I chuntered for the 2nd time in quite a while in the chatbox when duesenberg was present earlier
Things were not going well
I’ve had a pretty grotty time of it at the tables recently
But it got better.
I managed a 2nd in a £11bh doing very well not to take a single head along the way. But added £102 to my balance all the same
Just bust my last Mtt The £22 ukops bh
Seriously outclassed it was nice to flop a straight heads up. 78hh on 9 10 J seemed ok. Turning a flush draw was decent. Losing on the river to Q8 less so
Re: Keogh. It seems harsh to me. What are your thoughts on the matter?

I think it’s harsh but understandable.
Given his service to the club I would have preferred it if the club had just written off the money and let him retire with his head held high. But it’s not my million or so that pays his wages.
The cold side of it is that he was not going to play again under his current contract whereas Lawrence and Bennett are fit to play. They are also worth in transfer term probably around 8 million to the club.
I think he should have taken the reduced contract. He would still have earned plenty and also been free to use the facilities at the club in his attempt to get fit again. I think it’s a bit rich from his agent saying that he should have been treated like family. If Keogh had seen the club as family then I think he would have taken the deal.
Also for his agent to say there’s more to it but can’t say what that is is just silly and incongruous.

Ahhh, I wasn't aware of the reduced contract offer, makes more sense now.
Just found this from June 2013 It was a few days before going to my 1st SPT
Well, If Mourinho can return, i thought so could the ramblings for a short period.
Basically, it's because i was fortunate enough to get a seat for Saturday. I was going anyway but was resigned to playing in the comp that night. Now, i'm going to feel a part of it, for a short while anyway, and it will be really good to meet some of the really good players on the forum, and MAXALLY.
I don't actually know anyone on here. And so, if any of you are meeting up beforehand and don't mind an ageing, tubby little man tagging along, then please let me know where and when.
...
Not quite sure why, but i am really looking forward to this. It reminds me of when i was a kid and couldn't wait for the Cup Final. Remember, back in the 80's this was the match of the season bar none. Not hidden away on a Saturday night, after all the important Premier League games like Fulham v Norwich have taken place.
Coverage was on both BBC and ITV and started mid morning. We had the teams at the hotels, on the coach, the banal interviews. Every players prematch meal was pie and mash and favourite band was Genesis. Liverpools white suits. Remember the cup final songs? Everton had "HERE WE GO" Tottenham had a song that went something like "Spurs are on their way to Wembley, Ossies knees have gone all trembly"
In honour of those Cup Finals i thought i could do an interview. In the absence of Motty or Gary Newbon, i'll be asking the questions.
Pre match drink?
6-8 pints of Peroni in the Vine on Friday night.
Attire?
A rather fetching(flattering) dark shirt and jean combo.
Pre match music?
We're going with some old school. UTAH SAINTS and Joy Division.
Superstitions?
Never play the first hand. Unless it's Aces, or one of the cards has a picture on it, or they're the same suit, or they're connected.
Which charity?
Well, not charity as such but planning to donate plenty in the cash games after my brief spell in the tourney comes to a conclusion. Also, i believe somewhere else i pledged to buy Mr Tikay a latte, so another £2.50 or so there.

Fabulous memories.

But, £445 up on the night is ok

Chuntering confirmed +EV

Nor me, first I had heard of a reduced contract.
If he were offered that, then yes, he should have bitten their hand off.
Reading between the lines, the Agent has tried a bit of negotiating & it's failed. The Agent, of course, earns less if Keogh earns less.
