No, I was on as well mate.

Parksy's tip and a 29/1 FGS bet on Vidic made it a great Sunday for me.

Cracking stuff Parksy and well done to you and all that followed and all that fancied it. suffice to say imo money does make you happy as ive been miserable as sin since drinking all mine friday night. well done one and all. My only saving grace is that i never had the money to crash Killie at the weekend. I would have been doubly deprerssed

Quick odds update-

13 January 2009
19:45 Brechin (4) Draw (3) St Mirren (4/6) 105%
19:45 Forfar (8/15) Draw (17/5) Forres Mechanics (5) 105%
20:05 St Johnstone (9) Draw (5) Rangers (4/11) 100%

I would be interested in finding out more about Forfar especially whats happening with their loan singings. I'm glad to see Bet365 going 8/15 on them tomorrow and whilst not a price i like to take a chance on if all things are fine in the forfar camp then i will certainly take the chance.

I better go get a scottish league thread done for this week as the 10/11 on dundee has gone already. I dont know what to make of my dundee thoughts. you can get 8/1 (extrabet) for them for the league but the price i keep looking at is skybet's 5/1 on them. They give 1/5th the odds for 1-2-3 (1/3 for 1-2 elsewhere barr extrabet that is win only)
Im thinking that with players coming back and the Jocky scott influence Dundee surely will at least get you your money back at the skybet price? Maybe a better run for your money would be with them 1-2 1/3rd odds 12/2 with betfred. sorry im getting carried away here but i cant help but think that dundee could be too large a price for a place. dunfermline is a minor concern and St johnston eshould only get better. bah im just tlaking nonsense here. dont mind me.

Still no news on Johnny russell. I should go and try and find out. the winner of this gets the winner of St johnstone and rangers. I suppose this puts extra onus on getting a win here. Forress anre gonna play their hearts out aint they? forfar are gonna have to be at the top of their game.
ESPNsoccernet - Preview: Forfar Athletic vs Forres Mechanics - Scottish Cup

noooooooooooooooooo bet365 got 4/9 on Forfar now. thats that fcuked then aint it? 8/15 in Ladbrokes and Hills. I cant guarantee i will be out tomorrow. infact i wont. I think i am gonna chance...hold on a sec i aint chancing nothing till i find out about forfar and more importantly russell who you know i love and overrate no doubt ......but i should stiill have an interest on forfar ht/ft at even money. Forfar aint been banging in the goals especially at home so it aint one to go daft on. forfar got a decent striker didnt they? . did Templeman join them from east Fife? i better check.

Forfar Athletic Football Club Official Website

Nah i think im getting confused with Andy Tod. even from reading this i aint sure if he's even gonna be playing 'Vastly experienced Centre Half / Striker, signed on-loan from Raith Rovers until Christmas'. Maybe i should ask on p&b. ive got avoidance issues though and find it hard to go to other forums.

Campbell really has put a side of experience together hasnt he? check out that midfield. I better go get my cc 1 bets togetehr i asked here about russell and co

Russell scored against east stirling on sun and will be cup tied

[kompressaur]

thanks itsallfixed. Shows you how much i know. still its good to see him still scoring. The situation still isnt much clearer to me after this post on p&b although it wont matter about tomorrow as you say

Levin stated today that he would prefer his loaned out players to be playing rather than sitting in the stands. He also said that they would go back to the clubs they have been in at which is great, however as he played in the Arabs cup game yesterday (and scored) he is unfortuately cup tied.

However I hope he comes back as he is a good player.

It sounded like he was staying till the last line. Aye forfar ht/ft and Sheff united for me i think. Im away to put my last bucks in the world on them and i'll see you all here tomorrow night.

[itsallfixedanyway]

Forfar minus 1 @ 6/4 with Sky for me,saw Forres in the last round at Dalbeattie and they are very ordinary ,lacking pace in defence ,though they are big in fact carthorselike up front.

[poltmcm]

Brechin Vs St Mirren - Brechin new manager in Jim Duffy, St mirren without Craig Dargo and Billy Mehmet who are both suspended

Aberdeen Vs Killie (Scot Prem) Killie without first choice keeper Alan Combe Through suspension also.

Forfar Vs Forres - Forfar not played Since the 20th December !! loan signing Keith Watson (Dundee Unt left back defender) may get a run out. I think this could be a slippery one for forfar not played for nigh on 3 weeks and with forres knowing it could be rangers in the next round then they will try to go for it..............might keep away from this one tonight

St Johnstone Vs Rangers - not to sure about the gers here should be open and shut but St Johnstone like the cup games and seem to up their game a bit.

nah don't think i'll be punting on these tonight lol

[kompressaur]

Truth be told poltmcm im not over enthused with anything but i do think that Forfar will have too much experience for Forress and...well your right that Rangers game hangs heavy in the air. Quite a prize for both team. I wouldnt recommend taking forfar but i have non the less. Best bet is to wait till the weekend for a bet. ive got too much to get on with about the place (getting the blocks sorted) and also im working on something that will make TDP the most visited gambling site the internet has ever known. it makes more sense for me to look into what im doing than to look at anything esle. I'll be here for kick off and come on the forfar

[szczwanylis]

with current problems with fans (over transfer policy) and st johnnies manager is rangers' coach former bitch
rangers -1 is gift imothey need to show they are still good
rest maybe small against st mirren

[FC Basher]

Forres Mechanics - Team players have little or no experience of playing at a higher level,another problem is in defence only two clean sheets against teams in the bottom 3 in the highland league isnt a good stat,another poor stat shows and their wins coming from teams no higher than 9th,3 of the winns have come against the bottom 3 who have only managed 8 pts between them all season,on paper this side look very poor.

Forfar,have a side that dont rely on goals just from the forwards but the midfield get their fair share to,the squad isnt a very old either,goalie 29,two 25yolds and 26yro make up the defence,3 of the midfield are under 30,and of the 3 regular strikes only one is over 30.Their league position suggest they not even a force in their own league,but they have some clean sheets to their name,Stranrear a league higher in the cup, a league leaders Stenny were both shut out.

Bets - 5pts on each
