You got odds.
Figure it out.
Why?
You donāt know if you said it?
You canāt even back yourself against making such a bad judgement call.
I want guarantees and you canāt provide it.
Do you have money problems?
Kildare denied Galway promotion in a similar situation some years back at Pearse Stadium. 2012 I think.
Iām sure I remember Johnny Doyle putting away a controversial last minute penalty to draw the game.
I didnāt say it.

Deflection as usual.
You were given the odds and the parameters.
Iām the bookie. I call the shots.
You donāt call the shots.
You offered odds. I have committed to depositing the money but you have given no guarantees about your stake in it. Itās not a gentleman agreement as you are not a gentleman, youāre a conman.
Tom Parsons comes across as the nicest man in Gaelic football. Always very mannerly and you can tell heās always trying the give the interviewer an interesting response, because the interviewer has a job to do too.
I bet he voted to give Pat Holmes and Noel Connelly another year.
Gentleman Tom is also emerging as a really big player for Mayo. Heās no fancy Dan and is not blessed with silky skills but heās as honest as a June day is long and puts in a power of work every time.

Isnāt he from Sligo?
Wouldnāt he be more of a gentleman if he went and played for his county of birth?
His responses were really considered and thoughtful alright. He was the same during RTEās glitzy* 90-minute championship draw programme back in October.
*boring.

Heās from just inside the Sligo border but has always played his football for Charlestown, which is his nearest club.
The GAA is full of these anomalies. Enda Muldoon is from Tyrone, for instance, and also Ballaghadereen is in Roscommon but is in Mayo for football purposes. Iāve never quite understood the latter.
Fascinating last round in store next week.
Monaghan host Dublin and a victory would put them ahead of Dublin and into the final. A draw would do Dublin.
Donegal also know a win against Mayo will put them in the final. A draw might well be enough. Even a defeat could be enough. They have the advantage on Monaghan in scoring difference.
Kerry could still sneak into the final with a win over Tyrone and defeats for Donegal and Monaghan but will have to overturn a scoring difference of six points on Donegal in the process.
Tyrone could make the final with even a draw in Kerry, if Donegal and Monaghan both lose.
Even Mayo, theoretically, could still make the final if they thump Donegal, but thatās a long shot.
Cavan need Donegal to beat Mayo and Kerry to get at least a draw at home to Tyrone to stay up, presuming Cavan themselves beat Roscommon.

It used to be in Mayo, but the border was redrawn like whatās being attempted in south KK WD now.
Robbed with that penalty in pearse a few years ago, think it was kinsella that cunt. I can see us falling short again.
I do call the shots.
Would you ask Paddy Power to show his bank account?
Would you ask a traveller at a dog fight seeing as ye are into that kinda thing?

Haha. You expect me to swallow that?
Youāre not a bookie.
If you laid a bet on Betfair you would need to stump up your risk straight away.
Itās quite clear.
Agreed.
Major problem is that it is only implemented properly in a handful of fucking games. Refs making odd calls is one thing but there have been games where the rule has been completely ignored
