Midlands Premier Prediction League 19/20 - Round 7

A salutary lesson for all. No doubt it will be ignored by many and the mercenaries will continue to be paid.
Good for nobody and must feel for SL although when they had the money and players they were never the most magmanimous!
Too many big words going for a lie down.

A try every (approximately) 2.29 minutes.

Did they consider ending the match early?

I've seen it done at level 7 (with the agreement of both captains and the referee of course)

Well back to the unpredictable prediction league, it appears at present the the only reliable team currently are Bournville, (I'll resist the current analogy being used they are Bournville plain and simple despite whatever anybody thinks.) Sandbach return to their enigmatic selves after a gigantic performance last week against the Salapions then lose away at the the similarly inexplicable Nuns. Broadstreet similarly unpredictable (well it appears certainly by me ) Sheffield win away again at Newport, Pavs continue with their good form while South Leicester to their credit continue to turn a team out every week. The draw obviously kyboshing any chance of a full house but this weeks'  performer is Richmids with 5 of 7 there were 7 only getting 3 predictions. The league looks like this.

How in heavens name could a ref be accurately assessed in those circumstances?

By sticking to the laws and regulations, he would have got a good assessment - equally how could a referee be assessed in a game where nothing controversial happens and all players play within the laws?
