Dubs are the favorites with Paddy Power to win the A.I. at 2/1, with Kerry second at 3/1. Dark horses haha !

They're favourites with Paddy Power too at the moment. Shortest odds I've ever seen for a dark horse.
Would Philly throw a few quid on this filly?
He has people talking and clicking anyway, which is the aim of the game.

Poor oul Philly was a better back than he is an intellectual. A sort of down market Joe Brolly :-)

Dark horses for what though? Another five in a row?

Watch out for Dublin in the long grass, playing all their games under the radar in Croke Park.

Some dark horses alright! 1/8 to beat Roscommon on Sunday and strong favourites at 2/1 to win the All Ireland.

He knows exactly what hes doing, this thread a case in point, hes creating talking points and building a media profile - you dont do that by being vanilla.

Fair play.

Maybe if he sticks to the football and stops mistaking himself for an expert on other stuff.

Even given his current association with a political party disguised as a soccer club :-)

I believe so. If they devoted as much time to the oul soccer as they do to other stuff they'd be flying.

Yea better if he went around regurgitating hot air and not giving a fiddlers elbow about trying to make a difference in society or helping those who are less fortunate. We need more selfish egotistical dour sports pundits.
