Mafiabob Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Thank you very much for having me on, certainly a great experience for me as I've never ever done anything like this before. Really appreciate having me on.. Also the link to my gambling blog I did a few years ago for those who are interested is thebaronwrites.wordpress.com go to the very first post written on there for my actual story (silent illness blog) thanks.

Nice to hear you and Srg disagreeing a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamO Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Only had the chance to listen to the first 10 mins or so. I must congratulate mafiabob on his frankness regarding his past gambling problem. It can ruin lives - and not just those of the gambler. The industry needs more exposure for what it actually does - which is prey on people's vulnerability. I've just seen a tweet from a 'Walliam Hall ambassador' (purposely mispelled) - an ex player who must be getting paid a bit of dosh for this. It just shows how much money must be made from it. It's not something I could put my name and face to. I'm sure that there are some people that can gamble responsibly, but there is always going to be one winner - the gambling company. I cant really speak for the situaion in the uk, but they seem to be everywhere over here in Oz. Leaves a bit of a bad taste in the mouth when trying to follow sport.

Ewe Ram Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Anyone remember Norman Collier? He seemed to have a slot on this podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 A good listen, although I kept forgetting to pause it when I got up to walk around the office to do stuff, so I've likely only listened to 40% of it or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewe Ram Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I wish you'd warned me about the startled sheep noise. I had to explain to the paramedics that came to resuscitate me on my dog walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Just finished listening to it, helping to ensure that it is going global.!! Great podcast again comments... @Srg sturridge "world class"...! World class...? Give me a break son, he isn't even the best in his family and I couldn't stand Uncle Dean. (But we should take him as back up) and I totally agree with you about Kane, I don't see what all the fuss is about with him at all and Sherwood (think you pinched my spiv comment there!)

Day Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Waste of a seat on the plane, really is. He'll step off the airport coach and be out injured for 6 months. Really not worth taking. Great player when fit, just that when is pretty rare these days. He's 26 years old and played 158 professional games. Poor showing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 132 games at 28, so a slightly better Dawkins. Nothing against Sturridge, great player but I wouldn't want to rely on him being there when you need him. I love Wilshere, on form up there with the best we've got, if not the best but wouldn't let him anywhere near the plane even tho he's nearing fitness until he show some kind of ability to last more than 10 games in a row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't make the 7 games in such a short time in the euros. Will Hughes has played almost as many games as him and he is only 11 years old.
