FF20 - Week Twelve
GreyDesk Started conversation Mar 23, 2008
We're going to do something a little different this week...
I'm not going to pick a list for Saturday. You're doing it instead! 
It works like this: you pick out your five favourite games from the Saturday fixture list, and you post the team names with your predictions for the results and first scorers as per normal.
You can pick any games you wish provided that they are:
1) scheduled to be played on Saturday, 29th March
2) listed in the BBC's default fixture list (UK version) -- http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fixtures/default.stm
Additional rules:
1) you must post your predictions before your first game kicks off, obviously.
2) If any game is postponed. Well ain't that tough luck for you.
So let's see who really is the best at this game when the shackles of your usual fixture setter have been removed. Enjoy

Sounds good to me. I was going to pick the Derby match for easy points until I realised they were home to Fulham...
West Brom 2-0 Colchester (Phillips)
Rushden & Diamonds 3-1 Droylsden (Challinor)
St Mirren 2-1 Gretna (Murray)
East Stirling 1-3 Albion (Patrick Walker)
Forfar 5-4 East Fife (Blackadder)

Aye right just cause you remember East Fife have already won Division 2 and Forfar are the worst league team outside of East Stirlingshire.

Dundee 3 Clyde 0 Mickael Antoine-Curier
I hate to do it but:
