The ****ing gaul of the guy whinging about not being allowed to compete against able bodied athletes and then whinging about some guy whose blade gave him an unfair advantage, horrible **** if you ask me.

7/4 guilty is free money, allow me to set the scene:

Someone broke into my house, walked passed our bed without waking either of us, locked themselves in the bathroom and then I heard them. I put my legs on which took about 30 seconds during which time I did not realise my girlfriend was not in bed nor did I try to tell her someone had broken in and I was going to investigate with a gun.

Then I fired a few shots through the door and at no point did my girlfriend say I am in the bathroom or scream and say stop shooting Oscar, I only realised it was her after I had fired four shots through a locked door. Oh and I never fired shots out of a car sunroof or at a restaurant in wanton craziness with firearms. Three incidents of lunacy with guns, they should probably test him for drugs.

Sounds like a clear case of not guilty :rolleyes:

Hope the prick never sees the light of day again.

hes guilty all right and she was a stunner.i bet was was going to leave him

Tbh I'd be less likely to bet with them with their OTT marketing. Getting a bit annoying at this stage.

Have no interest in the outcome of the case myself. But hats off to the marketing department I guess, novelty event betting like this places them right near the top of all the Cheltenham news on the RP website(exactly what they want with 2 weeks to the festival).

FWIW PP does not care less either about this case. Like you said with cheltenham coming up it's all about having the name out there.

I presume they couldnt do this in the Irish or UK so I guess they thought they might get away with it being in SA. Doubt there would be much money for it in all honesty.

Agree with you. Its getting annoying at this stage and that hunt ball incident last year was extremely stupid.

The worst incident was the betting on the new Pope. That was bordering on blasphemy.

Apparently it's going to be champagne fever in the Arkle, would have been announced earlier but they were waiting for 100% confirmation he would run.

kiers47

David moyes being smashed to be next pl manager to get the boot. Was 14/1 this morning best price 10/11 now.

Seen this on betfair Cheltenham preview tonight streamed live at 800pm

A great nights craic with Tony Martin, Bryan Cooper & others tonight in the Armagh City Hotel..streamed live on toals.co.uk from 8pm.
Last year, Tony tipped up both Ted Veale & Benefficient.

UrbanSea

Lads this is really annoying me. Anyone else waiting on Toals' preview? What horse is that in the picture below it in Derek Smith's colours, beating a horse (possibly Delegator???). Possibly Elusive Pimpernel in behind on the left?

kiers47

Master craftsman.

It is definitely Delegator.

Looks like Ascot anyway so
Possibly the St James Palace 08 was it? or 09 maybe?

UrbanSea

Cheers kiers was doing my head in.


Missed a winner there, Self Employed was one I picked out on Tuesday night, missed the price this morning so left him :rolleyes:


No harm quite possibly my bet of the year to date entered at the weekend.

Delegator was one of my favourite horses in training when he was with Brian Meehan.
Part of a useless database of information stored in my head..

That ole Toal buck says "I'm almost certain that Corrin Wood goes in 4miler and Derek O'Connor rides him, that's a tip in itself".

Corrin Wood has been confirmed for RSA and Derek O'Connor has been confirmed for Shotgun Paddy in 4miler.


Some solid info, that.
