Scot's 1-2-3 Thread - 15th Oct

[Parahandy]

I've laid Gretna at 1.60 on betfair. With komp mentioning they're 4/6 (1.67) with betfred, I'm feeling pleased.

So far I'm on;
East Fife 1.50
Cowdenbeath 1.80
Laid Gretna 1.60

[Mr Chips]

Cowdenbeath I really like the look of.

Some very impressive results recently including the win over Stenhousemuir and also an away victory over Arbroath. Albion Rovers are rotten I mean they even lost to the Shire! 1.80 seems a very good price to me, although with all odds on aways it perhaps carries an element of doubt. Big Mixu though should have them fired up here. been over on Pie and bovril and everyone saying away win so that is enough for me. May perm them with an X2 in another game to give 2 doubles.

[Mr Chips]

looks good to me Mr C. Just the 72hrs bit i cant work out

St Mirren played 7 games in 21 days there before the break. Ross county have never won at Love street even when St Mirren were a poorer side. Ross i like on the road and will be at full stregth and some good players should be a bit fitter. Im leaving this one well alone. 1-1 draw or similar.

Suppose a £25 bet on Cowdenbeath would be as free as you like too as you'd get your stake back if for any reason they came a cropper. They'll win though and you'll have £75 in your account. I suppose it makes Cowdenbeath a 2/1 shot but only if they win. Could get your money back by sticking the £25 free bet on a 1/6 in the champs league. It could all go wrong though

[Mr Chips]

Komp, they will win no bother. Albion have been rubbish at home this season and some of the Blue Brazil's recent results have been great. Was on them went they beat Montrose a few weeks back too.


Gonna get in touch with my Forfar man who does the official website see what he thinks about Saturday

[Mr Chips]

Yeah I think I will be on Forfar. That 2-0 win a Raith was a cracking result:

From forfardispatch.co.uk
Boss plans to make it tough
FORFAR fans can look forward to three home Saturdays on the trot, as the Loons bid to enhance their league position.
Stirling Albion are first up this coming Saturday, with league leaders Gretna due to visit Station Park on Saturday, October 22, ahead of Alloa Athletic on Saturday, October 29.
In between, there is a trip to Ayr United to be made on Wednesday, October 26.
Having recorded an excellent victory at Raith Rovers prior to the mini-break due to international action, new manager Ray Farningham is keen to hit the victory trail at home.
"I want teams coming to Forfar knowing they are going to be in for a real hard game," he commented on Tuesday (yesterday) ahead of training. "That was what it was like when I was a player, and if we can do that again we will get the victories."
Raymond missed out on Scotland's World Cup k.o. as he was away watching a junior player in action on Saturday.
And, the previous night, he and assistant boss George Shaw took in the Stirling Albion-Alloa Athletic league game at Forthbank.
"The result was nil-nil, but it was an open game, and both teams created a number of chances," added Farningham.
"Stirling are a team that do create chances, so we will have to watch them on Saturday. However, if we show the same attitude as we did against Raith then I will have no worries."
In what was a busy week for the manager, he also fixed up a bounce game against Cowdenbeath to give his fringe players match practice.
"It was a useful exercise, and I hope to be able to fix up similar games at least once a fortnight to keep the players who are not playing regular first team football match fit."
The manager was down to the bare bones for the Cowden match, but there are no major injury worries ahead of the Stirling Albion encounter.
David McClune (hamstring) and Martin Cameron (groin) both missed out but should be o.k.
Striker Paul Tosh is also upping his training, but there is no rush to get the player match fit.
"Paul has been out a long time, and will take the advice of the physio as to when he can return," said Ray

Cracking work as alway guys. I like to read a good bit of analysis like. I was on another Scottish forum today and it was pants!

Anyway, I've had 5 points on the Cows're whatsit as the stats / respected north-of-the-border opinion looks good.

Cheersfor the tip!

Aye honest Amp as Mr C and most the other scots posters are saying Cowdenbeath is a corker. I dont know if we've been there seen it done it fcuked it up before but to me the levity of the fancy in Cowdenbeath is immense. I just can not see them winning this by 3 goals or more. It may sound a bit of a brash statemet but i do honestly think thats the way it will go. The 4/5 is a great price in everyones opinion.

Maybe gamblers just have short memories

I aint so sure as i was about Forfar Mr C i gotta admit. from reading their reports i thought they sounded pretty average of late and there was nothing in it either way about them being good nor bad. I dont know if Stirling are gonna become erratic. that doesnt make sense but i'm fearing something on it. Forfar aint got that ooomph i was hoping for. Maybe back in front of the home fans with Gribben relativeyly knew to them and the manager too could freshen them up but i aint as keen as i was.

[kompressaur]

Sorry that gamblers memory remark was from when things have went tits up in the past over so called logically brilliant selections.

aye sites like Betting Advice is quite poor for a lot of scots coming on and giving there opinions. I'm glad i have a few of you lads posting on there now, as the more info the better although i'm glad some of you came on and pointed this site - good to see what everyone else is thinking and also good for people to disagree with selections and give good valid reasons.

[kompressaur]

Truth be told Milners i think Amp meeant another forum. You ever visit www.punterslounge.com ?

thats where a lot of us came from. The Daily Punt is only 5 months old and we're just wanting place on the net to share views with no pishy stuff and maybe have a laugh as we go about it. Other areas are more serious and the General chat is second to none but you've got to be sad to post in there but ive been doing it for years

Got to say just had a quick look and its not the best is it. Betting Advice seems to be more foreign leagues than English and Scottish but i don't mind it too much - i give my opinion on what i think and try and help them if they are stupid to follow my bets!!! Being honest i've only been on here about a month and this is second to none on scottish football good info and it will only get better i think - Didn't know its only been going for 5 months, jesus well done mods on getting this site up and running.

[Bigkegman]

mmmmmmmmm Cowdenbeath look like this weeks Morton !

I'm on the band wagon tooooooo...............

[kompressaur]

Cheers Milner and seeing you walk in the door cheered me up as much as Eric Black probaly did for you back when Aberdeen (and Dundee Utd) were Euro forces. Its hard to believe that it was as late as 1987 (i think) that Dundee utd were in a Euro final. all seems so distant now and kids would never believe you.

It isnt the best at PL Milners not since we left. Its good to have the freedom and the chance to make TDP a perfect internet gambling bookmark as Betting Advice is for me. I just get annoyed that they dont really talk about the games till Thursday. Invaluable for European footie and TDP is doing ok in catching up. We've got some great posters in the Euro leagues and my aim is to give the posters someone to discuss their bets with. If anyone ever needs to ask anything about betting or anything else then there is a place for them to ask. No need to trapse the net as we got it covered.

Setting up the forum has taken its toll on me Milners i gotta say. I know eventually though i'l be able to just relax and get into the scots 1-2-3 thread and arsing about Gen Chat. Actually im making no sense due to Side-Kick. I think im complacenet at the mo with the coupon almost picking itself at the moment. I suppose once the weather turns bad and injuries and suspensions set in it will lead to more of a look.

I'm looking forward to some great Scottish threads
