nutty nigel 7,531 Posted October 8, 2014 Welcome PUPs toweek ten of our Rays Funds season. This is international weekend and we arelucky enough to have top PUP Hissing Sid in charge and making the finalselections. Sid’s been with us from the very start and has always been one ofour top PUPs. Ian’s also become a friend as he’s one of the many PUPs who havegot to know each other through this message board and in particular thesethreads. He’s one of our diehard supporters who goes to all the matches and Ialways look out for him whenever I can get to away games or after home games.He’s a terrific bloke and I’m proud that he’s one of our great team of PUPs. Hissing Sid hasbeen the unluckiest PUP when it comes to winning the final six. Last year onthis very weekend Portugal managed to concede a last minute equaliser to Israelwhich scuppered us! I asked Ian if he would prefer a regular weekend but he washappy to take on the internationals again. So let’s all help him lay the ghostsand get his name on Ray’s signature with our very best selection from the gamesplayed on Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend listed on the William Hill or Bet365 website. Of course there’s no requirement to choose internationals. There’s lowerleague action in the UK and beyond. There’s nomatch bet this weekend so I’ll hand this week’s thread over to Hissing Sid.Remember there’s no pressure because we are all going to be doing our best tohelp you to success. We all stand together with the single aim of raising moneyfor the Community Sports Foundation. Good luck allyou PUPs... Take it away Ian ... the thread is yours.......[:)]..... As always Ileave you with Ray’s signature which now reads :- Carve theirnames with pride.Yankee,5,Fellas,3,P''boro,2,Mr Chops,2,NewYork,2, Inch High,3,Blahblahblah, NCFC_Shaun, 1st Wazzock,3, Fonejacker,3, Norfolkbroadslim,2,Norfolkchance1,2, Scooby,3, Trent Canary,2, Cosmic Twin,2, Graham Humphrey,Leedscanary,2, NcfcStar, Herman, Delia’s Devonshire Dirtbox, Lappinitup,Statto, Mandie Moo, Mr Bump, Kathy, Til1010, Snake-eyes, Vindo,2, NWC, Hughesy.Gregt, GMF, Swindon Canary, yes Norfolkchance1 £2038 for the Academy, and £492for the Community Sports Foundation.

Hissing Sid 154 Posted October 8, 2014 Evening PUPs. Here we go again then. Thanks Nutty for the very kind intro. This season though "top PUP" may be a bit generous, I''ve had a nightmare so far. So time to lay that to rest.I have no strategy as such. Each and every pick will be considered equally and hopefully we can put 6 together to bring in the dough (avoiding last minute equalisers from the likes of Israel!!!).So, boys and girls...hit me with your picks. Lets go... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,531 Posted October 9, 2014 I need to get back on tou our league table but much more importantly we need to get a win and Sid''s name on Ray''s signature. So, ridiculously short odds I know, but having got back to winning ways with an away win in Spain last weekend, I''m selecting Spain to win in Luxembourg on Sunday.

PurpleCanary 5,557 Posted October 10, 2014 The Westfalen section of the German Oberliga.Rot Weiss Ahlen to win at home against Gutersloh.Top versus one from bottom. Rot Weiss Ahlen, with a 4-0-0 and 13/3 home record, have won their last seven games. Gutersloh, with a 0-2-2 and 3/11 away record, have lost their last three. As a form guide, in their penultimate game they lost 6-0 away to the team in second place below Rot Weiss Ahlen. The current odds are a respectable 2/9.Good luck to all!
