Manchester, all those years ago.
I don’t think the team will win. I think they rely on their captain a little bit too much.
The same thing happened at the Ryder Cup back in September. Ticket prices were extortionate. As were the prices for merchandise, food and drink etc. I believe a pint (or whatever unit of measurement is used in America) of even more watered down than usual Budweiser cost something like $20!
Henderson on Constitution Hill: “He won’t run over fences..That is categorical.”
Unibet, sponsor of Henderson’s stable: Constitution Hill 33/1 for the Arkle.
My alma mater has made it through to the quarter finals of UC, so I am hopeful they will win the title.
Thrown a tenner at Humphries. Littler will probably win – we are talking about a generational talent – but I don’t think the price difference should be quite so large.
“I suspect that in reality this will all blow over and go off without a hitch.”
More than likely.
I have never heard of the Sir Bobcast. I will check it out – I always liked Sir Bob on SSR. He didn’t take himself too seriously and I imagine he is a good interviewer.
Agree with Kendicate about the Barstewards. It is worth a listen but I wish they would tone down the language. It becomes more than a little tedious after a while.
I wouldn’t say I am any sort of admirer of William Hill paid spokesman Nick Luck but there is no denying his podcast is good to listen to sometimes.
If “Unbridled” qualifies as a podcast, then RTV’s “Road To Cheltenham” (available on YouTube) presumably qualifies as well.
Waley-Cohen does tend to smuggle a racing reference or two into each series. Peter Bromley was the most out of left field reference yet. He was more often heard than seen.
Agree, it is very intrusive. That makes four captions on the screen now: the meeting name and time; the clock; the speedometer; and now the running order. The latter two seem unnecessary.
Daryl Jacob found it funny when a horse unseated his rider as the tape went up at Punchestown.
Nice of him to think of any punters who might have backed the horse but got no run for their money.
“Had the match been Germany v Norway, I doubt we’d have heard a thing about it.”
For sure. The issue is two Islamic countries (one particularly fundamentalist and hardline) being in the city on the same day as the Pride event. Although their officials seemed to endure The Village People singing “YMCA” at the end of the draw ceremony. Maybe they walked out?
I was going to suggest the simplest solution would appear to be moving the match to a different venue – but then I suspect the usual activists would organise another event in the new city, just to make a point.
As one commenter on the “Daily Sceptic” site put it yesterday: “Radical, intolerant Islam meets radical, intolerant liberalism.
Much more interesting than a football match between Iran and Egypt. I’ve got my pop-corn ready.”Oli Bell has never heard of Totopoly!
I forget how young these presenters are sometimes.
This only serves to highlight the muddled thinking amongst modern day liberals.
On the one hand, they want to actively promote LGBT rights. On the other hand, they want to promote multiculturalism – but seem surprised when some of those cultures don’t share their enthusiasm for gay and trans people. Do they honestly believe the imam in their local mosque is preaching the gospel of LGBT to his congregation?
As someone summed it up in “The Spectator” today:
“You can’t think of everything and Fifa overlooked the possibility of two Islamic countries playing in one of America’s most liberal cities on a date of great significance to the gay community. It has now been placed in an impossible position. It can either reject the Egyptian demand and be accused of not respecting the ‘beliefs and identities’ of all competing nations or cancel the Pride match and risk enraging the progressive elements of Seattle and beyond.”
Commentators who have been denounced for highlighting the inherent contradictions of multiculturalism are entitled to say “I told you so.”
