Talking Ryanair challenges Lufthansa to bet over Irish-German World Cup match outcome

Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary has dared his counterpart Jurgen Weber, CEO of Lufthansa, to enter a wager over the Ireland - Germany football World Cup match, German magazine Focus said in an extract from tomorrow's edition. . .. .O'Leary told the magazine under the bet, if Ireland beat Germany in the match in June, Ryanair would give away all its tickets from Frankfurt Hahn free the next day. He proposes that if Germany were to win, Lufthansa should be offering free tickets.. .==================================================. .. .Brilliant or what?? Come on Ireland, after all, England managed a 5-1!!!!!!!!!!

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?

Unhappy

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....
