you can say what you like about Kewell but it has pretty much been proven that his injury problems in England were compounded by the medical treatment at English football clubs being lolbad

[aodea]

Home nation, proved last year in confedertions cup support at home will do a lot for them, fancied the draw myself. mexico lack a bit of bite in my opinion.

Did i mention how happy i am.

[Ste05]

Anyone else watching the opening ceremony? WTF is the story with the big beetle pushing a giant ball??

[Hatedajacks]

I have backed the draw at 15/8. No doubt Mexico are the better team but The home team have never lost the first game of a world cup and i think they will scrape a draw.

Also Lumping on New Zealand -13 points v Ireland tommorrow.Think thats a great bet

[rounders123]

So if you call him Ian ShyAnn you really hate him.

do you like living in Norf Dublin?

No if they really want to get at him they slag him about not being able to hold his drink like the rest of the cheyenne tribe.

Norf Dablin ftw i tell you. You gotta love the self righteous auld fellas. One auld fella was walking down the street with what i assessed to be a Chinese home help girl. As i passed he seemed to be giving her welfare advice saying "Ye know dih advice place the advice bureau?" and the Chinese girl said "Do you mean the citizens information?" "Yeah yeah thats the one but i call it the advice bureau".

I was in Athy last weekend to watch the triathlon, theres a few quare hawks in that town. I went into Anns bar where the bar maid Ann well in her 70's collared me and bent my ear for the full duration of my pint while extracting all the info from me. Then some random Athyonian bloke sitting at the bar comes over and shows us a youtube clip on his mobile phone of someone holding a bag of cement over his own head when one of his mates creeps up behind him and cuts the bag spilling all the cement over the carrier. That clip never grows old on that lad as his laugh suggested.

you may have, in passing

footballing wise, mexico slaughter ZA (they do that to most teams)
but
ZA stronger, pumped, fit, work hard
mexico can go missing, have a soft centre as their record against the USA shows

mexico could/should easily batter them but.....

Wow I just got THE SODOMY in two successive pots and went from chippy to bust in three hands deep in tourny on stars. The first one get it in with 22 on a A 10 2 board and cant hold v A10. Thats reasonable,daily misery stuff.

The second one was pure though.

Still top 20 in chips. Tilt call A8s from the big blind v an utg tighty and we see a A 7 9 ss flop. Ugh mash the mouse for half pot lead,enjoyably he insta raises. His line and timing are fos so I stick him in incase hes bad enough to call with KK QQ. He is. He has 4h4d.

Easy easy fucking bink. GENUINLY closing my stars account today. Actually closing it. The last month has been fucking insane for not holding and taking really bizarre beats. Ive been around poker to get variance and to get how boring stuff like this is but I cant takes no more!


Jesus fucking lol. As I was writing this rant I get it in for the chip lead in the 5k grtee (final ever tourny on stats-lol) with 1010 V 77 and am drawing dead on flop.

happiness fading after one outered on two tables in space of 60 seconds. new plan first game watched without cards.

mexico are easily better than south africa i admit just fancy south africa to get something out of game. From footballing point of view be good for this group for south africa to win as it would force them to really go for it against france and Diego Forlan plus ten in last two games.

I'm on the radio again today, from 2 - 3 pm. This week I'll be playing two more songs from Four Tets album, there is love in you. Its really a fantastic album. Caribou and Kaito also both released albums recently, they are not in the same league as Four Tet, but both worth a listen. I'll be playing my favorite song from both albums, Sun & It happens suddenly respectively.

To fill in the gaps I'll have recent releases from Donnacha Costello & Ellen Alien, two recent Todd Terje remixes (From his excellent Remaster of the Universe Album) and some not so recent music from Rachel's, Serge Gainsbourg, Aphex twin and Massive Attack. Enjoy!

Have you heard the Caribou remix of Angel Echoes? It's pretty good. Also I preferred Swim to There Is Love In You, but they are both very good.

Looking forward to the show.

[Closed_Account]

Come on Mexico! My biggest bet in a good while!

I know everyone is going ape about the price in this game but still think itl be a ferocious sweat. Home nation,emotions and pride etc can get something out of even the worst teams. Insta secures a Mexico whitewash.

Anyone else having trouble with Boylesports? I'm trying to transfer €250 from poker to sports and it just keeps hagning when i try the transfer. It won't work going through Boylepoker either because i just keep getting a white screen and their live support button is greyed out

boylesports must be losing a fortune with their joke of a site tbh. I tried for an hour yesterday to place bets and it tilted the bejaysus out of me. Only keeping it open for the poker now. Jokers.

Harry warned off for 6 months.

He seems hard done by. Certainly there was nothing underhand involved from reading that, and I've no reason to suspect he is lying.

Findlay given six-month ban for laying own horse



RACEHORSE owner and professional gambler Harry Findlay has been banned from running his horses for six months after the BHA found him guilty of laying one of his own runners to lose on two occasions. He has also been warned off from visiting racecourses for the full term of the ban.

In an emotional interview on At The Races following the verdict, Findlay said he was "a heartbroken man" over the case and he received support from Betfair, where the bets were made. The betting exchange said it did not believe the punishment was "proportionate or, for that matter, consistent with similar offences in the past".

The BHA, which said Findlay had seven days in which to appeal from receipt of the disciplinary panel's findings, refused to comment further on the case.

Findlay, who owns a large string of horses including 2008 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Denman, in partnership with Paul Barber, claimed the first bet was made in error and the second was to lay off a win bet, but he said he didn't blame the panel over the verdict.

"I'm not going to go out and shout and scream at anybody," Findlay told At The Races. "I'm a heartbroken man."

Findlay was told the verdict on Friday morning following a BHA disciplinary hearing in London on Wednesday. He was found guilty of two charges relating to the laying of Gullible Gordon to lose on Betfair, at Exeter in October 2008 and Chepstow a year later.

Following the verdict, Findlay said: "The first race in question I made a technical error and pressed the wrong button and in the second one, as a professional gambler I had a bet before and then a little bit more on before laying back in running.

"When the BHA's top investigators came down we had a good laugh about it because when Glenn [Gill, a friend] laid it [the horse] had basically won anyway," he told At The Races.

"I didn't check the rules because I'm so busy and the fact I didn't check the rules and see how much trouble I was in is my own fault and I don't blame the panel."

Explaining the punishment, a visibly upset Findlay added: "I have been warned offfrom the racecourse and horses in my mother's colours, apart from the ones at Goodwood tonight, which the professionals at the BHA are trying to sort out to run in Michael Channon's colours, will now race in the Sangster family's colours."

When news broke of the charges against Findlay, the reported figures for the lay bets placed on Betfair on Gullible Gordon at Exeter were to the sum of around £17,638, when he was backed for £80,004. At Chepstow Findlay laid the horse to the sum of £32,033 but backed him for £64,000.

[AndyFatBastard]

I havent placed a bet in close to a year
Holland @ 4/7
Holland v Denmark
Germany @ 1/2
Germany v Australia

These are the two spots I fancy for an upset. Denmark won the group of death in qualifying, comfortably I might add, and this Australia team are capable of beating anyone on their day.

dunphy to souness: so you going to ask me how many world cups i have played in

souness: not today anyway

dunphy: wait till ozzie ardelies comes in and asks you how many world cups you have won

souness: ask him how he got on in his first game at anfield when he had just arrived as a world cup winner
.
.
.
souness: he arrived to a big fanfare, we beat them 7-0

gyles/dunphy: did you kick him

souness: no, he was too quick, got his team mate though (Villa)

[hotspur]

The best tip I can give for the world cup is that if you're going to be watching a match at home then hold off on betting on the outcome until you see how the game is going for a while. These are unknowns to us, take a look first imo.

[The C Kid]

He seems hard done by. Certainly there was nothing underhand involved from reading that, and I've no reason to suspect he is lying.

Karma. Maybe should pay his debts in future, instead of mouthing off about what a great man he is on TV. I respect what he does, but there's nothing wrong with getting it quietly.

was thinking much the same

Heard Dunphy in an interview going on about watching matches with Gyles

10-15 mins in Gyles is telling him how the game is going to end and usually right
(something most could do in fairness for a lot of games)

No, i've never heard it, I think I can imagine what it will be like though! Downloading it now, will listen to it afterwards.

[eagle eye]

I just put some World Cup bets and I thought I should mention this one here. Its my biggest bet of the World Cup. I think this is as easy as it gets.

Italy to beat New Zealand
Paraguay to beat New Zealand
Brazil to beat North Korea
Holland to beat Japan
Spain to beat Honduras
Ivory Coast to beat North Korea

The above pays over 2/1.

[Strewelpeter]

Only WC thing I'm in is the Castrol predictor where you get points based on other peoples predictions (100- % of people who made your selection)
Mexico are 4/1 and USA England draw is 16/1

[Starvin Marvin]

Bets ive done for interest are

Italy, Spain, Holland and England to win their groups, pays almost 3/1.

All the big 8 bar France to qualify, pays almost evens.

[6starpool]

Another 3 pint lunch for me, and back to the pub for the match at 3. Tough life this.

Edit: Just got Spain and USA in a WC sweep, so happy with that.

[eagle eye]

Don't like Italy to win the group, might well do it but have an awful habit of drawing games and don't go overboard against bad teams. If they draw with Paraguay they could well finish 2nd.

[Strewelpeter]

Think I'll have a small bet on Germany to win it outright at 15.5

[MrsFlushdraw]

Time to hide from here for a month methinks.

[NewApproach]

Backed Mexico draw no bet at 4/5 for the game against South Africa later.
