Someone was looking for this I think.

Much pricier than expected, tough decision.

@Keane

You must have been v happy with Barry John's performance yesterday. He has started the season very well. Kicked some super points and played very well overall. I thought we might be in trouble at HT but they kicked on well in the second half.

Yeah really happy considering the circumstances.

I think he was a bit hard done by in the first place to have been dropped. James seemingly had gotten ahead of him in the pecking order before yesterday. I'm obv biased, but I think BJ has offered more from general play and link up wise compared to James, but he's still got his work cut out because somehow James just looks a bit more like what people are used to a Kerry corner forward looking like. I think Curtin was just in there to be looked at and is behind both of them at the moment but I think he's really talented and could have something to offer as well.

IMO, Barry will be really unlucky not to nail down a place for the championship. His kicking yesterday and against Dublin is an aspect of his game that's really come on, he's now kicking scores from somewhat difficult positions and that's vital to go along with the workhorse stuff he was already good at/known for. His distribution and decision making have been very good as well, I can really see him doing a job for us floating around between the half and full forward lines and linking play up.

Very exciting times all in all, fingers crossed he stays fit and healthy and we'll see him back in Croke Park in September again.

Just doing a survey up for a minor dissertation on bookmakers and advertising. Will be putting it up here in a while. Would it be bad to ask in it how much would you lay in bets per week? Naturally the results would be confidential - Maybe broad ranges?

Ranges are good. One thing about gambling research and surveying amounts is that different people interpret questions differently.

For example if you ask how much a person "bets" in a week some will give their total stake amount, some will give their net loss, some will give you a figure that they put aside for betting of a week (e.g. €50) which may have no connection to total stake amount if they go on a winning streak (i.e. they actually staked €300 even though their original week roll was €50) etc.

Just something to keep in mind, defining in the survey exactly what you mean when you ask about betting amounts will help avoid these differing interpretations.

nope it said bill in my name so i had recently scanned a mastercard bill i needed for something else and i banged that out to them. I wouldnt mind but i sent mi driving licence as proof of id and it has my address on it. My whole roll is locked on there and ive a few days off with nothing to do, so frustrating.

Just as a matter of interest,why are they only asking you for documents now?Your roll is with them,so i presume you have been using MB for some time.Did you request a limit increase or something?

I'm asking this,as after moving house last year,i never changed my address on any sites.My passport has since expired and my driving licence is due for renewal too and both will have the new address.Utilities are all in herself's name.I'm just wondering will they be looking for new documents from me too....hmmmm

Withdrawing a little more frequently is the only reason I can think of to be honest. Pain in my hole though because i withdrew all my funds back onto moneybookers from any sites before this happened. So no poker for a couple of weeks unless i can convince them to take something else as proof of adddress

You can get your statement online.I use AIB and can print one off.I presume most banks have this facility.

My biggest problem with the walking dead of not enough zombies being hit in the face with random sharp objects seems to be getting fixed now.

All anyone wants to see is zombies getting killed in ever increasingly bloody ways and some hottie with big cans running away from zombies.

Most off the characters are now so wooden and crap it is tough to see them being able to develop at ll so might as well just kill them off and run into a one handed Merl.

mouldy boots also suffice

normal confortable runners will do fine also!

It has too much filler, goes nothing nothing nothing then BOOM action galore! Last two episodes have been decent but this one was very meh.

Read a spoiler for the rest of the season was fucking sucks, thought it was about the episode that just aired

I see they have cast somebody for some big new character I assume will be coming in next season, read it HERE

Dale was wrecking my head in that episode, delighted

On the subject of Walking dead, it took me about 15 episodes to realize its piss. First few episodes were good, but it is getting progressively worse the last while. I think almost every character in it annoys me in some way or another, send in the "walkers" and end this shit.

"Those Who Play in The Backs"

here is a rugby history which might explain Lloyds view of the sport!!


It is largely unknown to players and followers of the modern game rugby, that in the very early days it started off purely as a contest for forwards in opposition in line-outs, scrums, rucks and mauls.

This pitted eight men of statuesque physique, of supreme fitness and superior intelligence in packs against one another.

In those days, the winner was the pack that had gained most set pieces. The debasement of the game began when backs were introduced. This occurred because a major problem was where to locate the next scrum or line-out. Selecting positions on the ground for these had become a constant source of friction and even violence.

The problem was resolved through a stratagem of employing forward rejects, men of small stature and limited intelligence, to select positions on the field from where, when in receipt of the ball they could be guaranteed to drop it in a random pattern but usually, as far from the last set piece as possible. Initially these additional players were entirely unorganized but with the passing of time they adopted positions.

For instance, the half-back (also known as the scrum-half). He was usually the smallest and least intelligent of the backs whose role was simply to accept the ball and pass it on. He could easily (given his general size) have been called a quarter forward or a ball monkey but then tolerance and compassion are the keys to forward play and the present inoffensive description was decided upon.

The fly-half plays next to the half-back and his role is essentially the same except that, when pressured he usually panics and kicks the ball. Normally, he is somewhat taller and slightly better built than the scrum-half and hence his name. One-eighth less and he would have been a half-back, three-eighths more and he might well have qualified to become a forward.

The centres were opportunists who had no specific role to play but who were attracted to the game by the glamour associated with forward packs. After repeated supplication to the forwards for a role in the game they would be told to get out in the middle and wait for the ball. Thus, when asked where they played, they would reply "in the centre". And they remain to this day, opportunists and scroungers, men so accustomed to making excuses for bad hands and errant play that most become lawyers or real estate agents.

You may ask, why wingers? The answer is simple. Originally these were players who had very little ability and were the lowest in the backline pecking order. They were placed far from the ball and given the generally poor handling by the inside backs, were rarely given the opportunity to even touch the ball. This is basically why, through a process of natural selection, they became very fast runners and developed the ability to evade tackles.

But to get back to the name. The fact that they got so little ball led to the incessant flow of complaints from them and the eventual apt description "whingers". Naturally, in the modern game, the name has been adapted to become more acceptable.

Lastly, the full-back. This was the position given to the worst handler, the person least able to accept or pass the ball, someone who was always in the way.. the name arose because, infuriated by the poor play invariably demonstrated by that person, the call would come "send that fool back" and he would be relegated to the rear of the field.

So there you have it.

The fact is that if a side does not have eight men of statuesque physique, of supreme fitness and superior intelligence then they might as well play soccer.
