Are They Insane...?




Last night was the big one blades at home to the owls for the steel city derby, and what drama it was. Unbelievably after peppering the pigs net for 40 mins they pop one in against the run of play and we go in at half time 0-1 down. Having been the better side in the 1st half I was looking forward to the 2nd but yet again against the run of play the pigs knocked one in and we were looking at a defecit of 2-0. However infront of a packed house of 31000+ Beattie's shot was knocked in off a clearence from their defender and we were back in with a sniff. 5 mins to go and Beattie lines up a free kick from 30 yards, with awesone technique ronaldo'esque and had it been him the pundits would have been talking about it for days, he pops it right in the top corner infront of the kop and the crowd went wild! The final whistle went and it finished 2-2 but we left feeling like we had won. Of course my scorecast was screwed as soon as the pigs scored first (united 2-0 Beattie)

Two numpty's on Radio Sheffield this morning were suggesting that we might have thrown the game so that the pigs could get a point.....Are they Insane???

It looks like too little too late though for the play-off's this year and leaves me wondering what could have been had we got rid of that useless twat Robson at the end of January!!!

Just a small word on the National and many thanks to Mr Townsend for his Comply or Die tip as it paid for all my other losing bets on the day! I also had a little e/w on Slim Pickings which nicely came in 4th only at 12's though; and had some e/w on Knowhere, which ironically came Nowhere!!!

Had a little punt yesterday in the 4.20 at sedgfield after a nod from one of the mates on 'Totally Scottish' at 12-1. It was running well until 4th from last where it left itself no room on the inside of the baby hurdles and collided and fell - DOH!

Week 8 in the WSOP team league at laddies this week and we are in decent shape at the halfway stage, lets hope we can make it count - come on 'the founder members'
