Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[TheChipPrince]

There's a welshman who has played for 4 teams that won it though.

Dean Saunders. Next.

[DUNK619]

Alan McNally is one of the few players to have played for 3 sides that have won the European cup (Villa, Celtic and Bayern Munich). Works for sky on soccer saturday and other football realted stuff.

And does he play at DTD?

Not seen him there Tikay, but you go there more often than me. Must make an effort to play live more but it depresses me sitting there 5 hours in tourney getting 20 hands an hour and not win a bean.

It's proper poker Longy. Live Poker to Internet is as Rugby Union to Rugby League, Test Cricket to 20/20, Premiership v 5-a-side, F1 v TinTops.

It's the real thing.

Well we all like different things, i prefer Rugby league, don't like F1 and sometimes think the premiership has gone too far in terms of money and overpaid idiots.

I love test cricket though.

I think we should get a blonde trip to a day at a test match soon... would be a good day imo.

  would be good if could go to one in nottingham could go to dtd after

Thart's excellent - I shall drop that into convo, casually like.

So can I assume he's the ONLY footballer to have won the European Cup for an English, German, & Scottish side, yes? Blimey - that sounds odd - a Scottish side winning the European Cup! Must have been in a bygone age, one assumes.

No, he never won it, he played for 3 sides that have won it. There's a welshman who has played for 4 teams that won it though.

McInally's nickname was Rambo, Richies was Bawsur.

Ahh, I see now. Nearly a major disaster there......It's the Simulcast with Sky Sports tonight, with the Sky Sports Suits all watching - so if I had messed that stat up, it's Taxi for tikay. Sheesh.

Ah well - suppose I should warn you the highlighted bit's not true either

You tried to get that one past me? You, a Scot, & me English. Are you mad?

But I'm glad you fessed up, & may forgive you. This time.

One genuine one is that Alan McInally's dad, Jackie was a professional player as well, he and my dad joined Kilmarnock on the same day.

Yes - totally truthful. Jackie won a Scottish League winners medal in 63-64 64-65 and scored 111 league goals in his career.

I just checked & found this about Kilmarnock's players in 1963.....(Jackie McInally)

Signed from amateurs Crosshill Thistle, he was an industrious inside-forward, able to back up his high workrate with more than his fair quota of goals, some of them spectacular. A Scottish League cap, he also served Motherwell and Hamilton Accies before working for a construction firm, running Ayr Unted’s pools then spending 14 years as manager of a Dulux decorating centre in the Ayrshire village of Crookedholm. He is now retired and lives in Monkton, near Troon. His son, Alan ‘Rambo’ McInally, played for Ayr, Celtic, Aston Villa, Bayern Munich and Scotland, before ending his career at Rugby Park

Went OK-ish in the Studio last night, did a 1 hour Pre-Record (airs Tuesday) all based on a £1.50 £3.00 Cash-Table - there is now some serious cash game action on Sky Poker, with quite a bunch of tidy players making very decent money there, including a couple of Flushy's Brighton crowd. Feel the width.

Very impressed with last night's two guests on the 9pm 5-00, Andy Ritchie & Alan McInally.

Andy was very avuncular, quite shy, which seemed kinda odd for some reason, but a most pleasing sort of individual.

Alan was totally different, & I liked him immensely. A born gambler, he had, post his footie career, the choice of being some sort of low-level Coach, with all the insecurity that entails, (if your Boss gets bombed, you go too), or a football pundit, & he has fallen on his feet big time with Soccer Saturday, & his pride in his job, & enthusiasm for it, as well as being part of a very special team of pundits, was evident. He was given half a chance, & grabbed it with both hands.

He was fascinated by Rod's story that Frank (Alan's Dad) signed for Kilmarnock the same day as Rod's Dad - even rung his Dad there & then to tell him. I tried to blag that I was big into football (well, I was a few years back....), & Andy bought it, but Alan sussed me straight away.

Alan was wearing some weird wrist-bands, & I asked what they were. They had little magnets attached, & Alan believes they "calm him" when he plays golf. Hmm, really? Anyway, he plays golf off 4, so he's doing something right. He asked if I fancied a round, but I'm hopeless at golf, so I declined.

Lovely guys, both of them.

They both look a good deal older than when they were a lot younger.
