    I have received a few technical queries recently, but due to being
an employed person, my time for frittering the hours away on e-mail
is sandwiched between work and pub. I don't have much of it, I'm afraid.
I hope the following list of statements will keep all my fans out there
happy :-). For the time being, hugs and kisses to them all, even the
Hun ones, who I hate ;-).


1. You don't have to ask to join this league of gentlemen and a few
   ladies. Just send your predictions to myself or to eduni.football
   (even if you can't subscribe to eduni.football, there 's a fair 
    chance you preds will get through)

2. The scoring system is 1 point for a correct result (ie a home, away
   or draw) and a bonus of 1 point for a correct score. A maximum of 16
   is possible, normally each week.

3. I'll even let Partick thistle fans in ,but they will have to start
   off with a score of -500 ( I know, I'm mellowing).

4. I went to 13 Celtic games last season and saw Rangers a good deal
   more often than I'd care to. Normally I'll see Celtic about 25 times
   a year. If Wacko Jacko judges football knowledge on how often you go,
   then it says a great deal about how he thinks. 

5. I think that in qualifying for the league section of the European
   Cup and incurring severe thrashings from 3 superior football sides,
   Rangers have needlessly cluttered up their fixture list and have
    virtually gifted the title to Celtic, who are a more skillful
   anyway.

6. All Celtic fans are Paranoid !


      (actually, only one of 3, 4, 5 and 6 is serious - yes I've 
really got it in for Partick Thistle !)
