Did you bet on that?

by **Campeones** on 06 Apr 2005, 17:53

Damn right! There's more than one bookie in Vegas out of business today...

by **Campeones** on 06 Apr 2005, 17:55

By the way, lol re: posting the Reuters story on the official CLPT site. And I like the graphic of the Spanish football too. Where's that from?

by **Campeones** on 06 Apr 2005, 17:57

Also, I think we now share the record for most 5-pointers with 4 predictions or less, since I got 2 yesterday and almost had another today (Inter, score a goal!)

When someone ties the record, the one who did it in the fewest number of matches gets it. So I still hold it.

Bah, technicalities...

by **Peyman A** on 07 Apr 2005, 05:57

Odds of 11-4 for me?!!! But I am well out of it now although I plan to submit my predictions and get maximum points next week for reasons of pride and prestige :P

by **bineaz** on 07 Apr 2005, 15:45

HAH The competition gets tougher. :roll:

Campi, I recently reinstalled XP and thus no longer have your e-mail address on my computer.

If you still have mine (it's on boye's site anyway if you don't), then can you let me know what your address is as I have to send you my predictions for my UEFA Cup match against Boye..

Thanks,

Mark

by **....** on 10 Apr 2005, 19:22

Actually it's alright, Campi. I have been sent the address so now I've sent my predictions to you.

Cheers Boye

by **Campeones** on 11 Apr 2005, 15:23

Mark's UPC predictions:

1) 1-1

2) 1-0

3) 2-1

4) 2-0

Boye's UPC predictions:

1 1-1
2 3-0
3 2-1
4 2-0

by **Campeones** on 11 Apr 2005, 15:24

So do you too copy off each other in school too, or what?

by **....** on 11 Apr 2005, 17:37

Wow, they are pretty similar aren't they? All depends on the match between Auxerre and CSKA now :| I feel Boye may have done better in predicting a bigger margin of victory for the French as they are 4-0 down.

Falc, I haven't received your CLPT predictions btw.

<b>Boye's CLPT predictions</b>

1) 1-0

by **Campeones** on 11 Apr 2005, 18:02

Great... yet another forfeit victory for the host. Will the conspiracies and match-fixing ever stop???

by **....** on 11 Apr 2005, 21:29

I did get Falc's e-mail. Didn't recognize the name at first, sorry Falc.

<b>Here are Falc's CLPT predictions:</b>

Juve 2-0 Liverpool
PSV 1-0 Lyon
Bayern 2-2 Chelsea
Inter 1-1 Milan

by **Boye B** on 12 Apr 2005, 02:51

Mark:

Heh, three identical predictions out of four. Great minds think alike, eh?

Yeah, it's all down to the Auxerre-CSKA match, and I think your post-prediction analysis may be correct.

CSKA are playing away from home and all they want to do is to avoid getting beat by more than three goals.

by **....** on 12 Apr 2005, 04:11

haha yeah we made similar predictions in one of the competitions last week too.

Campi, you have a very cynical mind! When Boye and I make the final of the CLPT... errr I mean those who make it to the final of the CLPT will have made it there on merit

by **Campeones** on 12 Apr 2005, 16:15

Wow, when I saw that you 2 made 3 of 4 identical predictions and made a comment about it, I literally said to myself out loud "I can guarantee you Boye is gonna say something to the tune of 'great minds think alike'". I'm good, huh? Not only am I an excellent champions league predictor, I'm an excellent Boye Brain predictor as well.

by **Campeones** on 12 Apr 2005, 16:19

Damn... I need Inter to score a goal pronto! Marko and I both had 1-1 for the Bayern-Chelsea match (hey, great minds think alike :wink:

) and he has 0-1 for the Milan derby and I've got 1-1....

FORZA INTER!!!

by **bineaz** on 12 Apr 2005, 16:21

Campi,

LOL @ Boye's brain.

Pray for luck because that's all Inter can hope for. Dida is going for a record shutout streak in the CL.

by **Campeones** on 12 Apr 2005, 16:24

They need to hit him with more than just one flare! And they need to surprise him just as Inter is taking a shot on goal...

Play stopped... I don't know what the rules of CLPT dictate but you can be sure whatever they are I am protesting.

by **bineaz** on 12 Apr 2005, 16:30

Objects thrown on the field; just before that Inter had a goal annulled on a corner kick (foul).

Oh and as the highest ranking player to enter the second round, I am judge, jury and enforcer of the CLPT. :roll:

by **Campeones** on 12 Apr 2005, 16:35

You, an enforcer? Hah!! And Tweety the bird is my bodyguard...

Man, you italiani are quite the hooligani... play still stopped? Has the game been postponed officially to another day or are they waiting for the hooligani to settle down?

by **bineaz** on 12 Apr 2005, 16:58

From the UEFA site:

The match is abandoned with Milan leading 1-0. The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body will decide if the result stands after investigating tonight's incidents.

To clarify, I'm the enforcer but Eugene does all the field work. Still willing to be so flippant?

:P

by **Campeones** on 12 Apr 2005, 17:23

We all know Gene is one big teddy bear. Besides, you should be familiar with Il Padrino... remember what happened to bad boy Luca Brasi- he swims with the fishies!

by **Boye B** on 12 Apr 2005, 18:59

Campi:

I was just giving Mark a compliment.

by **Boye B** on 12 Apr 2005, 19:03

The match is abandoned with Milan leading 1-0. The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body will decide if the result stands after investigating tonight's incidents.

UEFA will probably let the result stand, or alternatively award the match 3-0 or something to Milan.

For the CLPT, I think it would be most fair if we just stick with 1-0 which was the score on the pitch when the match was abandoned.

by **....** on 12 Apr 2005, 19:19

Absolutely. Just leave the result at 1-0. It's obviously not going to be replayed, or continued.

by **Boye B** on 12 Apr 2005, 20:52

Yeah, I figured you'd like to keep the score as it is. :wink:

by **Boye B** on 12 Apr 2005, 20:56

BTW, I'll be going away on Thursday for the Liberal party's national convention, so I won't be able to update the website with UPC scores until Monday. If the convention decides to recommend Norwegian EU membership, don't expect an update until Tuesday.

by **Eusebio** on 13 Apr 2005, 04:43

Norway in EU? Bah! Stay away, just send us oil or/and money.

by **bineaz** on 13 Apr 2005, 10:12

I'm not so sure. If the official result is made to be 3-0 then that's what it should be. We need a new regulation on this matter. :wink:

I suppose it doesn't matter if it doesn't change any results between players.

by **....** on 13 Apr 2005, 11:30

Looks like the decision has already been made, Bineaz. On the CLPT site, the game has been awarded 1-0 to Milan and the scores have been accordingly updated after last night's games.

Right thing to do IMO.

by **Zeus** on 13 Apr 2005, 11:40

Should be 3-0 if UEFA says so. Wasn't that the way it was handled with Roma?

by **bineaz** on 13 Apr 2005, 11:52

Hmm -- zeke -- you started law school yet?

BTW: Tough break for Inter. Milan is strong.

by **Campeones** on 13 Apr 2005, 12:46

Conspiracy rears its ugly head.....

Generalissimo Boye, it seems like the people (except for your henchman) have spoken and the outcry favors going with the official UEFA result- if that's 3-0, so be it! If Marko was that good, he would predicted the flare to Dida's shoulder and the 3-0 prediction would have been obvious. But he's not. So screw him!! However the CLPT handled the Roma game it should handle this one, no double standards! I believe in both cases the teams were winning 0-1... The masses are becoming restless, Generalissimo, are you willing to risk having your regime toppled over this???

Liberal party... BAH! :roll:

Liberal à la Castro, Mao, Stalin!

by **....** on 13 Apr 2005, 12:59

The decision has already been made this time! Yes, you're right about the Roma - Kyiv game, but this is a fresh start and a new rule.

It would test my faith in the democratic and fair nature of the CLPT if I suddenly lost 2 points having already been officially awarded 5. That would be blatant theft!

And anyway, apart from you, Boye and myself, nobody who is still in the CLPT has spoken about this. Boye and I outnumber you 2 to 1 :P

by **bineaz** on 13 Apr 2005, 14:19

I have power of attorney for Falc.

Seriously, would it impact the result? i.e., does Campi then win. Let's hold off until Juve beats Liverpool today and whatever happens in France.
