NI away are terrible.

UrbanSea · 08-09-2013 04:11PM

Are you just saying this to sound knowledgeable or did you look at their form, draws to Malta and Portugal away aren't terrible. Would be more worried of a draw because they don't score much away

kksaints · 08-09-2013 04:14PM

Northern Ireland had 2 players sent off on Friday so I would say they are suspended also Northern Ireland only drew with Luxemburg in Windsor Park.

UrbanSea · 08-09-2013 04:16PM

Forgot about the sendings off

Slattsy · 08-09-2013 04:24PM

I've a lot of friends that live in Lux and i know they're confident of winning.

Slattsy · 08-09-2013 04:26PM

A draw away to Malta is terrible. I'll give you Portugal.

UrbanSea · 08-09-2013 04:34PM

That Malta game was actually a friendly I can be more forgiving. Doing a bit of research, NI had 3 disallowed goals and hit the post when they drew with Luxemburg at home conceding in the 86th minute.
Chris Brunt is a big loss Luxembourg coming from the back of a hammering in Russia

I always go with the home team in games involving **** teams. Safe.

UrbanSea · 08-09-2013 04:56PM

Ah I'll see. Going to the Ireland and Germany under 21 game tomorrow night in the Showgrounds, should be decent

Colonel Sanders · 08-09-2013 05:56PM

Is there anything to be said for another mass?

Two day hangover. :rolleyes:

Germany will destroy us.

kksaints · 09-09-2013 12:51PM

Armenia at 9/5 could be a decent bet tomorrow against Denmark. The Danes are nothing special and Armenia have some decent results in the last few years including a 4-0 victory over the Danes earlier in the campaign and a recent win over the Czech Republic. They have thrown in some stinkers aswell (They lost to Malta at home) but I think it could be a decent bet.

Slattsy · 09-09-2013 03:48PM

What did McClean do wrong on Friday?

UrbanSea · 09-09-2013 03:58PM

Is he dropped, thought he was the best player

Slattsy · 09-09-2013 04:00PM

I know.
Pilkington in to replace him. Shocking stuff.

UrbanSea · 09-09-2013 05:11PM

Awful. McCarthy shaded it from Whelan for the worst performance the other night

NaiveMelodies · 09-09-2013 05:29PM

Would be the kind of game we might win, Austria have all the pressure on them, win and theyve a great chance of playoff, could easily freeze.

Was my first time watching Colombia last night, I think they must have had an off night! They were poor enough, probably after the red card for Ecuador they went 1-0 up they were in cruise control but they were lucky not to draw. Ecuador missed a penalty, judging by Colombia's results they will be a threat at the World Cup along with Belguim. The talent in Belguim absolutely ridiculous!

I agree that Belgium have a talented side on paper, but they're quickly becoming the mug punt of next year's world cup. Everyone always supports a fashionable alternative for these tournaments and they go off stupid odds. Already Belgium are shorter than Italy and Holland which is wrong, but I suspect they'll go off something ludicrous like 10/1 come next June, and you'll have the likes of Spain going at 8's

UrbanSea · 09-09-2013 05:37PM

Hulk would you fancy NI tomorrow, still not sure I can see myself trusting NI, too inconsistent

Overthelast · 09-09-2013 06:27PM

Just back from Ballybrit. Some performance by missunited to beat the o Brien hotpot. I guess a crack at the greatwood hurdle in nov must be on the cards. I didn't hear post race interview. Did winters indicate that's the plan?

Sunny one minute. Pissing rain the next. Galway weather has returned to normal.

Belgium/Holland/Italy all 20/1 atm.

To me Holland are over-priced, i wouldnt really give Italy a squeak at those odds, ageing team and all that. Relying on mad Mario cant be a good thing!

Brazil and Argentina favs as the record of SA teams winning the WC in SA speaks for itself. Spain at 6/1 would be my idea of a decent bet.

It looks marginal at the moment but get the feeling you might see near 6/4 tomorrow which is probably enough to be a backer. NI have a way of putting in big performaces against good teams and are then crap against the dross, but that's probably been factored in. I actually think Austria are worth a lay tomorrow. As bad as we are, I don't think they're any better and that odds on looks very skinny

Ah I didnt see Youwin had gone 20's. Yeah Holland at 25's looks fair enough. I'd have Belgium at least that price. It'll be all one way traffic for their odds from now on. Maybe it's the potential playoff, but 50's looks huge for Portugal. The were a whisker away from the Euro 2012 final (which they wouldve won I imagine). Pity Youwin don't go e/w. Might still throw a token bet on it

UrbanSea · 09-09-2013 07:33PM

Ireland 3 down at half time here. Played well up to and after the first goal, second goal arguably the worst defending I've seen at the show grounds and that is saying something, gone to shreds since

A european team cant win in south america in the world cup.my beloved argentina will be carrying my usual wager.on paper they have an unbelievable wealth of talent and its in their back garden.brazil will be much improved from that cup tournament a couple of months ago, but i dont think they will improve enough to beat the super argies.
