for the weekend and midweek games at one place
IT was another day of almost nothing to bet on but UEFA dominated the news with their belief can return in June with attempts to finish the domestic seasons.
The prediction seems widely optimistic but went down at the associations of nations such as England, Spain and Germany who face losing billions of pounds in TV revenue and sponsorship deals [...]
IF you're on a WhatsApp group, Twitter, Facebook or any kind of social you won't have been able to escape the Emoji quizzes that have been doing the rounds in the last week or two.
I've seen all sorts of quizzes covering a whole range of topics from Football Players to Oscar Winning Actors so I thought I'd give it [...]
IT'S days like Tuesday that tell me we should move from being football tipsters to quiz masters.
It was possibly the quietest 24 hours since lockdown but it's only a couple more days to Belarus action.
I might be wrong but I didn't see one tip on the site so luckily we have come up with another quiz.
This time [...]
Consider yourself something of a kit conniseur? Know your Macron from your Joma? Pay much attention to the details of home kits, away kits and even third kits?
Let's find out in my lastest ‘hardest ever' quiz. This time I'm challenging you to identify 20 kits from the 2019-20 season. Kits featured are from teams across the world so you [...]
DEPRESSINGLY there are dozens of matches listed on live score on Tuesday but only three remain on.
Those are friendlies at Slonim and Byytorps and a women's friendly at Gothenburg.
You know what that means – another day doing the gardening and walking the dug.
The upside – it's my 30th wedding anniversary and I can't take the missus out [...]
WE'RE into our second week in lockdown in the UK and already life is beginning to suck.
I can't really think of any other word for it while accepting we need to take the experts' advice to beat COVID-19.
Some people have been hit harder than others – folk have lost jobs and businesses and more importantly people dear to [...]
Over the weekend refs handed out cards like confetti – maybe because weddings have been cancelled.
Refs and booking points in Belarus are a marriage made in heaven with Sunday's two games producing six bookings each after 27 in four on Saturday.
It's worth looking out for [...]
SUPER Sundays ain't what they used to be these days. What I'd give for a hour-long build-up with Carragher, Neville and Souness ahead of a Burnley v Brighton match!
Instead I've curated my own Super Sunday of classic matches that I've managed to find on YouTube in their entirety. Some them I've never actually seen, others still reside somewhere in [...]
With nothing happening in the world the days roll into one and if it wasn't for my work rota I'd have no idea where I was.
Instead of going to a match I took the dog a big walk, got my elderly [...]
ITV have announced that they'll screen the Grand National next week despite the race not actually taking place.
A computer-simulated version of the 2020 race using CGI technology and special algorithms will be run, featuring the 40 horses most likely to take part.
We'll never know if Tiger Roll would've won the most famous race in the world in three [...]
I remember the glory days when I went to a Clydebank game, maybe had a pint after the match as the scores came in and ended the night by watching Match of the Day and maybe the late golf from the States.
Now my highlight could be [...]
THERE'S been a huge upturn in people playing the pools with virtually nothing else to bet on.
Over the past few weeks we've lost everything punting wise and even the matches I posted last weekend in Australia were postponed.
Racing was next to fall although the Irish carried on gamely for a bit longer.
I did the pools for the [...]
THE world of betting has been turned upside down in the last few weeks as one by one all major sporting events have fallen like dominoes. But that's not stopped the bookies finding creative ways to take our bets!
Horse racing hung on in there for a while before the final meetings, behind closed doors in Ireland, succumbed earlier in [...]
FOOTBALL is continuing in Belarus so that's good for punters but maybe not for the fans and players.
Games aren't even behind closed doors with the country’s president Aleksandr Lukashenko calling coronavirus a “psychosis” that can be cured by tractors.
If that's the case why are Ipswich not playing their League One games and clearing Suffolk of this disease?
Belarus [...]
Yesterday's quiz proved hugely popular, especially on social media, so due to ‘popular demand', I've created another for you to get stuck in to today.
Do you remember Sky Sports' advert from when the Premier League launched in 1992? I mean do you really remember the advert? How many of the 22 players that lined up for the collective ‘team' [...]
WELL done to all the winners … on the football badge quiz.
You know you're struggling when that's the highlight of your day.
I hope everyone's staying healthy and managing to fill their day somehow.
I've got lots more time on my hands than usual but helping to put a paper out and trying to keep the site alive gives [...]
With no sport to amuse ourselves, I've created a football badge quiz to keep us busy. Our Monday Night Quizzes were always popular so I'm hoping I can make these a regular feature while things are quiet on the football and racing front.
First off is the hardest football badge you'll ever attempt. If you manage to get 20/20 then [...]
THERE'S just no stopping this coronavirus – the Mynamar League and Irish racing being its latest victims.
Well done to Alan Thomson for his 20-1 treble on Tuesday while the Mynamar games flagged up by myself and Greg were called off after the country's first coronavirus cases were revealed.
It's a shame because I planned to head down the road [...]
WHO would have thought it would come to this – after no football, no bookies and no sport we have … well nothing.
Boris Johnson has put us in virtual lockdown and we'll need to stay indoors to keep ourselves and everyone safe from coronavirus.
It's tedious but just think how good it will be to watch your team with [...]
MY focus would have been on Perth on Monday and I'm not talking about St Johnstone.
I'd moved 9000 miles from McDiarmid Park to the west coast of Australia where officials' attempts to finish the season behind closed doors have been hampered by the introduction of new travel restrictions.
All eyes are on the A League with fans and punters [...]
