When your luck is in, it is in, got an online account and accidentaly clicked for Sevco to win instead of team below them put on £20 at odds of 11/4 so got my £20 back plus £55, also took both team to score in El Clasico and Ronaldo to score those bets up also, waiting on Messi and a penalty in game for an even bigger windfall.

22 Mar 2015 21:25:44
Talkin of the Classico! Sittin here watch this! It's actually embarrassing the amount of diving and blatant cheating in this game! All top class players but it really is pathetic to see! Grown men throwin there selfs about a pitch tryin to get players sent off! Embarrassing!

22 Mar 2015 21:34:41
Exactly my thoughts wiss, love watching barca. Had the pleasure of seeing them play in the nou camp last month but this carry on from both sides is an embarrassment

22 Mar 2015 21:38:43
Tim you've stated earlier that you bet messi Neymar or Suarez to score every game and you get 16/1. I never bother touching them as usually they are 1/2 to score anytime what is the bet you do everytime to get 16.s. Just completely missing what your saying I think mate. Cheers

22 Mar 2015 21:58:57
It's without doubt the biggest game in the world! Just leaves a bit of a bad taste to see the cheating and rolling about! Reminds me of the uefa cup final against mourinhos cheatin mob! No need for it at all! These guys are the greatest players on the planet and there's no need for it! On a side note, think bales really strugglin! Shame to see a player of that quality lookin so low on confidence! Scored a couple last week but looks nuthin like the player of last season!

22 Mar 2015 22:19:30
Garybhoy you only get 16/1 if ALL 3 score (came up a couple of times not tonight though) but I always take them individually to score also, there is usualy a penalty in most Barcs games so I lump on that also, someone mentioned the diving another bet of mine in these game is number of players booked, the more they dive the higher the booking count lol

23 Mar 2015 07:33:01
I had Celtic 3-0 GMS last goal @ 50/1 pure gutted but happy the hoops won.

WANTED- One Backbone please send to Mr Andrew Murray, Dunblane, Scotland

22 Mar 2015 11:08:40
That's a bit strange Mr Timalloy. What's mr Murray done to upset you.

22 Mar 2015 13:18:53
Have I missed something Tim??
What's Andy iam British when I win something and Scottish when I don't Murray done.

22 Mar 2015 13:47:21
Garybhoy and Dabhoy both Mrs T and the girls are big Murray fans, but I feel he is a cry baby every time he meets someone better than him ie Djokovic, Nadal, Federer he lacks the bottle and mental strength to even give them a contest but always blames someone or something else, "court is too bouncy" "too grassy" "too windy" "too hot" opponents coughing etc no he is a big LASSIE in my eyes.

22 Mar 2015 15:33:10
Mr . Timalloy (British ) and Scottish family, no family should fall out over any professional sportsperson, you will fine the sportsperson will put themselves first .

22 Mar 2015 15:42:56
Gies peace tim!! Everybody was his biggest fan when he won the Wimbledon and the Olympics! The guys had his fair share of injuries and he's tryin to work his way back! The guys got 3 of the greatest players to ever play the game to contend with! Djokovic nadal and federer will go down in history as arguably the 3 greatest players of all time! Let's just enjoy the fact Andy is out there competing and winning these tournaments! Yes he's not at the top of his game just now! But I think we take what he's done in the game so far for granted! 2 time grand slam champ and Olympic champ! And multiple masters titles! How many scottish sportsman can say that!

22 Mar 2015 15:56:55
Totally agree wi u Tim. I mite b biased tho, as tennis is sh***.
A sport for rich people played by girls. Lol

{Ed007's Note - (clap) And don't get me started on Mrs Murray, it creeps me out the way they behave for a mother and son. (music) Now I ain't sayin' she's a gold digger....(music)

22 Mar 2015 16:13:34
Surely this is a timalloy wind up? Lol

22 Mar 2015 16:23:25
Spot on wizz67 could not agree more and well said .

22 Mar 2015 16:58:00
Murray's form dipped after his injury but he has regained it. However, since he binned Lendl because he could not commit to more coaching time he has lost his concentration in matches. As soon as things don't go his way he let's it get to him and can't seem to regain his focus.

Not sure how he deals with this flaw in his makeup, perhaps he needs to hire a hypnotist or sports psychologist to help him overcome this weakness. Unless he does this he is going to struggle to beat any of the top 3.

There is no doubt he has the talent to compete with Nadal, Djokovic and Federer but he just has to learn how to keep his focus.

22 Mar 2015 23:05:41
How many truly world class sportsmen do we have from Scotland? very few yet we choose to criticise the ones we have. If the footballers in this country had half the dedication he has then our game wudnt be so bad.

{Ed007's Note - What's his nationality got to do with anything? You don't need to like someone just because they're Scottish.}

23 Mar 2015 13:23:06
You can also like someone and criticise them as well. I would love it if Murray could recapture his winning formula but as I said above, I don't see it happening until he addresses his loss of focus during matches. He needs to be able to block things out or find a way to refocus quickly when he let's something get to him.

{Ed007's Note - How terribly bloody awfully unpatriotic of you old bean!}

23 Mar 2015 14:27:16
I never said you had to like him ed, we should be happy we got a world class sportsman they don't come along too often. Give the guy a break as someone said earlier he up against the 3 best of all time and he holding his own. he left home at 14 to go to spain to make sure he got the best coaching so he could be a top player, don't see too many footballers from here doing that.

{Ed007's Note - I've never liked tennis or anything to do with it and I'm not going to start liking it just because some semi-Scottish middle class to$$er fluked it to win a couple of tournaments. So why should I be happy about that exactly? Oh that's right, he's Scottish - now where's that kilt and C U Jimmy hat I had..... (puke)

23 Mar 2015 15:04:59
a bit harsh ed . You don't have to like tennis to respect what the guy has done. So we shudnt support our own then? what's his background got to do with anything, you can never fluke a win ed . you in a bad mood because your team got gubbed last night lol.

{Ed007's Note - What's his background got to do with it? How the hell can you like or dislike someone that you don't know anything about? His background made sure he was given chances that other kids never get, how many kids do you know play tennis? How do you know some wee toerag for Easterhouse wouldn't have been as good as Nadal but was never given the chances Murray was?
It's probably why Murray flops most of the time, he's that used to getting everything handed to him he doesn't have that real desire or heart for a fight and throws childish temper tantrums when he doesn't get his own way, like the spoilt brat he's always been. Then when he fails the public fall into that good old Scottish trait of celebrating a defeat.
I was being nice about him fluking wins, wasn't there talk that Murray's Wimbledon win was fixed for political reasons and to boost the general good-feeling in the UK?
I've just checked the Bolton score there, you must be delighted your team didn't lose again.}

23 Mar 2015 18:15:30
To$$er? Fluked it? Now its a conspiracy he won it . Think Federer would disagree.Good point scorin though with the Bolton remark though lol. I used to know many kids that played ed as I used to play myself and I come from that middle class quaint little village called Hillhouse lol.

{Ed007's Note - Aye OK, and I used to play polo down the Fairhill Park on a Sunday. Any time recently I've seen his greeting face it's because he's been pumped AGAIN and he's hardly made a habit of winning so it's obviously a fluke when he does. If he was English you'd be laughing at him for choking so many times.}

23 Mar 2015 21:11:15
We know Andy or is it Andrew loves his mother Mrs Murray.
He has honoured the next Mrs Murray by calling a dog after her . I wonder where the next Mrs Murray will come in the marriage .
She won't really worry he has balls of money and gets new balls every time he plays .

23 Mar 2015 23:18:43
Why wudnt I support him if he was English? Of course I wud. Just like I supported all the athletes in the Olympics. Your very bitter about him for someone who doesn't care about tennis. I hope you never hurt your head too many times fallin off that polo horse of yours lol.

{Ed007's Note - Oh who's a nice wee patriot, I bet you were cheering on Rangers in Manchester as well. He's one of the main reasons I don't like tennis, I can't stand any pretentious, sanctimonious middle-class to$$ers who have had everything handed to them on a plate, Murray would probably be a Tory MP if he wasn't a tennis player. Oh and it's not bitterness, it's downright hatred and disgust for him and people like him, I'm can decide for myself who to like without needing to justify it, especially when they only thing you seem to have is that I'm unfortunate enough to share the same country of birth with someone.
Like I've said, I'm picky about the people I lend my support to and far too intelligent to think that just because someone's Scottish I need to support them or even feel some sense of nationalistic pride in them. You remind me of those Scottish people who were celebrating Ireland winning the rugby, daft wee lassies that have zero interest in rugby but as soon as Ireland are playing they're suddenly experts, do you just blindly support anything they stick a Saltire or UJ on?
Are you in the Tartan Army, you seem the type.}

24 Mar 2015 15:14:16
Seems I would get more sense out of your horse ed. by the way does it talk? I showin my age now lol.

{Ed007's Note - Of course...}

24 Mar 2015 16:22:56
Murray would probably be a Tory MP if he wasn't a tennis player, haha that's a belter ed.

You clearly dislike him and this page isn't really for discussing tennis but personally I am a big fan. Nothing wrong with not liking him though, but I would disagree with most of what you said there. Saying that I am just a middle class to$$er who enjoys my fair share of tennis so we are likely to disagree on such matters.

{Ed007's Note - I take it from your name you're from Edinburgh so you've got an excuse, you all come prepacked pretentious and can't help it. :=P

24 Mar 2015 22:36:10
It's very unlikely that Murray would be a Tory MP representing a Scottish Constiuency.
