Hurling Question

Like asking how long is a piece of string.

You might as well just look up the spread for the match today and that's what the actuary has worked it out to be.

Not something I would ever think about to be honest, bookie would give you odds as a novelty bet, but you'd be only guessing, pot luck really?

But you can try this site,

For the record in last years All Ireland replay Henry Shefflin scored 2 from play 5 frees and 2 65's

Joe Canning scored 2 from play 5 frees, one 65 and one sideline cut.

3/4 be the norm with about a 75% conversion rate with 2 previously mentioned Shefflin & Canning as accurate as your likely to get at them.

Bet365 are going 11/10 that there are over 2.5 65's in today's match. Looks like picking up money!

Plenty games have nil return for 65's, so a dodgy bet.........you need 3 to collect.........

It's total 65's awarded so hopefully there should be three or more.

Remember you are dealing with Refs and umpires who usually give the impression that a visit to spessavers would not be out of line.....good luck with that bet.....

could be a value but 365 means buttons for most of us

is anyone else pricing it?

like tossing a coin really..them bets are dodgy.i rem doing one years ago .i think it was 2 1/2 was the figure.2 in first 10 min.none for rest of game.

And the whole wide world hoped Tipp beat Kilkenny today, did Kilkenny win again?

Why? because when the chips were down they won virtually every baall, why then does everyone hope Ki;kenny lose?

Everybody hates Man Utd are Kilkennt becoming the same as Man U, anybody but Kilkenny?

Hurling fans don't hate Kilkenny.......it aint soccer.

gant believe me I was up in my own club watching the match and they nearly creamed themselves when tipp got a point?

it was a great game.tipp will be happy to have been competitive .surely they have a better workhorse than bonner maher?he looked like a handicapper among g1s.i have tipp bkd at 4s for all ire and evs in munster,,. a trading opportunity at least

Kilkenny won without their 4 biggest forwards on the field,Shefflin ,Power ,Reid ,and Walsh.

That's bad news for everybody else.

Evens for Tipp in Munster looks pretty tasty now all the same.

What a team Kilkenny are, Tipp had everything in front of them but once it became to winning and losing? who won? KIlkenny yet again, never panic and let the best man win, thats why I admire Kilkenny hurling!

Irish Celtic, that may not be the case at all, as these players,are all injury prone, and are attemting to come back from injury, in some cases serious injury, and we all know thats not ever easy. However i do agree that the Champions have set the standard are will not lightly give up the McCarthy cup. Again its obvious that it most likely concerns 3 teams KK, Tipp., and Galaimh, add to that imho Limerick which I expect to be best of the rest.

You shouldn't need to trade your munster bet. They look good things to be best in Munster.....

i wont jay.if they are in the all ire final ill trade the 4/1.

And oh gant Kildare has a huge particularly Newbridge Kilkenny diaspora becuse of the biggest military camp the curragh camp been nearby, yet yesterday I couldn't believe the animosity for Kilkenny?

Maybe its just jealousy, silver... KK are so far ahead of the rest.......more power to them,..................

Jealousy, you can rubber stamp that!

Galway thought they had Kilkenny exactly where they wanted them?, talk about regrouping and learning from your mistakes the replay was a Kilkenny free for all, the final scoreline didn't do justice to the total domination of Kilkenny in the replay?.

Doubt very much Galway ever thought they had KK where they 'wanted them' In fact had they not played with such a fear of KK in the first game of last years AIF they'd probably have won relatively comfortably.

Mr.Mischief, they won Leinster beating a cocky Kilkenny who started to believe in their own invincibility?, Galway hitting them with a ferocity that KIlkenny are not really use to in Leinster, same again first half in the All Ireland final, here was a Galway straining every single sinew, yet it was Galway that was hanging on by the skin of their teeth at the end.
Kilkenny had by this stage regrouped and the physical maul was now been exploited by sheer superiority, how Kilkenny were not out of sight by half time in the replay is a mystery?. Kilkenny were rampant but missed a plethora of opportunities to kill the game off, but 3-22 to 3-11 final scoreline wasn't even a true reflection of Kilkenny's almost total dominance, yes Canning hit the foot end of the post and who knows it might have gave Galway a new lease of life but in all fairness they really should've been wiped out well before that?.

Galway missed their opportunity in the 1st game sg. Either side of ht though, a flurry of silly frees and bad wide's disrupted their momentum and KK and, more specificly Shefflin, sensed blood thereafter. Cody himself was visibly distessed on the day. Galway were sitting ducks in the replay truth be told, even then though a questionable disallowed goal by Cyril Donnellan was needed before KK asserted any real superiority,

To be fair that is a very average galway team you are talking about,go through from 1-15 and there are a lot of weak links,allied with a mediocre tactical management team
