Had a couple of good ew's placed that hot back some of the damage done on bobs worth.
I thought at one stage deputy dan was gonna hold on would have been a good day if he had but not to be.

Onwards and upwards anyway. Hopefully will have a good Aintree seen as I am making my first grand national trip!!

Pretty good! Did well the first 3 days and Tammys Hill saved me today from total disaster!

Not a word of a lie... a guy early in the week comes into the shop where the brother works and told them to have a few bob ew on Elliots in the first on Friday. Roll on today and some elder lady comes in and said she was told to back Lac Fontana. His work colleague said he kinda fancied LW as he won the RSA last year and would go up the hill! The brother hadn't backed a horse in Cheltenham thus far and proceeded with 3x 10ew on the three and a 5ew treble at odds of 9/1,12/1 and 28/1. Got a cheque this evening from PP's for €20,055.
He listened to the GC on the radio in the shop whilst I was giving him a commentary for the last furlong over the phone.
So much for studying the form... he is still shaking.

Rant over!

I stayed away the last few days, bar this thread where the regulars seemed to be posting

Colonel Sanders

With a lot of big price winners you often hear of some pin sticker in the offices getting a lucky Yankee or lucky 15 up

Any stories out there? The bookies usually aren't slow to get their pound of free publicity

Something about Mary. Classic

sexton for man of the match if it comes down to kicking,iam hoping to f1ck that we will hammer fu1ck out of them.its just a shame we got beat by the english

Johner

Not a fan of Rugby, think it's a load of shite. Horse Racing, Football, GAA, Boxing, Darts and a bit of Golf/Tennis and playing with myself does me grand.

Hopefully not,that team masquerading as "Ireland" is embarrassing to me.no Irish national anthem,no Irish tricolour flying! Disgusting.I don't blame the players,but to call it the "Irish" team is surely a case for the trades description act.

Up the free state re pub a lick

Ireland is an island and this team represents the entire island unlike the re pub a lick team. C'mon BOD

I do hate that ****e they play before the games alright.

I would agree with you for the most part droidman but I love that the island can play as a whole in rugby.

Johner

What time is the Ireland match on?

Imhof Tank

Flags and anthems have a lot to answer for

The sight of Cheltenham winners draped in the tricolour for instance is pathetic

Fair point,but for example,in the nz world cup some years ago I seen the USA team and their fans belting out their national anthem it embarrassed me when the so called Irish team didn't sing my national anthem.I know all about the politics of the set up,but as simplistic as it sounds,they are either Ireland or they are not.

Simplistic is an understatement Droidman

If you know all about the politics then you know there are 2 tribes on this rock of ours - the rugby team is the embodiment of unity, don't be cribbing and complaining about what songs they sing before the match.

OK so it is a fact that they have to go out there and sing that awful Irelands Call ............. and then we support them as 15 sons of paddy's green shamrock shore, yes?

We are a minnow going for a championship in a bear pit. Little support would be nice.

Rugby? Rugby? Lol
Played by twats and followed by even bigger twats. It's a social occasion. Stadiums packed full of people that couldnt name 6 players.
Pathetic.
Provincial fans probably know more, 11 maybe.

Bandwagon.com and will phase out in a few more years.

Irelands call? Is there anything more cringeworth in sport? ****ing awful.

Good man droidy.

It's still ****.

It seems that users are still ignoring on thread warnings. From now on there will be no further warnings and bans will be issued for those who choose to ignore warnings.

Slatts troll.

I have played and followed the oval ball game since 1975.

I am confident that I can name at least 15 of the players tomorrow.

Do you know what a spear tackle is?

In fairness he has a point, seems a few people i know woke up rugby fans last saturday and attended their first ever rugby game while letting everyone on FB know about it every 5 mins, i don't like rugby but have mates who i would class as proper fans and they even hate this 'new age' rugby crowd

I don't really know what you mean by the new age crowd - unless you mean the ladies that is!

My mother has never been to Lansdowne Road for example. That would have been anathema to the old man. Yet the wife is a regular at the RDS, Aviva and has been at Cardiff, Stade de France and Twickenham matches in recent years. Make of that what you will.
