It's worth using this point to illustrate the importance of knowing the team news before placing your bet. People have asked why my weekly preview of the games goes up so late in the week when the odds have often been available since Wednesday...and that is why. Sligo with Flash, Kudozovic and Hughes are an entirely different proposition than without that trio.

I suppose it's not that important if you are placing fun accumulators for small money - but anyone betting lumpy singles (the only way to make it pay in my opinion) should really have the team news straight. I can assure you most bookies pricing this game do not even know the three players mentioned, and this is where the specialist punter can get his edge.

Sligo will of course win 4-0 now and make an utter mockery of my point!

Yeah, all 3 are fit to play according to Aertel.

Gutted I missed this lads. It was mentioned to me but was too busy to get a bet on!

Had a good night on 0-0 in Belfield and Waterford, who I should've had more on as I said I'd have a decent bit at 11/8 but only had 1pt.

The drinks are on Sligoman no doubt. Must've been great at the game when Hughes scored so near the end!
