Re beer. Haven't a clue, I was a little intoxicated on that Friday night! FlashJonny is to blame though.
Got to be a close run thing who dislikes Billy Davies the most between us I guess?
Prob us , as at least we gave you £3 million for possibly the worst centre back the Premier League has ever seen.
You always seem to hammer us at Deepdale. You're right though, Preston played some really nice football a few years back.
Anyhow I see you are a Derby fan, good friend of mine started the one and only Derby County Supporters club in Ireland! Infact the only english league match Ive ever been at was Derby County away to Tranmere Rovers long time ago! It finished 4-3 to Tranmere and it was Dave Kitsons first game (he scored in the first minute!) It was an amazing game though. Hope Hendrick develops into a good player for you!
Good luck at the tables

Sign of the times unfortunately. As soon as bigger clubs come calling players are off. I used to get really annoyed at players jumping ship as soon as they have a good season but unfortunately if you want to get to the top as a footballer you aint gonna be able to do it at clubs like Rovers or Derby, so we gotta get used to it. Although, it does sound bizarre the amount you are selling them for after they have had a good season. Normally get a lot more than you paid unless you have hugely overpaid for them in the first place.
The games been ruined by money. It’s such a sad state of affairs that it will be almost impossible for any teams out of the top 4 or 5 to win the premiership in the next 50 years without ridic money being thrown at them. We will never see our teams do it in our lifetime. Unfortunately i wasn’t the biggest football fan when we did it 1995. I was a Rovers fan but didn’t take much notice. Took part in all the celebrations though
, but gutted i missed the only time we will ever be able to do it.
Thats why i am quite looking forward to the championship. It’s more competitive and something to play for. Anyone (well a lot of teams) can have a shout of getting to Playoffs and a possible trip to Wembley. Look at what teams like Norwich etc are playing for this year.
So you going Sunday then? Should be a good game. I would say good luck but i wouldn’t mean it. Rhodes hat-trick please!

It was about a year ago i first came across the forum and started posting.
I had heard about it probably mentioned on the show and wasn't sure what to expect, but definatly wanted to have a lookin. I seen Lamberts thread, and read a bit and seen there were a few hands, so i ended up posting a hand asking for feedback on it lol I think that was my second post, had no idea where anything was or about the various sections. I might have to go back and see what the hand was, don't think i ever got any feedback haha, people were probably wondering who's this hijacking a thread.
I don't remember how, but i soon felt at home amongst the community, and in my year on here i would say i've been made very welcome and really enoyed it.
I don't know what it was like to prior 1 year ago. I would say recently there has been a few threads that have went a bit ott, there has been some negativity and even insulting posts. In my opinion this is a minority.
I really do think it is a fantastic community for vast majority of people that come here. Of course on a public forum there will be spats/ negativity but feel this is a small percentage overall.
Someone like CCF for example, at first i was wondering what the guy was all about. He posted a hand saying how bad is the play at 4nl, and i posted a hand where i had bluffed him a belter. He never had a go at me and took it in good spirit. There is some people he riles, but it's just his sense of humour. And someone like him, who goes against the grain, imo is a decent addition. He does have a different sense of humour and can beblnt but that's just who he is.
While some stuff recently has been poor, i would say overall it is a very positive community. Which i wouldn't have believed 1 year ago if you had told me that about an internet forum, where there is relative annonimity.
They were all I played for a number of years on Full Tilt until Black Friday.
Getting used to the variance again. Sure, it's an incredibly small sample but feeling pretty good about it right now. Only playing the small ones £5.50's and £11's but doing ok.
Just played a couple tonight and came 2nd in a £5.75 BH for just over £90 total. Bit frustrating as had 2/3rd's of the chips in play with 4 left but lost a couple of flips.
....
First game of the season yesterday and looks like until we get a new manager we're going nowhere.
We have a good midfield and attack but can't defend.
Clearly then it makes sense to decide to try and defend for 45 mins after going 1-0 up!
Surprisingly it didn't work out.
....
Good to see PatWalshh back on the forum.
At least now I won't be the only one you can put TL:DR on my posts.
Played the £30 rebuy with no success. Fairly standard exit hand, so no complaints and then moved onto cash.
Pleasingly, it was a limp/calltastic table and I started to run well. Sat with £200 and pretty quickly was up to around £320.
Had a couple of fun hands after that. 3bet the button to £14 against tight, way too serious player who had opened for £4. Flop 55Q, He check calls £19. Turn 6, he check calls £37, river 2, he check calls all in. I immediately table the 56 for a full house and he goes berserk as he flashes the AQ before throwing his cards at the dealer. He then spends a few minutes telling everyone how bad I am, mixing in a few expletives along the way. He also explained how he was trapping me and knew I was playing with rubbish. lols
Had a really interesting hand which I was really happy with how I played but provoked some discussion afterwards. Next orbit on button I find the JJ. 4 limpers to me and so I make it £10. BB who I know quite well and is very tight makes it £26, sitting with around £170. They all pass and I decide to call. Reasons for this were I was pretty sure he had a big pair. Confident that even with AK he just flats because he sees me as aggro and would hate getting it all in with less than the big pair pre. I'm never folding pre and given the reasons already stated i'm not keen on reraising and giving him the perfect shoving stack.
I decide to see the flop in position. Flop of AK3. I'm convinced that his shoulders slump a little and equally convinced it is not some kind of dramatic reverse tell he's trying to give off. He leads for £20 and I call. 5 on turn and he checks. I bet £46 and he folds QQ face up. Being drunk I flip my cards and he's not happy. Disappointed I showed, no need for it really.
After that serious guy and QQ guy spend a long time discussing how bad I am. I say nothing and just carry on drinking my drink. Trouble is every so often the other drunk on the table keeps saying "you're only bxtching because he keeps kicking your fxxking arsxs" I can't help giggling everytime he says it and so it continues until serious guy gets up and goes to other table because "you can't beat bad players"
Had one more hand of note where I get it in pre from SB against new nicer guy on my right for around a £90 pot with AK. He had KK and I spike my Ace. He says "nice hand, it played itself". Just grateful I wasn't up against IDCU here as I seem to remember a similar pot he had against AJRockets, where his reaction was a little different.
As I tend to do I donked off around £130 before ending the night but still made £280 profit and I had fun, so never mind.
Felt absolutely evil on Monday. I'm way too old for this drinking lark. Although, no doubt, i'll do the same again before too long.
....
I am the worst golfer ever. Played Saturday and was horrific. Comp tomorrow and will be up to 10 for first time in 15 years if I miss buffer yet again.
Think I need to buy some new sticks!
Don't rant normally but...
Decided to have one go only at SPT Newcastle
Got through the semi
Just played the £24 which made 2 seats and £88 for 3rd
Money bubble on big blind and guys limp! utg
I flop flush and lead out, he shoves with set and gets there. That's £88 that would have been locked up and looking very good 1 of 3 for the seat.
Shove a couple that get through. They fold to my big blind twice when I have AA and QQ.
Back to covering the limp guy, I shove 55 in small against his 5bb stack. He tanks! and eventually calls with AK!
He hits immediately.
2 hands later I shove Ace Rag. He snaps utg+1 with Ace8. Looks like being a split on QQJ10. he hits his flush on river.
GG Newcastle
...
In mini go out 14th ACE 10 V 33 aipf. Flop 10 turn 3, GG mini
Might well have been a topic that's been covered numerous times but I have been getting frustrated by all the thread closures. To close it is just ridiculous in my opinion
I guess this complaint means the end for this thread. I suppose I've had a good run and 300 posts isn't bad.
Before I get shut down a quick word about my golf today.
As I've mentioned, I've been really struggling recently.
Today, I had the worst start to a round in my memory, 9 over through 6. Managed to only drop 2 more shots for the entire round to just sneak into the buffer and preserve my 9 handicap. Pretty chuffed with myself for grinding it out. I think Lambert would be proud of me!
