Sunday GAA

A lot less than 4-5 here ..hard to know what SJ would lay...Dublin look to be the dodgier part purely on Offalys ability over the years to have great championship matchs in them despite looking poor in league and is this not the dublin team who could not beat antrim last year?..Dublin 1-2 offaly 2-1 be more accurate if we take dublin v cats league final away...

I wouldn't think betting Dublin at 2/5 to beat Offaly is that great an idea. Tradition means a lot and Offaly will be relishing the underdogs role today while the favourites tag may not sit well with Dublin.

Cork will always give everything they have against Tipp and it shouldnt be forgotten that they beat them at this stage last year.

Its a double that may well come up but i think there are better 4/5 shots to be found

I am all over tipp on the hc !

Tipp would be my preference of the two bets...

we know league form goes out the window when it comes to championship and its set up for offaly to take the dubs down. Dunno how much the odds will change if it close at half time but it may be better to hold off the dubs until the second half

I'm with timberman here on this Cork have a very moderate team going by past standards and have little or no chance v the tipp machine once its well oiled... this year...fame and Glory for the short price dubbl and Greenbelt Star must have a great chance in the 4.25 at Leoprstwn.....

I fancy Tipp bigtime to beat Cork.......halfback line without leaders like Curran and O'Halpian looks weak.

Dublin have improved again and I believe they will cover the spread against Offaly......We all know Offaly are a proud county but wide open spaces against a not so pacey team with players carrying niggles......The Dubs for me.

Wexford are always hard to beat at home.

Good luck with the punting.

Have Ladcrokes priced up the player scores markets wrong? Especially Pat Horgan and Conal Keaney if they are freetakers today. Anyone any the wiser about this?

Conal Keaney at 1.72 for over 2.5, surely buying money?

Dublin -4 (4/6, Laddies)
Tipperary -4 (5/6, Laddies)

Works out over 2/1. Tipperary look nailed on to cover the spread against a much changed Cork team. Looks like a period of rebuilding for the Rebels and its far from ideal that they begin with Tipperary.

Dublin and Offaly is a little bit more complicated but Dublin are knocking on the door for the last few years. they seem to have steped up a gear this year and while they still make silly mistakes at times the more confidence and experience they gain the less mistakes that will occur.

Going to do a straight treble of Wexford, Dublin and Tipp aswell. Works out around 11/10.

I know league form goes out the window usually here but Dublin impressed me no end with their improvement this season - Offaly had a few valiant displays but were largely disappointing i thought.

I think Dublin will win easily by 6-7

Game of opinions tho and i may well be wrong [;)]


Im just on me way to Lads shop now that Conal Keaney to score over 2.5 points at 8/11 looks like buying money!!

Just done the same myself. Surely McCrabbe won't be on them?

I've done the same. Split my bet between Horgan and Keany...surely both can't be taken off frees today?

be interesting to see the crowd at croke park..15k would be as much as i can see there with very few from offaly and hurling in dublin still a bit player...

Now lets go Conal

The Dubs are gonna run up a big score today.......

Not good.

he will get 3 from play don't worry.

Jesus Conal you are getting no ball, take your score.

some heart from the biffos

should be level-dubs 1st pt blatant wide

some heart alright, impossible to keep it up though. dublin havent hit a ball yet they should run out easy winners if they are any good

Daly will make bits of them at half-time.....too much fluting about.

Wait till all the Dooleys(ie joe, billy & Johnie) have sons playing with offaly they will be unbeatable!!

Ton down the drain on Keaney here. Arghh hate giving it to Laddies.

That commentator is brutal

What did Keaney end up scoring? Nowhere near a tv, but I guess he is not on frees. Radio commentator said that he was influential on the game?

I think he only got a point.........He spent the game out around midfield.

Half time London 1-4 Mayo 0-4....

Thanks Gant...not what I was expecting.

London 3 points up at the break, bit of a joke considering must of these lads are just club footballers at home, very little intercounty experience i believe. Mayo won't be allowed back into the county if they lose this

Mayo 0 12 London 1 9, extra time

Beautiful sideline cut by McGrath.

wtf happened to Mayo?

WEXFORD 3-16 1-11 ANTRIM - res

Cork dominating in the air. Wasted so many chances. Should be winning this game.

Why in the name of jaysus do Cork persist with Niall McCarthy?

Scored 3 but should have had 6

Come on Cork.

Cork on a roll now.

2-15 to 0-20.

15 minutes left.

Oh my god how many chances do they want.

good shout on the double bjg although it got a tad hairy for a while.
SJ werent long about cutting odds to 4/11 & 2/9

Be interesting semi finals in leinster hurling now...id guess the prices at
Galway 1/1 Dublin 1/1
KIlkenny 1/6 Wexford 6/1 on 100% books

Was in a SJ shop saturday evening and Tipperary were only 1-3. Didnt bother asking for a price on Dublin.

I would like a piece of 1/1 Galway but I reckon it will be around 8/11 - 4/6.

I agree with you Gant still some of those odds compilers might get carried away with the Dublin story...Dublin were very short today too....

That's true Timberman.......fair play to the Dublin hurling set up......It shows that years of hard graft can pay off.
Galway will have a good blowout against Westmeath next weekend and ease JC back in.

yea...theres still something in my head saying this dublin team will calf when the real real pressure comes on....only for keaney at stages today the free flowing forwards were under pressure...the early wide that was a point and a poorly conceded penalty on offalys part wont happen other days....

I agree with you 100%.....The likes of Galway would give Offaly a 12/14 point hiding any weekend.......

yea heres hoping for close to evens anyways....tipp look like a good price at 1-10 if you could get it v clare...i'm off out cheers gant...
