Good to see aftertiming is alive and well here on FSA

Proof of my big winnings for the day :pac:

Ok, so had to google aftertiming but here ya go!

It was actually kinda aftertiming as I landed into the pub at 3.30 to realise the 3.20 race hadn't started cause of the 2 false starts so I stuck the bet on well after the race shoulda been started....

Anyone wanting a distraction from the PL this weekend and fancying a flutter, the LOI is back in town and there can be some great value available, especially if you have the odd bit of behind the scenes info.

The odds for this weekends matches are below. Some good bets are:

Harps to beat a young Cobh side who will travel from Cobh to Donegal that day, we have started well and despite missing a couple of players would be pretty confident of a win.

Cork who beat Derry away last week to overcome Bray at home.

Galway, a well financed strong team at home to Shamrock Rvrs B, who we beat 3-0 in Tallaght last week, they are essentially an U19 side, with the option to play a few first teamers if they need gametime.

Longford, big budget, strong team away to Wexford Youths who are as the name suggests a young pretty much amatuer side.

Any my favourite of all, Drogheda to beat Derry at home. Roddy Collins, the biggest bull**** artist in all of Irish football who Derry hilariously appointed as manager has got off to an awful start, lost at home last week, rumoured to have fallen out with several key players including their star Goalie who is rumoured not to be in the squad for this one, replaced by their number 2 who is our keeper from last year and very very raw at this level. Current and former players airing grievances on social media, even descending to to the comedy gold of James McClean posting on the Clubs fans forum calling people idiots. 23/10 is a massive price and all this is wonderfully entertaining to a Harps fan.

I've got money on Harps/Galway/Longford/Sligo accum at 5/1 or so as well as Harps/Derry/Galway which gives around 8/1



I'm no expert but am following a thread on this on another LOI forum and these are the tips I'd highlight this week.

Hi all,

Bit off topic but for any poker players out there I've started up a new poker forum - http://pokermob.com/poker-forum/

Doing a bit of a soft launch today but if you sign up over the next month you go into a draw for some decent prizes, the main one being a £500 GUKPT Main Event seat. Anyone familiar with the Hendon Mob will know Joe Beevers and Ross & Barny Boatman, who I'll be working closely with.

Separate to poker, I'll be running a fantasy football league on the forum next season (free to enter) with some cracking prizes on offer like seats to live tournaments. Depending on interest I'll probably look into a cash league also.

Thanks

De activated activated my Facebook account two days ago, didn't delete it as I use the messenger app and need it as my son never has credit and uses that to message me .

Hopefully I can stay off the bloody thing now.

I was off it for about 5 weeks there, the first week or so is the hardest, well it was for me anyway as i instinctively go to type facebook in to the address bar when i turn on the laptop but you snap out of that after a few days! Signed back in last weekend and i'm constantly on the thing again! Going to switch it off again tomorrow until i finish college! Such a productivity killer!

Too right it is and the bloody app is worse, constant checking for information that has no real bearing on how I go about my day.

Horrid event that was aside from the money part...some mares need to be forced to wear make up...

SpaceCowb0y

I have to say this whole no make up thing in fairness has raised a lot of money but it's also made me aware of exactly who i know that really is naturally good looking and also that average or below average women can turn themselves into stunners with a bit of slap! There are a few birds who if they took there face off the next morning i genuinely wouldn't recognise! The main thing i noticed is how tired looking they all are... false advertisement that's what i say ha!

Ah jaysis lads, keep it classy. Some good money being raised for a good cause and for once one of these Facebook fads is actually doing some good.

Fair play to the girlies for having the guts to stick the pics up I say

Yeah, in fairness I look brutal without makeup on; then again I look even worse with makeup on given I'm a 14 stone 6 foot 2 hairy man

You can't argue with the money raised.

We should have a Boards FSA stick your mug up and donate!

Once, while snorkelling in Fiji and I got caught the wrong side of a reef. But that's probably not the context you're asking about.

True Detective with Matt McConnaughey and Woddy Harrelson is a good show. I'm up to episode 7. Only the finale left.

First two episodes watched. I've heard people say it's better than Breaking Bad. I've seen nothing to suggest that that's the case but it's a good show so far. Episode 3 tonight.

Brilliant show and great acting from the 2 lads. I felt the last few episodes weren't quite as strong.

I thought the last episode was very creepy. Had me on the edge of my seat. I do get what you are saying though. I thought they suddenly realised they had alot to fit into the last couple of episodes and started rushing.

Started watching The Following as my latest series now. Seems decent enough. Only watched one episode so far though.

Game of Thrones back in just over a week too.

Here's this weekends big money gamble! :pac:

Decent LOI bets, Longford (-1) to beat Cobh, Drogs to beat Bohs, Cork to beat Athlone and maybe, St Pats to beat Derry (I did DNB).

All 4 accum at 6/1.
