The 2011 championship is over and so too is our prediction mini-league, hosted once again this year by those kind folks at facetheball.com. The excitement levels about the dénouement of this competition may not have reached the heights attained at Croke Park last Sunday but like the battle for Sam Maguire (which turned up at Vinnie’s last night, by the […]

Time for the last-but-one update on this year’s championship mini-league where the spoils are still up for grabs between the top two who, between them, have dominated the leaderboard for most of the summer. Neither of them gained any ground on the other last weekend, with both tipping the Dubs to win by the same margin, and so the title […]

There may only have been one match on last weekend but opinions were obviously sharply divided in advance as to how it would go and this is reflected in the significant shake-up that has taken place in the mini-league, with only one contestant in the top twenty staying where they were before Saturday evening’s throw-in.

Here we go, then. As you can see from the table across, there’s been a big shift in the standings, […]

Right, we’re well into the championship now so it’s time to provide an update on how things are progressing with dish ear’s mini-league, hosted as ever by those kind people at FaceTheBall.com.  As was the case with the NFL variant in the spring, there’s nothing ‘mini’ about the total number of hopefuls involved – 44 went to post for the […]

What with all the off-field activity (of all shades and sorts) this week, it’d be easy to forget about the championship action that’ll be taking place at the weekend.  But the Queen will shortly be on her way back to Blighty on the BAe 146 and so normal life will resume … until Barack shows up on Monday and sends […]
