My lovely horse running through the field

Did you miss the article two posts up? A week later and clusters had been established. Not sure the Belfast telegraph is referring to the south there either.

I’d prefer to go with the medical experts rather than guessing

There have been some extraordinary comments on this thread today.
Unedifying even. While I’m all in favour of vitriol and plenty of it, some of the allegations and terminology used were well out of order.

The medical experts identified Cheltenham clusters.

There’s some bad bastards posting on here.

[LionelRitchie]

Indeed.

I don’t know why the horsey guy in the Belfast Telegraph is lumping rugby in with horse racing. I know you find fault with a lot of what goes on in rugby, but the rugby authorities acted responsibly in cancelling the Ireland v Italy match on 7 March 2020 and the France v Ireland match in Paris on 20 March 2020. Ireland’s last away match before lockdown was imposed on 12 March 2020 was against England at Twickehnam on 23 February 2020. Disingenuous of the journalist to lump rugby fans returning from London on 23 February 2020 in with the horse racing crowd coming back from Cheltenham nearly three weeks later after their festival ended on 13 March 2020.

Saddening to see such depths reached.

[ChairmanDan]

It was regrettable but there has been belated agreement that things were said on all sides that shouldn’t have been said so that should be the end of it.

[carryharry]

Good to see the Mods addressing the issue and the guilty party apologising.

No matter what happens it’s always a great week for the bookies, there’ll be a rake of young lads starting on the road that will lead them to handing over whatever they have to PP and Johnny Ladbroke in time

We can’t have people taking personal responsibility for their actions anyway. It’s always someone elses fault.

If you never make a decision for yourself you’re never to blame

I’m very disappointed at the carry on of some people and the agendas being pushed by people on the forum who should know better.

It’s very disappointing to see him go on like this

Naturally people will ultimately decide for themselves and there would be a problem with or without the advertising, I take issue with ads glamorizing it and bookies talking about gambling responsibly. I genuinely believe that they contribute to the problems we have with gambling, it’s a curse, an addiction and weeks like this are like a gateway

@Thomas_Brady I hope you’re happy

[Thomas_Brady]

What’s happened?

[carryharry]

They called Cheltenham off.

[balbec]

There is one gambling add that I absolutely hate. There’s a short arse professional Scotch cunt babbling on about his love for some horsey and the midget up on it’s back.

Having reflected a bit on matters, I was incorrect to call those who went to Cheltenham last year, Murderers. I’d like to apologise for any offence caused.

The crime of Murder requires an intent to kill. However reckless and cavalier they were, I am prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt that they didn’t head off to the Cotswolds with murder in their hearts.

They’re not Murderers, they’re Manslaugterers.

In much the same way Liverpool fans are not Murderers, but Manslaughterers. Nobody was convicted of Murder from Heysel. They were convicted of Manslaughter.

What about Hillsborough?
Murder, theft and urination on the dead were amongst those mentioned
