Yawn yawn yawn. Another piece of attention seeking from MOL. Presumably he'd honour this bet just like the "millionth customer free flights for life" arrangement?

Since when is ryanair officially representing the Irish Republic then???. .. .Besides, shouldn't it be the other way round:. .for each match Ireland loses, ryanair has to give away fr free all its tickets on the next day! Or would this be too much of a risk to our MOL?
would they pay up when Ireland lost? We've seen it all before; settling at the courtroom steps and requiring a confidentiality agreement. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />

Will they want the Irish team to pay them £50 for allowing them to keep this wager on file?

Will MOL also keep his word on this like he did in the "famous" free flights for life case that ended after a few years....
