[whyno]

time for a vent......

BoylePoker points...

I usually cash them in as I cant play the 'freerolls' due to start times...

I do though think thats bad value though as you only get $1 per thousand

Why cant they allow them to be used to buy into regular mtts at least?

same as cashing them in but feels better

Or even have a super duper 20,000-50,000 points or more buy in special?

I tried to see if I could sell them but cant ....

anyone else suffering point frustration ????

But the 3k freerole is great value for those points and super soft. The points are a pain in the ass but at least youve a chance to turn them into some sort of profit with the freeroles. Pity they dont have some sort of shop also.

[TheDrunkenOne]

defo good value but i dont/cant start playing usually till after they have started

[whyno]

defo good value but i dont/cant start playing usually till after they have started

Just reg early for them Normally half the field gone in first hour and structure does be good enough for you to recover. Its normally the same few that do well in all the boyle tourneys anyway.
1k points for a dolah is shite though so its best to use them for freeroles and hopefully save them for the rainy day and that you cash in 100k points and spin it up to €10k when in the rats some night. Stuff of dreams

lol @ Giles ragging on Alonso. I think he has been Spain's best player. Then going on to claim he sometimes doesn't see the pass He has played some wonderful balls in that half.

Alonso is doing a very clever 5th level fake in this game.
Pointing to pass the ball backwards has the Germans on the front foot and subsequently they are missing the inevitible Xavi/Ineista pass forward.

Pedro you greedy little cunt, time for fabregas imo

He was obviously trying to secure his final space by scoring himself rather than pass to the better placed Torres who is in competition with hom for a spot.

Klose tripped first before that and then yellow it had to be for Puyol's lunge on Schweinsteiger.

What was the final score Kev?

What's with Dunphy repeatingly saying that Spain should have had a penalty in the first half?
Even if the ref deemed it a foul it was clearly outside the box and he repeated it after every replay which made it even worse?

Here's hoping for the double on Sunday. Also going for our first ever back to back Munster Minor titles

[cooker3]

That was lovely by Spain; they totally dominated the Germans. I expect an exact replica of tonights match in the final. Spain to dominate possession and bag the winner in the last half hour.

The only chance of a good game is an early goal or an early bunch of yellow cards for Van Bommel and De Jong. Neither will probably happen.

Does anyone here know if you buy a one way train ticket online from Mallow to Dublin, can you pick up the ticket in any station i.e. Heuston?

I'm going to a wedding down that direction on Friday and will have a lift down but need the train back and would like to have the ticket beforehand in case I'm tight for time or something.

Van Bommel for the first yellow is my nap for the final, can't find any price yet but he's living on borrowed time and i'm sure he'll be looking to lay down an early marker. Really lucky to stay on the pitch in his last two games.

Yes. When you purchase a ticket online you can select which station (choice of all stations) to pick it up from. I know this cause I just bought one for tomorrow for myself.

Was there a lad called darren foley playing or that got a run for waterford ? If so how did he go ?

I hope so. Part of me wonders will the zeitgeist about Van Bommel getting away with it get to the ref who wants to make sure he clamps down.

But I don't know, I think Van Bommel probably has some some dodgy pics of Sepp or something. It's incredible how he has gotten away with it.

He didnt get a run, he's on the panel though.

Thoughts for Sunday Kev?

I haven't been paying close attention this year but Cork surely are worthy favourites, and a Waterford win would be a shock result?

I'm on 770 and I picked Holland, Spain and Spain to win! I wonder does the lad in front have it all correct so far to win the million. I presume not.

Cork will be rightly favourites, and all the hype and build up will be about them. This will suit Waterford down to the ground though. The big danger as always is our full back line, but if we get that right then our chances are very good. Cork are good, but Waterford wont fear them, these teams have served up many a classic over the past 10 or so years and I can see another close game.

I've been critical of Davy Fitz over the past couple of years but he should be praised for a few things - This Waterford team tend to win any game thats close going into the last 10 mins or so, something that wasnt always there. Also despite all the talk of them being an old team they are actually not all that old, he hasnt been afraid to give young guys like Richie Foley, Noel Connors, Maurice Shanahan and Liam Lawlor their chance.

I wont be punting big on it, but the 2/1 about Waterford looks nice. And I'll also back a Waterford Minor&Senior double.

Cant wait gonna be an epic day. Minor final at 2, Senior final at 4 then hightail it back down home in time for the World Cup final

Ah right kind of guessed he was only on the panel.

si senior, if u order it online, saving yourself 50% of the price if u do it 24 hours in advance, then u can get mallow to print ur ticket out if u have a reference number. don't fuck it up biatch.

Christ Waterford +3 @ 10/11 is great value.

In all the games they played betwee 2002 and 2007 (7 in all) there was only a total of 4 points between the teams, and only once was the vitory margin 3 points or more

what is an aib code card?

i keep getting e-mails from the aib and the latest is about this code card thats about to expire
i don't ever open them as i don't have any business with the aib except a c/c
but i never signed up for a code card so how can it be expireing?

Definite phishing scam. Just received the same e-mail a few minutes ago. Haven't had an account with them since about 1986

I've got it, ta. I picked to collect it at Heuston, and will do this tomorrow as I work very close by to it.

[Sledgejammer]

I can see Van Bommel picking up an early yellow for something very minor with the referee trying to make a point and stamp his authority on the match. That'd make things interesting...

Spain finally showed up, just in time too. I didn't see the match on RTE but I'd drop Alsonso too tbh, I think the system would work far more fluidly with only one defensive mid fielder and Xavi playing deeper in his natural position and Fabregas on the pitch. If I had to then choose just one DM I'd take biscuits over him, he's better defensively and is far more in tune with the rest of the team as he plays with most of them at club level especially the defenders and mid fielders who he'll mainly be exchanging passes with. Alonso is a great player and if I had to sign just one of them for a random club it'd almost certainly be him but I think Spain would be better off without him at the moment tbh, despite his fantastic ability to spray a sexy sexy pass.
