Blinkered Views risky punt against St Mirren

1113

In his Bookies Corner article for the current issue of CQN Magazine, columnist, Blinkered Views, suggested St Mirren offered good value for a punt on relegation.  I spoke to him when he submitted the article and suggested, “Surely Dunfermline?”  He agreed Dunfermline were most likely for the drop but they offered no value.  St Mirren, on the other hand, were 9/1 for the drop and he made a good case why this was worth a bet.

St Mirren promptly spoiled Christmas for thousands (not your or me) by coming from behind to beat Rangers but that has been their only win in 8 league games.  We also don’t need to be reminded that when visiting St Mirren Park, form is a poor guide.  Celtic exited the Scottish Cup there a week after beating Saints 7-0 at Celtic Park.  They are a team who can raise their game for the big occasion and the visit of Celtic, live on TV, is as big as it gets around Paisley.

Paddy McCourt has enjoyed his visits there and has been key to Celtic collecting the points a couple of times.  Don’t be surprised if he makes a match winning appearance from the bench.

  4. The petty decision by the huns to print the new guys forename not surname really does encapsulate all that is wrong with that mob. 130+ years of unsurpassed dingity indeed.

  9. Calling their new player Marvin isnt petty, its purely a buisiness decision. One extra letter means an added 70p per printed top, with them projecting an increase in turnover by almost £8 over the coming 5 years

    Sorry no can do but I know where I can get my hands on a reconditioned cattle prod, if that would do instead?

  20. Why are some radio Clyde listeners so concerned about a 15 minute walk? Are they disabled or something? !5 minutes..for goodness sake!! Obese city indeed.

  21. Strange tweet

    News that Andrew Ellis now on Rangers’ board is indeed interesting. But worth noting he was already a director of group which owns the club.

    The Company announces the following changes to the board:-

    No further disclosure pursuant to Rule 71 and paragraph 18 of Appendix 1 of the

     

    PLUS Rules is required in relation to the appointment of Mr Ellis.

     

     

    Furthermore, the board announces that Philip Betts has resigned as a director

     

    of The Rangers Football Club P.L.C.

     

     

    The Board would like to thank Mr Betts for his valuable contribution to the

    director of the Rangers FC Group and his previous experience in football will

     

    be a benefit to the Club as we look to the future.”

    Club following the takeover last year.”

    I’m fine mate, how are you? Bad weather heading your way again I hear.

     

     

    It will be a good while until I know my shifts for March. Are you thinking of going? I imagine it will be pay at the door so I might make it up.

     

     

    share

     

     

     

    It’s free entry, I actually do a wee shift in said pub

  25. So the charlatan Andrew Ellis finally declared as being on the rangers board.

     

     

    I wonder how the laptop loyal will ignore that one?

     

     

    And why do I have such a big grin on my face?

     

     

    The end is nigh…

  26. Ahhh heres the explanation, directly from FF..now its clear

     

    ———————————————————-

     

     

    Re: Ellis replaces Betts as director

     

    All guess work just now but Betts was surely there for the Tax case, Ellis is a property guy so it could be seen as good news. Tax case at an end, G51 Redevelopment a goer!

    There’s an old guy on our bus who’s got a dodgy knee, goes to every home game and a few away games, he can’t even attempt Hampden because of the walk.

     

     

    There will be plenty like him.

  28. Marrakesh Express on

    No calls about rtc on snyde tonight?

     

    The denial continues.

     

    I think bottler Flanders expected a call from Bristol.

     

     

    Hh

  29. Aunt Sally double speak.

     

     

    Stating no formal bid from WestHam, Press Association reporting both clubs have held informal talks.

     

     

    Let the bidding commence…
