There are some Kevin Barry fans on here. There's a film out atm based on the characters in his short stories called Dark Lies the Island. Haven't seen it yet, but was googling the director of it and ended up realising there are 3 shorts written by Kevin Barry.

Am I the only one put my money where my mouth is? Before 2019 started I was expecting a half arsed campaign with one eye on the WC 2019. I think we will run them close , we could be peaking at just the right time.



Also FK you Zinzan Brooke (great player all the same).

you peaked last year. You've been woeful all year!

Doesn't mean you can't beat them though!!

Think that argument has a lot less merit after the Japan performance tbf. Looking decidedly more like mental fragility or disharmony in the ranks but be delighted if they could peak for tomorrow.

[careca]

NZ/eng/wales/s Africa accum 6 to 4. Not even a sweat involved.

[Denny Crane]

Germany <> 'cool'.

Adding Belize and Ethiopia

Uganda for its organised lawlessness, highest alcohol consumption on that continent too

[Goodluck2me]

Why don’t teams just ignore the Haka when NZ do it,like just carry on doing their warm up surely it isn’t against the rules?(sorry “laws”)
Should not be any place for that kind of cultural appropriation in modern sport

In fairness they have their own special brand of rugby bullshit “better people make better all blacks “ and “sweeping the shed”

Ireland
Bhutan
Botswana
Finland
Denmark
Ethiopia
Oman
Qatar
Jamacia
One of those LithuStonia places on the baltic but not sure which

I’d add Georgia, and to a lesser extent Montenegro.

Again, I know fuck all about rugby really but can't help feeling the certainty around England beating Australia is fertile ground for a 'surprise for the goys' moment

[Solksjaer!]

Not an argument. It's a belief.

Japan game can be explained . Complacency v passion . We win tomorrow we deserve huge kudos .

[Strewelpeter]

The games at Westminster tomorrow are going to overshadow the games in Japan.

The DUP is effectively a swing of 20 votes. Struggling to see how BoJo makes that up.

I think it might sneak through.
Arlene is not making enough noise to bother the conscience of the ERG, Trimble is onside and the only one making serious noise is Sammy and no one gives a fuck about Sammy
Most of the 21 expelled Tories will vote for it (getting anything less than 15 of them back in the fold is probably instant death for him and the deal).

The real game is how many Labour turkeys will vote for christmas. How many will he need... could be as few as 10 maybe as many as 25. That sounds doable.

[Strewelpeter]

Not to mention their tabloids

yep.
Schmitt leaving being pre-arranged, weight of no#1 ranking, zebo treatment, senior players on a farewall tour, lack of totem player etc.
They've been poor since the before the 6 nations.

[Strewelpeter]

Your pal Bertie reckons they'll abstain which would be huge.

Talking a while ago to people with a business here who send most of their output to England with the rest sold in Roi, most of their inputs are coming from UK too. They were looking at disaster in a no deal but interestingly had mentioned that in a best of both worlds scenario they would have to look at having their next generation factory across the border.

For loads of businesses like them this deal is going to make that kind of approach a no brainer over the next decade.
NI boom time coming IMO even that absolute plonker Raab was on the radio this morning going on about what a super deal it was for them to have access to the single market

[Lazare]

This seems to be win win for the DUP.

A no deal would have killed them electorally, this keeps the farmers happy and quiet. They can also shout ULSTER SHAYS NO to appease the hardliners.

I'd say there's secret talks with their ERG hangers on.

Anyone ever have an account restricted from Best Odds Guaranteed?

Backed a UK winner at 6s yesterday, returned at 7s. I queried it and have been told "a decision has been made by management to exclude your account from Best Odds Guaranteed".

I've had accounts restricted before but this is new. Betway.

[Lao Lao]

Prompting me to come up with a completely subjective list of pretty cool countries:



Costa Rica

NZ

Slovenia

Thailand

Sri Lanka

Iceland

Estonia

Canada

Denmark

Ireland



Discuss.

Without wanting to sound dramatic, the absence of Vietnam and Cambodia on this list would make me question your decision making ability on every level...

Yep, has happened me a few times, fairly common practice next step will be a limit and then finally account closure.

[Lao Lao]

On the rugby, as the week has gone on, I have managed to convince (read deluded) myself into believing that this has all being part of Joe's masterplan. He has many tricks up his sleeve and we will beat NZ tomorrow

I'd be fairly critical of most of these books(aside from b365) abilities to properly analyse customers.

Opened an account with one lot to back a horse at 7/2

Free bet matched to first bet up to €50, so bet €50

Horse goes off at 7/4 and falls out the arse of TV

Account restricted to price at the off by traders and free bet withdrawn

so France a -6 underdog has no chance in hell of beating Wales, but Ireland a -11 underdog is a done deal to beat the all blacks?

please take off those green tinted glasses of yours

can't wait for both at this stage!!!

[Raoul Duke III]

Pretty sure that's a dig Duke

He's been grumpy ever since he failed to defend his Cheltenham tipping comp crown.

[Solksjaer!]

I’ve never had my account restricted, sometimes when I haven’t had a bet in a while , they send a ham to my house and a little ‘are you well’ card.

Don't quite get what this means
Cummings still hoping to force no deal which has always been his only win

Parody Boris is the go to guy for the news

[DeadParrot]

whew!

Just off a week of jury duty
called twice, once jury filled before getting to me (8 week trial about 200 potential jurors called)
and another I had to alert I had a professional knowledge of.
A ridiculous set up, of course well meaning and conducted well but so much wasted time and resources

[Solksjaer!]

Gawd, so reminded me of my Jury service. Naturally I put myself forward for Jury boss. 1st session, one of the jurors handed me a note saying the questioning was repetitive etc. I just looked at him GTFO. Back in the Jury room I had to explain we are not there to actually question the witness ourselves or ref the barristers . He seemed confused. I quite enjoyed it. Stupid dickheads I the panel wouldn’t budge so we had to go to a retrial. A video of the bloke committing the offence wasn’t enough for these dunderheads.

Anyone interested in organising a morning/day drinking session Saturday week centered around the England/NZ/Ireland semi final, will there be any places open at 9am when it's on

There is a lot of banter in this sentence.

If I was home Id be in, like old time. Go piss Duke off at Jackpot, rock for brekky, watch the game. Go piss Duke off at the Jackpot, rock for brekky.

Slither home.

[Raoul Duke III]

Ha, as a 'goodwill gesture', they gave me BOG on the win part only. And confirmed that the restriction stands.

My money is clearly not good enough for them.

Jesus, that’s how bad the haka used to be?
That is to the current version what mark Francois war stories are to some WWI Tommy who cradled his mates guts while he breathed his last. Fuck me

[ArmaniJeans]

Jesus, that’s how bad the haka used to be?

Hell, no. It was well on its way to being polished up by that game in the late 80s.
The nadir is the early 70s haka, when a few of them were basically doing daddy dancing.

Australia 80% of the ball but stupid mistakes for two tries.

[Strewelpeter]

That was some speed!

Unbelievable. The fact he we t past him as well on the outside was crazy!

[Raoul Duke III]

Fuck!

[Raoul Duke III]

This is eerily similar to the Wales-Australia game

[Strewelpeter]

The 'slightly forward' pass is the new 'straight in' at the scrum

[Raoul Duke III]

If Australia could add a bit of smarts, they would be a great team.

For someone with Cheika's temperment, this job must be taking years off his life!

[Raoul Duke III]

I really like Toomua, he's electric. Hopefully he can do something here.

[Raoul Duke III]

Ref has to give England a card at some stage. Persistent penalties.
