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.

    Evening all

     

     

    Sorry to crash the Quiz but…

     

     

     

    Thinking of getting an ipad

     

     

    Anyone have any views about the 32gb as opposed to the 64g and any tips generally?

     

     

    Usage would be probably 95% CQN and 5% music etc.

     

     

    Cheers

    Postscript. Venerable wind-up merchant Awe Naw revealed on here that he was in fact Captain Bob and he was pulling their chain – laugh? , I had to change my incontinence pad.

     

    ——————————-

     

     

    I’d a strong feeling that Captain Bob was one of us winding one of them up. Makes sense that it was you. Very entertaining on an unexpected day off. You came across as a very contrite hun when you asked the “other” hun why we haven’t apologised for “our sectarian past”.

     

     

    That gave it away for me but to be fair you kept him going.

    Exhilarating, exhausting and everything we could have hoped for.

  22. TLWIO,

     

    Greetings,

     

    I bought a 32 G IPad in November.

     

    It’s the absolute bollocks ….best toy I have had since my Raleigh Chopper !

     

     

    So far I’ve only used about 4 G of memory, as I still buy CDs , and occasionally vinyl.

     

    32G is more than adequate.

     

    I also assumed that by the time I got near the memory capacity, it would also be time for an upgrade, or some smart dude would invent either a memory compressor or expander.

     

    I also didn’t bother with 3G , as there are so many places now where you can blag free wifi – particularly with BTFON.

  23. BTW RRC,

     

     

    you may unfortunately end up linked to St Stivs……

     

     

    :-)

     

     

    HAIL! HAIL!
