Well lads, I was taught a lesson this weekend after the last few. The exuberance of youth (I feel young!) I suppose!

Finally got a ladbrokes double odds payout thanks to quinlivan today, been doing one a game for tv matches for the past month. Super offer, pp giving double odd for first goalscorer in first 10 mins, down from 1st 15 mins last year (which prob cost them as favs were constantly banging them in early, brogan, connolly, Reid, o'Connor etc). Ladbrokes on seeing pp's miserly offering are giving double odds if the goal is inside 20 mins, u gotta watch the prices though, sometimes they can be way inferior to what's generally available, but all in all, it makes little sense to do first goalscorer bets elsewhere (prob makes little sense doing them at all, but I do enjoy the double odds enticement).

I'm thinking of putting a lump on Austin Gleason for the u21 hurler of the year at evens with Paddy Power. Nothing is guaranteed but can't see how he won't win it. What do you guys think

He will most likely be playing in the final so that helps you. Chris Bennett and Treacy for Dublin have been very good too. If Dublin win it out you would think one of their players would get it maybe

He has had a great year for the seniors also. That's why I am considering it. Ronan Maher from tipp is 6/4 with Connor Whelan at 6/1.

Is this a separate category just for under 21 or is this the Gaa young Hurler of the year award ?

This is the gaa young hurler of the year. To be eligible for the award players must have played in this year's u21 championship. I'm not entirely sure if it includes performances above u21 level but I thought it would have. Correct me if I'm wrong though

mickmackmcgoo

Well I'm sure those performances are taken into account. Tadgh de Burca won it last year but it wasn't based on under 21 performance as he only played one match. 3 get nominated. Gleeson and Maher will be 2 . Not sure if conor whelan was as good this year as last. Hard to think of anyone else though. Kk have no one for that category. Maybe Shane Bennett? Evens looks good but Ronan Maher could well take it

Yes a lot will depend on the rest of the results for the year.

Dublin V Donegal.

I'm thinking that Dublin should win this by 6.

After Donegal's performance against Cork, if they're defence is that porous again, they could cough up a lot.

If on the other hand, they revert to type and come with an intensity that they have really been bereft of so far this year, then it maybe closer than we think.

What are the thoughts on Dublin? Yes, they've had no big challenges to date, but they have the most complete panel in the country, so surely the competition for places should be enough to raise theit standards for this obstacle at least.

-4 is 4/6

-3 is 1/2

What are we thinking?

I think Evan Comerford for an All Star is great odds at 8-1. Restarts have been superb. Pulled off vital saves and is good in the air. There isn't as much of a bias to All Ireland finalists for all stars in football as there is in hurling. I think Ultimately Tipp will get 2 (maybe 3) to mark their remarkable run, playing football the way it should be played and being the talk of the summer. Quinlivan is a shoe in. Which leaves one from Acheson, Comerford, Sweeney, Kiely and Fox. Sweeney isn't in the betting which is a massive oversight considering his exploits in the last 2 televised games. I would watch the market for Sweeney. But out of all the Tipp lads mentioned I think Comerford has the least competition. Cluxton would seem the obvious choice but he is there on default at this stage. Comerford is an outstanding bet.

The u21 championship has little or no bearing on the Young Hurler of the year award. Players do have to be u21 to be eligible.

It's Gleeson's too lose, Ronan Maher the only threat and even at that I don't see him winning it.

It's based on the senior championship, his performances in U21 don't come into play.

Got MOTM against Clare, taken off against Tipp (should have been sent off), and couldn't stop hitting wides against Wexford.

It will come down to who gets to the final. If he has a poor game against Kilkenny then Auzzie might get over looked.

Quinlivan was 12/1 before Sunday to get one. Hindsight really is 20/20.

i'll be taking a look at paddy andrews at 15/2 for an all star if hes named in the XV vs donegal. The championship starts this weekend as far as I'm concerned.

80s Child

Babysitting here so I just thought I'd throw an accum together for the craic.
Clonguish 3/10
St Laurences 1/8
Clara 1/3
Sarsfields 1/14
Fermoy 1/4
Ballincollig 1/10
Trim 2/9
Padraig Pearses 2/5
St Martins 2/5
Navan O Mahonys 2/7
Castletown 1/6
Athy 1/4
Clan na Gael 1/4

It returns just over 20/1.

Disclaimer: I know nothing about these teams, just having a tenner for the craic.

Bill Maher to win an All-Star: 9/1.

To be fair, he has no chance. A nice young footballer all the same.

To be fair, that is an outrageous dismissal.

The only half back nailed on at the moment is Peter Harte. A lot of football to be played yet, and he has as good a chance as any to get one of the other two spots.

It's really not lad. Save your money, not trying to be smart and I can see the Tipp angle to some degree but this is football where all stars are at a premium.

Cannot see Tipp winning an all ireland semi, they will be under serious pressure in the backs and doubt too many of them will be getting massive credit after. I'd have Quinlivan, Acheson, Sweeney all ahead of him. Comerford has an outside chance by being a keeper but hed want to have a great game in the semi. Robbie Kiely is probably on a par with Maher at the moment.

So can you see 6 Tipp lads getting all star?

You've got Ryan McHugh, Peter Harte, James McCarthy as competition and given the contest in midfield they might even shift Acheson into the halfback category. You reckon he can overtake 3 of those?

Not for small stakes, but for big hitters and accums Mayo over 14.5 points @4/9 tomorrow is very appealing (and even over 16.5 @10/11)
Although Tyrone only conceded 11 v Donegal in Ulster final, that was played in Clones and will be a diff type of game in Croker v Mayo, they let in 5 goals in 2 games v Cavan
Mayo's qualifier games have accumulated 24 / 23 / 20.
A better comparison maybe Mayo's recent results in Croker v The Big teams (Donegal / Kerry / Dublin / Tyrone) which yielded :
2015 19 (V Donegal), 18 & 17 (Dublin & replay)
2014 22 (v Cork), 19 & 22AET (v Kerry)
2013 29 (v Donegal) 19 (v Tyrone) 17 (v Dublin)
2012 27 (v Down) 19 (v Dublin) 14 (v Donegal)

The only time they failed to beat 14.5 was v a Jim McGuiness Donegal team in the final where Donegal got 2 early goals and shut up shop.

Mayo haven't been the same team as previous years but do have a full contingent of forwards / mids available and I see them surpassing 14.5 and more than likely surpassing 16.5 too.

Same As

+1 I'm on this already - FYI you can have Mayo over 16.5 points at even money with Coral.

There's a rumour that Regan is gone, Dillion is in at 11, O Shea to 14 and Moran to 13.

O Shea over 1.5 is 11/8.
