It's always the way with these bloody things. I'll find at least one winner next weekend! Premierleague starting too so should get a couple of extra posters in for it.

Well wrong on Burnley, there were a few decent bets down south yesterday, I'll put a couple up for next week a wee bit earlier to see if we cant get something going here.

Aslong as you didnt lose too much on it then move on, there will be days to lay us this year and although I dont have the heart to do such things I know plenty who do, you can make it back easy. LAy Hamilton on Monday for starters

Aye get them involved, see what theyre made of, if theyre going on team news like Stranny being without a whole team today then good luck to em but it wasnt quite accurate. It was a good bet though, well done to all of you, we got a bit lucky in the second half, I thought Brechin would hammer them by 3 at least.

Nowt yet but then I've not been in town, always try to take in a few movies over the month. It can be a bit too busy for me, too many window shoppers at some of these outdoor events, no time for them at all, half the performers look like right pikey buskers. I'm a total cynic with stand up and the amateur theater groups who pop up all over the place, a girl I used to go out with once danced in the style of a dreamy ghost for one, everybody involved in the production (use that term loosely) were right patronising ********, similar attitude spotted elsewhere in the city. A group of street dancers in Bristol last year were out busking in the grassmarket last year, playing up the old och aye the noo's and ginger jimmy hats, an American pal of mine at the time was laughing that I mustve been the only Scottish person within about 100 yards. That was until I pointed out there were 3 homeless people begging along the outside of the pubs watching the whole display go by, the arrogance of the dancers and I have to say the tourists was sickening, they just kept blindly stepping over the homeless and shuffling them out the way, throwing ?5's ?10's etc at the dancers takign the **** out of the Scottish people. If they had turned round and dropped 50p the other direction then theyd get a hello and a thank you from a real life jocko whos managed to fall by the wayside in a city that for one month a year gorges itself on decadence and self righteous arseholes who pat each other on the back for just being there. I do enjoy the festival and its great for Scoitland and the City but I wish people would have more respect for the place, Edinburgh itself isnt a museum or a theme park no matter how many visitors wish it was.

Theyre playing East Stirling at home next week but the week after theyll be against Montrose on the plastic, Baird will be back for Montrose, the time is coming Build the funds yourself mate...... its coming

lovely bet bob, hope its a sign of things to come for all of us this year. won all my bets today too, brechin at the heart of all of them!

2/1 most places, worth a look?

This Brechin bets being jinxed by everybody online tonight! Another couple of grand to sink it..!! They should coast it, Stranny only have 2 first team players out, but it woudlnt matter if they played anyway.

The Naps comp has coincided with the death of all SFL betfair punts or tips being talked about like we used to, which is fair enough I suppose given the positive effect the competition has had on the place. The rest of the world still plays football though and you can be sure that wherever 22 blokes and a pigs stomach find themselves in a field there will be odds available on it.. so what are you betting on this weekend? I've not followed the build up to the kick off down south at all, so if any of you have a decent punt in the English leagues then get it up here pronto.. Falkirk v Rangers big price at 6/1? Too many injuries? I've no idea, give me an english team to bet on.

OR we could just open up the INSTRUCTIONS sticky topic to include + SIGN UP HERE ??

Did I have a post deleted on this topic?! I put a message up the other day apologising for not doing anything about this weeks ago when the first odds came out and I knew it would turn into a bit of a mess! I will do my best to help out when and where I can but despite the small amount of time it takes to get the odds up and then add the numbers together it wont be every week. I had plenty of complaints last year so I just stopped after a couple of months What we need is either a topic or a new page with an actual list of players signed up, who can call go there to see the rules/payouts and whats required in terms of post format and deadlines.

The price of hiring the bloody things has probably gone up, for all the obvious flaws in the system it still represents great value for alot of people, especially some kids with season ticket holders who were getting in for free last year. Obviously theres those who would rather have a drink on the way to a game or those who would like a bit more time before and after away from Inverness, for those people and those with a bit more cash to spend theres plenty of other ways to get around Scotland. But the setup obviously suits some and will continue too, I'd hope the supporters club buses are always in operation in one form or another as its been there for virtually every game and can be relied upon. This is all a bit off topic

Apparently the official supporters club are struggling to fill 1 bus but there should still be a decent crowd through.

Brechin @2.20

My decision to go or not depends on RIGs reply to a PM I sent him last week....

Oh dear Oh dear.... this should be an easy week to total up

Rangers probably get as many tickets for tynecastle as they do for our ground, Celtic will get a few more as they are still given the entire Roseburn stand. Edinburgh is no different to any other town in Scotland, walk down the street 5 minutes and youll see half a dozen fools clad in old firm gear, there is easily a huge local market to sell these tickets too, theres loads of Rangers and Celtic bars round here who would buy blocks of seats.

Dumbarton @ 2.10

Gluttons for punishment sign in..

If Cowdenbeath are 1.5 to beat Annan the next time they play in Fife later this season, I'll give up working for life and live of the proceeds.

You lot must be having a feckin laugh. Compared to Pressley, the likes of Tokely or even ME look like Linford Christie. His legs have gone, not mobile enough to play in the SPL anymore, signing him would be suicidal.

Slightly off topic RIG but do you still live near the ground?

It seems I didnt say the rest of the world would be immune.

Off topic I know but the term 'credit crunch' is a classic bit of spin used by somebody somewhere that everybody seems to have latched onto. Almost sounds like a breakfast cereal. Replace it with 'the UK is very close to being completely bankrupt, with both ourselves and the US in Trillions of un repayable debt so a 10 year + recession is more than likely' and youd be closer to the mark. No idea what effect itll have on Scottish Football but it'll come somewhere down the line, plenty of clubs trade off the value of their land and could well have the rug (almost literally) pulled from beneath them. Obviously the man in the street may eventually decide that paying for his home and food is more important than paying ?20 to watch a football game (if on his own) and will do just that, all clubs would be hit. Aslong as we're in the SPL then there will always be an income to be had, its if we go down youd have to worry with the future looking bleak.
