I always assumed that the 'No to Foreign Games' was a fake photo, probably put together by a couple of freelance photographers.

Everything about it is weird, the way the guys face is conveniently covered, he's looking in a different direction to everyone else, no other photographs of him and his placard came to light, no followup interviews with the alleged idiot despite the fact that he could have become a bit famous/infamous.

Was there ever any followup information on it?

[Ryanzo]

this kamal dude is the worst attempt at a 'comedy' poster ever

Was waiting for someone to say it!

[eagle eye]

Reina is a super shot stopper, I have to say after today that I don't rate him as an all around keeper but he was still man of the match. Blackburn deserved a point from that game, they were the better team by far.

Obv fake but genius nonetheless

Just flicked over to see the bumper in Leopardstown, JP Magnier was being carried clear on the bridle 2 out with the pack going nowhere behind him and he was still trading at 8 on betfair. LOL easy money.

[6starpool]

I am so damn hunover now its not funny. Out at 2 yesterday, home at some time past remembering (1am would be my best best).

Watching the Liverpool match on a stream wasn't the best for my head either, but at least the result helps.

Ya bastraud!. Laying all day and the fav here was the first i backed. Noted yer man still a good price like you say but these usually fall in a big hole.
By the way was Charles Byrnes up to more jiggery pokery with Pittoni yesterday. He definately didnt get a hard race as Russells flailing looked like subterfuge to me.

[Emmet]

fuckin hell.

I left my house on Friday at 3pm, and went home for the weekend.

Just arrived back to the house there, had left the front door open...

3k worth of guitars and everything else I own still inside.

Northside's not all that bad!

[Emmet]

The door was on the latch, so wouldn't close even with a gust of wind.

I'm one lucky fucker

Open as in wide open or open as in not closed?
if it looked close then no one is going to bother about the house -
haven't said that i know a house with a group of girls thats been broke into 4 times this year - twice when there were people in the house

As I was coming up the street to the house, the door was open and I thought I'd been broken into.

It was only when I got inside, and nothing was touched, that I realised that I must've left it open!

[MrsFlushdraw]

Still not picked my other horse for the $12,000 gtd on stars tonight. Anyone fancy helping a new mum stay off work a bit longer by making us both money?

[Ryanzo]

@ MrsFlushdraw: Ill play! im playin the big little on tilt too.. ah go on, go on, go on!

[MrsFlushdraw]

Where is Glasgow? I looked it up on google maps there, I'm struggling to see which part of Ireland it's in or what being Irish would have anything whatsoever to do with a derby based in that city? Guess I'm not truly Irish though, after all, I don't support a British team, so I couldn't be.

Cut the British shit! They are Scottish teams

[MrsFlushdraw]

@ MrsFlushdraw: Ill play! im playin the big little on tilt too.. ah go on, go on, go on!

Tony and I both have a tourney chosen the same, so I am not grabbing everyone that said they would yet!

[rounders123]

Anyone know the FT score of the Leinster Schools Senior Cup between
Clongowes v St Mary's?. Cant find it anywhere online.

Edit: Clongowes 10 - Marys 9

[Strewelpeter]

Cut the British shit! They are Scottish teams

Scottish is British
Welsh is British
English is British
Northern Irish is British

[MrsFlushdraw]

Scottish is British
Welsh is British
English is British
Northern Irish is British

Now Now, don't piss me off, I am hormonal

I NEVER EVER say British and not many Scots will!

What the hell is going on here

You just got me onto errors movies and one of the first ones I ever spotted was in Pretty Woman when Julia Roberts loosens Richard Gere's tie and then it shows him again and his tie is back on. I'll trawl youtube and see if I can find it, should be up there.

Went looking for it no luck yet but found this one from the same movie, huge blooper.

[Fiery Wasabi]

Someone on here may know what the story is here.... my son backed 5 teams in an accumulator, 4 of them won and 1 game was postponed,....how should the bookies handle this?

[dangerousdavid]

Do agree with this the way they swan into the bookies in clusters from the pub of a sunday morning like jack the lads they arent with their short back and sides haircuts wearing their prestine clean celtic shirts. Im always funking for Rangers because of them even though im not a protestant not that religion has anything to do about it.

My mates Celtic season ticket, was previously 1 piece

edit: i'm a Hibs fan so more Irish than some on here it seems

Watch that film again, when Julia Roberts is having breakfast, theres constant continuity errors. Just watch whats in her hands/ what she's eating. I think they might have even done it on purpose!

[AndyFatBastard]

The bet stands. The money goes on to the game that will be played. This is a prime opportunity to lay the result and create a guaranteed profit situation.

The fifth match will be void and they'll pay out on the four team accum. They might give the option of letting it ride to whenever the last game is re-scheduled if he wants to but ask to clarify.

[Hatedajacks]

God Benitez gives the worst interviews ever.Never answers the question asked and looks so smug.

Unfortunately it's with the local branch of Hacketts bookmakers

[MisterMonkey]

they will subtract the price of the one that was postponed and pay him out on the smaller price of the other 4

[Emmet]

as above, everyone knows exactly what their Bookie will do, but it varies from situation to situation.

Nobody can answer here for certain unfortunately

[AndyFatBastard]

OK, looks like different bookies do different things. If the bet stands, you know how to setup the guaranteed profit situation, right?

put loads more money on the fifth team in the bet isnt it?

Just looked at that now, why does he even bother doing an interview is thats all he is going to do, he just comes across as a right prick tbh.

That doesn't affect the ability to lay it and guarantee money if it rides. If your son doesn't work out how to do it then there's no point explaining it as he's going to p1ss the money away on magic beans or something anyway

[ArmaniJeans]

Slightly biased as a Blackburn fan?

I like his interviews - he doesn't just give 'the lads done well, pleased for the fans, big 3 points, always room for improvement' meaningless answers that the majority of the managers do.

The digs at Blackburn (best footballing team in the world) sound lol.

[Laois Hammer]

Anyone able to do a transfer before 7.30?
i ship $257 on stars for €188 on paddy?

No nothing biased about it. He just seems to have no respect for the interviewer or those that might want to hear from him. He just comes across as a smug prick. If thats the way he is going to act in interviews he would be better off to let somebody else do the interview or not do it all.
If you watch Allardyce's interview he says it like it is, praises Gerard's finish for the first goal and praises Gerard, says he was unhappy with our defending for the second one and says we failed to make the most of our chances. No bull, and no disrespect.

[Sledgejammer]

I find allardyce an insufferable hypocritical whingebag and don't really mind Rafas interviews, to each their own I guess

To be honest I'd look at it the opposite way - theres little point in Allardyce doing interviews if he is just going to state the bleedingly obvious.
Rafa quite often goes off on an unexpected tangent which can backfire badly (rant against Mufc 12 months ago) or be a gem (his roundabout defence of zonal marking a few weeks ago).

I'm biased though as a Liverpool fan.

[Opr]

Link ?

I find the absence of Aquilani baffling at this stage. I mean he has been fit for quite some time now and is being afforded little or no game time. I thought he would get some kind of a run out between the match on Thursday and today.

[careca]

Saying you're Irish and don't support Celtic is like saying LOL, you open limped into a pot.

Its cool now, but its wasn't three years ago when no-one knew a fucking thing about it.


Saying that, am I truly upset cos Rangers won today. Nah. Not that bothered. Would rather see Celtic lose each year, than see Kerry lose one AI final.


Anyway, bit drunk here, so not sure where this is going.


one thing I will say, Gimmeabreak was spot about that bumper winner. Never came off the bridle against a horse that looked top class when he won at Punch over xmas.


Major after timing here, but I had all 3 of W Mulllins winners in a bet today. Not major when you compare it to some of the punters on here, but happy days for me. Roll on Chelt, cant wait at this stage.

WTF are you on about?

[6starpool]

Sam Allardyce is an unsufferable twat, and Rafas comments today were brilliant.

Repeatedly pressed on negative comments by Sam Allardyce before the game, Benitez replied: "We prefer to talk on the pitch.

"We can win on the pitch and enjoy. Some people have to talk before or after the press conference because it's more difficult for them to do a football job.

"I think he's a model for managers all around the world. I am sure his style of football, his behaviour - everything. It's the perfect model for all the kids.

"The style of football - I am sure Barcelona are thinking about copying the style."

[CHDad]

From a neutral I can confirm Rafa and Allardyce are both twats.

/debate

Re Aquilani I'm beginning to wonder if his chance is already gone and Rafa has decided that Aqua isn't the player he wants after all.

Why give a bookie that many chances at your money??

[careca]

Let me quess. You're Irish but you never supported Celtic because you studied the history of the game at a young age and hated the bigotry of the whole thing.

LOL good guess. Either that or I was raised protestant, so I have a keen hatred for anything that perpetuates the blind bigotry that filled my childhood. You decide.
