Okay, not a golf fan, but i do like a pun, so I'll give it a go;

Golf is shite

Yeah... yeah, I'm happy with that.

Ok, I'll take the hit and ask the question we all want to know...
Was the username inspired by the advert?

haha when I signed up I had just left a different forum where one guy was a total arse and figured I didn’t want to go under my own name or familiar user name... the advert was on tv... the rest was long misjudged history as they say...

It’s your lack of understanding on how a deal works. 90% of my clients think a deal is done when the headline points are agreed with the other side.

Why do you think everyone hates lawyers? We ask a lot of uncomfortable “what if” questions and draft lengthy documents to cover situations that never ever ever happen. No doubt some bright spark has asked “what happens if this happens” and it’s a scenario no-one has thought of.

Not a dealbreaker. Just something to be discussed.


You have not just admitted to being a lawyer have you? ?

Mr ITK himself with an update I'm sure none of us are surprised by :ROFLMAO:



At last the man has spoken!

I’ll be amazed if it’s sorted before the weekend unless they’ve been working on this for longer than we are led to believe.

The announcement video has to be golf related, even if it's Harry and two other spurs players waiting for the last of the four-ball to turn up and turns out it's Gareth...with Reguilon as his caddy.
And then Bale looking into the camera and saying "Wales, Spurs, Golf.... In that order"

Jim White wants to make a story out of it for clicks. Where's the fun for them to say 'it's all done and dusted but won't be officially announced until Friday'?

Good man....but what's the movie???

it ended up dying that miserable Hollywood death. It was with Sony, Circle of Confusion and Basil Iwanyk - with the script by Adam Fierro. Adam did a two hour pilot but we didn’t get picked up during pilot season. Right now I’m inches away from the weirdest nostalgia trip ever, if the deal gets signed. But it’s dragging on like mad...

Anyway, back to Bale... :)

I actually believe he's getting his info straight from Bale's agents as I think they're quite pally - so he probably is up to date with it all.

My only concern over this deal is that it drags on for another 19 days then collapses and no chance of an alternative signing.
I would rather, if it is going to collapse, it collapse in the next 2/3 days, door closes on it, and we go sign someone else.

I know he hasn't played much recently for RM but has anyone watched him when he has and/or for Wales and able to comment on his current performance levels? Does he still have the same pace, the same rocket shot that he did when was with us?

If Madrid are demanding we pay 100% and wont budge, the only way this happens will be on a permanent deal with Bale forgoing the remaining £60m on his contract and accepting 1/3 of his previous salary, which is highly doubtful. If what Fabrizio is saying is actually true, we can forget about this one as it will not happen.
