Hmmm. No.
He’ll be living off his Cluxton bet for a while though.
Sad state of affairs when the keeper has to kick 45’s, and worse that he outscores the most of the forwards. Seems going on the gme tracker Connolly was back to his old self. :rolleyes:
Connolly was very disappointing indeed. He sunk even more so after the sending off when they needed him to step up. Alan Brogan showed tremendous leadership though.
Class act, but i’d like to see him at No.11. I’m only judging by reports and what lads are saying here, but it seems bar the full back line Dublin are still not really going anywhere in the vital places like the rest of the forwards outside the Brogans contributing and midfield not being up to it. Would that be fair?
Is the game worth watching? sounds like it is.
Brogan played #11 and was excellent. I think there may have been a spell post sending off when he did a stint inside with his brother but he was out in the half forward line for most of the game.
I think Dublin’s perceived midfield problems are overstated. They missed MDM when he went off as he was going well but Bastick was okay.
Barry Cahill was their last sub but cleanly won 2 kick-outs including for the move that ended with the winning free. I think he’s been very unfortunate to have been discarded somewhat.
Bandage Denis Bastick is not up to the top level at midfield. If he’s playing there come August Dublin will suffer. I worry for them that much of the personnel isn’t changing really and from the reports it seems Kildare just didn’t play 1st half. Anyway i’ll have a look at it.
I’ll start really worrying about the Dubs if they find replacements for Bastick, Brennan, O’ Flynn and/or Connolly takes his head out of his ass. Until then no All-Ireland.
Back in the groove after a few bad weeks. Benefitted from blue squares trading policy which denied me my accumulator but allowed me a bunch of cross trebles. Monaghan and wexford minors let me down but London made up for it.
I’ve backed Michael fennelly for hurler of the year anyway. Also have wexford footballers for leinster at 14s and will probably green up on that now. Backed tipp for the all Ireland over the weekend at 13/8 as well.
I haven’t seen the Mayo Galway game from the weekend. How good / bad were Mayo? From reports it sounded like utter dirge. Surprised to see that they’re odds on to beat Roscommon. I know Leitrim were dire against Roscommon but with Kilbride and Shine I would’ve thought Roscommon would be shorter than 6/4.
Dreadful. They’ll love the thoughts of going in against Roscommon as underdogs though and will be dangerous, but I’ve been following this group of Roscommon players for a bit now and would be willing to back them to win this one, especially with it in the Hyde.
They’re not underdogs though. They’re favourites. Boyles pay a 4/1 double for Cork and Roscommon both to win in 70 mins. I can’t let that pass. Seems completely wrong.
Mayo are favourites
All 6 forwards scored and their midfield dominated apparently, very un-Mayo like. Galway are muck though and that was a weird team they picked for yesterday. I’d say Rosscommon are more settled, but Mayo have the better overall squad. Higgins would be detailed to mark Shine one would think, so if he’s out then it could swing to Rosscommon.
Hyde Park is the clincher here, didn’t realise they had it at home. Good bet mac, will take it myself.
Thats ridiculous. There’s no way they should be favourites in this given that they’ve played two games and have reshuffled the pack and still didnt get much better. When Alan Dillon cant point a free from 20 or so yards, you’d be very worried for them, and as for Trevor Mortimer at wing back?! Not a betting man though, but I’d advise you to have a sniff of that. Everything about Roscommon just sees them in a far better place at the moment.
Waterford are 5/6 +6 against Tipp
Kilkenny are 10/11 -3 against the Dubs.
The Kilkenny one is very tempting.
Galway and Limerick will both beat the handicaps this weekend
I’d agree with you about the Clare crowd, but the Wexford folk are sound
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Your so right though it makes it even funnier.
:lol:
Conroy goal costs employers EUR10,000
28 June 2011
Paul Conroy cost his bookmaker employers EUR10,000 when he scored a goal for Galway in their Connacht SFC semi-final defeat to Mayo last Sunday.
The St. James’ clubman works for John Mulholland Bookmakers - along with goalkeeper Adrian Faherty - and the company agreed to hand back losing bets if Conroy found the net or Faherty saved a penalty.
“Paul went on and hit the back of the net to cost up in excess of EUR10,000 in refunds,” John Mulholland Bookmakers spokesman Kevin Breslin was quoted as saying in the Irish Daily Mirror.
"But the boss Alan Mulholland (who managed the Galway U21s to All-Ireland glory last month) was delighted to see Paul get on the scoresheet from a Galway point of view but disappointed to see Galway collapse from a winning position’’
Laz do you think ye’ll win Saturday?
Ye are very short (2/5)
I hope ye do win, so then I can resurrect my thread about Clare not having won a hurling match of consequence for 4 years.
