Billy Dodds Prediction Watch

[ICTodd]

Right so some of you probably already know the answer to this but I thought I'd vent a little frustration here! Being tipped to go down is never a fun thing to have against you, though something pleasing about being a Caley fan ( and indeed the players) is the fact we can prove people wrong because we are a good club in the face of adversity and people seem a little blinkered when it comes to us.

So it annoys me some what that Billy Dodds now repeatedly goes against us week in week out... but its the LAME excuses he has that really p*ss me off! The relegation tip read something along the lines off "they've been in the SPL for a while now, its their season to go down" (don't quote me on that obviously!). Wheres the logic in that!? We all read in and laughed, HAHA pundit, your having a laugh if he thinks he's one with that kind off stuff!

But here we are again and I'm finding myself not so much annoyed now but insulted by his sheer, and all I can say is this now, dislike for Caley. It may seem like a stupid thing to say but it really does seem this way!

Here's what I read and look at the previous weeks prediction for us (how he thought a 2-0 for Falkirk who hadn't won a game yet, yes he may have said they'll come after us for the points but I'd like to see what he said) and now the PATHETIC excuse he uses to have a go at Caley again!

I especially liked this bit in the link .....

"Doddsy, now a respected pundit with BBC Scotland, gives his views on this week's fixtures and predicts the scorelines."

and then it went on to say ..... Last time Doddsy got NO PREDICTIONS CORRECT. :thumb04:

[MissICT]

He either:

a) hates Ict

or

b)Doesn't know much about football

[ICTodd]

Haha I noticed that to, definately one for a screen snapshot!

[CaleyP]

well since he has us down to loose again thats good news for us isn't it...since he cant get a f***king prediction correct the little ****.

[frank_the_tank]

Anything Dodsy says should be ignored. The man talks utter garbage on a weekly basis and it's a joke the Beeb regard him as one of the top pundits. BBC Scotland have so many lame ex players they pass off as experts. Allan Preston and Des McKeown are another two who annoy me.

I've mentioned it before it's a PERSONAL thing for him after what Brew said about the state United were in when he took over, Dodds was part of the previous set up and was pissed off big style when he was told to GTF

[caley100]

Yeah... had to laugh at Donut Dodds predictions going all to ****, he is of course a complete divot and should for the most of it be completely ignored.

ahhhh, that would explain a lot !

[RiG]

I think it was Chick Young who made mention that ICT were certain for the drop because they had been in the SPL too long

Dodds slagged off the Rangers team when they were papped out of the CL by FC Woodcutters or some team like that saying "several of these players aren't good enough to wear the blue of Rangers and those guys know who they are." When asked to name them he refused saying he wouldn't do so - what a jessie.

WHAT! Professional people in football holding petty and personal grudges,surely not!!

[CaleyD]

His logic seems to be....St Mirren have been mince all season and ICT have been erratic, so that makes St Mirren the better prospect. Pure Class

[Scarlet Pimple]

[RossP]

He is a tool of the highest order and does seem to have a grudge against us....

However, I also feel we'll get beat tomorrow

Really hoping i'm wrong though.

[Guest Spectre]

Just filed a complaint with the BBC Online (much good will it do, Not):

"Doddsy's predictions".

Mr Dodds' personal vendetta against Caley Thistle and/or Craig Brewster is now beyond a joke. Every week he comes up with a tenuous reason why Caley are doomed.

I object to tax/licence payers money being abused in this respect.

[Kingsmills]

Given his form as a tipster, long may he continue to predict victories for the opposition.

[KingBeastie]

Maybe he's still upset at the abuse I gave hm when he was in the opposition dung out against us.

Aaw! Poor jug eared wee ****!

[Kingsmills]

With those lugs he's certainly likely to have heard it.

[HumbersideDude]

To put Willy Dodds ability as a pundit into perspective, 2 weeks ago he would only of scored 30 pointson the ICT prediction league. My 11 year old son who live in englandshire and has only been to 2 games in Scotland also got 30 points.

Does this make my son a "REPECTED PUNDIT" just like Willy Dodds?

[kencar]

To be fair he got 4 out 5 predictions exactly right the previous week and the correct outcome in the other.

He does, however, seem to tip us to lose more often that not

[KingBeastie]

With those lugs he's certainly likely to have heard it.

Ha ha! He did, he was getting most annoyed. I was quite loud!

[ICTodd]

Fair enough if he gets some right but its the way he goes about slagging us off! Never a good word

[ictchris]

Last season Billy Dodds predicted Rangers and Celtic would win every game and that all the Old Firm games would be draws.

He's a trumpet.

Agree 100 per cent re McKeown. I cant stand him.

Funnily enough I think Preston is excellent and knows his stuff. He doesn't just state the obvious like Craig Paterson.

[FortressICT]

Seems like Billy Dodds was right then eh?
