Hulk would you fancy NI tomorrow, still not sure I can see myself trusting NI, too inconsistent

Just back from Ballybrit. Some performance by missunited to beat the o Brien hotpot. I guess a crack at the greatwood hurdle in nov must be on the cards. I didn't hear post race interview. Did winters indicate that's the plan?

Sunny one minute. Pissing rain the next. Galway weather has returned to normal.

I agree that Belgium have a talented side on paper, but they're quickly becoming the mug punt of next year's world cup. Everyone always supports a fashionable alternative for these tournaments and they go off stupid odds. Already Belgium are shorter than Italy and Holland which is wrong, but I suspect they'll go off something ludicrous like 10/1 come next June, and you'll have the likes of Spain going at 8's

Belgium/Holland/Italy all 20/1 atm.

To me Holland are over-priced, i wouldnt really give Italy a squeak at those odds, ageing team and all that. Relying on mad Mario cant be a good thing!

Brazil and Argentina favs as the record of SA teams winning the WC in SA speaks for itself. Spain at 6/1 would be my idea of a decent bet.

It looks marginal at the moment but get the feeling you might see near 6/4 tomorrow which is probably enough to be a backer. NI have a way of putting in big performaces against good teams and are then crap against the dross, but that's probably been factored in. I actually think Austria are worth a lay tomorrow. As bad as we are, I don't think they're any better and that odds on looks very skinny

Ah I didnt see Youwin had gone 20's. Yeah Holland at 25's looks fair enough. I'd have Belgium at least that price. It'll be all one way traffic for their odds from now on. Maybe it's the potential playoff, but 50's looks huge for Portugal. The were a whisker away from the Euro 2012 final (which they wouldve won I imagine). Pity Youwin don't go e/w. Might still throw a token bet on it

Ireland 3 down at half time here. Played well up to and after the first goal, second goal arguably the worst defending I've seen at the show grounds and that is saying something, gone to shreds since

A european team cant win in south america in the world cup.my beloved argentina will be carrying my usual wager.on paper they have an unbelievable wealth of talent and its in their back garden.brazil will be much improved from that cup tournament a couple of months ago, but i dont think they will improve enough to beat the super argies.

Seriously don't know why he's ahead of McClean.


Didn't go balls in on N.I had a small bet

UrbanSea

Backing a team like NI is seriously bad for the heart, 1 up but they look like conceding every time they don't have the ball

2-0 Uruguay, deserve to be winning.

Stupid NI, only thing they're good for is cheap pints and sluts

Did a treble before I went to bed of USA,Venezuela and Honduras at 9/1. Woke up to see Honduras conceded a last minute equaliser. :rolleyes: Brilliant. :rolleyes:

Northern Ireland also let me down in a 6 team accum for 200! Why the **** did I back those useless bastards.

They were absolutely awful. Letting in that goal at half time was pure stupidity, on the back foot the whole first half yet had a goal lead, hang on until half time but they push and are left 3 on 3 at the back in the 46th minute. Awful play

Johner

Mitzos and cherries.

Why in the name of every deity there is did I think it would be a good idea to go back playing soccer last Monday night for the first time in 15 months?? Day two now of having more pains than I even knew I had parts of my body... Beef and Guinness stew for the dinner this evening though and there's a couple of cans of Arthur in the fridge to wash it down with as well, something to look forward to...

Belgium, while not being a real place, has a serious football team, definitely the best they've had since 86... Love to see them make it there, nobody would want to be pitched in against them

Next to impossible for a european team to win the world cup in south america.but they could be worth an ew nibble,personally i dont think they are any value.

I'd be punting them e/w... Though that could go tits up if they aren't seeded (and seeing how they havent qualified for a tournament in ages that's a possibility)

I use Sky Sports website, you have sign up with Sky Bet but when you do you can watch the replays from Racing UK and ATR on it. I still use ATR aswell.
