BARCELONA are difficult to oppose at the best of times so I'm on them to win the first leg of their Champions League tie at PSG despite what happened in the San Siro in the last round.
I've put up a separate Euro post so won't go into the reasoning again but Barca kick off my treble.
It's another big night in the Scottish First Division with Partick Thistle having the chance to storm seven points clear of Morton with just six games left.
The Jags, who have won eight games in a row, are a best 17-20 at Paddy Power and should pick up the points to put them in a strong position. Raith can't be dismissed totally though and are boosted by the signing of Dunfermline winger Joe Cardle.
In England best bets could be Bolton at home to Huddersfield while Peterborough can surprise off-form Middlesbrough. Dougie Freedman's men have lost successive away games to Charlton and Ipswich but before that won four in a row, including three 1-0s at home.
I also like the look of Brighton who are 5-6 with William Hill and bet365 at home to Charlton.
Peterborough are back in the bottom three despite being unbeaten in six and travel to a Boro side who have lost five out of six and now look unlikely to make the play-offs. Last time out Peterborough beat leaders Cardiff at home and have netted 18 in their last nine away games.
They are a biggest 11-4 with the likes of Ladbrokes and bet365 and at that price you could consider draw no bet or double chance.
My Super Single was a toss-up between Peterborough and I'm on Dumbarton but I'm siding with the Sons who travel to Hamilton for the second time in four days. It was 3-2 to Ian Murray's men at the weekend and they are 3-1 at William Hill to repeat the feat and make it four wins in a row.
All four meetings this season and have seen both score with a total of 19 goals and two sides to net again pays 4-7 at bet365 and Stan James.
Start the both teams to score treble with Hamilton v Dumbarton and add PSG v Barcelona. Although I'm on Barca to win they have conceded in 17 of their last 19 games in all competitions.
For the third pick go with Raith v Partick. After beating Morton at the weekend I don't think Rovers will make it easy for the leaders but Thistle are on a roll and can make it nine wins on the spin in a match where both are on target.
Elsewhere in the SFL there should be goals at Albion Rovers v Forfar (17 in three meetings this season) and Queen's Park v Stirling (11 in three meetings).
Brechin should bounce back from two defeats to champions Queen of the South by beating East Fife at home and Stirling, with one defeat in eight, are capable of shocking Queen's at Hampden and are 3-1 at William Hill and Coral to do so.

Not looked at the card today so about to do that. At the moment thinking I will leave the Champions League matches for in-play.
Going to have an early single on Albirex Niigata. They have a good competitive record against Tanjong Pagar and are strong at home. Small stakes though.
HOME and AWAY DOUBLE
——————–
Bayern Munich (HOME) @ 1.65
Peterborough United (AWAY) @ 3.7
off to Germany for our first selection of the day – and Bayern Munich welcome Juventus to the Allianz Arena, desperate to make the most of their home advantage in this Champions League Quarter Final first leg.
Jupp Heynckes’ side are in rampant form ahead of this clash, with a 9-2 thrashing of Hamburg on Saturday showing just how lethal they are in the final third.
That makes just one loss in 14 home outings for the hosts – which suggests that their 2-0 defeat to Arsenal in the second leg of the last round was something of an anomaly.
The Bavarians have an otherwise stellar home record in this competition, and have lost only once in 12 encounters – which will have them high in confidence as they welcome the Bianconeri to Germany.
Antonio Conte’s side go into this one having won just two of their last four on the road – and will be keen to avoid a defeat which would pile the pressure on them ahead of their second leg tie in Rome.
And just three wins from their last nine on the road in this competition suggests that the visitors rely heavily on their home form to see them through, and I’m sure that Conte would snatch a draw without haste.
One clean sheet from their last four away from home indicates that Conte’s side have been known to struggle when faced with quality in the final third, and I reckon that Bayern will be keen to nudge themselves ahead in this tie whilst they have the opportunity on home soil.
Bet 1: Bayern Munich (HOME) @ 1.65
Switching our attentions to slightly less glamourous climes now – and taking in action at the Riverside Stadium, as Middlesbrough entertain Peterborough United, looking to stop the rot which has seen them lose their last four outings.
Tony Mowbray’s side have spectacularly fallen out of the play-off picture after accumulating some poor results of late, and a 3-2 defeat to struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers was the latest in a line of underwhelming performances from the North East side.
The hosts have lost three of their last five in front of their own fans, and that now sees them six points outside the top six – and with any hope of securing promotion back to the top tier seemingly drifting away.
Visitors Peterborough on the other hand go into this clash buoyed by some impressive results of late – and will be keen to secure their third win on the bounce following victories over Blackpool and Cardiff in their last two outings.
Darren Ferguson’s side have lost just one of their last five away from London Road, and 10 goals scored in that time suggests that they have the quality in the final third to stun their opponents here.
The Posh sit second bottom of the table, just two points from safety, and a win here could propel them out of the drop zone – which could be a prospect too good to miss for the visitors.
Bet 2: Peterborough United (AWAY) @ 3.7
—————————————————–
LAY FOR THE SCOTS
——————
Hamilton have slipped to eighth in the table after picking up just two wins from their last 10 matches. By a quirk of the fixtures, they played Dumbarton at home on Saturday and lost 3-2. Gary Fisher was sent off for The Accies in the first half which didn’t help, but they were already 1-0 down.
That loss was their second in a row at New Douglas Park and while they have a three point gap and two games in hand over Cowdenbeath behind them, they aren’t quite safe yet. Billy Reid will be looking for a vital victory tonight as they would move up to seventh, but I’m not too confident about their chances and certainly not at odds-on.
Dumbarton were promoted to this division via the play-offs and after a shocking start to their campaign – five points from a possible 39 – Ian Murray was appointed as player/manager. Results improved straightaway and they are now seventh in the league with 33 points.
The Sons have won their last three on the trot, scoring 11 goals in the process. They produced a magnificent comeback at Dunfermline and at home to Raith, before despatching Hamilton last time. They’ve lost just three of their previous 11 on the road, winning seven of them and firing in goals for fun.
I simply can’t have Hamilton at around the 1.95 mark given Dumbarton’s away form, and that’s why I have to make them my lay of the day.
Recommended Bet
Lay Hamilton v Dumbarton @ 1.95

BET OF THE DAY
—————-
Slovakia. Both teams have scored in 5/6 Spartak Myjava home games and 6/6 Zlate Moravce away matches.
Recommended Bet: Back Both Teams to Score @ 1.85 in Spartak Myjava v Zlate Moravce
Milesey ( betfair )
Paris Saint- Germain v Barcelona, Tuesday 19:45, ITV
Paris St-Germain are unbeaten at home in their last 23 games in European competition, qualifiers included (15 wins, 8 draws). Their last defeat dates back to 23 November 2006 in the group phase of the UEFA Cup, against Hapoel Tel-Aviv (2-4)
Barcelona can ill afford a repeat of the first-leg lethargy which could so easily have cost them the tie against AC Milan as they travel to Paris. This PSG outfit are formidable at the Parc des Princes – unbeaten in their last 13, winning 11 – and, after triumphing 2-1 at Valencia to set up this clash, may not be as forgiving as the Rossoneri in the second leg. Barca have actually only won three of their last 14 knockout away ties in the competition.
Recommended Bet: Paris St-Germain to win @ 4.9
Ezequiel Lavezzi has scored five goals in his last four Champions League games. He’s Paris St-Germain’s top scorer in the competition this season
PSG’s Argentine ace has proved just what a top-class acquisition he has been for the Parisians during this Champions League campaign. Lavezzi bagged himself goals in both legs of their round-of-16 clash with Valencia, helping the French team make the quarter-finals, and was also the match-winner at home to Porto in the group stage. The stats suggest that there’s no better PSG player to stake your money on than the ex-Napoli star to get on the scoresheet.
Recommended Bet: Back Ezequiel Lavezzi to score @ 5.0

Tonight’s bets:
Singles on Dumbarton and Peterborough
Btts double on barca and Hamilton games
Double on Partick and Brechin
fgs double on messi and mandzukic
Barca
Brighton
Brechin
Hull, Watford btts
Boro, Peterborough btts
Hamilton, Dumbarton btts
Livi, falkirk btts
Livingston at home to falkirk look good value for a win at around evens with falkirk missing top scorer Lyle Taylor through suspension and Blair Alston won’t be risked apparently.
Watched falkirk 3 times against my team this season and they will definitely struggle without taylor as would hamilton without Stevie May.
Kevin, I’d worry about Falkirk without Taylor as he’s been scoring most of their goals recently. But then Livi were poor at the weekend so might be a draw.
Peterborough
Bolton
Dumbarton
Partick
£316 for a tenner
I’m not sure whether I’m just seeing things but 1.75 (BetVictor) for Brechin, who has an impressive home record of 9 wins and three losses in their 12 league home homes, against an East Fife outfit that have a fairly dismal away record of just 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses. They are as short as 1.53 with some bookmakers.
I understand that East Fife have a very good record against Brechin, recording 4 wins out of the last 5 meetings at Glebe Park, and of course Brechin have lost their last two games, both to league leaders QoS, but surely this is a game you would fancy Brechin to bounce back.
Does anyone know if the game is actually on? I understand their was a pitch inspection at 13:30 – will have to look that up.
Brechins game wil be on
They have been playing the home games at Forfar recently which has an Astro turf pitch
If the play it in Brechin the pitch will still be very heavy
Milesey of on holidsy AGAIN?? tough life inflation busting bonuses every month, big fancy petrol guzzling 4×4 company cars, holidays coming out his ears, staying in swanky hotels/extras on offer from the landlady etc. Perks almost on a par with the Daily Record!!
Think about a yankee tonight combination from from Partick Th, Dumbarton, Petrborough, Bayern n FC Barcelona?…give it a bit of thought/not sure. Firstly a JUPITEX REX and ELUSIVE HAWK double to boost the pot
cliftonville-crusaders over 2.5 5/6 bet 365
hmm .. I am not sure on Peterborough beating Boro tonight … yes Boro are on a bit of a losing streak at the mo but surely that means a win is due … Last 5 meeting between these to comes out with Boro have won 3 and the other two were 1-1 draws … I wouldn’t be too sure on backing Peterbourough, they are near the bottom for a reason
AC was thinking that aboot P’boro masel….?? dont like thse “Watford” type everyone jumoin on tghe bandwagon…league table doest lie at this stage of season…but??…
AC, don’t think anyone’s saying Peterborough are a cert but I certainly don’t want to be on Middlesbrough at the moment. If they fall behind I’m sure the atmosphere will turn ugly so the first goal could be crucial.
Guido I have the same double my man … Jupiter Rex and Elusive Hawk … Lets hope it comes in for us
Is it a shoe in AC??..u know more than me aboot the nags. Need a few wins fur ma burfday!!. Think Milesey is on route to Clydebank/staying with Mr F for a week over Easter…something to do with checking out dogs??..dunno if its a Crufts event thing in Glasgow or something like that ;-)
haha Mr F can finally shake his poms poms for Milesey … Yeah I am quietly confident on this double and have just seen Milesey has tipped them up as well so looks like we are all thinking on the same page … plus i want some money for later, can’t decide on sticking it all on Bayern Munich or over 2.5 goals in the Watford v Hull game … Happy bday btw,
Thanks AC. Nippin oot on bike see I can help clear the crap oot ma lungs a bit/off work this week got bronchial pneumonia..clearin up a bit but some shit needs help to shift it ;-) Bayern are strong/fancy them…few tuff calls tonight tho? Maybe ask DANE if we should break in the neighbours hoose and nick their family silver flog it/steal some pensioners pension book n cash it in and lump on something?? ;-) ;-)
1-0 crusaders
‘Brechin defender Gerry McLauchlan sits out a second game through suspension as Ray McKinnon’s side return to Glebe Park to face East Fife.
After playing two fixtures at Forfar’s Station Park, McKinnon is looking for home comforts against the Fifers.
Ewan Moyes will be absent for a second game due to an ankle injury, with Craig Molloy (knee) and Jonathan Brown (ankle) missing as well.’
Well that isn’t good news, three defenders out. I read that they have bought in a couple of youngsters from St Johnstone and Dundee Utd, one of which is a defender and the other an attacking midfielder.
Can see the 2 german and 2 big spannish in the semi finals. For them to win first leg games 13to2. Got to be a good bet. For me the only hard game is dortmund at malaga! The rest should win!
I see that Slovakian game has been postponed Milesey.
super single: honefoss vs stromsgodset, draw 11/5 william hill.
Im doing something slightly different with my Super Single, Im just double checking my research is correct and I’ll put it up in due course. Champions League returns tonight and in Germany we get too see the joint best attack (with Real Madrid) Bayern take on the best defence in the competiton in Juventus, Im ruling out an away win so its a toss up between an Home win or Draw in my eyes. I think Juve will do well to keep Bayern at bay for 90 mins and Bayern are flying at the moment after putting 9 past Hamburg last time out.

4 fold:
Bolton
Brighton
Forfar
Brechin
As Paul mentioned, really fancy Stirling Albion 12/5 is a big price! They are 13/8 to score over 1.5 goals!
Dumbarton + Peterborough!
Doing as singles and the double.
Robben anytime also!
Good luck gents
Dumbarton are 13/8 with william hill?
You must be looking at draw no bet, Ben. They’re currently 11/4.
Ben H, is that on the coupon? They were 3-1 when I checked online yesterday and that was the price I quoted in the Daily Record today. Either been cut big style or 3-1 was wrong and hadn’t been updated before Easter holidays. I haven’t place my bets yet. Just going to shops for a bit and will do them when I get back.
I got 11/4 with hills too!
Is anyone up for 2 teams which don’t sound very plesent as a double for some evening profit before the main events. Go for some Molde-lust (Austria Lustenau that is).
Molde need to get their first 3 points of the season at home to Lillestrom. Lustenau are away to Linz but at opposte ends of the table they should get the job done.
Both 5.30pm BST kick offs
Carl D, been a lot of tips for Molde today but haven’t seen Lustenau quoted.
yes mr f on the coupon
SUPER SINGLE
Im doing something slightly different tonight. Betvictor are doing a whole range of weird and wonderful specials regarding Messi, and one in particular I like is Messi to score in the second half. Having gone back through this seasons results, Messi has scored 28 of his 52 goals IN the second half. I think it could be worth a punt tonight.
BET MESSI TO SCORE IN SECOND HALF 11/5 @ Betvictor
Good luck and fingers crossed it comes up
Lustenau are on a few coupond but if not most highstreet bookies can do it at the counter. They are 4/5 at hill and although both teams are not in good form Lust are 2nd in the table with a 6-2-3 away record, Linz a 1-4-7 home record.
Should beat them and got 3 brazilians in the side including the leagues to scorer Thiago.
The chief, fingers crossed for you! :)
Just wanted to point out that 28 out 52 is only just over half (54%) so there’s equally a chance of him scoring in the first half!
Highlighted that not be a pain in the ass bit In case you based the logic of your bet purely on that stat!
Really could do with some help deciding what to bet on tonight … I can’t decide! … Do i whack a fair bit of money on Bayern Munich or Do I stick it on over 2.5 goals in the Hull v Watford game?
Thoughts would be appreciated

Sorry, off topic but when did Betfair swallow up Blue Square? Just went to log in to my Blue Square account and now its been changed to BetFair. A free £10 bet out of it but to be honest I preferred Blue Square.
RabTheHermit, apparently betfair bought Blue Square last week.
Rab – heard that Milesey invested half of his his yearly bonus from Betfair and bought Blue Square.
Guido- Haha, wouldn’t surprise me.
AC I’m considering lumping 3 tons on Hamilton/Dumbarton BTTS
Striker … It’s always better when you hear what other people are on … Just had a look at the past fixtures between them and they definetly like scoring against each other … and this would bring in more money that the other 2 bets i was considering … cheers
Greg thats ok mate, I’m not basing it on that sat alone I just wondered wat his record was. agree he could easily score first just my opinion Psg may frustrate barca early. Good luck with your tips too.
sheamus I couldn’t see any bigger than 11/5 this morning on oddschecker, but I’ll hav another look, cheers
Nothing takes my fancy tonight so just gone with something to keep the interest.
Bayern -1
Barcelona -1
8/1
2-0 Linz..30 mins..thats the HAWK winnings doon the pan then!
badham thats not a bad bet and a very good price. Av done 3-1 to both only a fiver for interest. Good luck.
I’m going for Peterborough and Stirling double. Pays 12.25/1 in-shop at Coral.
im on shamrock rovers and bts in bolton huddesfield 3/1 good luck everyone
So-o-o tempted by PSG – Barcelona’s away record in the tournament is not good… But PSG let me down EVERY time – admittedly, away (NOTE TO SELF: PSG are at HOME tonight…)
Those odds are so tempting. I guess that’s the point – but Messi is playing. I can just see him running off to the side, hat-trick secured…
I’m leaving that one alone.
Also like the look of Brighton, Mr F. Charlton blowing too cold of late to put a spanner in the works.
Doubling with Bayern. They won’t put in another performance like that one against Arsenal.
I know was thinking that when the money popped up. That’ll do for a very tough night!
3 Bets Tonight £20 Dumbarton 11/4
£10 L.Messi F/G 11/4
£10 Mandzukic F/G 9/2
Good Luck everybody and cheers for the tips was on sligo -2 @11/4 Last night cheers
What market do i need to look at to bet on a player to score in the 2nd half?
John, just back in in time for the games. Any bookie who does a lot of inrunning markets will do this.
Beckham starting haha might have to watch the gamen mute and put music on
Trixie on Peterboro, Dumbarton and Bolton.
And a small stakes correct score yankee
Barcelona 3-1 PSG
Bayern 2-1 Juventus
Brighton 2-1 v Charlton

barcelona i have put the last of my dosh on £200 win and a wee cheeky £20 on 3-0 barca.
think your moneys safe james, they’ll learn from the 1st leg in milan last round and messi surely will score again at least once.
ps. this is only my personal opinion!!! :)
Go on Dumbarton 1-0 Yeeeeees
Jimmy, what channel’s Dumbarton on? I might switch over.
Psg Looking Dangerous stuck £30 on home team 11/4
I watch scores on williamhill scoreboard the tip of the day is going well!!
Go On Messi!!!!!
Looks not bad at half time with barca bayern double, Dumbarton single winning and Peterborough drawing, but we all know how this can change. Hope everyone’s gettin on ok, and what a screamer of a pass by alves – beautiful.
Stirling Albion over 1.5 goals :)
In play PSG draw no bet 7-1 I’m liking this without Messi now
Steven, it’s a decent enough price but anyone on Barca should be looking at the straight draw.
Much as I like Barcelona, wid have to say Fabregas is a weak link/not quick enough nor has a good enough first touch (he’ll probably score now) but the play always seems static/hesitancyt when he gets the ball…the ball is constantly rolling with rest of the team/never stops. Iniesta their best player including Messi for me/pulls the strings/big influence!!
Cheers Greg
could’t remember who flagged it up but got on stirling 1.5 at 13/8
nice one
Garry, not a lot of goals about too. Brechin have scored the same as the teams in the Champions League, Championship and Scots Div One put together.
Jeeez…widna like to neet thon Chiellini on a dark night…Christ!! :-(
Rambo Mcinally commentating on FCBM match..he used to like to let folk know he played with Bayern..wiz it Only an Excuse used to take the P oota him?..”when I played for Bayern in Munich with Bayern..” hahaha
Partick thistle down to 10 men 4/1 in play worth a punt or Raith 13/8
Stephen it could be a tough last 20 for Thistle.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t contribute tonight by putting up my bets due to a hectic last minute rush to get my bets placed in time.
I’ve backed Brechin at home along with Belgian Second Division side Woluwe to beat Oudenaarde at home in a double, which is my main bet before the weekends football. At halftime, I think I can breathe a sigh of relief as Brechin are 5-0 up. Hoping Woluwe can do the business tomorrow night. If you’re not too familiar with Woluwe and I’m sure many aren’t, they have won 10, drawn 2 and have lost just 2 at home this season and they look to continue this form when they take on an Oudenaarde side who have lost 11 of their last 12 games.
I would’ve expected Woluwe to be priced at around 4/7, which can be taken at William Hill but Bet365 and Betfair are currently at 8/11 which is a cracking price and I would advise anyone who likes a bet with real value to take a look at it
Dean, whens Woluwe playing?
if barca hold on here i might stick half my winnings on woluwe.
Famous last words m8
hope dumbarton hang on in there 20minutes to go 1-0
Linesman made a cock up there Ibra 4 yards offside
shut up spud lips, that was a lovely goal, come on PSG !
Milesey
the way my luck has been lately i knew that was coming.think i will be retiring from gambling.luck has been horendous last few months.
no way Dumbarton 1-1
never in doubt james :) psg was miles offside so justice is done
i am saying nothing.
gooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooon
Woluwe v play tomorrow at 18:30
Serves them cheating w@nkers right ;) ;) best team in the world hahahaha, don’t make me laugh, bunch of babies, get tapped and go down crying !
Milesey
Cruel! Absolute cruel.
Cruel! Absolute cruel.
* v Oudenaarde
I think that’s GMT Dean. Flash scores has it @ 7:30 on GMT+1 (BST)
what are the stats for Sergio Busquets 80% of the game on the deck rolling around, some quality player that.
Milesey
thats my luck just now,youve got to laugh or you will end up going mental.thats me done for the season.think i will just save all my betting money up for a kitty for next season.
Think they have more than proved they r the best team in the world over the last 6/7 years Milesey…the European Cup wins are testimony to that. You fair changed yer tune about the French??
When i put a LAY in at 1.1 i don’t care if the team are French, German, Italian, or African to be honest with you ;) ;)
Milesey
hahaha :-) I guess not…even if they were a Scottish team??? :-)
No probs Garry, glad you got on it! :)
Stirling Albion over 1.5 and opted for Stirling Albion double chance too at 5/6 instead of them to win, just as well!
Hard luck stories with my other lines!
Only 3 goals in the Forfar game and bloody Brighton, let me down for 4 teams and a daft 7 team over 2.5 line!
Barca look ordinary without messi, bayern the best team in Europe,so strong in every position
btts, they always do. Barca have great players but always miss Messi. Having said that they conceded an offside goal and a soft second one.
milesey is better sticking to the horses.
I had a four fold of PSG v Barcelona over 2.5, Hamilton v Dumbarton BTTS, Brechin v East Fife over 2.5 and Albion v Forfar over 2.5 but Bet365 would take my bet for some reason. I tried to put it on after going on the inplay market because at the time, games got underway, I couldn’t find a couple of the Scottish games so I gave up. Feel a bit annoyed that it came in. Dumbarton’s collapse at the end was a bit of a bummer, had them Draw no bet. I was on Peterbrough. Very surprised it finished goalless, 27 shots in that game
At least I wasn’t on Barca. Got to feel for those who backed them
Dean, a lot of the bookies missed out Hamilton v Dumbarton. Don’t know if they were confused by the fact the same fixture was played last weekend.
Milesey your just a halfwit talking crap
….. you must have watched the game with your guide dog for PSG deserved the draw !
Milesey
Milesey is not a fan of the way FC Barcelona approach and play the great game!!.. like his women, he prefers it ruff n ready, up n atom!..Vinnie Jones and Wimbledon are the benchmark!! ;-)
You only watch Barcelona for it must be better then watching the drivel you are subject to North of the Border ;) ;) Of cause no scottish team will ever be the best team in Europe, so i guess you have to jump on someones band wagon and if it isn’t ANUS, then it’s BARCA !
Milesey
Milesey, not true. I’d rather watch Bankies than Barcelona. And you’ve got a cheek slagging Scottish football when it’s a struggle to name a handful of top-class English-born players. Take away all the foreigners financed by Sky TV and your top league would be rubbish.
Like fine wine or women (eg “Hart of Dixie” star Rachel Bilson over horsey Amanda Hart anyday!!) I appreciate the finer things that are easy on the eye!..FCB come into that category, AC Milan in late 80s/early 90s as well..similary Maradona falls into that category..na wasthe best palyer by miles, skill, speed, drive, determination, influence, leadership…no question! In boxing Sugar ray Leonard, Muhammad Ali in the 1960s was the greatest ever athlete in my mind..those types/the ones that make it look easy and pretty – have to be admired in my book..itxs entertainment after all :-)
Your easily entertained, a man in a kilt playing bagpipes entertains you ;) ;)
Milesey
Hey, lay off the tartan trannies, Milesey. ;-)
Cant comment on what passes for entertainment in Scotland but im with miesey in his admiration for watching men dancing about in schoolgirls knee length socks,bells round their ankles and waving their hankies to rapturous applause,now thats entertainment :)
hahahaha, and if they bang some sticks together and shout then all the better. but at least they normally do it in a pub car park ;) ;)
Milesey
All the nations in these isles have their quaint differances and customs but they all love a wee drink,sport and a sense of fair play,sense of humour and a longing to get a spin in delboys van..its what makes us great :)
Sean sums up nicely the great British psyche!! :-)
oh sh*t, i just gave away your birthday treat, Mr F was going to come round in his Kilt with his bagpipes playing ” Mull of Kintyre ” be a happy birthday for you if it’s a windy night ;) ;)
Milesey
I knew of two of the greatest bagpipe players ever to draw breath..John D Burgess and Alasdair Gillies..if u ever saw or heard them play you wouldnt be anything other than impressed..anyone with world class levels of skill has to be admired. Mull of Kintye is unfortunately schmaltzy pop drivel written by an Englishman who basked in the dream of being Scottish!!! ;-)
Milesey what football team have you been watchin that are better than barca in the last 5yrs. Get a grip man! They are magic to watch!
Better than watching Drivverpool that’s for sure……..
Mr F
Maybe not many goals about tonight but earlier just for £5
took 3 swedish u21 games for over 3.5 goals
resulted in 0-5..1-4…9-0 just scraped home………HA!
btw palmeiras the corner specialists are up later in libc
To be honest winning the champions league / European cup 4 times is some record, Liverpool have won it 5 times, AC Milan 7 times, AND REAL MADRID 9 times, and i’m on them to make it 10 times. So to be honest when looking over a longer period of time, REAL MADRID are by far the best team in EUROPE !
Milesey
Milesey, I respect ur opinion, and agree with all your stats. Some older fellas still rave abouthe European Cup final at Hampden in 19560 btween RM and Eintrach t 7-3 it finished as being the best ever match/team?? Dunno, if everyone that claimed to have been there were there the crown widda been 1/2 million instead of 130K or whatever. Mr F’s was young reporter with the Clydebank Post and covered the match so maybe he can recall/have better informaton..tho his memories will be in black n white!:-) Cant compared generations unfortunately..when RM won it upteen times at the start there were only a handful of clubs involved and they had shitloads of money and bought Puskas, D Stefano etc/forfront of recent buying powers for MC/Chelsae. Id say CL is mujch tougher to win in last 10 years..so FCB’s success and they way they do it in such a competitive era is highly impressive..tho thy are not unbeatable. In a horse racing sense I recall wayching Arazi live in that incredible performance one Saturday evening in 1991 and never seen anything like it not since and also Dancing Brave with his versatility/speed.diffent distances,terrain competed all over etc was the best racehorse and think his rating confirms that..but again, different era…ud prob say Frankel but I didnt think he was versatile enough tpo suggest he was the best and didnt race abroad?? I like that Animal Kingdom cos he goes places and takes the best on with success…I’m no great expert on horse racing (notr much else)dont follow that closely, but just say what i see with these here peepers :-)
“”Mr F’s was young reporter for Clydebank post “”
Mr Fixit was probably still in North Korea at this time, i didn’t think he came over till about 2005 ?
Milesey
Milesey, can’t beat the bagpipes by the way. Love it when there’s a big game and the teams are piped on. Started on the Clydebank Post as “a young reporter” in 1986 then went back to North Korea for a few years and returned to the Post as editor in 1990 before going to the Record as Performance Predictions Director, the job Rangers want to me do now in case anyone missed that.
the 00 in scotland ruined that overs acc
and was on bayern -1, psg barca over 4.5, damn it!!
free titanbet money finally credited and promptly given right back to them on those two bets plus another woefully wrong!
sticking to weekend betting only now i think!
There is a simple rule you should follow :
NEVER BET ON SCOTTISH FOOTBALL
it’s so unpredictably sh*t that it will bust your coupon everyday, just look at the weekend results, rangers 0-0, celtic 1-1, who predicted them results ?
Milesey
Milsey I think, underneath it all, u have a notion for all things Scottish…should come up and smell the floo’ers and find out what a great country it is!! Come up with Muzz he’ll keep ya right :-)
Anyway Guido, i’m off, i’ll let you get back to your PARTY with Mr Fixit ;) ;)
Milesey
Glad i got on the hamilton/dumbarton btts pre-kick off, was planning to do it in-play in the hope odds go up a bit but had to go out so thought I’ll put it on beforehand as i might not get a chance. Looked at it at 9 and couldn’t see it in bet365, and they normally do most games no matter how obscure around the world! AC, hope you got on.
Garry, cheers for the reminder about Palmerias!
10/11 for over 10 which I’m a bit surprised about! They are usually that price over 14
17 in their last match so here’s for more of the same
Gone for over 2.5 at 21/20 too! Good luck :)
Greg, you can get EVENS for over 10.5 corners with Bet365. I’ve put some money on that. The price seems better than usual, which may have something to do with Palmeiras having a number of players out.
Ya on holidays?? tho u were at Aintree? ya doing stuff with yer wee lad, wife/burd?
Going upto Aintree tomorrow, VIP, walk the course, all enclosures, paddocks etc…. ;) ;)

Gimnastic V Prat
Get on PRAT @ 4/1 ;) ;)
Milesey
Say what u like about scottish footy but id like to thank brechin for ending my long losing streak with the overs and handicap i collected on…….£18.25…im made up and forever a fan :)
Brechin? Or Stevenage? To hard to call
BRECHIN a team who have been around since 1906, or STEVENAGE a team that have been around since 1980 and are in English League 1, thats some going for a team who have only been around for 33 years and have an average home crowd of 2500.
Milesey
Milesey, Brechin have a hedge on side of their ground. Betcha Stevenage don’t have one.
Stevenage have actually been around since 1976, Milesey.
AFC Wimbledon have only been around since 2002 and they’re already in League Two so it’s far from a miracle.
;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)
We didn’t join the league till 1980.
Milesey
Ill eat well tonight !!!
Cheers Bryan!
I’ got over 10 at 10/11 with bet365
If that fails there should at least be goals! :)
Look at the size of the English nation. An the income side of it. What chance do we have. Think if it was switched we would wipe the floor with yous.
Prog on about that sociopath/maniac Mick Philpott, fella that murdered 6 of his kids…hopes he not typical of the average tub thumping English fitba shirt wearing nob?!! :-)
Bring on Madrid gala could and should be a good game. Drogba 1st goal if he starts or yilmaz. Madrid for the win
That’s the corner bet up. Cheers for bringing it to my attention Greg/Garry.
No probs Bryan, Garry is the real Hero, he reminded me it was on, haha! Do you know what it finished on?
