Blinkered Views risky punt against St Mirren

1113
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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.

    Story I heard about a gentleman who fell out with Murray was that Jim Mcoll character from Clyde blowers. Suppossed to be nonsense.

    I have also been in the ‘rangers’ end at Hampden, was to see friendly between Scotland and Brazil (Pele and all) in 1966 when Stevie Chalmers scored in the first minute. Result was 1-1.

     

     

    ******

     

     

    I was there, too.

     

     

    Pelé was quoted afterwards on how much he enjoyed the game,(even though Bremner kicked him off the park) and that he GOT A CELTIC BADGE FROM STEVIE CHALMERS!

    Best of luck. WITS is a star.

     

    I’ve done the same line as you myself. First one in at 16/1 means free bets all weekend.

     

    Two places even will be enough for serious good weekend. Another winner well……….

     

     

    Thank you WITS.

    Serious question that’s been bothering me today (been quiet at the Monastery since we lost a big scribing account),

     

     

    If a company is bought for £1, does the buyer actually hand over £1 to the seller?

     

     

    Imagine the scene, “that’s it gentlemen, thank you. Mr Whyte you now are the owner of the most dignified football club in the universe. Congratulations”.

     

     

    “Ayyeeeeee, thanks very much and that kind of thing.”

     

     

    Ahem…. cough cough….

     

     

    “Yes Sir Minty?”

     

     

    “Where’s the pound!?”

     

     

    Genuine serious question., if anyone knows.

    Sorry, I should have been more specific. The towns called Didcot. I had a look around and can’t find anywhere in the town itself. I’ll be driving so not really concerned about the distance, just looking for nice Celtic friendly atmosphere etc. Thanks.

    In most cases no, a pound won’t actually change hands. It’s just a nominal figure. It might just as well be 1p. There has to be some sort of sale price, because if it is just handed over free of charge, it can be subject to gift tax.

     

     

    However, there have been cases, especially in the USA, where an ailing company has been bought for one dollar and goes on to be worth millions, and the actual dollar bill ends up framed on the wall in the boardroom, although whether that dollar bill really did change hands is anyone’s guess.

    Good evening friends.

     

     

    Not sure if I’ll make the quiz tonight as problems with my own laptop.

     

     

    In other matters, BBC4 from 9.00 till the wee small hours has various concerts and programmes featuring my hero, Paul Simon.

     

     

    Back later if I can snaffle my wife’s laptop full time…

    Hi Ginger Elvis,

     

     

    Didcot’s not too far from Swindon, think the Tap and Barrow near the railway station is still the Tim pub there.

    I find that very hard to believe, even for them.

     

     

    Do you have a link, or is it just Friday night pub talk?

     

     

    BTW that’s not a dig at you mate. Just wondering what your source was.

     

     

    Cheers.

    Why the hell are people on here reproducing irrelevant and unimportant “news” ver betum about that poison across the city appointing a convicted fraudster as a director? Why take the time? Who cares? They are nothing! Get it?

     

     

    Here’s a suggestion. Rather than getting all hot and sweaty pouring over every word that comes from their hate filled mouths, do something worthwhile and spend the same amount of time raising money for Vanessa.

    You do have a point. I have Newsnow (Celtic) as one of my set links. It is obviously there for me to have instant access to Celtic stories in the media.

     

     

    I clicked on it first thing this morning, and what do I see?
