Even a winner for me.

I was impressed



Think I will go for a small Barrow/Oldham double in 80 mins today (VC pay about 5/2)

It's asking a lot for Halifax to turn round their thrashing against Barrow the other week and I just think Oldham are getting better and better as the play offs go on and missing a week might just have taken the gloss off Keighley a bit. Guess that could apply too to Barrow but they have a psychological advantage that does not really apply in the other Final.

Oldham for me ... improving in leaps and bounds after the mid-season upheaval. TBH they deserve to make it third time lucky too.

Have Ladbrokes gone out of business???

I have 2 telephone numbers for them and neither are being answered, they ring and then appear to dis-connect.

Sea The Stars absolutely superb, the greatest racehorse I've seen in my lifetime and surely now up there with the all time greats.

Been saying to a mate all week I fancied Youmzain e/w aswell, gutted I didn't have the forecast..

Made mugs of both of us. Should have had a decent half-time lead off the back of a one-sided penalty count but didn't and only played anything like in the second half once the game had just about gone.

Gutting as it went to plan early with Oldham looking the better side but just could not get early tries after all that possession.

Second half Cougars started as though they had shaken off their ring rustiness and it was game over. Oldham got me a bit excited at the end but too little too late...if only they had started how they finished....GUTTED

I do not think that is their main objective to be honest but would not be surprised if in stopping teletext they are looking to cut down on bets by phone and make some of their operators redundant.

Probably just a few technical problems or they did not want anyone else backing Sea The Starts lol
