Kelty 11/10 at Stirling. I like Stirling as a day out (especially at this time of year, when the bloody students aren't there) and I like them as a club... but I think their League Cup performances have made bookies price them up very cautiously. In terms of coupon price, I'd say they're the most over-rated team in the SPFL - but I'd've said that before they beat Stenny last week. This could be the last time Kelty go off at odds-against in a league game this season - though they're at Forfar next week, so they'll have to impress today to be odds-on there. Worth a bet to beat the Binos today.

Aye. McBookie a standout 20/21 about Killie... That price may be a wee jibe at Killie and may put some fans off. Like Kamberi having #23 as his Rangers number. Some Gunt really ought to have #51. Parent firm BetVictor go 19/20. Everyone else is shorter. I'm still tempted by 5/6 Killie. However... After last week's resounding 0 for 3, I'm looking at an Ayr, Pars, Sons, Cove, Loons combination of some sort. All fairly comfortably odds against. Maybe ten £5 trebles and an acca. Might be a greedy mug and just go £10 x 5 for an any 4 from 5 perm

The Famous Aberdeen - European Tour 2021/22
FortescueFotheringhamSmyth replied to tarapoa's topic in Scots in Europe
Surely not? Not if there have only been a few objects thrown. Or a pagger. Or a few stabbings. We are talking about UEFA here. It's not as if there have been allegations of offensive banners, songs or shirt designs -

They've played 11 extra minutes in Cyprus. Still playing. Still 1-1. -

Qarabag equalise in the 93rd minute. Allah must've appreciated that goat. Doubt it was served curried with rice & peas though. -
Following on from Larne beating Aarhus, to show the Danish League ain't that great... ....Dundalk are 2-1 up at Vitesse in added time, so the Eredivisie can't be as strong as many fear - though Vitesse were 10 points behind AZ last term. *EDIT* ...And there's the last-minute equaliser, just I hit the "post" button. 2-2

Hibernians just gone 1-0 up in Riga.... ...and Dundalk 2-1 up at Vitesse, after being 1-0 down early.

AEL Limassol just gone 1-0 v. Qarabag. Got to prefer Cyprus to a trip to a bunch of goat slaughterers ... or whatever it is they do to goats down there -
Another St Johnstone European Tour!

My bet for 33/1 Galatasaray to get 5 or more sort of looks a shrewd investment... but sort of not after 30 minutes. -

Very good. Reminded of the Jerry Sadowitz joke. "Nelson Mandela, what a c**t! Terry Waite? Ba$**rd! I dunno, you lend some people a fiver and you never see them again." -
I should hope so. I wouldn't watch an EPL game if I was paid to, but the idea that he's turned into Frank Haffey on a particularly bad day serms ridiculous. I doubt there are more than two better goalies in the Premiership. Potentially season-defining signing, in my view... but he'll need to be on form until some defenders arrive.

Bookies found their balls at last... 48 hours after pricing-up several Dinamo Sovietski v. FC Novo Mafiosi type ties in Eastern Europe. It's a "pick 'em" first leg - which is a mite insulting: I thought Hibs would be favs for the home leg. Just about 17/10 each side, with the draw quite tight at 23/10. There are no "To Qualify" prices on Oddschecker and none on any bookie website I've looked at, which is dickless beyond belief.

FT: Bohs 2, PAOK 1. Unfortunate late concession. Still, there's hope. I'd say Bohs will concede fewer in Greece than Sainties will in Istanbul. Dublin would be a good trip. A lot safer than Greece... Unless you resemble Brian Rattigan or Del Boy Hutch.

...Not as funny as if ex-Arab Sam Stanton notches for Dundalk v. an Erse Cheek in a later round. We live in hope.

Not watching. Checked HT stats. Sounds as riveting & high class as a Swedish Cuisine v. Scottish Cuisine Masterchef encounter... though not one overseen by Gordon Ramsay in this case. -
Another St Johnstone European Tour!
FortescueFotheringhamSmyth replied to Steve McQueen's topic in Scots in Europe
Amazingly, the weather forecast for Istanbul on Thursday is 36c and unbroken sunshine. I can almost see Poula Fisch flipping the weather map over and letting out an astonished, "Scorchio!" I can also almost see Antonios Gubba concluding the Chanel #9 Sportos section with "Galatasaray chinquo, Agios Yohannespoli zero".☹ Maybe an appeal to UEFA could see the 2nd leg played somewhere with a temperature of 36f. That would even things up. -
Another St Johnstone European Tour!

SkyBet go 4/1 St. Johnstone to qualify. Galatasaray 1/7. Bet365 a less pessimistic 11/4 Sainties, 1/4 Gala. For the 1st leg: 1/3 Gala, 9/2 draw, 11/1 St. Johnstone - Billy Hill alone with that standout price.
