nutty nigel 7,585 Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks to ourplay-off campaign, and Gingerpele’s unlucky 5/6 in week 40, Rays Funds goesinto extra time. This week the top three in both the main league and theprofitability league are going to select six games to use up our free accumulatorwith Bill Hill. So we have Tilly,Chelle, Purple, Lapps, Mandie andYellowfuture will pick a result each to make up the accumulator. So nosuggestions are needed for the six matches. But we do needsuggestions for the 2nd leg of the play-off semi. I’m really pleasedto introduce the top poster known as Ray to select from your options. Raykindly agreed after I accosted him on the main board earlier this week. He’s aposter I really enjoy and I’ve noticed to be quite knowledgeable. Especiallywhen selecting teams for the forthcoming matches! I love it every time someonenew helps us because Rays Funds belongs to everyone on this message board, notjust us who have been doing this for years. So good luck this week Ray, all usPUPs are right behind you with our support. You have £6 to spend so you can choose up to six selections either from thePUPs suggestions or of your own. Anything you’re not sure of just ask andsomeone will help. And please enjoy the experience and come back to help us,hopefully next week, and definitely next season. Lastweek some more pledges and end of season donations come in. I am totallyhumbled by the generosity of you PUPs. As you see on Ray’s signature we nowhave £1163 for the season whichmeans £282 is already banked towardsour next presentation. Now I’ll hand this week’s thread over to our Six-Pack and Ray. Rememberthere’s no pressure because we are all going to be doing our best to help youto success. We all stand together with the single aim of raising money for theCommunity Sports Foundation. Good luck allyou PUPs... Take it away Tilly, Chelle, Purple, Lapps, Mandie, Yellowfuture andRay ... the thread is yours.......[:)].....

PurpleCanary 5,580 Posted May 13, 2015 I have a question, nutty, or for anyone else who knows. With the NCFC bet are the bets only valid, as I suspect, for the scheduled 90 minutes, or does extra-time count? So, for example, would "Hooper last goal" mean the last goal in normal time or would it count if he scored the winner in extra time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,585 Posted May 13, 2015 I''ve always understood its 90 mins unless specifically stated. 90 mins to include added on time but not extra time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray 111 Posted May 13, 2015 Hi Guys,Thanks for the intro Nutty and to all the rest of you for your warm welcome and good wishes.This obviously requires serious thought and as this weekend is really all about NCFC I am tempted for all 6 selections to centred around Saturday''s game, but not settled on that yet.My feeling is that Hoolahan will replace Redmond in the starting 11, so I will probably steer clear of Redders scoring, although he may well come on and score the winner of course.I also heard a rumour that E Benno almost came on at half time last week to replace Whitts, so may go for a long shot involving Benno??I hear the squad is very confident of a good result and I think if we can get a reasonably early goal the force will be with us and have a feeling we may score a goodly number, I''m thinking 4 - 0 (or 4 - 1).The Ipswich long ball game will not work as well at CR as it did in the away leg, especially as I think I''m correct in saying, they have shrunk their pitch to the minimum allowed, so a long ball really is a long ball, insomuch as it lands far closer to our goal than ''normal''.Assuming my predicted starting line up, onlly one outfield player is yet to score this season, Mr Seb Bassong, so could also be worth a punt??All other views and information welcome.Thanks.Ray Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,585 Posted May 14, 2015 Great post Ray and food for thought.Over the years I''ve been continually amazed by the coincidences that happen on Rays Funds. So there''s really only one suggestion for me this week:- Russell Martin to score anytime.Now Tilly - Did you want me to rename the team "The Five-Pack with Champagne Charlie"? ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diesel Doris 130 Posted May 14, 2015 Good Luck to our Super Six this week, no matter what happens we are all winners on this fantastic thread💛💚💛💚 Welcome Ray and good luck to you with the match bet. I''ll go for Sebastian Bassong to score last in a 2-1 win ( a stunning header from a corner in the 88th minute ) Hope all the PUPsters enjoy a wonderful, winning Saturday⚽️💛⚽️💚⚽️ x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedthewolf 4,865 Posted May 14, 2015 Good luck to our Prosecco PUPs (you will be upgraded to Champagne upon our successful qualification for Wembley on Saturday) – everything crossed that you can add to our phenomenal total for the season!And welcome aboard Ray, very impressed with your analysis. Something, however, urges me to offer a cautionary note – we are notoriously unreliable at home this season, and should (heaven forbid) we concede the first goal, that ugly direct style may leave us vulnerable to the counter-attack. Much as I''d love to agree with your optimistic analysis, I think this one will be a lot tighter – as such, Norwich to win on penalties at 10/1 looks like generous odds considering away goals are not a factor.Good luck all, including Alex Neil and his hardy warriors...

Ray 111 Posted May 14, 2015 Hi Guys,OK, having given this some further thought and having taken note that Nutty has twice mentioned RM scoring (and all other inputs of course) I am considering the following at the moment (nothing too safe on the basis if we’re going for it, let’s go for it).£1 on 1st Goal Scorer = SB @ 33:1 (hasn’t scored this season so is due one)£2 on RM to score at any time @ 9:2 (another screamer would do and Nutty’s nap)£1 on NCFC to win both halves @17:5 (fancy this is definitely on the cards)£1 on NCFC to win 4 – 1 @ 33:1 (as good a guess as any and pays well)£1 on A penalty to be awarded @ 3:1 (there always seems to be a penalty at these types of games?)Any thoughts guys?Ray Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jb 0 Posted May 15, 2015 My little boy says a 5-1 win, so i''ll pass that on as his/our suggestion- With johnson, bassong, jerome, jerome again and redmond to score (in that order) in front of a crowd of 26,894. Should be decent odds.OTBC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray 111 Posted May 15, 2015 jb,At a rough calculation that would pay approx 2.5m :1 before the crowd calculation, which I''m guessing would be appox 100:1, so make that about 1/4 Billion:1, happy days.If you can find someone to take the bet put 1p on and walk away with £2.5m.Your son and I are on a similar wavelength, I reckon 4-1, but would be happy for him to be right.Thanks for the input.Cheers.

Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,228 Posted May 15, 2015 Ciao Pupi,Given what we have seen so far, we can envisage Ipswich playing in a similar vein and hoping for ricochets, knock downs and errors. Norwich will endeavour to take control of the game from early and dominate in midfield his weight of possession and look for quality from Wes, or a good strike or moment of quality, which numerous others are capable of.To that end two possible scenarios stand out. A tight game with perhaps another 1-1 score line and Norwich to win on penalties or Norwich to achieve dominance, impose their style of play and win well scoring 3 or 4 with perhaps a single Ipswich reply.Quality to come to the fore.Parma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
