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.

    ok. paranoia csc here.

     

    Rankers have to pay £250K within 30 days for Celik

     

    Rankers only real opportunity for income , other than selling a player is v us on 25/3 – there will be hospitality as well as the £336K that they’ll be asking us for .

     

    Wanna bet they’ll return the favour and ask for money up front ?

     

    ££££££££~££~££££~£££££££££££££££££

     

    The cost of their damage at CP will be deducted from that.

     

     

    We should not pay it in advance.

     

     

    That would mean Celtic buying Celik.

  2. What’s interesting about this Man U story is that not so long ago SAF would simply have got rid, and we would have heard nothing more about it.

     

     

    Perhaps as he gets older his power is waning, and doesn’t hold the same sway over the young players that he did over Scholes, Giggs and the Nevilles.

     

     

    In any case it sounds like Morrison is committing the worst sin of all, to sin against your God- given talent.

    googybhoy ,

     

    thought there was an reciprocal agreement for each club to pick up the repair costs at their own ground ?

     

     

    The rule is for away fix to be paid within 14 days of fixture but Celtic chucked that out (quite rightly imho) by asking for money up front for Dec 28 game . i think they’ll jump on the opporchancity to do the same .

    The lunacy of the EPL continues.. also sounds like a right lout

     

     

     

    Word down here is that City have asked him to run down his contract at Utd and they will sign him. Pay him 150k sign on fee and 40k per week. He is a City fan alledgly.

    It amazes me that any football club would tolerate a little tosser like that.

     

     

    Football is a bad, bad sport at times, with clubs bending over backwards for little back-street scumbags no other profession would even entertain. The wealth conferred on these people, utter without any sense of responsibility, is appalling.

     

     

    I look at people like Marlon King, drawing a salary, and it turns my stomach.

     

     

    I look at own our flirtation with people like Bellers, who has his own chequered past, and I find it extraordinary that as supporters we would make heroes out of people who, in any other walk of life, we would cross the street to avoid.

     

     

    Every player can run into trouble off the field. But for a young toe-rag, who assaulted his own mother, to be feted at all is offensive to all decency. For him to actually be demanding a weekly salary twice the annual wage of a local authority worker is just disgusting.

     

     

    I would not want him within miles of my club and if my own club signed him I would certainly not want to contribute a penny towards his wages.

     

     

    The values in this game are all of whack.

    Hi Partizan, how’s it going?

     

     

    Just got an email from David Rovics and he’s playing at Saints and Sinners in Bellshill on 9th March if you’re interested.

    If ragers ask for the cash up front

     

    We should make public their request and then ask why they want the cash up front .

     

    If it is not required that we have to pay ,then we should leave the payment till the last day possible .

     

    If needs be

     

    Then state we only asked for payment as good business practise as there were stories regarding the solvency of the club and ragers need not worry about us on that score.

     

    LET THEM TAKE US TO COURT FOR IT .

     

    hail hail

    Dont forget other huns with serious drink issues, mo johnston and swally mccoist.

     

     

    It goes without saying about mark hately’s habits.

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

    It is obscene. I think Fergie will be slapping him down. Word is Fergie rates him but all the Development staff.including psychologists do not.

     

     

    I doubt he will ever live up to his potential. He should be chased.

  18. the problem with the phone-ins is that the caller can be cut off and not be given a right of reply when they are slagged off. Would love to see/hear our ’eminent’ radio punters in front of an audience in a live broadcast with a chairman forcing them to come clean

  19. James Forrest is Lennon on

    I also read Danny Wellbeck is asking for £60,000 a week.

     

     

    That league is doomed. That sort of madness just can’t go on indefinitely.

    Fergie in the past would have booted him out of old trafford, but it’s a case of what if.

     

    Just think that the bubble has to burst sometime.

  21. So Keevins has watched Celik on the dreaded internet and has deduced from a youtube clip that he is a bag of tricks and will clearly be a very good signing for Rangers, and the fact no Swedish clubs were interested is immaterial!!!! The man is a bufoon!!!

  22. Barrach Obampot on

    Partizan we’ve had that many gales I don’t know how we ever managed without them! I emailed you earlier about the Caley game but after getting the David Rovics email I might change to accomodate his gig. Anyway I hope all is good with you.

  23. James Forrest is Lennon on

    Lol you know what? When I read here earlier that Rangers are putting his first name and not his second on the back of the shirt, I actually thought it was a joke. I really did. I thought it was Awe_Naw’s imagination running riot. It seemed so pitifully small minded there was just no way it could be true.

     

     

    And yet it is. Even now, on the edge of the abyss, this is what they choose to obsess over. This is what they choose to care about.

     

     

    The whole of the institution the SPL and SFA, the Scottish media and others would have us bend over backwards for has just let the mask slip, reminding us again at a very timely juncture just what we are being asked to consider saving.

     

     

    The level of their hate is staggering. Even in minor matters like this, it utterly overcomes all notion of reasonable behaviour.

     

     

    This is who they are. This is what they’re about. Save them?

     

     

    Not in this lifetime. I want them gone.

    These clubs get so big and are backed by so much Sky money that is unlikely the bubble will burst until the money stops.

     

    The Utd bubble will deflate the minute Fergie leaves.

     

    When Sky loses out to the new media the big money bubble will implode.

     

    Hopefully soon.

    Agree he is a buffoon but I thought Keevins did not believe in the internet….that’s why he can’t or doesn’t look at the RTC site.

  26. Busy busy day so only read the last page before catching up.

     

     

    Extremely sad to hear about the greed and arrogance of young modern day footballers. This on top of listening to Talksport’s ongoing analysis of Joey Barton’s tweets about his previous boss, Warnock.

     

     

    Barton is to football as Paul McBride is to the world of law. An egotistical, self perpetuating, self indulgent clown.

     

     

    Has anyone ever seen them both in the same room?!
