Ok that is ****ed.
Pitch resembles a swimming pool.

Interrupted since the 23rd minute - do you think it will continue? Seems like half an hour has passed already

Any idea what happens our bets if the game is abandoned due to weather conditions? Thanks


Edit - looks like they are back out on the pitch warming up again

All in - happy days:)

Celta Vigo playing at 7.45 this eve - match on tv - they are playing bottom of the league Malaga - fancy over 3.5 goals in that one on Bet365 at 3.0 - good luck with bets

I've been waiting for today for quite a while. I think there is betting gold available today for card backers.

The Catalan president declared Independence on Friday as most will know. In retaliation Madrid are invoking direct rule and have sacked the President and Catalan parliament. Today in La Liga Real Madrid travel to Girona right in the heartland of Catalonia. My other half is from a place very near Girona - I can tell you for certain the Independence movement is very strong there. The Catalan president is from Girona and was filmed yesterday walking around the streets of Girona meeting the people and gathering support. Now factor in that Real Madrid ('Royal Madrid' in English) who were commonly known to be Franco's team are playing there today and you will get where I am going with this.

Girona are no strangers to cards when they want, they managed 8 team cards last Monday away to Deportivo. I think that Girona 4 or more team cards @2.38 on Hills looks great.

I will just leave this freely available pic of Sergio Ramos to explain why I think he could end up in the book today.



Sergio Ramos to be shown a card @3.00 on 888

Also taking one of the local Girona lads Pere Pons to be shown a card @3.00 on 888.

For the day that’s in it a small stake on both teams to be shown a red card might not be a bad idea @20.00 on betfair/powers

There’s a big pro Spanish demonstration on today just down the road from Girona in Barcelona. This game was even in doubt due to the political situation... the stage is set .. let’s have em at each other!

There are other regions in Spain that may want independence (even though the majority of Catalans don't).

So basically how many of the Girona players are from Catalonia?
How many of the Madrid players are from Madrid?
And have any of them expressed an interest in the current situation in Catalonia apart from Ramos and Pique (who are both professionals)?

You may have players from the Basque region of Spain playing for Madrid and sympathising with the Catalan people so they aren't going to go out to 'make a point' during the game.

But then again maybe they will, good luck with the bet, interesting analysis:)

There were I believe 4-5 players from Catalonia with regular game time for Girona when I checked them. I don't think Madrid have any Basques (that's not for 100% tho) , last one was Xavi Alonso I believe. Bet is based on high political tensions and what the two teams or selected players represent.

Maybe the ref will keep the cards in his pocket to keep the calm with the political climate in mind. Hopefully not.

I see value on both Brighton double chance @ 1.62 and on under 2.5 goals @ 1.57 so will be splitting my stake evenly between both bets on this game.

1-1 winner winner
