I would disagree. Really looking forward to it. We all know the format so no winner until the league final. Play fringe players and I fancy Derry strongly. Play a full team and I would give the Dubs the nod. Also for a team like, Leitrim, for example- they will take a big crowd to Croke Park and a league final appearance will be huge for that county. For Derry it's a chance to win silverware and in the Division three final another good game that may have an effect on qualifying for Sam. I like the league finals and can't wait for next week.

Last year was just an anomaly realdub. The 2 best teams in the country were just hiding out in the long grass of div 2. They've been found out now repeating their pairing in Div 1 final this year. ;-) has that ever happened before?

Yeh it's true for the less successful counties but I still think a league is a league.

Derry won't be anything at near full throttle next week. Harte knows they are a mile off Dublin and last thing he needs is,a hammering of a full strength team going into Ulster. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2466 - 24/03/2024 20:58:55 2533327 Link 0 |
Odds cut from 5/2 to 15/8. Not a fan of ante post generally but 16 weeks is not that long to wait for sure thing. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2466 - 24/03/2024 21:26:39 2533340 Link 0 |
Dublin and Kerry are joint favourites with a few bookies. Kerry 9/4 with others. Kerry will improve massively imo. They will be delighted to go in with not a lot of hype this year on the team. 11/2 Derry Anything can happen between now and then. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3684 - 24/03/2024 21:50:03 2533349 Link 0 |
I think Dessie will continue to give the new or younger lads, a run out in the league final. He defo won't be showing his full bag of tricks either. Most teams keeping their cards close to their chest so far. But compared to last season, the Dubs are in a better position than 12 months ago, both in terms of league position and squad depth. But it is only March, so a long way to go yet, and lots to improve on. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3684 - 24/03/2024 21:58:08 2533355 Link 0 |
No bookie has Kerry as joint favourites now. PP cut Dublin to 13/8 as some of us topped up the 15/8 mentioned above. . 11/8 with Boyles. Dublin 1/2 to beat Derry on Sunday is also a great bet. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2466 - 25/03/2024 14:01:18 2533575 Link 0 |
