Dag and Red tripped me up this afternoon. Couldn't have really seen a Cheltenham win coming and D&R @ 17/10 was absolutely absurd, regardless of the result. Onto the next one.

3-2!

It appears the answer is that they can't defend, despite being unbeaten at home. This afternoon is firmly belonging to the bookies unless things drastically change.

About 5 strong home favourites behind, and now Dag and Red.

1-1! Surely everything he owns on Torquay/draw now?

What did the mate of a mate do in the end, G_B? Torquay 1-0 up.

So, anyone care to tell me why Dag and Red are 17/10 today?

What a steaming heap of shite. As a country, we love to be offended by nothing. It's really fucking pathetic.

That's a soccergoal.

Still not sure how to get screenshots up here. Argentina over 2.5 goals comes in nicely.

On the commentary with Ray Hudson. The Peru keeper is like a green fly, apparently.

Colombia at their first WC since 1998.

3-3.

Alun Armstrong has his own football 5/7 a side centre. Happens to be a rather funny bloke, if a little egotistical with pictures of him playing for Ipswich v Inter Milan scattered throughout the building.

Anyone watching Ecuador v Uruguay? That disallowed goal decision. He's about 2 yards onside.

Thought I was onto a winner here. Annoying but can't really complain after Ozil scored in the last minute; 1-1 in the last-minute stakes. Had a little lay on over 2.5 few minutes ago too to minimise losses from this bet. Croatia-Belgium BTTS and the Ozil/Sweden-Austria BTTS double has made it a very good night. And Armenia. Can't forget Armenia. Lay betting has served me very well the past couple of months. Saved a lot more money than I've lost by doing it in-play. You can call it negative if you like, I call it saving money. This was a prime example. 2-0 up, Spain didn't look overly fussed about getting a 3rd. Don't concede many goals whatsoever. Belarus barely threatened. You just knew something was up, and so it was. Quick lay bet and I've virtually recovered my stake.

I've learnt the hard way with Portugal. They are perennial coupon-busters. Avoid at all costs.

Chile taking the piss in Colombia.

Just realised that South American qualifying is - if I'm reading it right - pretty much wrapped up. Only debate is whether Uruguay will qualify automatically or via the playoffs. Surely Uruguay, and for that matter Ecuador, won't be overly bothered - as you mentioned Disco - if they need to face Jordan?

Xavi 1-0.

Gone for Spain 2-0 in play.

Ah, fair enough. Hope Portugal and Spain get the goals mate. Disco - thoughts on Ecuador/Uruguay BTTS?

But... Italy didn't win? Not that I understand or indeed bet on AH.

Fair play to the lad. Debut at Wembley in a massive game, but he's shown no fear. No, he's not a world-beater and I'd like to think people wouldn't label him as such, but he's consistently ran with the ball, attacked the opposition and it was a bloody good goal. PEL!

GET THE FUCK IN!
