an experiment, it'll be interesting to see if the 'wisdom of crowds' theory holds 'true' for this.

The premise being that if a large enough sample predict an outcome, whether it be weight, number, distance etc then by taking the average 'guess', you'd get very close to the actual value.

Let's hope the rest of the guesses are 15 points from 15 then, and that this theory is correct!

I'll go for 0 points and stay 5th...

Nobodies said it so I'll say 2.

6 points

Three home wins and one away draw, one away defeat. 10 pts

This is the worst advertising on this site since Charlie Bannerman.

13 Points

Hello, just to say I used to be on here as HeScoresWhenHeWants but unfortunately lost my password and couldn't get it back so this is my new account:)

I think -

Aberdeen - win

Celtic - loss

Dundee Utd - draw

Motherwell - loss

St Johnstone - win

= 7 points

Really doubt well do anything amazing.

5 points

Tomato Terrace - why ?!!

Calum what you like.

Five draws. Five points.

8 points but 16 would be great.

So here are the runners and riders, so far, for arguably CTO's 3rd most prestigious competition... Still a few hours to add your estimation of the post-split points haul...all entries accepted up to kick-off this evening...

All bases presently covered except the 'joker' 14. What's the odds on ICT winning all 5, then being docked a point by The Donkey for just being too northern?

Get ready for 5 weeks of sweaty palmed thrills and heartbreak.
