gmca Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 7 hours ago, Highland ITFC said: I thought some time ago that it would be quite interesting to have a composite of all the individual predictions that folk have made on this thread. Coming across the thread again the other day, & with the league starting to take some early season shape, with just over a quarter of games played, thought why not crack on & do it. So ..... based strictly on all the 1-10 predictions submitted - haven't taken into account those that were incomplete & just predicted top & bottom, or top, bottom & playoffs - & using a simple scoring of 1st = 10 points, 2nd = 9, & so on down to 10th = 1 point, here's how the composite prediction table stacks up: 1: Stenhousemuir 297 points 2: Forfar 295 3: Dumbarton 221 4: Annan 206 5: Stirling 202 6: Bonnyrigg 188 7: Stranraer 137 8: East Fife 115 9: Elgin 108 10: Albion 56 So there you go for what it's worth. Thoughts! Other than Forfar, Annan and Elgin, that's not a million miles away from where we are atm. A wee bit surprising. I think most folk felt there weren't any stand out teams before the season started, and there wouldn't be much between the teams. No idea whether it'll end up that way by the end of the season though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they are released as favourites the bookies arent reacting to money placed. As far as I can see there is no great change in prices since opening which would be a reaction to the money placed with the bookies. On 09/07/2022 at 20:56, db11 said: My knickers are not in a twist. I was just highlighting your misinformed statement. The bookies are far better informed than you. I look forward to finishing the season above your lot, didn’t go too well for you last time we met and that was about 5 leagues apart Another wee bump to remind everyone of how well informed the bookies and db11 are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strongbow392001 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Rovers fans dont worry, the Rose will be bottom they are without doubt utter gash 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Take a brave man to back against Bonnyrigg finishing bottom but if I was to pick a team who could it would be East Fife. They are absolutely dreadful with what looks like a manager out of his depth. They certainly wouldn't be missed with yon' admission fees and generally poor away day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Blackwell Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 East Fife have consistently been the worst team I have seen. Bonnyrigg on their own patch I think might get enough points to stay up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon EF Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Great to see Bonnyrigg and Albion Rovers proving all the haters wrong. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BinoBalls Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I think the bookies were hyper-risk averse to whoever came into the league because of the way Cove and Kelty romped the league previously. They would be anticipating a lot of people blindly backing Bonnyrigg and so they managed their liabilities accordingly, without necessarily knowing the intricacies of Bonnyrigg’s squad or the tactical acumen of their coaching staff. They started the season like a train but look a million miles from that now. Brutal football, limited creativity, and poor discipline. It’s a shame as they have a cracking support and are a welcome addition. I’m just surprised Albion Rovers are somehow below them at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilly Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Some turnaround from the Fife. Enjoy the play offs lads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not expecting very much from the play offs but just glad to be part of things. I hold my hands up to thinking that we would be fighting down the other end of the league at start of the season and more recently in January. Fair play to all the players for getting into a play off position and particularly Alex Ferguson who has been immense in midfield and Allan Fleming who pulled off some points saving saves regularly. Could go on naming players but collectively they all deserve praise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Congratulations on winning the league but I’ve been unimpressed every time I’ve seen you! I think you won because of much greater consistency than anyone else, rather than being the best team. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on average they couldn’t maintain this quality. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
