Bad beat/Moaning/Venting thread - Mammy told me not to come.

[premierstone]

In for Comp 3 if it goes ahead

[Strewelpeter]

Intensity of this game is ferocious

Uncomfortably so.
Leinster starting to get to the pace of the game now.

You just know racing can't carry on like this, whereas Leinster can go all day

[luckforsome]

...How is that not a yellow?...

[dobby]

...How is that not a yellow?...

2nd or 3rd time too. Soon as he did it he turned round like a child that was caught being bold. Knows he's lucky

[Dice75]

Stick me in the 3rd.

Seem to have found the only place on the planet with no Irish bar to watch the rugby

[Strewelpeter]

Racing still trading over 5/1

[shrapnel]

Credit to racing though, missing 5 of their starters, especially the out halves

[Strewelpeter]

Ryan deserves this

[Flushdraw]

In for Eurovision sweep if there's still spots. Don't even know how much or whatever, but sign me up and will check back

[shrapnel]

Ryan deserves this

Donnacha

[Strewelpeter]

Tick Tock, get posession from the kick off and play down the clock

[Strewelpeter]

Phew!

Game 3.

1. Hitch.
2. Oleras.
3. KevIRL
4. Premierstone
5. Dice75.
6. Flushdraw.
7.
8.

Two spots if anyone else wants to jump in, but 6 is fine anyway, will let it go to 19.15 to give people a chance to recover from the rugby.

Open to suggestions on format, or will just go with previous 'worst score' system if can't think of anything.

Go on then.

[Hooch]

Will take the last spot in the eurovision competition if still available

[oleras]

Worst combined score would be my preference.

Cheers AJ, im off to work, will keep an eye on the updates.

[V for Vendetta]

Champions find a way. Loving the focus for Munster in the player interviews. This team wants it all. Racing played very well and were definitely the 2nd best team in Europe. More to come from Leinster in the next few years.

5. Dice75.
6. Flushdraw.
7. 5starpool.
8. Hooch.

And that's eight, and closed.
Draw by around 7.30 hopefully.

Worst combined score would be my preference.

It's decided, after a democratic process that jack would be proud of the votes have been counted and verified, and its the familiar 'worst 2 scores lowest total' system we'll go with.

[Trippie]

With all this rugby talk, went and bought tix for next years final in Newcastle. Great deal tbh, same seat for the 2 finals on Friday and Saturday for £85.

Talk about forward planning

IPB Dinner club / Rugby meet up? This place looks pretentious enough for us

[KevIRL]

Ireland 9/1 to win the telly vot worth a shout?

[ArmaniJeans]

Draw 3.
Back to the 'add your lowest two scores, the lowest such total scoops the pot' system for this one.

On a rugby and beer weekend, that place would not be appreciated to its proper value...

But definitely up for a meet up. I'll be heading up with a couple of lads from tallaght who I work with, and the above would be lost on them

Might look up a good lunch spot for the Saturday.

[ArmaniJeans]

Draw 1
Add your two lowest scores together, the lowest overall total wins.

Draw 2
Add your two lowest scores together, the highest overall total wins.

Draw 3.
Add your two lowest scores together, the lowest overall total wins.

...Potential copyright infringement going on with the tables there AJ, but I'll let it slide...Also, the removal of my "..." is a controversial one...

[DeadParrot]

So, IPB Eurovision 2018 Sweep - Lets Rise like a Phoenix.
26 countries participating, going to strike out the Top 2 in the betting - Cyprus and Israel. Leaves 24.

Need 8 players @ €25. Honour based system, no escrow, so only known good eggs need apply.

You will get 3 countries each in a random draw (moderate seeding to prevent anyone getting three 100/1 shots) overseen by me.
Scoring system - your two lowest scoring countries count, add them together and the lowest overall total scoops the whole pot.
Open to all but much more fun if you will be watching and drunkenly posting as it happens.

And remember - We've Got the World Tonight.

Its the most wonderful time of the year!
In

[DeadParrot]

Ahhh bollox

...Potential copyright infringement going on with the tables there AJ, but I'll let it slide...Also, the removal of my "..." is a controversial one...

Ha, got me.

I double checked yours for accuracy, then removed all the ellipses from your post.
However eagle-eyed people may spot in balfejohns quote that I managed to make a mess of transposing draw 3 from columns to rows and had Moldova down twice against Oleras.

[DeadParrot]

Ahhh bollox

Who would have thought a gay wedding would cause me to miss this

[dobby]

Ahhh bollox

Lol. Not even remotely close to being in

[Lao Lao]

Only just seeing this now, very well done

[DeadParrot]

Lol. Not even remotely close to being in

Its like Brazil not being in the world cup

[Lao Lao]

I give up trying to fix that post, how do you embed a tweet?

Great start

Gotta love the Eurovision

[Dice75]

You can take mine if you want. Prob wont get to see the voting as an hour ahead on hols with the kids. 2 x 100/1 shots so not dead.

Nothing like a good lord of the night to kick us off.

Anthem!!

Has the bbv ever seen 3 vampires posts in the same minutes?

100/1 shot, no chance I'm afraid

[Lao Lao]

This lad is punching well above his weight

[DeadParrot]

Have backed Holland, Ireland tele voting, and an assortment of batshit entries

[balfejohn]

On Italy all the way

[balfejohn]

Good start by Spain
Brutal song but lovely love story

[Lao Lao]

The pretend 'music and lights have stopped working' doesn't have the same effect when you see it for the 2nd time in a few days

[Lao Lao]

I really like Lithuania's entry, even more so on second listening - 20/1 shot and the only Baltic country not to win the Eurovision, could be a sign!

[shrapnel]

Good start by Spain
Brutal song but lovely love story

No one has ever won from the 2nd spot... Just sayin

[DeadParrot]

Hozier should be suing here

[Lazare]

This Austria song is strong.
