Match report from the Wee County.

Thanks Kingsmills..hopefully we can topple Mr Fraser this year and, hopefully too, I've ironed out all the gremlins. Soon find out eh! It would be nice to see more folk having a crack at the SPFL Prediction league too

Never thought of that. Cheers Renegade. I could become a millionaire with all this potential income

Me neither. Proper club crest should be shown on the players shirts without the caption. Keep that for the t-shirts / leisure wear.

Welcome to the 2016/17 season on the NPL. Good luck to all and lets see if we can real that Andrew Fraser geezer in a bit this season. Don't forget the return of the Crowd section.

Nice to see the stripes back. Will have to view 'in the flesh' but that collar looks a bit naff. Apart from that, looks ok to me. Not liking the green on white of the away strip though . I'll work out my advertising charges for MFL before entering into a contract of purchase.

That's no good to me damn it

Our sincere condolences to all his family and friends, our thoughts are with you all at this sad time.

Anyone bar Sevco.

Keep your eye on ScotRail too if your going to use the trians. The RMT are starting to kick off again with industrial action. I'd hope its all sorted by then but you never know ;-)

NAPS Competition – General - Rules GENERAL The NAPS Competition is open to all and there is no need to register. The NAPS Competition is free to enter. The NAPS Competition uses the Fixtures from the Scottish Championship , League 1 and League 2 of the SPFL only. The NAPS Competition is prize free and offers only bragging rights to the winner (A Prize is sometimes offered and this will be advertised when known) The NAPS Competition can sometimes be played in Mid-Week and competitors are asked to check the NAPS Competition thread to avoid losing points. RULES Everybody starts the 2019/20 season with 200 points. Everybody must select ONE team /match and place a 10 point wager on choosing from the selected fixtures/odds on the respective Week thread. All bets are settled as they would be in the bookies (ie. lose -10 points; Win + whatever your profit would be) All bets must be posted before your selected match kicks-off. Failure to pick a team will result in a loss of 10 points. You may pick your side before the odds are posted if you know in advance you won’t be able to get on the website. (Don’t worry – the Odds will be added to your post later) Postponed selections will result in a return of your 10 point stake, however you are allowed to change your selection as long as you do so before the game kicks off. In the event of there being less than 6 games going ahead in a single round of games, all bets will be void and the game will be cancelled for that week. Postponed matches very often result in Mid-Week fixtures later on in the Season. The NAPS Competition can sometimes be run when there are enough matches – you will need to look out for these. Anyone joining the NAPS Competition after Game 1 will be deducted 10 points for each week missed. DISPUTED RESULTS – ERRORS Every effort is made to keep errors to a minimum but mistakes do happen (too often). PLEASE highlight any errors / quires on the NAPS Tables thread or drop me a PM and I will resolve the issue.

JOKER Entitlement – 2016/17 3 Jokers Andrew Fraser 2 Jokers caleycalum CaleyCanary caleydawson crownjaggie Gavroche Gringo MrCaleyjag Scotty Tug 1 Joker Everyone else!

Rules and Instructions for playing the Nutters Prediction League (NPL) for the 2021/22Season. CHANGES to CROWD section for 2021/22 How to Play - General Information To take part in the NPL all you have to do is simply predict the following for all First Team Inverness Caledonian Thistle matches. Competitions covered in the NPL are: The Championship; League Cup; SPFL Trust Trophy* and SFA Cup. *SPFL Trust Trophy games will be HT and FT ONLY The Half Time (HT) score. The Full Time (FT) score. The scorer of the First goal for ICT. The scorer of the first goal for the opposition and The Crowd / Attendance figure. This section is being reinstated as of Game 08 for League games only. There is no need to register for this game. Just enter your prediction on the Gringo’s NPL Board on the forum before the match kicks off. Each game will be posted on the board approx’ two weeks before the fixture (if I remember!). If you are going away on your holidays etc and the games you wish place a prediction on have not been posted, then please PM me your selections and will do my best to post them for you. Post your prediction in the following format:- HT: FT: 1st Scorer ICT: 1st Scorer Opp: Crowd: (Just copy and paste the above format onto the board and add your predictions) For Example:- Gringo HT: 0-0 FT: 2-1 1st Scorer ICT: Anybody 1st Scorer Opp: Bonehead Crowd: 3345 Important To avoid losing points, please use the same 'username' throughout the contest. The Rules / Scoring system All predictions should be posted before kick off, it is up to you to check k.o. times and post accordingly No excuses! ALL entries posted after k.o. (even 1 sec over) will NOT be accepted. Very often the match thread will be automatically locked at the scheduled kick off time regardless of whether the match has physically kicked off or not so please post early to avoid disappointment. Each game will be advertised on the Gringo's NPL board approx' two weeks or so before the game. These games will remain on the board throughout the season and, where possible, will be locked after kick off or some other time convenient to me. H-T and F-T Correct Scores You will be awarded 1 pt for each correct score (1-0) and result (h, a or d) + a bonus of 2pts for an all correct prediction. I.E If you predict a 1-0 score and the actual score is 2-0 you will be awarded 1 pt for the 'home' result and 1pt for the '0' score. If the score was 1-0 you would get 1pt for the '1', 1pt for the '0' and 1pt for the 'home' result plus a bonus of 2pts for an all correct answer giving you a max 5pts. (Sounds complicated but it will become as clear as mud as the game progresses). So, basically, a correct score is worth 5 points. Please note that, unless you state otherwise in your prediction, the first score you give will always be regarded as the 'home' team. First Scorer ICT/ Opposition /Use of Surnames You will be awarded 2pts for a correct answer. OG's do count but only if you state this at the time and for the correct team. Please be aware of teams who have the same players surname in their line ups (including those on the bench) so please state clearly which player you have selected by using their first name(s). Failure to clarify this WILL result in a loss of points if that player scores. Crowd Section reinstated from Game 08 You will be awarded 10 pts if you are bang on and 5pts if you are no more than 100 out – over or under. The crowd figure will be determined by those displayed on the BBC Football Web Site. If for some reason this site does not publish the crowd figure an alternative recognised web site will be used. This would probably be the SPFL Official web site. If there are no correct predictions (10 pointers) for the crowd then the nearest entrant to the actual figure will be awarded TWO bonus points. If there is a tie for this honour all involved will receive the two points. The JOKER For 2021/22 please refer to the separate thread regarding your JOKER entitlement. Using a Joker will DOUBLE your points tally for that game. Only one joker per game can be used. Use them wisely on games you are very confident on getting loads of points. The Joker CAN be used on any Bonus Point games but any Bonus Points won will NOT be doubled. To use your Joker simply add **JOKER** at the end of your prediction. The winner of the 2021/22 NPL will be able to use three jokers the following season. Those finishing in the next nine positions will qualify for two Jokers and all others will only get one. Cup Matches Cup matches will be based on 90 mins only (which includes time added on for stoppages). Extra time does not count. There will be no extra points awarded for extra-time scores / pens etc. Any games played on a neutral ground the home team will be notified on the appropriate game thread. Bonus points From time to time I will select a match where bonus points will be available. All bonus point matches and details of how to win these points will be advertised on the specific thread. Please look out for them as they could appear at any time. Abandoned / Postponed Matches Abandoned and Postponed matches will be VOID and all entries will be cancelled. They will NOT be carried over for the re-arranged fixture unless otherwise stated. Notes on 1st scorer A point was raised about naming a first scorer after predicting a '0' scoreline. It was suggested that the entrant should put 'None' or No Scorer in the first scorer section and be awarded the 2pts. As far as I am concerned if there isn’t a goal there cannot be a 'first scorer'. I have no problem with entrants naming a 'first scorer' and predicting a '0' scoreline. It will be accepted. (Affectionately known as Gringo’s Law) Posting for other players / Multiple Postings You can post a prediction on behalf of another entrant (with their permission!) but please specify clearly who the prediction is for. Posting a series of predictions is also permitted but please make sure all the entrants names are on the respective entries. Notes on Correcting your Prediction Corrections to your prediction(s) can me made prior to kick-off by either using the edit facility on the original post or, alternatively, just re-post the whole prediction. In all cases the later prediction is used when the NPL spreadsheet is compiled. Scores and Updates Results and Tables from completed Games will be posted as soon as possible after each game. As I am the only person running the NPL, delays to updates can be expected due to holidays and going to watch ICT etc. As a general rule I will attempt to get the update on the NPL Board no later than two hours after the match. An expected update time will be advised on the respective Game Thread. Championship Tie In the event of a tie for first place, positions will be decided by the amount of correct scores (HT/FT 5 pointers) you have got, if there is still a tie after that the amount of correct scorers will be used. If it is still tied after that then I will use the average points system. This system will also be used to determine the 'Euro' positions for the benefit of the Joker quota for the following season. Prize Unfortunately I have had to withdraw the prize of a small-engraved trophy. The trophy was always purchased locally but the company has since closed. Alternatives are too expensive for my meagre pension. Bragging rights will be yours though for an entire season and your name etched into the Role of Honour for the NPL. The top ten positions will be regarded as qualifying for Europe and will be inscribed on the NPL Honours list.

Two shares sent via PayPal to your email Mr Scotty, cheers.

Not exactly a money spinning competition yet they expect cash strapped clubs (and fans) to fork out on some potentially expensive away days. The mind boggles.

Indeed it is, how did I miss that fact? As you say, this makes it a awesome performance. Well done Andrew

Thanks guys, it means a lot. Hopefully I can find someone in the close season who can help me iron out the gremlins in the Spreadsheet and make my life easier next season.

NPL Review for Game 47 - Final After falling asleep during the first half I awoke to find a game going on . Great result for the last day of the season. Just a shame the ‘form’ hit too late. No maximums in any section for this game. Caley Mad in Berks and RedCard take credit for getting the correct FT score. So, after 47 NPL games I am pleased to announce that the winner of this seasons competition is...[fanfare fanfare...drum roll drum roll]... Andrew Fraser. He retains the title by a clear margin of 27 points.
