Being spotted in the Uruguay end ................ Priceless !!!!!

My free bet of £10 went on the England game tonight.
Had to be placed on a first goalscorer bet or a correct score.
I decided to pick Uruguay to win 2-1 at odds of 14/1.
That, combined with Suarez any time, made for an enjoyable night. Although that last 5 minutes was nervy as f**k!!
Also gave me a correct score on Sky Super 6, and a correct score in the office prediction league, 10 points plus a bonus 5. Happy days.
It's what you call an 'all eggs in the one basket' result
;-)

A cocunut to anyone who can predict our two goalscorers. I'll go for Kello and Ridgers.

A good day.
Took 1-0 Italy, lost £4 on that one.
Also HT draw, FT Italy £6 @ 11/2= £39, and Balotelli to score last goal £5 @ 6/1 = £35.
I am loving this world cup so far.

Or fanny about as a mini-cab driver.

Majors are golf tournaments.
Tennis have Grand Slams.
I know, just being a pedant again.

Which one, so many to choose from ?
For me, in terms of stunned disappointment, the LC final vs the-club-formerly-known-as-Rangers is a close second to the H match.

Everyone will have their own opinion about tactics, team formats, and how to approach each individual match against specific opposition. However, one constant that seems to flow through the most successful teams is a strong backbone that allows the rest of the team to play their own game and create an attacking force.
Is that Tommy Craig's template for St Mirren in 2014-15 and beyond ? I certainly hope so !
Four critical positions must be sorted.
GK - Kello and Ridgers (and maybe dilo ?). IMO this is a great start.
Centre back - at the moment it looks like McGregor will be a deserter. That leaves McAusland - is he strong enough to fulfil this key role ? The jury is out - some terrific MOM performances last season but consistency and outright blunders blot his copybook for me. I see him as the 'support' centre back, we need a more dominant figure in that pivotal role. Who can fill that role ? Perhaps Naismith who has been absolutely excellent this season but who would be a loss at attacking right back. Let's hope TC has someone in mind already.
Centre midfield ? Can Jim Goodwin be relied upon ? Back-up required.
Centre forward - we have an ageing front man who encompasses everything from sublime to ridiculous. There has to be someone younger coming through to fill this role very soon,
Help ! Suggestions anyone ?

Not too vigorously I hope, or your bunnet will fall off

Masochistic maybe but I really enjoyed that wee film. When was it made ? In fact, why was it made ?
Great to see some of our B&WArmy contributors involved (Reidy & HSS) and Brian Wright at the end, son of former SMFC manager Alex Wright.

Apparently Tom is Shull's wee brother.

That's much better.

Disappointed that Keane won't be coming to Glasgow. A real Point-and-Laugh opportunity missed for the fans of all other Premiership clubs.
Although I still quite like Somewhere Only We Know,
