Just noticed from Bandage’s post that ICT have come in to 15/8 from 21/10. There’s a bit of money going on them with most bookies.
Australia -13 are 5/6. Still available in running. Worth a punt.
Due to an early start on the drinking last night (5pm) and a “slept it out” situation this morning I was only able to get ICT at 7/4.
Werder Bremen won 3-1.
Villa are winning 1-0 but the SPL is the worry at the moment.
ICT are 2-2 at Kilmarnock and Dundee United v Motherwell is scoreless.
United are one up but still 2-2 all in ICT match.
Werder Bremen, Dundee United and Aston Villa returned for me. ICT only drew but a win for Valencia tonight would still give me a healthy profit.
Auxilliary bet:
15eur returns 113.
Cercle Brugge v St Truiden
Cercle Brugge @ 4 - 7
Athlone Town v Dundalk
Dundalk @ 10 - 11
Inter Milan v Napoli
Inter Milan @ 2 - 7
Cobh Ramblers v Kildare County
Cobh Ramblers @ 4 - 9
Sporting Lisbon v Vit Guimaraes
Sporting Lisbon @ 4 - 11
That’s some gamble by sledgehammer on the other thread.
I’ve just seen the Killie goals against ICT and the ICT keeper absolutely gifted them two goals. There was no legislating for that at the bookies.

Let’s look on the bright side.
It’ll mean Caley Thistle’s odds will be nice and high again next week and we know they’re still playing well.
Plus I already had other results let me down so I don’t care as much as you. 
NZ minus fourteen at 4/5 is great value against France. Didn’t back it as I hope France win.
It’s minus 20 at 5/6 at half time and that’s still excellent value. France are out of their depth and look bereft of ideas.
13-13 after 55 minutes. France have come out with all guns blazing. Carter gone off injured - could there be a repeat of 1999?

Looking very good for you. 4 home and dry with Sporting Club leading with 20 minutes to go.

I know.
Nervously following the last game on a useful site for checking world football latest scores:
http://dreamshares.com/football/scores.html#bPortugalbSuperliga
I’ve been fooked over by late goals a lot lately so not getting ahead of myself.
EDIT:
Sporting just gone 2-0 up after 72 minutes.
It should be in the bag.
Sporting won 3-0 so that was a tidy little earner. I’m considering what to do tomorrow now.
Valencia are 2-1 down to Espanyol at home after being 1-0 up. Luis Garcia (not the ex-Liverpool one) just got their second on 80 minutes. There’s 86 minutes gone now. David Villa has been substituted with an ankle ligament injury.
Today’s accumulator:
15 eur returns 106 eur.
Heerenveen v Heracles
Heerenveen @ 1 - 2
Liverpool v Tottenham
Liverpool @ 8 - 15
Aberdeen v St Mirren
Aberdeen @ 4 - 7
Athletic Bilbao v Almeria
Athletic Bilbao @ 20 - 21
I steered clear of Celtic at 2/9 at Gretna for the purposes of the accumulator but I’m doing a few separate bets on this one.
Celtic -2 goals are 13/8 and Celtic are also 6/4 to win both halves. I possibly should diversify given both bets are somewhat similar and if Gretna produce a shock then the two of them will likely be fooked. But I expect Celtic to hammer them so I might just reinvest yesterday’s winnings on both these bets.
I’ve gone for that bet Bandage but swapped Man City in for Liverpool because I’m wary of Spurs.
I stuck the rest of my limited funds on Argentina -13 against Scotland. It’s win or bust for me.
good call Larry
looking forward to the arc- soldier of vortune will be my lay of the day

I gave back yesterday’s winnings today. 
Heerenveen won 9-0! Aberdeen won 4-0 but the other two drew. Those Celtic bets let me down but the manner of the win and the ‘get it right fooking up you’ value to all the huns who were watching it makes up for it.
Arsenal won 3-2 to bring in the massive gamble for sledgehammer. The fook.
