Was around Dublin city centre this evening, wearing 2 stickers on my jacket and carrying a yoga mat i.e. only short of sucking a dick. The amount of people wearing Yes badges and stickers was incredible and wonderful. Yoga place big signs up for Yes. Pass The Academy on Abbey Street and Vote Yes up on their digital board. Pass an overhead bridge in Fairview where Yes campaigners are waving big flags and cars beeping their support.
Guy stops me to ask where to get my Yes sticker as he desperately wanted one, gave him mine, hand shakes and smiles.
There is a great feeling out there I think, and I reckon we can be proud of ourselves on this one in Dublin, and hopefully country-wide. 70%+ in Dublin imo.

I missed the boat on the 69.5% completely so went overs for the turnout as everyone I knew was voting. Be it postal vote or returning home for the day they were all voting so overs seems silly not to bet.
Small bets then on - no donegal ne(went smallish in the end), no cyavan/monaghan(small), highest no % cyavan, highest yes % north city north.
If we are all being honest, betting makes politics and eurovision much more craic.

So we just had our last training session of the season. Fucking hard graft and intensity put in by everyone. Well up for the final on Sunday and if we do lose, it will be a hard fought victory for them. I won't be starting because I'm only back from an 18 month lay off since January but I hope to play a part at some stage.
Little write up here from some hack of a journalist. This piece is quite unbiased, unlike his snippet in the local paper where he wrote us off 6 weeks ago, and took another pop at us this week. H8ers gonna h8 h8 h8 h8 h8.
SPOILERDenny Division 1B League Final
Sunday 24th May 2015
Listowel Celtic B v CG Killarney
Kick off , 2.30pm
Venue , Mounthawk Park Tralee
By Tommy Naughton
The top two sides in Denny Division 1B Listowel Celtic B and CG Killarney meet on Sunday afternoon to see who will be crowned the League Champions.
Listowel Celtic B are top of the division by just two points after 16 games. Managed this season by John McGlynn and Tom Kelly they have won 12 league games drawn 1 and lost on only three occasions. Listowel Celtic have scored 44 goals in their 16 games while they have conceded 18 goals.
CG Killarney were previously know as Cedar Galaxy until this season are managed by Player Managers Ronan Walsh and Darragh o Regan. They are second in the league standings just two points behind Listowel Celtic but only play 15 games . In their league campaign they won ten games drew three and lost three times . CG Killarney scored 40 goals this league season while they conceded on 21 occasions.
Looking at the stats of the season their seems to be very little between the sides with Listowel Celtic finishing two points ahead of CG Killarney but CG Killarney played a game less. The goal difference has Listowel Celtic with a +28 while CG Killarney have a +19 . The two league meetings were very different this season with the first in Killarney which the home side won on a 3-0 score line. The second game saw Listowel Celtic take the honours by four goals to one. Last weekend the sides met in the Dominos Pizza Reserve Cup which Listowel Celtic won on a 4-0 score line.
Listowel Celtic will go into the game as slight favourites with the chance of them being able to call up a few strong players from their A squad which seemed to be the main difference in the league meeting in Listowel. CG Killarney will be missing a few players this weekend due to work commitments and some are away on holidays but they will be hoping their squad players can step up to the mark and turn in a good performance

Yea, I enjoyed the walk though. I'd be more enclined to not bother if peoples feels weren't on the line.
I've never voted in a general election, even though your vote has a higher chance of impacting.
May need some side bets to garner an interest in general politics. Does seem to be solid ents for those that are.

I think it's good that we've found something the youth give a fuck bout having their voice heard on, rather than people with stockholm syndrome and those with one foot in the grave making the place a backward kip.
Anyhow, the lack of actual tolerance and sense will be illustrated by the difference between the yes votes in both referendums's.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

I have passed the point where I pretend to give a shit about people rushing home to vote. Time to go into some isolation and avoid people for a while in order to not go insane.
I'll leave ye with this.
Go big or go homeless.

At least now it's 9 handed and you have time, plus if collects a bounty you make much more!! And he REALLY is bounty hunting.
Best of luck!
@pokerhand, so much play left in this tournament that it could and probably will go on for a few hours.Go big or go homeless.

Originally posted by Flushdraw View PostWas on his table for so much from the last 40 or so. He really is a fucktard. Hard when you're card dead and picking spots and he just spews his stack in! Really wish i had been anywhere on his left. Not much i can do about it now, just need to get the job done
Maybe I missed a few bad hands, or 'donkey' has changed as a concept.

Originally posted by ArmaniJeans View PostJaysus, I didn't think he was that bad from 40players down to final table. Seemed to be playing the 'half the prizepool is tied up in bounties' concept better than most. Picking off $500 + $1Ks here and there with minimal risk whilst everyone else was going up $50 an hour under the excruatingly slow Stars payout structure.

Originally posted by Raoul Duke III View PostCurrent market for next US president is here.
I am going to get involved on Scott Walker @ 10s or better and here is the why.
Hilary Clinton will not be the next President of the United States.- After a two-term president of one party, the electorate generally changes tack and elects in the other guys (Bush to Obama, Clinton to Bush, Eisenhower to Kennedy, Truman to Eisenhower). Reagan to Bush Snr is an outlier (but only after Jim Baker's dirty tricks team killed Dukakais - against Bush Snr's wishes and instincts).
- Her brand is toxic - people forget how divisive the Clintons are - a Hilary candidacy is a godsend to the GOP.
- She's not a winner. The only election she ever won was a safe Senate seat in NY and she managed to blow an almost-unlosable advantage against Obama in the '08 primary.
- She's a woman. I don't think America is ready for that.
- She's too old.
- Health issues.
- Bill. (although probably also her biggest asset)
- Dodgy record as Secretary of State with multiple freebie attack spots for the GOP (Benghazi, emailgate etc etc)
- She's too rich. Brand Clinton has been money-grubbing away since Bill departed the Oval Office.
Yet she will almost certainly be the Dem candidate and is currently trading around the evens mark - anyone taking this price should be carted off to Dundrum and locked in a padded cell for their own safety.
If the Republicans can put up literally anyone who can tie their own shoelaces against her, they will coast home in the electoral college.
So, who will the GOP pick? The current frontrunners are:- Jeb Bush
- Marco Rubio
- Scott Walker
and of the remaining putative candidates, there is not one that I can see being selected (unless the Tea Party lunatics take over the asylum). So forget them, they're only there for the lols.
I take Scott Walker to come out ahead of the other two chumps.
- The right combination of just-about-conservative-enough for the GOP and just-about-likeable-enough for the middle ground. He can energise the base (which Romney never did) while reaching out to the undecideds.
- Proven winner, 3 elections in 4 years in a purple state
- Excellent gubernatorial record - which has historically been a proven springboard to the White House (think Bush Jnr, Bill, Reagan, Carter)
- the right backstory
- the right age (Hilary will look ancient in comparison)
- the right religious background (mainstream enough, not too nutty)
- the right geography (Reps absolutely must scoop the midwest)
- doubt he has any skeletons rattling around in the cupboard, squeaky clean
- he really wants it imo
he's not a great speaker in the mould of an Obama but he pushes the right buttons - he'll be coached well
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
Get on before Jeb gets taken apart and it becomes a Rubio vs Walker primary. Rubio is a lightweight.
I plan to keep nibbling away at him while he's in double-digit prices with the aim of sitting on a pile of tasty vouchers after Super Tuesday. Get On. If nothing else, you will get an excellent sweat and given that he will romp it in Iowa, you can always trade out for a handy profit.
Have only seen a snippet of Jeb, he was asked if he would sanction the war in Iraq given the information we know now, and said yes. Didn't come across as very sharp, maybe he was on a bad day.X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.
