    balls. I was sure on sunday morn that after all the shenanigans that it had finally came down to a two horse race with trap being the slight fav.

    im in a bit trouble if it's not trap or venables.

    last time i ever play in a manager market.

    I'm in the same boat. Deffo ignore anyone who says "I konw a lad who works in the FAI/saw xyz at the the airport/friend of robbie Keane etc" as its all horse manure.

    Dagleash is still 20/1 on Betfair. I feel pretty confident it will be either Trapp or El Tel.

    IF it is Billy Davies I'll be out of pocket but I don't think it will be.He's still around 5.0 on BF if you wanted to put a "saver" on him.

    I was tempted to do a saver but no can do. If I was to do a*fukcin*nother one then I'd have to put even more on both Trap and Tel too and I'm in as deep as I can go so... fook it.

    The fella who gave me this tip is a good mate and he's in for more than me. In fairness to him, he got two other manager tips (Big Sam and Quinn) and it was all champagne and good times after each so c'est la vie.

    Just going to keep the fingers crossed that it's trap or el tel and I'll get out with a break-even.

    edit- one good thing about this market is if you've had a punt you're certainly getting a run for your money!

    I can't believe they didn't contact Luca Vialli. He'd be a great appointment and they could make a packet on him first

    dont forget last time , steve staunton became big favourite , then drifted out to 16/1 before being selected quite some time later !!

    Ive put 8 euro on brady for my work-mate who was talking to somebody who drinks in the baggot inn , and was suposedly talking to jack charlton after the fai awards the other day. jack didnt talk about it but yer man who drinks there thinks it'll be brady , and that was enough for my workmate .

    i warned him off..... but he insisted !! 8 squid @30 on Bf.

    i just thinking of the guy who said he seen George Graham buying an ireland scarf in marathon sports in the ilac centre....... lump on :)

    Trapattoni, 68, who managed his own country between 2000 and 2004, is now the preferred candidate of the FAI. Terry Venables, who has already been interviewed, is the association's standby choice, and Billy Davies will also be given a chance to make a case for the job, although the latter is understood to be a rank outsider.

    looks like your safe....

    Happy with this, tidy little profit, hopefully betfair will settle the market sooner rather than later as I have a good bit tied up in it.

    Would you be in anyway supprised if the FAI fooked up? Missed their flight? or forgot to bring a pen for him to sign the contract?

    If that's the case we should be lumping on then? Anyone risking it?

    I lumped on yesterday at 1.24 then I got cold feet later and laid half of it off at 1.17. The thing is though, I'd say it's about 97% certainty (this precision figure calculated from X where X = hunch).

    Still, I do think it's a great price for what, by all available info, appears to be a done deal.
