Honestly don't know how to call it, Mayo were well on top when things settled the last day but a bit of rearranging in the team could really help Dublin. Don't think I'll bet anyone outright in this game.

yep. instead of dublin i like the other posters over 1.5 goals bet. they always seem to get minimum 2 goals against mayo whether its the league or the championship. and you dont have to worry about the result then. 13/8 with or without connolly looks too good to turn down.

I presume Connolly is out of the running for FOTY now?

I doubt it. He's been the best footballer in the country, if Dublin win on Saturday and he has a reasonable final he's a shoe in for FOTY

CurryFlavoured

I don't think he's even the best player in Dublin but he still has a shot if we make the final.

Opinions .. what makes GAA great. For me Connolly is head and shoulders above the rest of the team right up their with Cooper in terms of brilliance and ability and he is having a tremendous year.

Connolly is a supremely talented footballer with every skill you could want, but Christ almighty the fêting of his performances is beyond belief.

As ProudDub said (here or elsewhere), flashes of brilliance sure, but anyone who has been blown away by him this year or last year baffles me.

CurryFlavoured

Goes missing too often for me for a foty, went long periods without doing anything on Sunday. Jack's having a great year.

Shanee.

9/4 Dub for AI is a massive massive price. Expect them to be odds on come Saturday night.

Fuming I backed them at 10/11 before the Kildare game. Will probably go in again at 9/4.

i was planning a big bet on the dubs for the final against kerry. im not so confident now. ill still consider it if they impress me on saturday but i probably wont stake as much as id planned. really thought they would destroy kerry.

if mayo impress and ease past the dubs maybe kerry might be decent value. the bookies always seem to favor the side that knocks out dublin. might get kerry at 5/6 if were lucky. anytime you have mayo vrs kerry in croker its a mandatory bet

overturned. its going to be another nasty affair. ref needs to set the tone early on . if were lucky a game of football might break out

Be very surprised if you didn't land that one, Connolly or no Connolly tbh.

yep i would have only put 25 max on without him though. could have been worse i suppose. really hope the ref can set a good tone early on the next day.

i see mayo have named an unchanged side. bit silly that when we know there will be at least 2-3 changes. one forced

ianburke

appeal rejected he has one last avenue tomorrow.

Having a good bet on Dublin over 1.5 goals myself regardless if Connolly plays or not

Loafing Oaf

Speaking of Dublin goals, I was flicking through the match odds on oddschecker yesterday and saw Bernard Brogan - last goalscorer at 12/1 on Bet365. My heart leapt but when I clicked on the link it was for Alan Brogan. Don't do this to me guys...

Some odds of interest in the club football

Ballinderry 4/9 PP vs 1/7 Boyles
Dungiven game, both teams are 6/4
Glen v Banagher - Glen evens with Boyles, 9/4 with PP.

Anyone any ideas why the discrepancies, especially with Ballinderry, one would imagine 4/9 is quite generous.

The above games are all arb'able if decent money could be put on them.

ianburke

good spot. problem is the amounts. max i can get on ballinderry at 4/9 is 6.80. thats 1% so unlimited can only get 680 on. and going max bet may see acc limited so not sure its worth it

Any sort of big bet on club games in your account would see you limited fairly fast. Need to go to shops, but again you wont get enough on there to make it worth your while.
Ballinderry might be one for accumulators etc at 4/9 if they really should be 1/7, but I don't know enough about Derry club football to ascertain who has priced it up right i.e. should they be 4/9 or 1/7.

ianburke

great point never thought of the shop mate.thats the way to go with the bets surely. if its still there tomorrow ill get in and have a few qid. cant today

Connolly must be definitely out.

Dean Rock over 3.5 points at 10/11 is very interesting if he starts...

Not if he plays the way he did the last day. He did nothing in his 35 mins, and Mayo gave away barely any kickable frees. Maybe 2 or 3 all game, one of which Rock himself missed.

Absolutely agreed, it was very out of character from him last weekend though, he's been very consistent throughout league and championship over the last 18 months from placed balls anyway, though his contribution from play is up and down.

I'm hoping for Eddie Kinsella to be his whistle-happy self too. Considering he'll be on most frees and 45's and the fact he's 4/6 to get over 4.5 points elsewhere, I'll take some of the 10/11 for over 3.5 anyway and hope for the best!

i cant be arsed to check the replay of the game for the stats and cant find them online. but surely mayo had much more wides than dublin? pp have both teams 5/6 for most wides surely backing mayo is almost buying money?
