NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ON

LAST NIGHT
Decentish night last night, did well on the Brum game,
probably the only person based in Newcastle who
enjoyed the result. We were on the ball with Fulham v
Leicester and if Cardiff had remembered where the back
of the net was we might have had some success there,
still nearly isn't it in betting. We'll try harder,
or nearly anyway. Well that on here is a thursday and
friday special for you all.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY'S BETTING
THURSDAY SCOTTISH FA CUP
19:45 Hibernian(2.1) Draw(3.27) Aberdeen(3.75)
I've been back and forwards this game more times then
a ping pong at a youth hostel, however I still come to
the same conclusion, that there is none. This is an
incredibly tough game to call, these two sides have
met three times this season and two have ended in draw
and the other Aberdeen won 2-1. The advantage lies
here with Hibs who are going in with the better form
and the home advantage, though this is reflected in
the prohibitive odds of 2.1. Aberdeen have been lucky
with late goals in their last two matches and with
injuries to a lot of key players, including captain
Russell Anderson and an important Scottish cup match
it is hard to get on them. Hibs though are too low
considering there is so little between these sides,
also the loss of top scorer Craig Killen is a big blow
and they struggled to convert a wealth of chances at
the weekend.
In the others market the handicap is highly
restrictive, the over/under to tough to call, there
has been a 2-2 and a 0-0 between these sides recently,
no players stand out in the anytime market, maybe
Sproule but his price is low as he isn't getting the
starts. None of the specials stand out wither. I
would take Hibs to come through, maybe after extra
time but not with any betting conviction and so this
is a no bet.

FRIDAY 19TH JANUARY
19:45 Tranmere(1.83) Draw(3.42) Bradford(4.5)
Not to sound repetitive and boring but to me this is
another no bet. No doubt Tranmere are the favours and
certainly so with a good home record and a win last
time out at Crewe, Bradford don't travel so well and
the loss of Dean Windass back to hull will be a huge
blow to their scoring threat. However Tranmere have a
very generous defence and a victory over the Jekyll
and Hyde Crewe is nothing to write home about, if
footballers could write. The other markets are less
than thrilling and less something s added tommorrow I
would stay clear of this one.

Coca-Cola League Two Matches
19:45 Shrewsbury(1.91) Draw(3.3) Rochdale(4.3)
This is very much like the Tranmere game in that the
value is on the home side but not enough. Shrewsbury
are nobodies mugs and are a difficult home side,
however there is little in the form table between them
and rochdale. Rochdale were poor in their one-nil
loss to Bristol Rovers last week, and are a very funny
side. They go on big win streaks and then massive
losing streaks. It is that makes them dangerous they
have some decent away wins. While Shrewsbury draw a
little too many for comfort. I would if pushed expect
the two games to be home results but you have to
consider the value. I like the look of the over 2.0
goals with Stan James at 2.0. Both these sides know
where the net is and also know how to concede, they
have a combined for tally of 21 and against 24, that's
35 in twelve matches, almost three goals per game.
Small stakes advised.
