THE top three in the Irish league face the bottom three tonight with a treble paying a biggest just under 2-1 at William Hill.

It’s not great odds but probably worth taking on. Unbeaten leaders Sligo, who have raced into an eight-point lead at the top after nine wins in their first 12 games, travel to third bottom UCD[...]

THERE were 27 winning tips put up at the weekend – and incredibly 16 of them were in the Scottish Cup Final.

Ten people – Lim Kok Lua, Sam Watson, Fin H, Darren Pluck, Justin Lo, John Henderson, StuMac, Andy Greenan, Anton Traquair and Tam Carrie all went for Hearts at 5-4 to win in 90 minutes.

The ATP1000 Rome Masters ends at Foro Italia on Monday with a mouthwatering clash between world No.1 Novak Djokovic and world No.3 Rafael Nadal in the men’s final.

Both players came through their semi-finals in straight sets on Saturday – Serbian Djokovic beating Roger Federer of Switzerland a few hours after Mallorcan Nadal accounted for fellow Spaniard David Ferrer.[...]

I’VE replaced the Saturday games I put and kept the rest of the Sunday selections in there.

Some of you may prefer to stick to the Saturday games, maybe doing some singles, doubles or trebles on the finals.If so use the tips as a reference and I’ll put exclusively Sunday games up tonight or tomorrow morning.

WHAT a day it is for Montpellier as they try to clinch the French title ahead of PSG.

The sides are separated by three points with an identical goal difference so Montpellier just need a point.

However, away to an Auxerre side who have already been relegated I expect them to pick up all three. They are[...]

I PUT up this line in the Daily Record yesterday so have now replaced Blackpool v West Ham with Aalesund v Brann.

The Championship play-off final obviously came up so anyone who backed it at the start has one of one so far.

Norwegian side Aalesund have brought up the btts in the last six matches and six of[...]

RESIDENT MMA expert Marshall Art tips his prize double for tonight’s Showcase event from the Shark Tank in San Jose, which kicks-off at 3am in the UK.

Our main event is the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix Final and, after all the troubles that tournament has been through, both Strikeforce and the fighters will be glad to see it end.[...]

ASIDE from the three big finals there’s nothing much on today so the top tips are a mixture of Saturday and Sunday games.

Some of you may prefer to stick to the Saturday games, maybe doing some singles, doubles or trebles on the finals.If so use the tips as a reference and I’ll put exclusively Sunday games up tonight[...]

The semi-finals at the ATP1000 Rome Masters take place today and my tip to land a sixth title at Foro Italico Rafael Nadal is looking as strong as ever.

He dumped Czech Tomas Berdych in straight sets to set up a clash with fellow Spaniard David Ferrer.

World No.3 Nadal leads Ferrer 14-4 in their previous meetings and therefore[...]

LAST week we gave away 5 more £20 free bets at Skybet in my Golden Goal competition. This week it could be you!

The competition takes a different form again this week and will give you an interest in the Scottish Cup Final.

West Ham v Blackpool, Wembley, 3pm, live Sky

IT’S not the biggest game of the day but it’s certainly the richest.

They say there is as much as £90million at stake for the winners of the Championship play-off final so you can see how important it is.

So there are bound to be nerves at Wembley and it could[...]

WE are down to the last eight in the Rome Masters but the name of Andy Murray is absent from the quarter-final draw.

The British No.1 suffered a shock three-set defeat at Foro Italico to Richard Gasquet and the Frenchman’s reward is a meeting with Spaniard David Ferrer.

World No.6 Ferrer (2-9, Paddy Power) leads Gasquet 6-1 in previous meetings[...]

I WONDER how many neutrals support Cheltenham just because the name is so synonomous with racing.

I’m big fan of Cheltenham (the Festival) but have never really got into Cheltenham (the football team).

However, they are on the verge of a Wembley appearance after beating Torquay 2-0 in the first leg[...]

LOOKS like I’m the play-off man this week as Mr Fixit concentrates on teeing off.

I know it’s the end of the season but he’s taking more holidays than the Queen – and he’s paying me less than her corgis get.

But I’ve got a cunning plan. I’m going to learn to dance then dress like a dog[...]

RAFAEL NADAL, the player I’m backing for the Rome Masters, begins his quest for a sixth title today and should have few problems seeing off German Florian Mayer.

The Mallorcan, who slipped to world No.3 at the weekend, is a best-priced 1-40 with Boylesports. Mayer, ranked 28, beat Nadal in their only previous meeting last year, on hard courts.[...]

PAUL LAMBERT is the even-money favourite to replace Alex McLeish at Aston Villa according to Ladbrokes.

The Norwich boss saw his odds slashed from 8-1 to 2-1 in a matter of hours once McLeish had been dismissed – and a run of money since has forced his price down to 1-1.

Mick McCarthy is also a massive market[...]
