So I really can see a comfortable 3-0, 3-1 or 4-1 victory to Spain. 8)

Either that or a boring stalemate won by one goal or on pens. :oops: :banghead: :roll: :lol: :lol: :wink:
Rossie is not the only one that got it right - sort of. 8) :lol: :wink:

I might be a bit biased :wink: , but i think the +5 handicap for Roscommon at 13/5 is a great bet on Sunday in the Gaelic Football. Odds from Paddy Power.

Dont know odds but would be high.

A good bet.
After just 9 pro fights George has grown the interest of golden boy promotions in the states and fight his us debut on saturday...

I can't find much this weekend apart from a speculative bet on this:

P'boro, Swindon & Chesterfield to score 2 or more goals each. Treble pays just over 8/1 :-P (prices with Paddy Power)

Going to do a double on Rip Van Winkle and Starspangledbanner, pays about 7/2, also with Paddy Power

Jaysus, I'd stop a bloody train! Not only was this as far out as a lighthouse but I also backed Clare U-18s when they were 4 points up, no sooner had I the button pressed when BANG, Kilkenny goal :banghead:
