Df I take it your talking about me I just have a feeling Offaly might sneak this as Limerick performance have not being great so far. I expected Limerick to be putting massive scores in 1b and by all accounts should of being beaten last week, Offaly will be fighting for their lives this Sunday so it's nothing against limerick before you go off on one.

You not the only one realtmo. Im not one for going off on one by and large. Limerick were dire last sunday and for 50 mins or so were little better against Antrim. To be fair though with Na Piarsaigh players resting and with giving new lads a run we have been unsettled. We will be getting better from here on. To go to Cork and play for 45 mins with 14 men and come away with a draw is result of the league so far. Ill do a deal with you if you like. Give you a 3 point gap so if limerick don't beat offaly by more than 3 points I will give 200 to a charity of your choice. If they don't will you give 50 to Barnardos ?

Offaly are due for a BIG win as it's been a while since they beat a team they weren't supposed to beat. I fancy Limerick but if Offaly won it wouldn't shock me at all.

I thought this was a prediction forum wit no debates. People r entitled to choose whom they want even if they predict Kilkenny wud beat Dublin in football. Let's stick to d point of d post ere plenty of other forums for debate.

Asked for the logic wild pundit. Not debating anything. Now offering a charitable donation if I am taken up it will be good for charity.

Jesus lads is it a crime to ask why some posters predict a loss for a team who are unbeaten ( while admittedly playing poorly) against a team that has lost every game so far?

Offaly vs Limerick: Limerick by 7

Antrim vs Cork: Cork by 16

Wexford vs Laois: Wexford by 5



Personally DSF Offaly always have a game in them. REAL TMO, was it the fact Limerick were always in front and were six up till the last puck that they deserved to lose?. In truth Wexford played well but Limerick were never in danger and i was there. Like to see Wexford keep going and i thought Chin was excellent.

Have to disagree Hoover. Both teams were sub par mainly due to conditions and us missing about 10 starters. Limerick were very much in danger. We had far more chances and with a little more experience or killer instinct you'd have been well beaten.

DF

I like others am waiting for offaly to burst out one big performance and I think it could be this weekend. On form limerick are the obvious choice but I just have a hunch

Don't think so Doyler, six points clear with a minute to go suggests otherwise. Limerick were always in hand. The end of the day it was a Limerick win and that is all i care about, we do what we need to at this time of the year.

Funny feeling Waterford will do the business in Ennis...Forwards weren't up to scratch last week but with Jake Dillon back things will favour us..
Well worth there 9/4 odds.
Hardest game to call is Galway V Tipp. Unimaginable that by Sunday evening Tipp could be in a relegation fight.

I second WildPundit also!

What I find ironic is why this seems to bother you disillusiondfan as it seems you think the result is a foregone conclusion.

A secret as to why people might be going against the odds on this one - Offaly are involved

Well like my own county I need to bounce back after last weekend's bad predictions also! Hoover78 I wouldnt be reading too much into any game at this time of the year and on their day, any county could beat anyone. We all know the only difference between the 2 teams on Sunday was Limerick took their chances and Wexford didnt. That was the difference. But good luck to you also, I hope Limerick keep up the progress and have a good long season ahead....while also hoping Offaly do us a massive favour on Sunday! From talking to some people walking out of Gaelic Grounds on Sunday, they werent overly confident of winning in Offaly.

Dublin v Kilkenny: Kilkenny by 4
Clare v Waterford........Clare by 3
Galway v Tipp............Tipp by 3

Offaly v Limerick........Offaly by 1 (maybe wishful thinking but Offaly have 1 big game in them and by god I hope it is Sunday, no offence to our Limerick posters who were all lovely at the match last weekend!! Offaly put it up to Cork at the weekend and are getting vital players back)
Antrim v Cork............Cork by 4
Wexford v Laois..........Wexford by 4.
