THE action returns in the Scottish Football Leagues this weekend after the international break. And after signing off with a winning treble before the enforced lay-off our lower-league man Joe Wallace has been back on the case looking to give the bookies another bashing. Joe writes: We kick off in the Irn-Bru First Division and the clash between an improving […]

All games 3pm, Saturday THE SFL has been a pretty good producer of goals this season with Division Two averaging the highest in Britain. There have been an average of 4.1 goals a game while Division Three has produced a healthy 3.2 compared to the British average of around 2.5 to 2.7. I’m starting the line with Queen of […]

All games Saturday, 3pm IT’S great to welcome back a full card and be rid of internationals that play havoc with goals lines. So let’s waste no time with the first pick and it’s got to be Burnley v Middlesbrough – two teams who have netted in their last six games. Boro have been superb in Tony Mowbray’s second season […]

SIR ALEX FERGUSON reckons six teams could realistically win the Premier League title this season but bet365 predict it will be a two-horse race. They offer 2-7 that a team from Manchester lifts the title and 11-10 the pair fill the top two spots in the Premier League. Spokesman Steve Freeth said: “Fergie is the king of mind games and […]

PICKING both teams to score is tougher on an international card. Games, in general, are cagier and many away sides play for a draw. Also there are one-sided games such as San Marino v Sweden and Spain v Liechtenstein where a price isn’t even offered. Looking at Tuesday’s games and I see more no games than yes ones but I’ve […]

Charlton v Sheff Wed, The Valley, Monday, 7.45, live Sky Sports 1 TWO teams who feel they should be playing at a higher level meet in the Monday night TV showdown. Charlton have started League One the better of the two but Sheffield Wednesday will be boosted by new signing Ryan Lowe who couldn’t stop scoring when he was at […]

I GOT an email from a punter today asking what’s the score with bets placed on Celtic to qualify against Sion in the Europa League. The Glasgow giants were of course beaten 3-1 on aggregate by the Swiss but have been reinstated after UEFA kicked out Sion for breaching a transfer embargo. I can tell you that William Hill and […]

AFTER all the furore over the Scotland v Czech Rep game it’s easy to forget about the Ramsdens Cup quarter-finals that take place on Sunday. Three feature Division One sides against lower-league opposition with Hamilton and Morton contesting the fourth. There are usually shocks in this tournament but I’m taking Ayr, Livingston and Falkirk to edge out sides from Divisions […]

IT was almost the perfect day with Kenny Miller scoring first and Scotland hanging on to a 2-1 lead over the Czech Republic with seconds remaining. I tipped Miller to net the opener at 7-1 with Stan James and Scotland 2, Czech Rep 1 at 10-1 with William Hill and was working out the scorecast odds when the Tartan Army’s […]

DUE to the break for internationals we have to focus on matches in League One and League Two – and that’s no bad thing. There are plenty of matches with the potential for goals and I’m starting with Oldham v Huddersfield. Oldham have scored in their last five while keeping just one clean sheet. Goal-hungry Huddersfield have banged in three […]

ON Tuesday night I advised the best way to go on the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy was to try both teams to score. That proved to be sound advice with a host of favourites failing to win and only four ties not seeing both sides score. My treble of Colchester v Barnet, Burton v Sheff Utd and Walsall v Shrewsbury came in […]

THERE are three Carling Cup matches on Wednesday plus a host of Johnstone’s Paint Trophy matches. I posted my early thoughts last night and here are my selections after scanning the latest team news. Carling Cup games are tough to call but Johnstone’s Paint games are harder than picking six numbers in the lottery. In the Carling Cup the best […]

I WARNED you it would prove a difficult day and it was exactly that. There weren’t many short-priced jollies on the coupons and possibly the best-backed team on the day, Middlesbrough, failed at home to Coventry. However, myself and three of the other tipsters on the site all landed trebles. Mine came on draws thanks to Swansea v Sunderland, Cardiff […]

THE three highest-scoring leagues in Britain so far have been Scottish Divs 1, 2, and 3. So I’m ignoring SPL matches when looking for goals and starting this weekend’s accumulator in the First Division. Dundee v Morton smells of goals with both going well in the league. Last weekend Dundee crashed 4-2 at Livingston and in midweek Morton went down […]

IT’S another difficult weekend for betting in the Scottish Football Leagues but once again our man Joe Wallace has been on the case in the hunt for a winning treble. After Dumbarton denied us a decent pay day last weekend with a late in a 3-3 draw at Brechin let’s see if we can go one better. We start in […]

ONE punter wanted me to stop these predictions but I was right to go on after a fourfold on Thursday gave us a return in the region of 14-1. I’m aiming to repeat the success on today’s English card and kick off with Ipswich v Leeds in the Championship. Ipswich were humiliated 7-1 by Peterborough last week and are […]

Barca v Porto, Friday, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 BARCA love getting their hands on trophies – whether it’s the Champions League, La Liga or the Catalan volleyball open. Their hunger for success hasn’t waned after a couple of years of domination and that’s why they should be backed to lift the Super Cup in Monaco. The clash with […]

SHAMROCK ROVERS remain in Europe – Celtic and Rangers are out. That sums up the sorry state of Scottish football with no clubs in Europe beyond August. McBookie.com have reacted to the results by slashing Celtic’s Neil Lennon from 25-1 to 8-1 to be the first SPL boss to lose his job. Sunday’s home defeat to St Johnstone followed by […]

HERE are the top tips for Thursday’s Europa League play-off 2nd leg matches, some of which appeared in my Daily Record column. There are stacks of games to choose from and plenty of value around. My Super Single is Cypriot side AEK Larnaca who can turn up the heat on Rosenborg after battling to a 0-0 draw in Norway. […]

THE four English sides in the Europa League should progress to the group stage but it’s a different story for the Scottish outfits. Hearts are already out after losing 5-0 at home to Spurs while Rangers and Celtic are battling to save the name of Scottish football. Having no one in the Champions League groups is bad enough but to […]

YOU know your luck’s out when prolific Peterborough let down your goals line – but then that’s the beauty of the Carling Cup where form goes out of the window. Peterborough failed to score for the first time during Gaddafi’s reign and one punter emailed to suggest I should steer clear of this market. He claimed it was a bookies’ […]

YOU always expect shocks in the Carling Cup – but surely Liverpool will stroll through a trip to Exeter. Look at Tuesday night – Premier League new boys Norwich, Swansea, Sunderland and QPR all crashed out and I tipped three of them to lose. But with no European football as a distraction, Anfield boss Kenny Dalglish must be targeting decent runs […]

THERE are four ties in the Scottish League Cup and it doesn’t make much sense to back against any of the favourites. The best bets must be Inverness at Ayr. Terry Butcher’s men are missing striker Adam Rooney who moved to Birmingham in the summer but there are signs of improvement. Caley Thistle won the second half 1-0 at Aberdeen and in […]

IT was a pretty special night for followers of my top tips. My Super Single trapped in sensational style as 11-2 shots MK Dons won 4-0 at Norwich. And minutes later my 7-1 Bonkers Bet was up as Villarreal clinched a 3-0 Champions League success against Odense. Four out of five homes produced a return while three out of four […]
