Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
As a supporter of Ireland, nothing gives me greater pleasure than seeing the England Rugby team get a thrashing on the field of play. Or so I thought until I read today’s lead story in that fine publication, The Sun on Sunday, “England stars in shares rip off”. Oh what joy.

I am in a position to offer Mr Hamilton all of my LOG shares at a 50% discount to his quoted £0.50p price at the bargain price of £0.40p along with a ‘buy one get five more each for the same price offer’.
Michael. Ignore any clever cunt from this site who tries to tell you 40p vs 50p is not a 50% discount. They are all shorting bastards and need to be burned.
IMHO these are worth at least £500 a pop and all we have to do is hang loose but remain strong in order to see off the scum shorters.
As we all now know the North Sea Play has been and always will be Property of England, despite that Chris Bloke colluding with the Scotts so they can siphon it off, and nothing backs up that fact more than it has been found in Wiltshire.

Headline from today’s “Telegraph”:
“Former Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United players ‘face ruin and losses of £100m’ in film investments
Rio Ferdinand, Martin Keown, Danny Murphy and Robbie Savage all understood to have lost millions after investing in film and property ventures”
Easy come, easy go!

I feel sorry for poor Reginald, I do hope he is registered with the FCA and he has passed all his exams so that he is fully qualified to give advice , on the other hand forget it the FCA will do nothing, he can probably relax in the knowledge that his worst fate might be getting dunked in the communal rugby players bathtub and having to pay for his own bottles of stout in future. As for the players themselves they are young and strong and look to me like they could earn good money as hod carriers on a building site so they can quickly make up their losses.

I was just wondering – you remember when Wildes “went missing” in August & September…does he want to fess up now to moonlighting as assistant to Reg the kit man?
Nigel Somerville
So it would seem that it is not just big lean Aussies who can put one over on the England rugby team then
Wildes – Karma is coming to get YOU, lol!

Why not like the national team of the country you live in. Why not live in Ireland?

A reader who believes in the Norman Tebbitt test. I suppose you want my wife’s parents to head back where they came from (India) too?
Words fail me

TW why try to turn it like that. Just respect the country that you live in. Understand not supporting them but to take pleasure in them losing is quite sad.

But you said I had to “like” England or get on the banana boat back to Donegal. Now you “turn” and say I am allowed to be passive to avoid deportation. That is very good you my imperial master to allow me to stay here as long as I keep my views to myself. You are indeed very considerate to we poor colonists. I will tell my mother in law to stay quiet during the test matches so that she too can enjoy a living here.
Seriously, surely you understand the idea of the Old Enemy? As I have noted before it is largely a rugby thing, Ive no grudge against England at soccer. Its just rugby really

welliever
TW you are far too clever and successful for me (apart from the fund ouch).
Where did I mention a Banana boat? Just find it disrespectful, but you are not known for that are you.

Oh what short memory you colonials have ( except the potato famine !) which was the only country’s rugby team to risk the foot and mouth epidemic – to visit Ireland and play you – giving your economy and morale a lift ?
Which was the country’s rugby team to risk the nutters from the IRA by playing at Croke Park ?
Jupiter
The foot and mouth started in Blighty and like your rugby team it tried to subjugate us also.

Never mind, they can all move into LG Cuba, Fastjet, Inspirit Energy, Afriag….or king of kings……UKOG

TW, be a good chap and find out the link between Reg and David Lenigas please? That might make for more interesting reading than all this rugby nonsense.
