Long suffering Thomond and Everton Fan. Likes most sports, gambling and complaining about losing bets. Model Husband!

[Vaughan Lewis @VaughanLewis1]

I’ve spent 25 years working in gambling, and even longer gambling myself.

My experience has overwhelmingly been one of friendship, family, probability, emotional control, terrible accumulators, racecourse rituals and occasionally expensive fun.

Reading modern gambling policy discussions, you’d think experiences like mine barely exist.

So I wrote about it.

Would love to hear yours

Colin Slater could be the new Dylan Donnellan @theclubscenepod 4 tries in 3 games. #EnergiaAIL

@theclubscenepod Well done on great content throughout the year lads.
Ye discussed whether Nenagh could get any resources from Munster Academy, I wonder if any truth in rumours that Connacht could send a few their way given geographical proximity.

When are @WorldRugby going to do something about French TV directors at matches. Didn't make a difference in a one sided match like tonight's but consistently don't show replays where wrong doing from French players.

@gerrice1 More to do with my irrelevance I'd say. Family life getting in the way of me chasing the info.

[Barry Dillon @barrydillon79]

@gerrice1 None provided as yet.

Maybe one tabling the micro stakes on your phone is a winning strategy after all 😂😂

Some disaster of a morning for team Ireland, suppose we were spoiled up to now. #showjumping #1500m #400m #Diving

@moose14hartery @theclubscenepod @burkeysmc Just you , me and @quinlivan_aidan by the looks of it. If the Toffees hold on we will call it quits 😁

[Barry Dillon @barrydillon79]

That was some performance by the @RFCThomond 2nds tonight. Conceding 2 tries so quickly after the break and playing against the wind we could have folded but instead kept playing and got some great tries. Another final to look forward to.

[Barry Dillon @barrydillon79]

@paulsitbaby @RFCThomond Shocking bad decision. Player clearly well over the line held up, if tackler releases , they score a try. Obviously once ref adjudges he is short of the line he has to give a yellow as it wasn't coming out of there with Thomond player underneath.

[Barry Dillon @barrydillon79]

Just kicked off here Thomond vs Newcastlewest. Ryain Ahern try, Evan Cusack convert.
Thomond 7 - 0 Newcastlewest

The man I was named after.

[Guinness Men's Six Nations @SixNationsRugby]

We are deeply saddened that the great Barry John has passed away at the age of 79.

All our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.

Rest in Peace ��️

My current pet peev in Rugby is teams resetting scrums instead of taking a free kick particularly outside of the Red zone. Given the currentaws the amount of times you get penalised in the next scrum makes it too big a risk for me.
