Yeah they just wore him down, and offered nothing in the middle ground which is where Jamie could have helped.
He should also have seen the signs that Dave was feeling it.
And Dave will be regretting his strop I'm sure, but he seems balanced enough to get over it and put it in perspective, after he's slept on it.

See Dave has put up another vid up, (All my bets) where he apologises and says he maybe should be thicker skinned. For me he has nothing to apologise for, FL boys are used to each others banter, but you don’t just don’t be so dismissive of a guest’s opinion on the show. Would like to think FL lads will also apologise and learn from it.

Proper punch in the dick that news, gutted is an understatement.

Sly Sports will be unbearable over the rest of the season about it as well.

​​​​​​Hopefully, he's leaving with a few more trophies come May/June

Gutting news - best manager we've had since I was a kid.
Got a ticket for Old Trafford away game in April, sat in south stand near tunnel at stretford end.
Hopefully no late winners or too much excitement or I'll get lynched, and son in law won't be happy.
Be tough to sit quietly if it goes well.

They already are. I had to turn it off earlier. Some people on twitter need to remember he hasn't died!

I'd just this week bought the Jürgen Klopp funko pop figure for my 1 year old to play with in her doll house. Probably got it just in time before they jacked the prices up, silver linings and all :biggrin-new::biggrin-new:

:highly_amused: Might get one for my grandson, to wind the son-in-law up.
He's a proud welshman from Swindon with a season ticket at Old Trafford :rolleyes:

The last time the grandson (2 year old) was at ours I put one of those transfer tattoo's of the Liverpool badge on his back after our lass bathed him before they set off back to Cardiff, as a surprise when they got home :highly_amused:

For clarity, our lass bathed my grandson not the son-in-law.:loyal:
 
Caldwell runners to miss DRF.

There's an absolutely weird looking Mo Salah cuddly toy on the official LFC website that I'm mulling over buying, it looks like a tanned version of Peter Sutcliffe.
The Alisson version looks more like that bloke Joe Wilkinson off 8 out of 10 cats as well.

I thought the finishing line boys came across as bell ends and very disrespectful, i love a bit of banter but didn't enjoy that at all. I'm hoping dave put out a couple of winners to put them back in their box !

You get what you see with the FL lads, they take the piss and they are always dismissive. Even Sean got blasted for putting up Teahupoo to beat IEP at fairyhouse.. they were so dismissive, never really listened to his point. Andrew and Dave, tend to be the fan boys of the four - Facile, GDC, Allaho etc... can NEVER BE beaten.

Entertaining bunch, but you arent getting much that you wouldnt already know

Dave should have known better, he's not in here with the likes of Ruby and Lydia. These lads pick a horse, and thats it, nothing's going to change their minds. Similarly, these nothing much these lads will say that holds much value. Zero value gained

So the fallout from the Caldwell situation is that apparently they’ve been laundering dirty money through their venture in the game for a well know Irish criminal gang, CAB are all over it now & that’s what’s led to the sudden pulling of the plug.

Gordon has made a decent living from the proceeds of crime going back to the Labaik days. I know it’s rife in the Industry & I had my suspicions about their outlay in recent years but my heart goes out to the stable lads/lasses that have built a bond with these animals in Cullentra.

Not surprising given the decision for all to go to public auction at nearest opportunity. These horses would be taken out of training (similar to Labaik situation) and brought under the care of CAB (Criminal Assets Bureau) until they are sold. Major negatives for all concerned missing a few weeks of training at this time of year.

Any prices for CAB to be top owner at the festival anywhere? :glee:

The timing of the announcement stunk to the high heavens tbh & I know a few successful lads in the building game but having the spare change to buy like they’ve done in recent years putting it about at the sales with the likes of JP & Michael O’Leary is bound to turn heads.

Is this true or hearsay? Seen a couple of twitter heads saying similar things over the last 24 hours.
 
Can see how they're doing on companies house easy enough. Successful enough business like. But would seem like they're over committing to the horses compared to the wealth of other major players.
