Show More
relax dickie!i thought u played the game but its obvious to me u know sfa about it.sorry bud but u have got to face facts.i would get better tips from a geezer on a bar stool.
King would never put up a thread like this, they're are people who make money at betting richters, people who break even richters, people who lose and then you a complete Mug richters 
Without doubt the worst betting thread ever, you met a guy in a toilet in a pub that said he was a former intercounty footballer and he told you to be worried, sounds ominous what happened next !

I did not see this thread until it was brought up tonight.
Kevin Egan wrote a good piece on this yesterday and made a valid point about other areas such as Boston getting a shot at this tie in future years.
It will be interesting to see footage of the game and see what the likes of Rory Woods would like. He took months and months of training when with Monaghan to get near championship fitness and I cannot see how he could have been near that level in his current surroundings.
Strengths
New York Weakness
New York are no longer the threat they once were. Emigration continues to be a big issue in Irish society, but the Big Apple is not as popular a location as it once was. There are plenty of players in the New York team with former intercounty experience, however the standard of play in New York has struggled to keep pace with the improvements in general standards back home.
Since Leitrim escaped with a narrow extra time victory in 2003, New York have only once lost by a single figure margin in this tie – and that was against Galway in 2010, where complacency may have been a factor.
Leitrim certainly won’t take a victory here for granted, regardless of Sligo’s big win last year.
Leitrim Championship Displays
Leitrim may be a division four team but they rarely put in a bad performance in the championship. They lost heavily to Mayo in last year’s championship – and Mayo proved that there was no shame in that – but they still rebounded well to put in some excellent displays in the qualifiers against Wicklow and Laois.
Their league campaign this year wasn’t as good as they had hoped, but they lost by a point to Offaly and two points to Limerick, who both ended up contesting the final. With a full strength team, they should be able to rack up the scores that are needed.
Lack Of Preparation For New York
It’s simply impossible to prepare properly in New York. The logistics behind getting their squad together are daunting, while back in Ireland, even the worst county teams now train properly for five or six months of the year. Several of New York’s better club players don’t make themselves available due to the huge time commitment of getting from the various boroughs up to the Bronx, while their preparation consists of playing matches among themselves and against local club teams.
Weaknesses
Lack Of Leitrim Goals
The big danger here is that Leitrim aren’t a good goalscoring team, so they aren’t necessarily built to cover large spreads. They failed to score a goal in three of their seven league games and while that’s not a terrible record – on average most counties will fail to score at least one in three times against evenly matched opponents – the deployment of Emlyn Mulligan at centre forward does rob them of a potent inside threat.
Opportunities
New York Could Be Way Off The Pace
There is potential here for a handy win –New York’s domestic challenge match results have been very poor and while we’re inclined to treat such reports with scepticism, it’s quite possible that this particular vintage is not the best prepared New York team in recent years, or anything close. Enthusiasm for competing in this fixture has waned Stateside and many feel that other areas like Boston, Philadelphia and San Francisco should be given the chance to compete for this slot. There is a possibility that New York are way off the pace and lose by twenty points or more as they did last year. Ladbrokes are the only firm going -9 points with the other firms all going -10 on the visitors.
New York Selections Puzzling
The New York team selection has a few odd choices, such as the placement of CJ Molloy at midfield. The manager’s son is not noted for playing in such a central role and generally lines out further up the field. In general, the Exiles look quite weak at midfield and half back and they could be overwhelmed here. Additionally, if half forwards Jason Kelly and Conor Lynam are forced to cover back to plug gaps, that will really hurt their attack. Of course the art of naming dummy teams could be at play here, but there aren’t any obvious other choices to fill the centre field berth in the XV.
Threats
Getting 70 Minutes of Full Championship Football From Leitrim
As with any large handicap, the danger here is that there is nothing in it for Leitrim to push on and win big. Just because they’re capable of winning by a double figure score doesn’t mean that they will do – either they could be happy to keep New York at arm’s length in the closing stages, or else they could concede late scores to scupper our bet. Hopefully competition for places in a squad with plenty of players returning from injury should keep us safe on this score.#
Momentum From Positive New York Start
Momentum is the big danger here. As much for traditional reasons as any other, a large crowd tends to attend this fixture and if New York get away to a good start, that crowd will get behind their team.
Leitrim need to get out to a lead early and kill the crowd factor.

distant rory woods cried off at the 11th hour with an injury.....didnt affect the result but a big miss all the same
I didn't know that.
He is a gifted footballer and great with both feet but had serious weight problems every year he played for us and in fairness to him he trained very very hard to get weight off each year. It will not be easy or him in the environment that he is in now but in club football over there he will have a class edge over most.

Yes richters if only they had another player, he would have won it for them and your bet would have been up, safe trip back to la la land
Exactly,knives out again for someone that as we all do got it wrong. Nasty thoughts on this thread by some and and a few good guys.
Some win.....some lose........ that's the nature of the beast.
But it's the same few who always knock posters.
But it's the same few who always knock posters.
Richters deserves it tho...Look at the use of his inciteful language such as "scumfingers" and is the first to criticise on other threads even when racing matters are being discussed.
It's no wonder PP made €138 Million last year when the likes of Richters are taking 10/11 on handicaps with the draw as well (Minimum 125% overound),Betting on the voice (with about 150% o/r,-not that the o/r is important there).

Good morning dj,thats a fair point. Read a few threads last night and the knockers were out in force on a few of them,fook all to contribute themselves and having a laugh at someone who lost money, hard to really bother anymore, who wants to be a target.
Good morning Pa,I should refrain from biting myself.
There is valid and informative discussions on here too(Gant put up a good winner of the bumper yest),the main reason I will put up a horse is to hear people's counter views and possible flaws that I have not thought of.
The best threads are the Irish meetings where races are discussed rather than just putting up names(Nap,Boom-This will win win etc).
I also enjoyed Wildman's Conspiracy threads even tho I disagreed with more of them than I agreed with, but he has a viewpoint and backs it up(sometimes very stubbornly).

Ye your right pa lapsy some of theses guy have nothing to add to the forum,somebody should never be knocked for putting up their views on a sporting event on the forum.
Delighted richters he may learn a lesson from it, that's why i'm happy 
Pa you came on to a few of my threads that lost i seem to remember

fudmister general another man who has come on to my threads in the past when they've lost. The day is early but it's being a great start for the Rock.
Who the feck couldn,t come on to a Monday night Turkish basketball league match loser Rocket?
That made me smile parichters deserves everything he gets not because of his past loutish behaviour on here but because his reasoning was one of the most stupid but at the same time hilarious things ever written on bf forum.
Didn't back it myself - but I wouldn't be backing Leitrim to beat anybody by ten points (or for that matter I wouldn't be comfortable backing anyone to beat them by ten)- seemed reasonable punt to me.
Before the match I would have thought Leitrim by 6 or 7 point; I was also surprised to see it at ten ( I very rarely do handicap betting anyway).

Leitrim are not worried about this game at all, richters don't be polluting the forum with daft picks the 8/1 bet is simply wasting money. There is always a chance a team may ease up but the Leitrim will win.

That bet won and this bet lost and the handicap was a shorter price
ooooooooo K if you say so.........how much did ye lose on billy wrights good thing on monday?hope ye didnt do the whole lot, the dole money......
Tbf i never bet on anyone elses bet, i have a good enough thing between my ears. I will say the King is a far superior punter to you.
oooo K.....if you say so....he is prolific alright.........im just glad to hear you havent been mug enuf to have been folloiwng him,because your dla allowance would be well gone........FACT.......
He is better than you and trusts his own judgement. Fact, as SR called you today you are the forum fantasist.
LOL.......i deal in facts.....rocket im sorry to tell ye,just go and ask the kennedys who run the course in cleveragh and ask kavvie about the good people i know in ennis.....im not posting under dual identities........im afraid to say you my friend are the only fantasist on here......
you still never repled whether his p and l of posts on here was showing a positive or negatvie sign,,,,,,,
What do you waant me to ask them? Hello, do you know richters the forum fantasist from the bf forum? Fgs they'll just reply "not that mong"
what does mong mean sorry ive never heard that terminology?if it means anything to do with recieving bundles of state benefitd then no sorry your wrong.....i work for a living.........
I very much doubt it you work at all. You're a total bum, unless you're working in a different time zone you'd not be on here at this time of the night.
lol.....that has to be the statement of the year.........ye dont get around ireland as much by being idle scumfingers.....im in ballymun next week calling into sika so watch out for the van when your downtown collecting the dla........
Surely you can work that out from your post. Just to set the record straight here richters what do you do for a living? Or claim to do i'll look forward to seeing you side step the answer.
well i spent 3 months in ballytivnan in abbotts, i spent 3 months in elan in athlone,3 months in syntex in clarecastle in clare and 2 of the said companies have been sold to foreign investors,so surely a international trader like yourseld can enlighten me......you wouldnt remember the silver swan hotel in sligo because ye wudnt of heard of it from ballymun.....
Pretty much sums up what i was thinking about you, unemployable, hence on here at 2:36am, don't forget the toy soldier factory in Kerry, what a CV
i dont and never have claimed benfits,and never will by the way so good luck with ur benefit fraud campaign........im recieved very well in every part of the 26 counties partly because i pay my way and pay for whatever employees i have with me......so i cant complain.......ive just arrived home this evening after working nights in the west of ireland so there ye go scumfingers,,,,,thats what work means......its not all about cashing a giro and eating a turkish kebab every 2 weeks........
We welcome all tourists from the UK ti Ireland, but no chance you were working that is another fantasy of yours

This has me puzzled, richters, I have to admit. You don't strike me as a white collar worker arriving to conduct due diligence or the like. Are you some sort of human guinea pig upon whom they carry out dangerous clinical trials?
Or perhaps you are a painter/decorator sprucing the place up ahead of the arrival of the foreign investors?

i admitted this bet went t1ts up.....no big deal.......as i said b4 at the prices no harm could be done.......cuda been worse cuda tipped a 1/4 shot in the eurovision
Richters puts up a sporting bet of an 8/1 shot,Rocketfingers pounces by ridiculing the bet thinking I'm 1/8 to be right but then his deviancy and fantasies combine so he invents a story about Richters meeting someone in a toilet.
This is revealing and tells us plenty about Rocketfingers who gives the impression he had many assignations in toilets.
It is obvious Richters works and works the length and breath of this country,it is also obvious he likes a bet which makes him the opposite of his two protagonists Rochetfingers and Ozymandius.

This is classic Ozy, i set Borneo for a fore arm smash but Ozy choose to Pile drive him head first and all just by typing just seven little words.
Boooooooooooooooooom
One of the greatest threads ever on the BF forum

The Liverpool'Trade' and the Monday night Turkish basketball league a lot better imo.
Best thread ever fact, i see the girls have rushed to defend dickie, they must be on a promise.
i was right mug leitrim were worth taking on with any opposition this year......
Ya because they're usually unbeatable, what a wally, i had to laugh your girls PA and Gant brought up threads of mine to somehow make me look bad, one a winner and the other a question
You'll never beat me.
You'll never beat me.
right on cue rocket,right on cue....you have left the people on here in no doubt about your identities........
Any fair minded person who reads this thread will see the dishonesty of Rocketfingers and Ozymandius,both these gentlemen engage in juvenile toilet humour and specialise in smut.
Richters never mentioned any meeting in a toilet this was a Freudian invention of Rocketfingers which has now been seized upon by Ozymandius who trots it out regularly.
They seem to be working this double act,invent something in the LBJ style get the back up man to repeat it often enough so it gains some credence,its dishonest and says more about the two Billy Boys than anything else.

He's never once said it never happened, it's obvioulsy what happened, sure is that not how you and him met Wildman?
This tip is probably the greatest tip ever on the BF forum, New York hahaha
Richters is intelligent enough to ignore your inventions,you seem to think not denying something makes it true.
Maybe you would show us where Richters mentions any meeting in a toilet,he doesn't but because these things are on your mind you invent this and get your back up man to reinforce this untruth by throwing it into the mix as often as possible.

The long and short f it is Wildman we don't know what happened , we have to dickie's word and piece together the clues. But considering we still await is denial i'm pretty sure i'm close to the mark. You also seem upset about the allegations of richters in the toilet with another man?
You left out the usual wink in your 22.59 post there Rocketfingers.
Is that in retaliation for bringing Kingrats Eurovision thread up?
Yes Pa, i seen my name mentioned on it for some reason so thought he needed to be reminded of the worst tip ever seen in the history of any forum.
good stuff rat......you have told us all we needed to know,the bait was to much for ye.......
I'd say Borneo is one of those men who slinks into the stalls when another man is present at the urinals.
jesus it will not be long now till i have a 4 headed fish caught.....EASY...
dickie has finally hit rock bottom,he is so obsessed,seething with venom,chomping at the bit in his quest for revenge that he has spent his whole morning going through the archives looking for something,anything !a total meltdown,i am afraid.
number 3 signs in.......rock piper now for the FULL HOUSE.....
Can you put up a link to the pictures please Richters.
i would of thought you would of been on first name terms with these young ladys with your globetrotting lifesyle and connections to irish a list circles...
I think you will find that the Rose of Tralee is to A List, what the Ford Transit Van is to a Maybach.
As far as I know you have to be a virgin to enter The Rose of Tralee.
Pictures? Do we have any Muslim roses as yet?

And up we go, probably the most memorable bet of the championship or any championship or any bet ever flagged up on any betfair forum. Thanks dickie
Dirar Rocket Dirar,a good lay at 25/1. Think it won. That was one of the best for me. Now who put that up?
That was not a tip but a question, hence the question mark
Dickie should not laugh at other with his track record had to bring this back up, classic
Oh it was nothing to do with the fact the bet lost, it was the mad cap reasoning that i found so amusing.
yeah,i forgot about this 1,an all time classic.if memory serves,dickie put this 1 up on the bases,he met some geezer in a toilet.
This is it you could not make it up King tbh, it's superb stuff from dickie to be fair to him he is the Tommy Cooper of the forum although i think Tommy knew what he was at.
The point is you did make it up.
The only one you managed to fool was Kingrat.

ah,come on wildman?yre arguing against the indefensible here.dickie is an embarrasssment.i am ashamed of him.he's giving us republicans and gaels a bad name.and whats worse,he's even doing abit of touting.i know he is dense but that is unforgivable imo.
Read the full thread Kingrat.
Don't attach your wagon to the insecure Rocketfingers,he is a fantasist with deep psychological flaws.
His one true pal here is the equally insecure Ozymandius,you will notice both are manic in trying to prove their heterosexual credentials with their constant clumsy references to little ladies and dancers.
