Yeah purists will always claim its the best form of the game but won't back that up by actually going or watching much test cricket. Stadiums empty around the world while they jam them in for the shorter forms. Even an India Pakistan test will have empty stands until final day.
Always interested how certain sports originally set upon how long a certain match should be, some are perfect but others imo have got it wrong, test cricket probably being the worst, it's largely dour, super low risk and extremely low on entertainment. It's not that people don't have the time or patience these days, it's just plain bad. There's nothing other than tradition keeping it going at this stage.
The 50 over match manages to perfectly balance attack and defensive tactics and is by far the most intriguing form of the game.Profit before people.

A lot of credit goes to Lemass for taking the first baby steps but it was Charlie being a crooked fucker who got us the IFSC and thus a seat at the big boys table.

Crickets actually great banter to play, I've played a total of three games in my life and I enjoyed every one despite not having a breeze what was going on.
Similar to baseball,I assume theres so much more going on that I ever realized.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

Jesus; Andre's record against Boris
Lot of big matches in there!
+ the effect those results would have had on him in general
How many more titles/majors could Becker have won if someone had pointed that out to him

A couple of days ago I recorded my mate Ali O'Keefe, he plays on our darts team and sings in a band called Kolted doing his version of Hallelujah. If you find it too slow in the beginning skip to 3.30 for the hair raising on your neck effect (imho).

Easy to agree to a charity walk that starts at four in the morning when asked on a sunny Sunday afternoon, doesn't seem like the best idea now though. Pesky kids.

I am pretty sure i must now have done something to upset the poker community. I dont want to play the victim. I need to take responsibility for that. I just post what I post innocently. I felt I was doing the right thing.
I know I am over sensitive. And not socially skilled. I have my issues. I apologize.
It's ok if I am not welcome in the community. You kind of have to take me as I am. I can't be fake. But I do know all the things you have said. Are true.
I am ashamed of myself if i have hurt anyone. Or made the forum less enjoyable.
I have always felt insecure...maybe that was why i was posting so much to try and make friends. And if i seemed overly nice ..it was for that same reason.
I think the worse feeling in the world is feeling you are responsible for upset. So i am sorry.Last edited by Guest; 06-05-17, 01:42.

I think P+F is like an untrained friendly springer spaniel. It just bounces about out of control happy in its wee world. Lock it up and it sulks till you let it out and off it goes again. Take it for a walk and it pulls the lead looking to play with the world. Let it run free and everyone is its best friend. It never seems to stop and gets into trouble just doing its thing. It will piss where it shouldn't and go where it's not welcome but the dang thing is soo crazy you have to smile. If it starts to bite a muzzle may be necessary but hopefully all it will do is shag your leg, jump in water and run over your well maintained garden pissing you off while at same time you're smiling at the mad bastard.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostKey thing to take from the US is how careful we need to be when voting. How mad is it that a people have voted in a government that is passing a law to deprive them of healthcare. Its hard to imagine that a big portion of Trump's lower wage workers would have actually voted for that if they'd seen through all the bluster stuff they found interesting. When really international politics has no effect on the local population, but healthcare has a massive impact.
See it a bit in France with the far-left candidate - Melenchon - who's voters aren't going to vote in great numbers for Macron as they don't feel he is lefty enough. Thus helping Le Pen. Although she can't win.
I wonder how many votes in Ireland are based on stupid reasons, and could lead to the same perverse outcomes. Every independent, SF, AAA-PBP vote is a vote for stupid things to be implemented. Not because left wing policies are stupid, but because their specific policies have no rationality. But how many people would e.g. vote an independent over FF because of Bertie, when the reality is that its only FF/FG that deliver normal, historically effective, government.
I could vote labour though! That might work! Enda is not all that bad.neither are FG...considering. I would still vote labour. Or lefty independents ...or no maybe...i guess I will have to see how I want to vote when it comes.
It's not such an issue here ..as we always have coalitions.
You are right ...we need to think ...realistically. Extreme politics are never a good thing.
I would vote an independent over FF...but I would vote labour over FF too...or FG if it came to it. If it was to stop ...sf ...then and only then ...FF ...and then have a bath.
I am never ever going into politics ....ever.Last edited by Guest; 06-05-17, 06:35.

wsop is in lisbon so decided to play a bit of cash. took forever to get a seat and mentally just wasn't engaged, (more focused on the huge 5/10 game to my left) i knew i should have gotten up and left but was apathetic towards the whole experience. only did 300 but last hand summed it up.
get it in with Queens vs 44 vs 33, board goes 44353. I was hysterically laughing, the man with 3's not so much.

Reckon you should limit it to one or two killer posts such as this a day so it doesn't get lost among the other 50 a day.
