Exchange? Couldn’t see price on PP so assumed Betfair Sportsbook would be same

[RunningBelowXg]

Sorry - PP have market up now

11/4 has to be seen as value there

+4 handicap 10/11 nice

[myboyblue]

The whole thing has lost a bit of momentum in recent years. Be interesting can it be reignited

[peddlerscross]

At the end of the day, if you don’t border Tipperary, you have very little prospect of ever sustaining progress.

[myboyblue]

True for ya. They have Laois but there’s only so much we can do for them

[endakenny]

I know the bookies do be usually fairly accurate on these handicaps but I can see Galway getting a comprehensive win over Offaly at the weekend.

I just wasn’t impressed with Offaly in the league final when I saw them in the flesh v Waterford and think they’ll eventually get a clipping along the line.
They would have expended huge amounts of energy in that narrow loss to Dublin.

Now Galway were crap last week but those first two goals were defendable. I don’t have the stats off hand but Galway generally hammer these tier 2/1.5 teams. I’ve 3 points on them -5 v Offaly.

I’d agree with you on Galway if this wasn’t the biggest home game for Offaly in the bones of a decade. Possibly more.

In the last few years they usually put up big scores against the antrims and westmeaths.

Is overall scoring diffference the tie breaker for three or more tied teams? That would be a big incentive for higher winning margins. Wexford, Galway and Dublin could easily end up on the same points.

Is it not like a mini league between those three teams?

[Bestmate]

I think Dublin over 1.5 goals At evens is a good bet would be worried bout Wexford full back line, Antrim missed a pen last week and few more goal chances

Kildare 2/1 vs Westmeath Joe McDonagh

Can’t imagine spirits are too high in Westmeath after the beating last week. Things been tender for a couple of months anyway and Bulfin prob tried to play the hard man this week giving it the biggun. Doesn’t work and I think players are wishing the season away already.

Kildare even in a loss at home to Kerry had 65 mins of a good game. Fair enough they conceded 5 on the bounce to lose by a point but that wouldn’t read to me like a poor performance etc given they were only marginal favs as it was.

I actually backed them pre-comp to win it outright, and while that’s perhaps pie-in-the-sky stuff, I like them.

Another home game for them and it’s a do-or-die mentality - a win and they’ll feel like they’ll be safe in McDonagh at worst. Compare to Westmeath who’ll be in panic stations after a fair whipping by Laois.

Not even half time and Kildare leading 2-14 to 8 points

Great shout

[myboyblue]

Westmeath are a shambles - whodathunkit

[RunningBelowXg]

Oh baby

Galway walked in, had a smaller stake on them at -7 so good days work.

Saorise Bluffin on thin ice I hear. He won’t escape a 2nd coup

[myboyblue]

He shouldn’t have made it out of the league

[YellowBib]

The Charleville boys thought he was an awful bluffer last year
