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"

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.

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]

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.

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
