That was the most one sided game I've seen since we were in League 1. Pleased with the result - I got Ireland in our sweepstake, from day one I didn't think they'd win, but I must be a strong contender to pick up the wooden spoon prize after that. Couple of points on the tv coverage: - I absolutely hate those wooden doll things that ITV have; really creepy. - Why is the ITV table shaped like an iPod 5g? - I have been very impressed with the camera work. Almost always at international tournaments I sit there thinking that I wish it was over here, as we have the best tv cameramen in the world. I have to say, the Poles and Ukrainians are right up there. Top tracking.
I had Torres 1st g/s and 4-0 @ 35/1 and also -2 Spain handicap. Well and truly in profit now!
You want to change your bookie. 35-1 for a 4-0 and first goalscorer combination is appalling.
To be honest i'm awful at any kind of gambling, but have starting putting a small amount on over the Euros. Only a student so £200 is a nice little win for me any advice on better bookies will be well recieved. i have tried to attach a pic of my account (to prove im not a 'faker') but im not very good at his kinda thing.
Well done anyway. Give betfair a go. Much better odds.

Re the TV coverage, I find it a bit annoying that whenever you see Ireland play the commentator just spends 90 minutes talking about how great thrir supporters are and how fantastic everything they do is. The greatest team to play football possibly ever were playing and they hardly got a mention

I like the way Roy Keane isn't afraid to say what he thinks, however much his opinions may be unpopular. Ireland were very poor last night, and I agree with him that attending a football tournament should be more than an excuse for the fans to have a party.
Having said that, the real damage was caused in the Croatia game, that was their only realistic chance of getting a win, and they blew it badly.
I have not had any bets other than lumped on France to beat us..... Was gonna put a tenner on the draw for every game, not sure if I would have be in profit doing that.
If only English pundits were as open and honest as Roy there, wasn't sure on him with his tv work but he won me over with that speech last night
Love him. Was refreshing when Chiles et al were patronisingly plating the fans and he said something along the lines of never mind how great the support is the supporters deserve better performances. Blunter than a wooden spoon.

No idea why but had a feeling ROI would nick a point or something.
Wholeheartedly agree with Keane comments. Next Ireland manager anyone?
PS. What happened to the 'Remote' thread?
I think Keane will always tell it as it is, he not out to win friends, unlike Eamin Dunphy on RTE who just goes against what everyone else says.
Best fans in the world? Absolute tosh.
Being English and disliking England is a sure sign of a Miserable.
