I was a Harps man back in the day. How long do you support them?

Another Harps man! Been going since mid nineties. Man U got boring around then and started winning everything, no craic in that so I went for certain misery.

I used to do the fanzine at Harps in the mid 2000s.

Swiper, been to the Cross many times, great ground. The away trips are the best thing about the LOI, best thing about following any team really. Actually when I've been to Cork we'd usually do the return trip in the same day! Once went Letterkenny to Cobh and back one Sunday in the back of a Caddy van.

@ Mr P re Boardwalk, dont worry it just gets better and better, season 3 is a bit slow to start but dont despair

GOT likewise really.

Sounds good to me. I've got no problem whatsoever with a show setting down groundwork even if it takes a few episodes and it'll probably need some of that now.

I'm intrigued. I would have been more likely to make up a song about you.

What seasons so I can narrow ya down!

Currently one of my main rivals in the Harps pay league is a Harps legend and 6th I think in the all time LOI goalscorers list....did you play with him?

Edit. I could just look ya up in the FSA Ranking League but that would be cheating!

I seen that ye I played with him at the start of his career sound fella. It was 99-01 midfield.

Sound man all right, helped him run his testimonial last year.

Were you about for the cup run or just after?

I actually though of you first then I was thinking Ray Kenny all right.

Sound man. Have met ya a few times, I'd have been one of the singin, drumming, drinking and roarin brigade! Actually think I remember chatting to you in the bar the Turners Cross after a game one time as you were headin back to Dublin rather than headin up with the rest of the team...or maybe that actually was Ray Kenny too!

At a much, much lower level a few years on

Ye it was probably me small world. Myself, fergal and ray used to come up from dublin.

FHFC · 31-01-2014 01:06AM

You were very quiet!

. Mind you you'd just played a match and I'd probably been drinking from Donegal to Cork so maybe it just seemed that way...

Man that is mental. We had some team back then compared to now, and some crowds. You'd have played in that cup match we beat shels in Ballybofey with about 3 or 4,000 there. Or did you go the year before?

You were there when we went down too actually I think?

I ended up on the Board of Directors for about 5 years in later 2000s.

Danger781 · 31-01-2014 01:21AM

Have a feeling I'm going to come away this weekend with nothing.

I probably didnt understand a word you were saying. I always found the donegal accent difficult especially a donegal man with a load of pints in him:pac:. Ye it was a very strong team the year I signed but there were cutbacks the year after that and that was the year we went down. I was gone for that cup game you are talking about.

Sunderland looks a really good price but Palace seriously scares me there, brave man!

Yeah at 4/1 I couldn't say no to Sunderland. No Remy, no Cabaye.

Interesting stats:
Newcastle have conceded first in their last 3 EPL games.
Newcastle United haven’t won against Sunderland since August 2011.
Fabio Borini has scored in each of his two Premier League appearances against Newcastle United.

I'm going for under 2.5 goals in the Palace game. I think Palace are going to keep it tight and Arsenal will struggle. They are missing alot of players.

Yeah they won't make it easy for them alright! I just don't see them winning. Under 2.5 goals is a good shout I reckon.

8-10 · 31-01-2014 04:30PM

I actually quite like the Liverpool & Arsenal 6/4 to win double. PP have it as a special.

SpaceCowb0y · 31-01-2014 04:41PM

All my bets this weekend are proudly brought to you by Bud Light, Soda Stream, Audi and GoDaddy

I think I might double it up with Chelsea City under 2.5 goals.

A few bets I've done:

Double on Under 2.5 goals in Man City Chelsea and Palace Arsenal. 4.4/1.

Treble on Under 2.5 goals in West Ham Swansea, Hull Spurs and Cardiff Norwich. 5.1/1.

Lucky 15 Anytime Scorer on:
Emmanuel Adebayor
Christian Benteke
Robin van Persie
Jay Rodriguez

And my crazy morning bet with odds of 12.1/1. West Ham and Sunderland to win.

I've also gone with Cavan, Monaghan and Tyrone to win in their League matches. 3.8/1.

KevIRL · 01-02-2014 10:45AM

Great auld weekend of sport this. EPL games on the box, football league starting, superbowl, darts streaming on youtube and of course the start of the 6 Nations. Bring it on

I like the look of West Ham/Cardiff double @6/1 on the PP powerplay special

I'm not sure about Cardiff though. Norwich have picked up a couple of decent results lately.
