Phew... Last Minute Winner

A standard Wednesday evening can be turned into something quite exciting when there's money riding on a football result. Tonight was a little too exciting for me!

Linfield trailed Limavady by 2 goals at half-time. After 88 minutes, they had recovered the situation somewhat as the score stood at 2-2. Then up pops Glenn Ferguson to score the winner (and move my Paddy Power Pot closer to the £200 mark). Linfield have now gone to the top of the Irish Premier League.

As for the predictions that I avoided - both Chelsea and Manchester United won comfortably. Olympiakos, however, only managed to win their cup match after extra-time - or at least, it would seem so according to the result on http://www.livescore.com/! (To be honest, I wouldn't have recommended them had I known they were playing a cup match as cup matches this late in the season can go horribly wrong).

I obviously need to brush up on my Greek football and so it was a pleasant surprise to receive an email this morning from "Yan" offering to educate me on Greek football. Yan... I look forward to hearing what you have to say on the subject.
