Hollway rant #47478547

"They will be relieved if we lose and get relegated," said Holloway. "Then I am not badgering them.

"I am so annoyed. Sir Alex Ferguson is a winner. He would never dream of not being interested in winning any match.

"That man deserves to pick whatever team he wants to pick. No one should question it.

"Look at his record. Those people running the game, what planet are they on? They must have beamed down from planet Zarf. They are not in the right world.

"They think we can only beat Manchester United if they are weak. What a load of baloney. Unfortunately, that is what we are dealing with."

Holloway added: "Already, they are saying Blackpool can't beat them. I am glad I don't go to work thinking that, otherwise I would never have got promoted last year.

"I would have been relegated from the Championship because that is what everyone said was going to happen.

"That attitude offends me. It upsets me on a personal note about my club and definitely on a Manchester United note. How dare they talk about Sir Alex like that? Haven't they seen his hairdryer? Haven't they seen how successful he is.

"Ask Schalke if they think Manchester United have a weak team.

"On Sunday, we have to try and do the impossible. It's got to be perfect. No one else has beaten them. And if we do, they might get fined because we are rubbish."

If Holloway has not had enough to contend with this week trying to get his head round a situation where Blackpool could win and go down on Sunday, or lose and stay up, there have also been contracts to sort out.

Due to the nature of the deals Blackpool got their players to sign last summer, most required formal notification by this weekend about whether they were staying at Bloomfield Road or not.

Ian Evatt and Keith Southern have already been given new contracts, Brett Ormerod is still negotiating his, whilst Stephen Crainey, Matthew Gilks and David Vaughan have rejected the initial offers.

"There has been no leeway," said Holloway.

"My chairman has done the bare minimum at this moment. If we stay up they will have a chance to negotiate better terms.

"It is slightly demotivating. I guess this weekend will see if I am any good as a motivator."

Apparently the knee should be OK in a week or 10 days, all it is is strained ligaments. Nothing showed up on the xray anyway. Relieved, to say the least!

I'm really coming round to the theory that the vast majority of republicans don't really know what republicanism is, how it came about, or what it's for. It seems to me they just enjoy having something to hate.

The vast majority of people who were protesting weren't there to protest but to have a go at the gardai, just like the Love Ulster parade.

This. And I think that was the point of the set piece. If they're too close the "benefit" of the misdirection is nullified.

Edit: Jesus how tilting would it be to play on or watch games played on that pitch regularly!

Really can't wait for The Apprentice tonight.

Ep 2 was pretty good, that norn iron guy Jim was phenomenal in the boardroom. Really excellent at speaking up for himself.

The girl's team leader was the nut power bitch, lolbad demo, her collapsing smile afterwards was beautiful. The big beaming mouth with the eyes gradually drooping, excellent.

A couple of real tilters on it this time, but some excellent talent too.

Throw in the same stuff, doubt you could go too much wrong. Never ate/cooked a red curry mind.

Pineapple? I'm impressed, inspired stuff wp.

I remember a story a real funny guy told me years ago. He was working as a labourer on a site as a teenager.

The foreman would send him to the shop every day at 10 o'clock break. Every day the foreman would get the same thing, breakfast roll, bag of King.

One day he said to the lad, 'ah get me something different, I'm sick of eating breakfast rolls, anything else, just something different'.

He came back with a tin of peas and a pineapple.

wow €7.6 mil profit

Red curry is horrible tbh, it's manky, it's got nothing on old green.

Quite wrong, both curries have their place, but if made right red curry can hold it's own. I use curry paste to make my curries, and if you get good quality paste/make it from scratch you can make some delicious curries.

On that note I'm in the mood to cook myself a curry now.

agreed but making curry paste from scratch is a waste of time. done it a couple of times and takes way too long for little or no added benefit compared to the ones you buy.

From the article "As the casino is open 24 hours a day, most of its 112 staff are trained to spot problematic behaviour: if someone is there too often or alludes to betting with rent money, they’re pulled aside. “It’s a difficult conversation to have,” says Hickson. “I don’t know, say, even my brother’s financial situation enough to judge whether he’s gambling too much or not. €50 can be nothing to one person and a lot to someone else"

Its the way he tells em

[cardshark202]

what an awfully written piece

I thought it was alright, a lot more open an honest than nearly every other piece I've ever read, apart from the stuff about taking problem gamblers aside, that shit happens once in a blue moon.

Nice speeches, nothing sensational but nothing left out either (Except maybe the tens of thousands of Irish WW2 Volunteers, far more of course than were ever in the IRA) she said something in Irish all the Fianna Failers were in the cheap seats and Famous Seamus and BOD were more prominent than the few Clergy that were on show. Iris Robinson showed up looking about 20 years okder than the last time we saw her.

Anyone have any suggestions of where would be a nice place to live for a few months to a year or so? I want Sun, sea and internet, that's about it.

I've been looking for a while now but it's harder than I thought to stick a pin in the map. I think I'd prefer Europe so I don't have the hassle of getting a visa and ease of getting home if needed/wanted etc. Was looking at places on the South coast of Spain but I really am clueless with this sort of thing. Anyone lived in somewhere in South Spain before?


Any suggestions/recommendations/help appreciated, thanks.
