    ....who tell us to put money on Thalhammer or Williamson or bloke X for next manager cos its nailed on and they're in the know. Do they ever come back on and apologise for potentially getting other fans to lose money?

    Personally I would never back anything based on a tip on here unless it felt likely/logical to me. And I could afford to lose the money.

    The thing is...anyone who ACTUALLY has inside info, before the event, shouldn't be posting it anyway.

    Interesting angle, choosing to criticise the people being lied to rather than the liars.

    We were one of the first to go for a black manager in Anderson (I think Torquay made their appointment a couple of days before us). Maybe we'll be the first to give a woman a chance in the men's game...

    Don't be stupid enough to bet in the first place. Apart from a handful of professional gamblers the vast majority of punters lose money no matter what they may claim. That's why bookies lay off bets from professionals because know their biggest earnings come from what they call mug money.

    To be fair Thalhammer had his photo taken in the dugout. If you'd told me that objective fact I'd have put as much money on as I could scrape together.
