As Happydude said, if the origional shot was on target then it's not an own goal.
Not directed at you, as I understand the trolling aspect but it's such a basic rule I can't believe so many people are still confused by it.
It's simpler than the offside rule!
I still cant understand how either rules are considered to be complicated. Stupid soccer fans they should try and figure out sports like rugby or american football.

not one dead cert in Dublin
no FF seats in either Kerry constituency
no FF seats in either Tipperary constituency
you start to get an idea of the scale of the problem for FF here!
There are also plenty of constituencies in which none of the FF candidates are individual certainties, but one of their candidates getting elected is a certainty.
Moving on to Uganda today, should be interesting, haven't been there before. Running three days behind schedule, I have to decide whether to try to push to get things done in a hurry there tomorrow or to take my time and stay till midweek. I suppose I might as well have a weekend there, I've already missed the deepstack and I'll probably find somewhere to see the Rugby there.
Briefly stuck on Vincent Browne last night when I was Ironing my shirts etc getting ready for another day. Goood to see that the socialists were well prepared. In the 5 mins I watched they showed that they cant count, have no idea how a tax system works and alsocant distinguish between tax avoidance and evasion. Sure the finace cant be that important that you would need to have prepared for those sorts of questions before you went on tv. Went to bed nice and aangry so its back to avoiding pre bed politics for me again
People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

this is the area that blindly transferred to Cyprian because he was in FF. don't get me wrong, FF vote in the area will take a huge hit, but there's still enough of the family voters in the area to get one through. Not to mention the ones who may be long term FF voters who want to protest their last government and go with a FG candidate but still give second preference to FF.
Certainly not a dead cert but write them off in that constituency at your peril.
Is that how you crash a wedding? yes it is, Bionic Barry, yes it is.

Peril? We've had enough peril from SF over the years thank you very much. Unless I'm being very old fashioned.
Looking forward to the Engerland Wales game. The English are improving but not as much as people think. I reckon the Welsh will thump em.

of course - the above were the nailed on certs
these are the 'probables'
Carlow-Kilkenny (McGuinness probably)
Cork SC (McGrath on the MeHole factor, lucky boy)
Donegal SW
Donegal NE
Cork NW (Moynihan - actually put him in the 'dead cert' list)
Cork SW
Galway E (Kitt)
Kildare S
Laois-Offaly
Longford-Westmeath
1 or 2 betwwen the two Meath constituencies

Love 6n time. Wales definitely losing tomorrow willie, half their team on the injury list. My top tip will be to lay the shit out of England to win the 6n AFTER tomorrows game though, as the usual ott Market "correction" occurs as a result of their victory.

I dont know about that. I think the Welsh are over rated these days dodgey pack and hit and miss backline, some great talent inthere allright but I think just to many jersey fillers now. Also England in a world cup year. Unlike the kickball they do seriously rise to the occasion for rugby. Will be interesting to see what style they come out and play but hopefully it wont be the serious packfest I expect from them

Interesting, My moneys going on the welsh boyos though. I was a huge Welsh fan growing up, I love the running game they've historically tried to play, and their recent internationals were great to watch. The lay bet looks good.
Raoul I'd love to do a Constituency by Constituency bet with you. We take all 42 Constituencies and predict who will take a seat in each, whoever gets the most correct wins. Double points for predicting winners who are not current TD's.
Possible side-line in Cabinet prediction also.
Now all I need is the money to bet with
You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

that sounds like fun. Ideally we could get quite a few of the punters here involved - kind of a fantasy election thing?
not really interested in cabinet predictions!
what's with the busto thing? I thought all you legal types lit your cigars with €50 notes! (or is that very last decade now? )

Delighted he got caught. Everyone knew he was doing it, i called him out a while ago, he was posting odds not available, massive in running bets at the last min and loads of other stuff

Didn't you hear? FF have Busto'd us all, even the boyos who eat crisps and ham n cheese sangwiches in the tilted wig every day. Plus all your doom and gloom has terrified us so we are sleeping with the money in the mattress and lethal weapon of choice beside the bed.
In other news I have caught the ghey. I looked up how to do the 'perfect' roast potatoes online last night to award my other half for notable achievements (living with me being one of them) the scary thing is, they were the tastiest I've had. Da Internet > Gordon Ramsey. Burned me hand when thinking the tray would be on turbo cool when removed from the oven.

I think it's splendid that you get to travel around Africa and hang out at elephant sanctuaries for your work. A Ugandan weekend gorilla trekking trip report is what BBV needs.
Gary Nevilles retired, a great servant to United. His hatred for LOLiverpool was indeed legendary and much appreciated by those of us who were stting on a barstool in the cuchoos nest in Greenhills as the place went into uproar from irate Lol fans jumping out of their chairs and ready to wreck the shop as he kissed his badge and taunted the lolers. I encourage any Manu n lolpool fans to watch the next game live there. Hilarity.

he was previously cloughlan or something
What's even scarier is he changed his name like Mellor said because he was applying for a bank loan and didn't want them to see how successful he was if they were to come across the thread. That's so fooked up it's incomprehensible.
We need to get the boards.ie gambling forum mod to investigate strewelpeter to see if SP isn't really just a fantasist garage mechanic who doesn't even have a passport.
In Kerry North, Deenihan and Ferris are nailed on for 2 of the 3 seats. The last seat though is interesting.
Spring (Dick's nephew) is 1/7
McEllistrim (FF sitting TD) is 2/1
Now McE is your typical local candidate. You'll never hear him on the tv or see him in the dail making some important speech but if you want the pothole sorted, etc he is your man. All politics is local... He is basically the Jackie Healy Rae of Kerry North. If anyone could get away from the FF backlash he could be your man. 2/1 is a decent price imo or better still, lay Spring at 1/7.
Of course this is just my opinion and I haven't lived there in a while, so don't go blowing your Cowen cash on it.
McEllistrim is from Ballymacelligott which is (I think) the biggest/second biggest parish in the country. The people are extremely tribal and I find it really hard to see him losing much of their support.
People I've talked to at home have pretty much said he'll walk it - my auld fella reckons he'll get in on the first count.

I rang a friend last night (local councillor) to get more info on it and he agrees that 2/1 is a great price. Parts of West Limerick are now in the constituency and according to him, McEllistrim has been canvassing hard in the area for the last 18 months
BTW Deenihan is a certainty for a Ministerial post.
Kayroo were you the kind of kid who drew maps for hide and seek, blueprints for your base and had the rules of rock paper scissors on the wall before playing?

I'll definitely have a shot and do sidebets with anyone interested (no money mentioned in your OP).
Thought its prob +EV to leave all entries til very close to the election date so won't do it for a while
Can I just ask by the way, did you ever finish your sheep game?

Nope. Was supposed to have a week off and thought I could contribute by doing one but then got 2 monster pieces of work dropped on me and couldn't finish it. By the time I had 10 minutes to actually do it I thought too much time had passed and I just left it die.
Still peeved I didn't finish it. Probably why I'm eager to do this, I want to be sure to give something back in here and contribute something other than pedantry and the occasional self-righteous rant.

He claimed they were able to track his old user name as it was the same email addy registered that the bank had. Lol BoI &
Boards.ie team us to track gamblers, hmmm doubt it bud
great stuff from the mod, he said he plays poker, we should get Pyro over here to make sure he isn't multi accounting epic wins in the staking forum
Also, in case people missed it, boards are running a virtual election at the minute, pretty good, FG storming ahead at the min, then labour, and then Indies
We need to get the boards.ie gambling forum mod to investigate strewelpeter to see if SP isn't really just a fantasist garage mechanic who doesn't even have a passport.
I reckon he is sitting in the back office of some back street Golden Discs type establishment, surrounded by the remnants of their World Music section

That'll do Neville, that'll do.
In fairness was gas listening to all the "best defender" stuff last night, saying how long he played was testament to him, without mentioning that he has been shite for the last 3-4 years
I used to love when he was a bollix to the Liverpool fans, all the abuse he got, he should be allowed to give some back imo
He is about to become another reason not to have sky
*ooh and the answer to the best right back question IS Dinjo Irwin
SPOILER
should have been Rob Jones
, so good he played out of position because icckle Gary's club of a left foot made mine look like Liam Brady's

I'd been reading that log for a long time for light entertainment. It was so obvious he didn't have a clue about nba and nfl but was apparently betting hundreds on each play. He'd put up reasoning that he'd rob off a US forum. I can't believe the amount of people who believed him tbh.
His very first bet was edited from 100 to 10 because it lost. Also, he "placed" a max 100 bet on Ronaldo 5/1 ATS in a paddy power shop that was the only one that had this special. Mellor politely questioned some of his bets and he got very defensive.
It's pretty sad really. I hope the young chap gets some help as I've no doubt he's addicted to gambling. All the warning signs are there.
