    Some great responses so far. I was going to take the nominations then poll each award but there's really no need. I'll just add up all the votes and and do a winners and runners up list for each.

    Keep the nominations coming for the next few weeks.

    pffft, i'm not biased i'm just right most of the time, big difference :D

    for example, i'd imagine its my love for Rafa and sticking up for him last year when the knives were out that has tipped me over the edge.....but league position this year may mean i was onto something ;)

    Most Biased Poster - All of us

    Most Likely To Be Banned In 2009 - ???

    Best Poster -
    Nominees - LuckyLoyd: knowledgeable, objective, reasonable and a good take on the betting side of things.

    Mike65: concise, to the point, factual, timely, informative

    Mr. Alan: I think people are doing him an injustice saying he is biased - he may have Liverpool tinted spectacles, but I've always found him fair and happy to accept when he's wrong unlike a lot of people. Also, seems to have some good sources, provides a few breaking stories etc.

    I look forwrad to reading these 3's posts.

    Most Successful Shit Stirrer of the Year - ???

    Thread of the Year - ???

    Funniest Moment/Post of the Year - One quiet Saturday afternoon, a minor squabble erupted, escalated and culminated in someone writing in massive font asking soemone else to take a dive in the deep end of an empty pool or something to that effect.

    Services To Irish Football - esteban is the only LOI fan that comes to mind that could discuss Irish football without being bitter about English football, GAA, Irish football team, Sporting Fingal....In fact the biterness of the other LOI fans is more of a disservice to Irish football IMHO.

    Rant of the Year - ???

    Best Newcomer - Have to say charlie mchugh purely for getting me into Entourage - his comment that it might be better thanm the Sporanos was the clincher - went out and got the box set and am hooked. Like Ari, it's pure gold :pac:.

    Poster Who Always Defends The Indefensible - Too many people don't like to get off the high horse and say, 'O sorry I didn't know that / got that wrong' A bit more of that would make this a much better forum.

    Poster Who Left Too Early - ? Kdjacl
