PF when you say you're brilliant how good is that? Do you keep a P&L? Or any sort of record of units won? Genuine question btw

Did you see the run of Classico Supreme tonight PF? It is fair to say that he may have won with a level break!

Goalpost has been produced for the past 4 years at least. Seems no reason why it will not continue. I always read Kevin Egan on starbets for GAA during the year. He usually is a contributor to Goalpost as well.

I was down there and was at Harolds Cross on Monday.

There was quite a bit of verbals flying around about the decision to close Harolds Cross on Bank Holidays (think it is just the Monday not the Friday) and to cancel Monday racing in January/Fen next year. I think that was the jist of it anyway.

No more hijacking of the thread with dog chat from me RF - Apologies.

Still a while away but I'm liking Wicklow at 5/2 against Meath in Carlow on the 20th. The head would say Meath should be Fav's but not 2/5 on against anyone in the state they seem to be in. Game is in Carlow so Wicklow should bring a good crowd as well.

Kevin Egan also writes for The Galway Indepindent every Monday, mostly deals with local Gaa.  He is in cahoots with PP and is right far more often than he is wrong.  I always pay attention to him.

Distant View.........Who was the chap that changed Adrian Neilans mind last monday night.........he put forward a great case to open the stadium this monday night........The auld bucks behind him with the cheap jibes about limerick stadium and expenses were a disgrace.......the would give the shlbourne saturday night jessies a run for their money............Fair play to that man.

Is Noel Cummins still writing for Goal Post?, since its introduction he can barely disguise his dislike of all things Kilkenny hurling, he either tipped their opponents directly or in the handicap betting, he eventually got it right in 2010, a kind of told you so tip, conveniently forgetting about the scores of losing tips/bets when he almost religiously found an angle to oppose Kilkenny in some market or other in the years previous.

Goalpost is not a bad read if only to see what others are thinking, but they wouldn't influence my bets in anyway, I'm watching GAA long enough to be able to make my own mind up, whether right or wrong?.

The guys on Goalpost are human like the rest of us and have often got it spectaculary wrong, this is particulary true of Championship football.

I missed a bit of the debate (if you want to call it that) but I caught a bit from a Ballyboden member suggesting that they had 2,700 members in their club and if the IGB rented the stadium out to them on the Monday, that they would happily support it and more than cover the running costs for the night. He suggested that other GAA clubs would do the same.

Seemed like a sensible suggestion to me, as it would keep the place open and would generate a crowd.

As Rocketfingers says essential reading for people unable to form their own opinion.
