Colonel you hero

kiers47 · 15-03-2014 07:54PM

For a second it seemed like the ref was trying to award that try. It would have been absolutely ridiculous if he did!!!

**** you Bob Dorough, two is the magic number!

Tried have 750 on each but Stan James would "only" lay a monkey. Can't really complain!!

Watched the last 10 minutes, know zero about the game but the second that pass went I automatically shouted "it's forward". Was that blatant

It was blatant alright.
In 20 years watching rugby I have never seen a ref take that much time over an easy decision. He asked the video ref twice was it passed flat and it drifted forward..

Was he having a laugh. I would be in Harvey Normans first thing tomorrow for a new telly if he gave that!!

Great bet BTW!!

Never look at the handicap markets to much in rugby. Don't tend to bet on it to much.

Pops up the odd time, all 3 games today strangely gave the opportunity

I've done it at least 10 times, this is the 1st time I've nailed it

Fairplay Colonel!

I think Ireland are the value in 6N @ 11/2. Granted we haven't got a great tradition of winning it and a few injuries (Loss of SOB is massive) but provinces are flying and Schmidt is a genius. Given proper time with the players, which he now gets, can see him working his magic. We have Wales, who I'd fear most, at home, we wont fear England away and Schmidt has a proven track record of getting results in France and a super knowledge of them from his days coaching there. The front row isn't nearly as weak as it used to be and with real depth and all the main Irish players on form, I think we'll go well, despite the loss of TTT and Bowe who should be fit in the next few weeks.

After the disaster that was the last two days of Cheltenham, this was some small comfort.

United are a cracking price tomorrow to beat Liverpool. Going to have a fair wedge on it.

Could you imagine if Bob's Worth was a non runner yesterday and Lord Windermere won, people would be saying he would have won by half the track

This is a fact.

Horse racing is nonsense at times.

My first Saturday night in since the day Champagne Fever won his beginners chase at Punchestown. This is incredibly boring

Drank n Drank came from an impossible position to glide up for 2nd in the 4.15 lmk. One to keep on side if put up in trip next time.

It seems renaming the thread after a horse due to run isn't having the desired effect.

As much as I'm not a big fan of the scud missile..he was very honorable in not staking his claim for gold cup glory on the giant bolster..I'm pretty sure if on his own didn't violently bump him and jump across him at the last gold cup glory was his
