    I made it absolutely clear last night in connection with World Cup talk
    Beasty wrote: »
    In the meantime I have not (yet at least) said that World Cup talk is banned completely in this thread - however if you really want to discuss football then we have a forum for that, and if you wish to discuss football betting we also have a forum for that. If the World Cup becomes the dominant topic in an "off-topic" thread it's not much different from the one I closed (for very good reasons that were explained in that thread) yesterday

    Now if anyone cares to read the site FAQs, the very first one states
    Post in a forum where the subject is relevant.

    You should put posts where they belong. A library where people put books in any section they want will soon become unusable. Resist the temptation to say "I'm not going to post in the right forum because more people read THIS forum;” all that will happen is that your topic will immediately go off topic, you will be slated and the moderator will move the post to the right place and probably infract you. You may get fewer responses on the correct forum, but they will be far higher "worth". You want Quality, not quantity.
    So extensive discussion of the World Cup or indeed any sport other than Horse Racing is not permitted. If you want to comment on David Beckam's latest hairdo that's fine. If you want to discuss the merits or otherwise of Cristiano Ronaldo's free-kick technique go to the Soccer forum. If you want to discuss the odds of Brazil winning the World Cup head off to Football betting.

    Now just to make this point one more time. To date only one poster has PM'd me to discuss anything that has happened in this thread over the past 24 hours. This is not a Feedback thread, and further discussion of what is and what is not permitted should be taken to PM. No more warnings.

    Got some nice ante post bets on for Cheltenham and various other sports today:

    Meeting to go ahead doubled with Uruguay to win the world cup
    Meeting to go ahead doubled with Lukaku top PL scorer at the WC
    Meeting to go ahead doubled with Mexico to qualify for their group

    Opinions?

    Doubled meeting to go ahead with spain to win. I really think cheltenham will go ahead next year and spains squad is still unreal even with xavi on the down.

    I would certainly expect the meeting to go ahead next year but what price are you getting?? Will the price be substantially shorter by December?Assuming the price is very short, I would not want to be waiting until next March to collect on winning WC bets - you'll be tying up a rake of cash that could be handy between now and then!

    Absolutely no value for 27m...just the perfect PL midfielder in terms of passing and end product, style and substance. :rolleyes: Thank fuck United didn't sign him, wouldn't want him getting in Fellani's way.. :(

    Just witnessed about 15 little scumbags on the red luas line whip a pair of ray bans of some harmless guys head..
    Your left with a choice to bite your lip or get involved and find yourself in a scenario where it's only going to end up one way..I swear to god if they were my glasses I would have died today..I wouldn't have stopped swinging until they popped out of no where...
    Little knackers like that should be exterminated

    I use public transport Probably on a daily basis and that's undoubtedly the worst thing about it. Plenty of little pricks out there looking for fights. Never worth giving them what they want though.

    Last warning - if this thread becomes a running commentary of the World Cup I will ban all further discussion of it and instruct anyone who wants to discuss it to head over to the Soccer Forum or perhaps the AH thread

    Why would it come from private interests when they know that the goverment will back it up in the end.

    Yeah think its a cracking bet, it was my max 5 pt bet after lots of study, gotta love eamon as he said there the cost of the football used in the match equals the weekly wage for the working class in brazil.
