I missed it too...stupid of me but I agree with Steven that a deadline is a deadline.
But if leniency is being allowed, I might as well take advantage of that and take a senior citizen upgrade for Jonathan Bain, 350k

Easy! Look at my league position. Then do the opposite of what I'm doing...


Twenty-one managers entered the fifth round of the Prediction League and achieved an astonishingly high average score of 7.14. The only result that was really against expectations was St Mirren's win at Dumbarton, but even this was predicted by five entrants.
After what may be a record easy round, seven managers shared the 100k prize with eight points, so it's 15k each for Arbroath, East Stirlingshire, Forfar, Hamilton, Motherwell, Stenhousemuir and Stranraer.
As we hit the halfway mark, Stirling's lead is cut to one point. We take a break now and the competition will resume on 12th September. I'll post here when the entry for is up on the Notebook.
