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.

  1. I have just re read Q2. I dont know why,but for some reason i thought the question suggested that players 1-4 scored their hat tricks against teams A-D and players 4-8 against teams E-H.

     

    I put it down to the corrosive effects on the brain of alcohol.

  5. many of my uncles went to thw EC Final in 1976 at hampden.

     

     

    for years they tormented me a wee bit with the Etienne Spidero patter,

     

    i was only 10.

     

     

     

    one uncle used to take on a hooped bar scarf and tell me he got it from a saint etienne fan at hampden.

     

     

    and that he had swopped a celtic hooped bar scarf for it.

     

     

    gullible so i was.

    It was instrumental in getting the Scottish licensing laws updated.

    typical celtic at the time, wasted the performance by giving them a silly goal at the end.
