offer to make it ten grand imo, that's free monies of the highest order

Carey is a dead man walking (he even looks like one )

edit; here's a p.ie thread on DNW. Consensus opinion seems to be 2 * LAB and 1 * SF

Yeah that's what I thought. Silly mistake, although he probably would have welched anyway!

Dunno, alot of people are expecting there to still be a strong core vote on the day that's not reflected in the polls, along with all the stuff they'll remember he's done for them.

[RasTa]

I'm Dublin West

Burton - no chance
Leo - Smug git, no chance
Lenihan - No chance
Uncle Joe - Number 1

[Maloney]

This means it was just a foul, and not a foul and a miss??
Sounds like a nasty bit of angleshooting by Ronnie.

Yeah Higgins end up having take a shot, it wasn't a foul and miss.

The Transformers films are the greatest Sci Fi movies of our generation.

you'd be better off drawing large penises on your ballot card but hey, democracy is a wonderful thing

I really rate Leo fwiw, if only he could occasionally restrain his urge to speak

The only thing Leo is good for is blaiming other people imo. I'd pick Lenihan over him.

like heaping them with 200 billion in debt for the rest of their lives?

great job Pat, fair play to ya! Have you resigned from FF yet?

[LuckyLloyd]

I still think Underfuhrer Lenihan will get back in if he stands again, so if you want to go a straight $50 let me know. (Non runner no bet).

Booked?

Munster have demonstrated how to get out of Clermont alive before. You need to be strong at the setpieces and keep everything tight for 50 minutes or so. If you're still within a sniff at that point the intensity of the crowd and their belief dissipates and you can take the game to them in the last quarter.

But Munster are special. Leinster won't get a BP this weekend I'm afraid.

[Megatron]

lol, this is quite ironic considering the FF conversation above. What might be more apt is to say "Munster were special".

I think the rest of your post is spot on though.

lol at the hop on

Sure I meant "were". They drew Clermont in years past, and had a mojo at the time that got them through spots they had no right to talent or momentum wise. That team was "special" by any definition. Leinster are without their driving force and have never demonstrated a toughness to the same Munster circa 2001 - 2008 degree. You would need that on Sunday. Any side would!!

Sure they have Baby on the bench FFS!!

[LuckyLloyd]

Cool if so.

Yes booked. We can sort out a transfer after the result. Good luck, etc.

[ghostface]

I assume you mean sick. I thought it was awesome too

Nope as in pretty shit. The whole story with the auld transformer in the airplane museum or whatever the fuck that was was appalling. Shia going to transformer heaven was an absolute joke and the whole end fight scene was pretty poorly done I thought. None of the newer smaller autobots were good.

This new one needs more Starscream. Having said that I thought the 1st one was brilliant... Just hope its not going how the matrix trilogy went

[LuckyLloyd]

I take it you haven't witnessed Raoul's previous prop bet negotiations?

I don't think you've seen me negotiate such things before though.

[Raoul Duke III]

Where do you want to start the line? I'll do up to $100 on something mutually acceptable.

let me consult my research team

they currently have:

Arthur the terrorist - Louth
Caoimhin the bank robber - Monaghan
Martin the gun runner - Kerry South
Aengus the crook - Dublin South Central
and Pearse the comparitively nice young fella - Donegal

and they ran at 16% in the recent Red C poll, ahead of FF

They will easily retain these 5 seats and obviously they're going to pick up a large amount of votes, especially in working class areas but the question is how will that translate into seats?

I think I'd be setting the line fairly high, probably around 12 or 13.
I can see them picking up quite a few Dublin seats. Thoughts?

[Raoul Duke III]

I see the inquest into Gerry Ryan's death has concluded it was from cocaine

not really a surprise

[ArmaniJeans]

I'm Dublin West
Burton - no chance
Leo - Smug git, no chance
Lenihan - No chance
Uncle Joe - Number 1

I think those 4 will get in comfortably now that its a 4seater. It could be the most boring constituency of them all at the next election unless FG feel that Leo can get a running mate home, but I think he is going to run solo again.

Even if BLs vote halves he should still piss the 4th seat as the extreme left vote / protest vote is likely to go Comrade Joe rather than Sinn Fein. BL could conceivably get elected even if his vote plummets to 12%.

Last time out.

@LL, this guy has SF on 26 seats!

all based on the latest poll

Paddy Power seem to be favouring 13-16 seats

you can forget about that 12-13 seat number in my previous post!

[nicnicnic]

Anyone doing any punting on the Poker Million tonight?

Was thinking of backing James Bord @ 6/1 for some interest.

Oddschecker link

Tony Bloom is the best value imo. I liked the look of Webber in the heat and the Runners Up game which were both really tough heats and will have a few quid on both

I did that to try and cause a reaction on the THMPF



All start with the same stack and its played to a finish tonight.



I didnt watch any of it so I have little knowledge of the smaller players. Do you reckon there could be value in the 2 outsiders?

http://www.blackbeltpoker.com/articles/read/Jesse-May-Poker-Million

Jessy May does a good write up on it, gives Bloom no chance without saying outright. I was thinking that 12/1 and 10/1 the two rags myself but the more I think about it the 5/1 Patrik Antonius, looks the bet for me.

[Morihei]

Transformers >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2001

Yeah and Teletubbies >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Sky At Night.

I think this will be a lot closer then most people are putting out there. I think it will be won or lost by the back row. Heaslip and O'Brien are on great form so if Jennings can hit the top of his game aswell the hits will go in around the fringes and they can get some quick ball. If any of those 3 dont play excellently they are screwed tho.
It will be a lot easier if they can get the line out working tho

Transformers 2 was an unmitigated tidal wave of sloppy shit.
*hip hop autobots with gold teeth and speaking ebonics
*the never ending nod nod wink wink to the war in the middle east
*shai lebeofs ma getting stoned....ugh
*farting robots
*ROBOTS FEELING PAIN
*the hackers.....'We got scooped'....oh please fuck off and die
*shitty blocky CGI, two giant robots fighting (hell yeah!), I couldnt make out a fucking thing
*Close up of Megan Foxes arse, zoom down Megan Foxes top, sweaty Megan Fox, Lesbian robot and Megan Fox(ok, I may have made up the last one)
*Sha Lebeofs da (actually can anyone remember, any of the human characters names??? Me neither) complaining about college fees....didnt they save the world in part one, I'm sure Uncle Sam sprung for a few fucking classes
*Preppy college bad boys, made to look like wimps, as death looms over them like a prison rapist.
*The 'Ancient' robots....seriously, a coherent plot please, more holes than all the bullet ridden corpses MISSING from the turd of a movie.
*Cannibal Prime....kicks ass then decides he doesnt need all that cool shit anymore.
and on and on and on and on
Dont even get me started on the fucking agent guy....spy living with his ma in a deli one minute...
CLIMBS the pyramids in seconds!!!

I spent the movie squirming as it felt like Michael Bay rubbing his nutsack across my brain.
That's right, he T-bagged your mind in this movie, and some of you sick fucks liked it.

My god a Sinn Fein - Labour coalition. Now that really is a disturbing prospect. I did like the Guns and Roses reference but I imagine it will turn out like that riot when they cancelled that gig in canada rather then the fun time I had in The Palace.

[TheImprover]

I have followed the whole series and i have been really impressed with Webber and he seems to running very good, gd bet at 8/1 with boyles 1/3 of the odds 1,2, imo

Not only are you a Munster supporter from Leinster, which is bad, you are the typical annoying Munster fan spouting typical "Munster have heart yo" shite.... it's annoying.

5 in a row btw.....

Ya know Tom, I was trying to rmember the name of the movie, starshiptroopers, yeah that was excellent.
I think the indictment to transformers was it was about Alien robots that run into trucks. As yer man says in the Meteor ad, What are ya 12? I think Stewelpeters point from earlier is proven x 1000. LOL @ assertions that this afternoon kiddie movie is mentioned in the same breath as 2001. meh I suppose it's fcked up taste buds like this that exhalt people like Robbie Williams in the music world. :-P ( I forgot to say IMO)


So the 'Ryan line' finally killed ol Gerry. Hands up who DIDN'T think it was cocaine? Anyone? Good.

I am sure 2001 was cutting edge in terms of special effects when it was released in the 1960's or whatever. But with the CGI graphics and effects Movies such as Avatar and Transformers just blow it out of the water.

Maybe if they remade it with Keanu Reeves or someone like that it could again be considered a modern classic.

Seriously with the amount of extra housing in this country I doubt mass caravan living is something we will need to take up. The level of inbreeding that your ancestors were into is not really for me to comment and I dont think Muster are a particularly bad team but the fans really piss me off. I know its an old gripe but I got tickets for the euro final in Murrayfield and couldn't get a hotel room in Edinburgh or a flight because they all wanted to sell their spots at a premium rather then just cancel. Ended up staying in Glasgow which while not a terrible commute was anoying. Also heard stories of the particularly embittered deciding that they would rather loose the money than help out the Leinster fans.

[Emmet]

I on the other hand got a ferry ticket, a 5* apartment and tickets for the final off a Munster fan who was far more optimistic of a HEC win than I had been in the September before the final. All for €320 pp.

We had 2 cars of 4 people and then another 5 who flew and crashed the floor in the apartment.

Lad was an absolute gent, and when he handed the tickets to me, said to make sure that we "stuff those Leicester pricks".
- They're not all spas at the very least.

What did annoy me, was the Munster fans who came to the match, in Munster jerseys! What was that about?
