League One Betting Review - 2 April 2006
By:David Walker
Huddersfield Town stayed firmly in the hunt of a League One automatic-promotion place with a winner against local-rivals Barnsley. Gary Taylor-Fletcher scored the decisive goal 10 minutes into the second-half to keep the 10/11 Terriers on course.
Top-of-the-table Southend United were held to a 1-1 draw at struggling Bournemouth who moved four points clear of relegation. Fredy Eastwood, League One's player of the month for March, scored his 21st goal of the season after 20 minutes but James Hayter salvaged a 23/10 draw with eight minutes remaining.
Brentford remained in second-place after a 1-1 draw at play-off hopefuls Colchester United. Jay Tabb opened the scoring for Brentford after six minutes but top scorer Chris Iwulemo equalised on 31 to earn a 9/4 draw.
A controversial penalty from Luke Beckett's earned play-off contenders Oldham Athletic a valuable point at relegation-threatened Hartlepool United. The Monkey Hangers took the lead through Lee Bullock after nine minutes but Oldham were handed a lifeline when Bullock was judged to have handled in the box and Beckett scored from the spot on the stroke of half-time. Yet another draw, this time at odds of 11/5.
In-form Nottingham Forest made up ground on the play-off pack with a convincing 3-1 victory at Chesterfield. Ian Breckin gave 6/4 Forest the lead after 19 minutes and Nathan Tyson doubled the advantage on 29. Phil Picken pulled one back for the Spireites on 33 but John Thompson inflicted a fifth straight defeat on the home side three minutes from time.
Rotherham United also remain in the bottom four after crashing 3-1 at Doncaster Rovers. Neil Roberts and Sean Thornton put Rovers 2-0 ahead inside 10 minutes before Jonathan Forte pulled one back on 15. Lewis Guy kept 4/5 Doncaster’s slim play-off hopes alive with a third goal after 21 minutes.
Bottom club MK Dons gave opponents Gillingham a scare when Gary Smith converted a penalty five minutes before the break. However, two goals in as many minutes from Darren Byfield on 59 and Tommy Black on 61 ensured a 9/5 away victory.
Elsewhere, Dean Windass celebrated his 37th birthday and his first game back after a five-match ban with a hat-trick against mid-table Scunthorpe United. Windass opened the scoring after seven minutes for the 6/5 Bantams but fellow old-stager Peter Beagrie levelled from the penalty spot six minutes later. Richard Hinds put the Iron in front on 29 before Windass scored either side of a Mark Bridge-Wilkinson goal in the second half.

A psychic has some special powers that ordinary people don’t have. Some psychics are able to predict the future, others can communicate with the recently deceased. Some psychics are telepathic, others have the ability to exorcise ghosts.
The police use psychics to help solve crimes, preferably without the media getting to know! The newspapers would have a field day mocking the police investigator who had to resort to a “fortune teller”

- 2). Native Speakers? By : Brenda Townsend Hall
In a recent poll, I asked readers if they thought English language teachers should be native speakers. The result was interesting, as the vote from those with an opinion was close with 48% believing they should be native speakers and 41% saying no. I don’t know what you think about this but I’ve always had mixed feelings.
The first question I would raise with those who believe being a native speaker is an essential prerequisite for an English language teacher is, which nat...

- 3). Don't Hesitate To Cry A Tear By : Hallidae Thomason
Growing up, my siblings and I were never aloud to cry even just one tear. No matter how sad, mad or hurt we were, tears were never allowed. We were told that truly tough people didn't shed a tear no matter how bad life got. Tears, our parents said, were for wimps and people who weren't strong enough to handle life.
As I grew into my teenage years, I found it nearly impossible to make it through week after week without crying a single tear. Since I knew my parents would not...
