I'm thinking Liverpool are a good bet Spurs, I can't check the odds at the moment due to blocks. I'm thinking 3/1-7/2 is a fair price. Less than that I won't be tempted.

[Guest]

Argentina great value this weekend 10/11 -8pts againest an irish team low on coinfidence.
I expect us to get mullered in the scrums and doctor Phil on his return to dublin to have a great game

The Shinner has romped home in the hilariously irrelevant Donegal by-election. They may as well leave the campaign posters up for the next one.

Pearse Doherty (SF) 39.7%,
Frank McBrearty (Lab) 10.1%,
Brian Ó Domhnaill (FF) 21.2%,
Barry O'Neill (FG) 18.4%,
Thomas Pringle (Ind) 10.1%.

21% for FF in the heartland of heartlands , wonder what this can be extrapolated to nationally? 15%?

Probably wise not to make any forecasts based on this anyway, they're a strange lot up there. Right Mary?

Betfair for 4.0

I heard that the trade unions met with some IMF guys today and came out saying that they had a very frank discussion but dont think that either party will have changed the others mind. Can I take it mean that the IMF guys said you will all need to take paycuts. TU said no paycuts. IMF said seriously you will take paycuts or not get payed at all see you next week for your answer.

[MegaSin]

Fifa 11 for the 360 and PS3 going for 24.99 on gamestop atm.

IMF dude; "you said your name was Begg right? Begg...Begg...Begg...where have I heard that name before? <delves into stack of documents> Aha! here you are! You're on the Board of the Central Bank. And Aer Lingus. And you, the other dude? Your name's O'Connor, yeah? You're on 125 grand a year! Wow, fair fucks to you lads - I'm used to dealing with raving commies as heads of trade unions but you boys seem to have it well sorted. Have a cigar?"

Probably not, I doubt the discussion even got as far as direct paycuts - They were more likely just discussing the recently announced €15B savings of the next 4 years, which the TUs seem totally opposed to.

Pretty mental that the heads of the trade unions are on more than the IMF guys.

there's probably teachers on more than the IMF guys

e.g. Hanafin, Fahey, Dempsey Martin...I could go on

Argentina great value this weekend 10/11 -8pts againest an irish team low on coinfidence.
I expect us to get mullered in the scrums and doctor Phil on his return to dublin to have a great game

I wouldn't make this bet with anyones money! Argentine 2nd string with 3/4 starters vs an Irish team that played with the most intensity and passion they've managed in years last weekend?

Think the spread is about right, as our inconsistency hurts us. But if we retain 60% of last weeks form it could be a 15 point win!

[RichieM]

Couldn't agree more Emmet. This is an Irish team that will have way more confidence now after finally giving a good performance and starting to shape up. I also imagine our boys should be a little more familiar with the artic conditions then our south american opposition. If the atmosphere is half as good as last weak it will be a great afternoon so long as I can find my gloves.

Id' give them 500k tomorrow and it would still be too much.

[Denny Crane]

Meteor emailed me there saying that they want €300 deposit upfront for my contract, which is practically the whole amount I'm paying over the life of it anyway.

What's the likelihood of successfully telling them to gtfo and just ship me my phone?

[hotspur]

Lolerpool don't show up away from home atm, they have scored only 4 from their 7 away games. With Gerrard out as well I can't see 5/2 being any sort of a good price. Spurs will not have a European hangover as our home match versus Bremen was more akin to a training ground game at half pace such was the Godawfulness of the opposition.

Even that moustacheoed Lolerpool fool Lawro (who always tips teams to beat Spurs) fancies Lolerpool to lose by a couple of goals.

Stay away imo.

I'd be telling them to GTFO regardless tbh.

Intensity and passion and still got blown away by 20 points albeit againesta great team.
Did you see our passion and intensity againest Samoa a game we robbed off them.

I think it will be a real slugg fest and one we will win but not by more than 8

The atmosphere will be nowhere like the all blacks game.
These matches traditionally are dour tough affairs and seeing as the irfu have alienated many fans i cannot see the atmosphere being electric.

Considering the piss poor rugby style we play as well kick the bollix outta the ball
its hard to het to excited ones team giving away possession.

Many of these players play in france where winters can be severe dont think the cold will affect them so much there rugby men not soccer players

No shame in being beaten by the best if you can hold your head up high.

As said, our inconsistency is what makes the spread appropriate. Depending on the mindset of players and the day that's in it, we could win by twenty or lose by 10, I just can't see any value in the bet above!

[Keane]

Epic tune IMO:

Epic is, well, epic alright, but wanted to put that other one up to illustrate Mike's greatness. Have never seen Faith No More live (and probably won't now, as I think they announced at a gig recently that Faith No More are definitely through) but I'm gonna catch Mike Patton sometime for sure.

Your saying getting beaten by 20 points by a touring team allows you to hold your head up high.
Its gonna be freezing i think weather wise.
There is only 3 changes from this Argie team that lost by 6 points to France last week
ill not be going nuts on the bet and rarely advertise or give tips
i didnt get one thanks for banker of the year on the all blacks to beat us by 13pts or more last week m
i hope we win by less than 8

judging by my kids appetities, the cougars are in more danger of being munched by them

less poisonous snakes or spiders than Australia anyway

or Australians. Win\Win

[Raoul Duke III]

speaking of Australians, first session tonight will decide the test

Aussies 40 behind and 5 wickets in hand.

[nicnicnic]

someone posted a stream for racing uk a good while back in the gambling forum, cant find it, anyone got it ?

Have a friend over there at the minute hes got a good job worked since he left school as a carpenter then a foreman and now contracts manager

all he used do before was drink and drink more
the change in lifestyle very much an outdoors culture there has opened his eyes

as you can see mountains in spitting distance Vancouver island massive wildlife retreat
and last time i checked canadian women love irish men
also Vancouver stays realtively mild in winter sea breeze
compared to here its a land of milk and honey
while were some rotten cream and stink molasses

[Raoul Duke III]

hmmm, maybe not:

As of April 2010, the average two-level home in Vancouver sells for a record high of $987,500, compared with the Canadian average of $365,141

When you say decide you mean if Engerland get a draw or lose.


Michael THANK YOU for the tip last week on NEW ZEALAND to beat Ireland by 13 point or more. (Although I predicted a bigger margin myself)


Hotspur, I think you overestimate the Spurs and underestimate lolpools form atm. I was hoping the bookies would do the same but 5/2 kind of represents the chance I'd give them, so no bet for me. Maybe the HT Spurs FT Draw is a better idea.

[CHDad]

Spurs 1-0. Crouch.

He can sing properly
most singers cannot sing properly

he has a decent/good voice but not a great voice (well not as good a Johnny Gyles anyhu)

& id be a fan in case you think Im putting him down

[Icarus152]

Obviously I've never watched I'm a celec get nme out of here but I see thast that dangerous and ugly fraud Gilian McKEith has been on it.
The Guardian have a very funny piece on it today.

She actually makes the show redic funny though.It's hilariously sadistic viewing and better then the fraud-factor imo.

Ugh. I started a game of Civ at 7pm yesterday. I went to bed at 4am to get up at 06:20. Now I have to do 12 hours. Give me coffee or death.

Respect dude.I bought Civ on someones heres recommendation but I can't really get into it,will have to get some tips from you.I keep comparing it to Total War which I prefer.

[DeadParrot]

tbh Raoul, most people rent over there, however, I can see the issue with wife + 2.4 kids
Apts as well are much more popular and 100% better than it's equivilent over here

[Raoul Duke III]

When you say decide you mean if Engerland get a draw or lose.

draws don't tend to feature at the Gabba, check out PP's odds. 13/2 outsider the draw.

If England get Hussey or Haddin early doors, they have the ability to destroy the Aussie tail. Anything less than 100 of an Aussie lead wouldn't be a total disaster either.

Although it is illegal, Vancouver police generally do not arrest people for possessing small amounts of marijuana

Anything less than a 100 lead would be a major result for England at the Gabba.

Aussie tail is poor compared to England's and the new ball is due

as an Ingerland backer, I'm hoping for Anderson to do the business this morning\this evening. Starting half an hour early too so all helps with the swing.

Barmy Army! Barmy Army! etc
