Are Portadown still in training

**Ceirtlis** · 11/05/2005, 12:21 AM

Does anyone know if Portadown are still in training in the run up to their setanta cup match with Cork City? I was looking at the odds for cork city to win the thing and they were 9/2 which i think is a pretty good price if they are to play a shadow side at home in the last game. Their odds will probably be about 4/6 to win the game meaning their odds for a -1 victory around 6/4. Putting a bet at the outright price means you will be able to make it a safe bet should they get through because they will be favourites to beat either linfield or glentoran.

Ceirtlis, I know as much about betting as I do about astrophysics, but that bit about a safe bet kinda caught my eye.
Could you please explain again -- as if to a seven-year-old -- how that works again?

Yes they are. I believe Pat Fenlon will be in charge of the training sessions all this week

I remember seeing Hamilton playing a good few times when he was with Blackburn Rovers the same time as Robbie Doyle, he was absolutey class ! had everything but he was to fond of the drink and enjoyed a smoke as well. Still a useful player, wonder will an eL clubs try bring him in on loan when the window opens up?

on that point, a lot of northern teams take players up on loan during our off season, any chance we might start to do the same ?

Doesn't that lead to problems with players not getting enough time to fully rest. Well i suppose if the player in question is out on the p!ss all the time it shouldn't really matter !!
