I’ll give O’Dowd until COB today to come up with some sort of official/fudged Waterford explanation before I blow the lid on this[/quote]

[FONT=Calibri]I think I might know what this is about, heard a few rumours flying about Sunday evening. Have nothing concrete so can’t confirm or refute. [/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri]However you have the teams involved wrong. To avoid any erroneous besmirching of the good name of Abbeyside I think we should clarify the game in question was Passage v Roanmore. [/FONT]
there was a huge gamble on the first goal scorer (identity) by roanmore players, a well known ex county player from passage got it. Are you still in touch with anybody in Waterford hurling circles at all?
This is the talk of the Clare hurling intelligentsia now for near 2 days

He was 9/2!!!
There was no great conspiracy theory. There was just a huge gamble by anyone with an iota about Waterford hurling. Roanmore are shit. I think he scored something like 3-2 in the first half.
This wouldn’t be unusual in Waterford. Everyone is aware of the betting patterns of the un named forward in relation to first goal scored, it goes back years when he was still hurling for the seniors and well before that I believe. Don’t see the big deal if a bookie is willing to give odds on this bet, the same bookie should honour the bet.
I think those of us with any kind of a memory will remember a game in Thurles some years back when a player kept going for goals from frees from the strangest distances and angles until the first goal had been scored and then he started popping them over the bar.
