8000 tickets at €40 a piece leaves you with a budget of €320,000 from ticket sales alone....considering Republic of Loose would play for half a crate and a handjob for that homeless guy who sings with them you have to wonder what the money is being spent on!
Odds on the Coronas the Blizzards or Aslan being the headline act? Them 3 and Loose must have played the student bar over 100 times between them in the four years I was there. UCD ents are retarded.
He misses his fair share of easy chances, but the fact he gets in those positions and gives it 110% every game is what makes him stand out.
As a Spurs fan I can confirm that the above is not the case. I couldn't count the number of times he's played for us and barely touched the ball. Many's the time if it wasn't for his pointing and moaning you wouldn't know he was on the pitch.
Also Keane is, as best as I can tell, blind. He is always squinting and rarely seems to see the ball until it is in front of his nose.
I think he applied himself very well in his career overall and has done pretty damn well for a striker with no pace, minimal dribbling ability, no heading ability, and will miss easy chances. His positioning, effort (in the games when he shows up), and ability to link up well with others are what has made him a good player.
Apparently he is also very good for the dressing room, except when he wanted his Liverpool move and then acted the complete cnut I believe.
Have not got the time or (as I'm a self emplyed contractor) the money to be doing that.
People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

well; when/if it gets serious and ends up costing you 100(0)'s
remember the 30 mins and 40 quid you could not spare to see a doctor
+ you are willing to spend money on tablets that might work
doctor will give you tablets that should work
2 - People should not buy 8ths from Irish dealers. Use the internet and get it delivered. Higher quality, correct weights and none of the pretend friend stuff with someone who is just your dealer.
Could you PM me with details on this. I am intrigued as to how this transaction works.
only flicked through the pages from last night as there but 2 points I want to make are
1- Robbie Keane was a great player for Ireland but is well past his best. Definitley not international class anymore. His current goal scoring is not nearly as good as his past form so saying that you think he is past it doesnt seem so crazy to me. He might get his touch back if he gets regular games at West Ham but he doesn't have it right now. He does whinge an unreal amount. I was a massive fan of Robbies for years so dont take this up wrong but like all sports keeping an over the hill player in the squad can ruin a younger players chances to adjust and develop.

How can you say Keane is not international class anymore, he's scored 11 goals in his last 20 internationals. Yes, he misses tons of chance but so do all strikers that play in a similiar type of role. He's still only 30 and is far and away the best we have and he'll continue to score loads more goals at international level.
This is a false statistic for one simple reason, Healy has never played a match in a competitive tournament and, consequently, never scored a goal there.
The standard of competition is an important factor here.
what a terrible argument, of them 46 only 3 have come in a competitive tournament
I wouldnt be putting such short prices in an E/W yankee. Say the 15/8 and 7/2 place you will get less than 2 euro back or something. If you want to back horses at that price I would stick to singles and doubles. Yankees are for the big score IMO
I've only buttons on it anyway, backing more for a bit of fun to pass the afternoon in work. I wanted to back that 20/1 shot e/w, sportinglife had him listed at 6's btw
I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

This isn't due to a lack of effort though, and its one of the biggest misconceptions in football imo. Its more a confidence issue. You regularly see accusations thrown at the likes of Berbatov, Torres, Keane of being lazy and going missing ect. Strikers are on the whole pretty fragile creatures unless your German or Bendtner and have an unflappable resolve. When on form, their touch and movement that made them the world class strikers they are is almost second nature but when they're struggling they tend to overthink things and that split second of doubt can make a huge difference.
Like Berbatov is a great example, he might go several games without scoring throughout the season but when he scores you can visibily see the transformation of confidence in his expressions, his sharpness and which explains why he tends to have gotten a lot of braces or even hat tricks in his career.

I just thanked that post cos it mentioned Berbatov.
Seriously though, good post Sitch.
People in general are football retarded. Whats funnier is people who are completely football retarded thinking they are not, and whats funnier again is people who are completely football retarded thinkng they are not but thinking that others who are not football retarded are football retarded.
Yes yes. I know, I know.

DP I know the guy you are probably talking about in Canada who shut down a few years back now but my mate had a replacement within a few hours. i will get the link off him and om it to you guys later but i dont have it in my work contacts. There are plenty of them out there but I am sure most will just rip you off but this guy seems decent enough.
At the moment we buy as a group due to needing to buy in bulk but I will get the link and send it on.
How does anyone get any work done with one monitor, so tilted I haven't got my pc to use.
Know what you mean, I've got a laptop at work that has a tiny resolution (1366x768) and a moniter that has got (1280x1024). I have them set up as a dual screen display but still not great. Would love to bring in my poker setup into work!!

2.00 Bold Diva 7/2
2.30 Sabusa 20/1
3.00 Black Baccara 6/1
3.30 Frequency 15/8
Again, follow at your peril.
You got a better price than me today anyway. Bold Diva only 10/3 with Boyles. Should go off at 4s hopefully. Gl. I went for Shaded Edge 11/2 for a double in the 4:00. I prob wouldn't have put the syndicate's money on todays bet though. Just hoping for the run good again.
Odds on the Coronas the Blizzards or Aslan being the headline act? Them 3 and Loose must have played the student bar over 100 times between them in the four years I was there. UCD ents are retarded.
Blizzards have split up, 2 of them are running a bar in Mullingar. Singer is doing stuff in London last I heard, other chap I don't know too much off. That said, kids and marriage etc so I don't think they'll be back together any time soon.
when the best you can churn out is "trust me trust me, I'm a doctor" and your song sounds like a rejected Slade christmas B-side, splitting up is the best option.
Is that how you crash a wedding? yes it is, Bionic Barry, yes it is.
I tried that, and i told your one on chat that i've tried that about 10 times but it shows up as tournament chips as the balance and not the buyins? When i change it to last 10 admin games, it just seems to select a handful of games. I played a few sats, some razz/omaha hi-lo and a couple of rebuys. Also used a €55 ticket to play a sat for the €320 game on saturday (which i managed to bink ) and i want to make sure that the €55 didn't come out of my account, or that i didn't rebuy/top up in error
Nice one binking the ticket, gl on Saturday.
That's strange that it comes up as tourney chips. You sure you didn't go to the HH part(doubt you did)? That's what I did first when I saw op. Does the € amount come up on the left after you enter the dates?
Do you still have the €55 ticket? Process of elimination, they'd hardly take the ticket and the money. Although it seems like a bit of a shady site at times.
Hmmm At the Races reporting this morning that Herefords ground was good to firm. I watched the first race and the ground is cutting up like sweeney todd on cocaine. Doesn't bode well for my selection later.

I meant for Ireland tbh. He does give it everything in every game whether it's a friendly or not. I don't like him or his antics and i can see where bubbleking is coming from. For the last 10 years, we've had little other choice up front so he's always been one of the first names on the teamsheet

Cheers Caf. Was hoping i could unreg for the cash but no can do!
Nah went into tournament results and configured it for MTTs and Real etc and it comes up just as tournie chips. If i change from MTT to admin games, it shows what i won but not buyin or balance. It seems like a retarded system and your one on Laddies seemed a bit clueless (chat spoiler below)
I don't have the ticket. While i was playing it said "in process" or something to that affect and it's gone now.

Not only that, but people completely miss the point about a "lack of effort". Running around like an idiot, throwing tackles in and getting involved ala Alan Smith may look good and please the fans, but is it +EV for the team? Check Smiths goal record when he was played up front.
Often it's far more important to be constantly running off the shoulder, staying out of the game for long periods and maintaining clever positions. If the mid fielders have a day where they don't see the runs or can't pick you out it'll look like you're lazy and doing nothing when the complete opposite is the case. I mean how many strikers labled "lazy" seem to not only score a load of games but also seem to get far more chances than others? Do people honestly think this is a coincidence?
You can't take a striker who misses a few chances and say "Well put in player x and he'd have scored those" when chances are player x wouldn't have gotten a single one of the chances to begin with because they didn't have the technique movement strength and cleverness to get on the end of the passes or simply be in the right place at the right time. Look at Gerd Muller, he was often considered lazy and disappeared from games, compare his goal scoring record to Emile Heskey. There's millions of examples, Inzaghi being another. He never seems to be involved yet he's always getting on the end of tap ins that "anyone could have scored", weird that isn't it? People have called him lazy, which is a lolstupid thing to say, he's not lazy (He is, in fact, insanely passionate) he's just clever.
BK said it all when he said, trolling or no, that we didn't have Keane to "miss his five chances a game". More pertinently, we didn't and don't have a player capable of getting five chances in a game, until we do Keane is far and away our easiest pick on the team sheet.
"In the world, there are many kings but there is only one God. I am God, I am El Tren" :{)
Calling anyone who can get to the top of the most widely played, most highly competitive (in terms of people wanting the job) occupation in the world lazy is simply ridiculous.
Football sense aside, the grit, determination, hard work and pure sacrifice needed to reach the top of ANY competitive sport is mind boggling.
Easier for fat fucks in bars to call them lazy though.
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.
