I dream of Martin O Neil these days

Coleman has made the official website of the Premier League's team of the week 7 times this season.
Brady has featured twice.
Meyler and Wilson have featured once.
There was a real sense of outrage and feeling that injustice had been carried out at the hands of the English on Twitter earlier today after the PFA didn't nominate Seamus Coleman for the 'Young Player of the Year' award: https://twitter.com/search?q=seamus%20coleman&src=tyah and http://balls.ie/football/****-seamus...tter-reaction/
Of course, at the age of 25, Coleman is two years over the maximum eligible cut-off age of 23 for the award.
Edit: That Balls.ie link isn't working as the forum automatically censors one of the words featured in the URL. It should be thon 'f' word in place of the four asterisks, in case you're wondering and want to correct it.

Yeah I was a bit surprised to see Daniel Sturridge in the young player category, he just about qualified as he was 23 when the season began. Think the qualification age is way too high anyway. James McCarthy is definitely a notable absentee though and, to be fair, Jordan Henderson can consider himself fairly shafted also. Sterling has obviously played fairly well in recent times but over the season his form (or even presence in the team) has been patchy. It's seems like borderline insanity that Lukaku didn't make it as well. Gerrard's pretty much there for a few good weeks and scoring penalties and, well, for being Gerrard.

Just been looking at the title odds and it seems Everton and hence Coleman are out of the running,
but following Chelsea's defeat today it looks like I will be collecting on my 12-1 bet on Liverpool
just thought i'd mention it
How much do you stand to win if Liverpool win the title? £6?
£6.50, he gets his stake back.
I have Stevenage to win League 1, how are they doing?

Yea £6 profit, but I will get £6.50 including my stake.Originally Posted by DannyInvincible
Should have put the mortgage on it.
Of course it's not over yet, they are in to 4-1 on now, but usually when I make a
bet on a long shot and the odds start dropping it comes good.
But who would have backed Sunderland to beat Chelsea?
A brave man indeed, but I always think (near) top v bottom is a great long shot bet
theoretically but it's so difficult to put the bet on, it feels like you are chucking money
down the drain. I wonder what the odds on Sunderland winning were?
Turns out they were 22-1 to win!!!
You can get 15-1 on West Brom beating Man City on Monday, might be worth a small bet.

Not very well, you need a few snookers
Haha, I'm humoured. I thanked Charlie's post above, sensing it was a wisecrack, but it now transpires our suspicions were correct!
If 50p is a standard bet, what would constitute a small bet? Would a bookie even accept a bet of under 50p? Do you find betting such amounts to be profitable for you or is just to add a bit of a personal dimension to a particular contest for a bit of craic?You can get 15-1 on West Brom beating Man City on Monday, might be worth a small bet.
The internet sites let you bet what you want as opposed to a "bookie" having a minimum I guess.
For me def even a small amount makes things more interesting. I had the Nets today at +2 in the NBA playoffs and i would have tried to watch the second half anyway but i was on the edge of my seat even with only 20 bucks on it. Don't know why. It gets the juices flowing. I mean who the hell can watch horse racing without a wager on it for example. I don't watch UFC but it is probably fun if you have even a little money on one of the psycho paths in the octagon.

20p would be a small bet, done a few for 10p too, most of the big bookmakers will take those bets ie Ladbrokes, Will Hill etc..
Not sure what the lower limit is maybe, well just tested it and it would not talk a 1p bet
However at Betfair the minimum stake is a whooping £2!!!
The bets are just for a bit of craic really, most I ever bet was £100 at 4-1 on American Idol, which won
Basically I don't want my day ruined by betting a big amount and losing it.
I lost £4 on the grand national so I made good my losses now (I hope).
Betfair used to give me load so free bets (£5 £10 £20 etc) but the kept losing, then one day it won
and then they stopped giving me them!!
However I laid them all off elsewhere, but they never knew that
They are basically trying to get people hooked on gambling, which I thought was a bit immoral.
They used to phone me up being all pally asking me who I supported etc.....
Seems like they had me marked out as a mug - can't think why!!!

All I can read on this is that you could peel an orange in your pocket.
Well at least I am not financing the Chairman of Ladbrokes fat pension!!!
Here's tricky fixing a boxing match as seen on ESPN's 30 for 30.

No, your taxes will pay for that eventually.
Coleman has just played in Kevin Mirallas to put Everton 2-0 up against Manchester United.
Do people honestly believe it would be wiser of Tricky to stake 50 euro on every bet he makes and end up bankrupting himself like Keith Gillespie?
