The Championship

[Declan]

How is that money looking now.
Galway fans are now hopeful.

 

[Aldo]

Right lads, bet of the week is Kerry's David Clifford to win RTE man of the match this Sunday, 7/2. The lad is a genius and likely to step up to the plate.

Hope everyone did this bet

 

[Declan]

Well it surely does s 50/50 for Kerry to win and he f so, he is certainly the man. So these odds are decent.

What is the spread.

Mabe him and galway to cover

Did Galway cover the spread

 

[Aldo]

Did Galway cover the spread

Nope. I didn't back them though

 

[Declan]

Nope. I didn't back them though

wow, the spread was 5 points or more??

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Dan I commiserate with you Sir. 20+ years is a long time to wait for an All Ireland final only for your County to come away empty handed.

Perhaps it was the nerves leading up to final day which made you behave out of character on here?

I get it Bro

Have you any idea how much money my galway bar took in in 2001 and 98.

I was the first only place showing the game on the South shore and I should have retired that night.

Is spread the same as handicap? I think so. Eh nah Galway were +4 handicap and they lost by 4.

That would be money back here, called a "push"

 

[Thelasthurrah]

No, bet would be a loser as the handicap draw was the result...

 

[Thelasthurrah]

Hope everyone did this bet

Unfortunately not, and I'm fairly annoyed with myself.

 

[Aldo]

It was a banker. I'm annoyed that I didnt put more on it

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Good to see 3 different winners of Sam in a row.

Glad for Limerick but its time someone stepped up now and knocked them off their perch.

 

[Declan]

No, bet would be a loser as the handicap draw was the result...

Money back here.

 

[Declan]

Or were they played to free the stadium for black Ukraines

 

[Thelasthurrah]

Money back here.

You can do draw no bet, but the odds are less....

 

[Declan]

You can do draw no bet, but the odds are less....

That is better because they are so accurate that the score is very often exactly on the spread.

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

You mightn't be that far off.

It emerged earlier this month that Ireland had run out of state accommodation for arriving Ukrainian refugees. | ITV National News

And if they play rugger in Nigeria these Ukrainians will be right at home.

I am glad to hear he is still alive. He ran a pub and chicken houses. He was an identical twin with Mackey. It was hard to know who was who.

Tommy was selected and Mackey was not. Mid way through the game, Tommy got injured with a sprain. Mackey slipped in to the dressing room and changed. He played the second half as Tommy. This definitely happened. but I cannot stand over the exact details. I heard it several times from men and women who were there and I believe it. They were both rip roaring Fainna Fail men. Jimmy Leonard was their man and he is still alive.

Tough hardy men they were. Tommy would work all the hours there was. Hardly drink any or very little.

Update........Tommy Moyna died this morning aged 93

[Coal Gas and peat]

RIP. He was Fianna Fail mad. He would bring in all the auld blind fellas to vote. Jimmy Leonard No 1. Jimmy never spoke one word in the Dail.

Then in 1981 his son Tommy Jnr canvassed for Ciaran Doherty H Block. Both got elected.

Did you vote number 1 for Kieran Doherty H-blocks candidate ?

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Val has never voted Shinner Sir

 

[Declan]

That is the worst insult I have seen on any irish forum, against the second smartest man in Ireland to boot

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Val has never voted Shinner Sir

Kieran wasn't shinner he was full on provisional IRA candidate

 

[Declan]

That could be read two ways.

That is true.

The first of the all Ireland club semi finals has thrown in kilmacud crokes (dublin) versus kerins O'Rahilys (kerry)

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

He must go to confession and then to mass and receive holy communion. That was his cure. That is true,

What was his confession Sir? It must've been something big to get off his chest. Had he killed a man?

My mate's Da won an Ulster Championship with Monaghan way back when. His name was Traynor from Ballybay.

Ballybays for drinking tae
And in Monaghan they drink brandy
But up in Carrick it's sweet sugery candy

 

[Declan]

A trainor was part owner in The Field Pub in Cambridge Massachusetts I think it was, or was it The Phoenix Landing.

He was not as well known as me of course whose place was more popular with irish.

Fossa play Stewartstown this weekend in the Junior final. A good bet would be the Fossa handicap at evens. They have David Clifford, at 23 as already amongst the greats of the game. He could have a field day in Croker.

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

It was a fathers advice to his son. The sin the son committed was that he joined the IRA

Would there have been much IRA support in kingscourt? ........Cavan as whole was patchy enough

this happened....with 6 red cards in the last 10 minutes......both Clifford sent off along with 4 Stewartstown players

Mental ending there. Stewardstown lost the head. What a horrible foul on Páidí Clifford.

David Clifford is some player

 

[twochinsmanyarses]

Two good matches this weekend. Hard to call the football but I give kilmacud the edge. Ballyhale should win comfortably against Dunloy.

Glen will be putting in a big performance , this has been building up for a while under malachy O'Rouke , taking out Kilcoo was big , I'll definitely be tuned into this one ......I respect the danger of Shane walsh and others in crokes lineup

Aye O'Rourke's a good manager all right. It's amazing the difference a really good manager can make to a team. Micky Moran transformed Kilcoo and won an Ireland with them.

I was disappointed with Glen in the Semi final; that might have been nerves playing in Croker etc..

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Very unsatisfactory ending to yesterday's all Ireland club football , kilmacud ended the game with an ineligable 16th player on the field defending a Glen 45

In other news Kerry's David Moran has retired .....along with Mayos Lee Keegan two high level players have left the playing arena

 

[twochinsmanyarses]

Apparently O'Rourke doesn't want to replay. What the fuck were kilmacud thinking?

 

[twochinsmanyarses]

Btw what a save that was from the Kilmacud keeper at the end
