Well Paddypower have Oz as 4/9 favourites to win so I think you are among the minority with this opinion.

Most players love it. Only a few absentees that don't have pressing club concerns that prevent them from featuring.
Quote from: Max Payne on October 28, 2014, 11:58:38 AMSurprising there is only one Dub on the panel! What about MDMcA or Brogan or even Cluxton? Did they not make themselves available?

The all stars as a format is done. This year proves it. One player plays two games and gets one. Some players play well all year and don't. It is the team of the year and player of the year. Yet it's not picked on the basis of the year. Just August and September. The players getting ones out of position going on too long as well.
The semifinals and finals and to a lesser extent the 1/4s are all that really matter. Picking All-Stars based off the provincial c'ships is like Fifa basing the Golden Ball winner on the qualifying matches.

Donegal have been allowed a one week delay to have a team ready to play in the Senior and Intermediate Championships on the 9th of November. Can't see this being extended.

5500, or thereabouts, in Armagh.
1. The Armagh SFC has been a formality for Crossmaglen for the past 20 years
2. The increase in price of tickets up to £13
3. The option to watch the games live online from home for £3
The Stand (capacity 5600) was pretty full, more so than most county games, and there some hundreds, if not one thousand, in the terrace. I thought it a creditable attendance in the light of the above. I wonder how many did they get on the Internet?
As an aside, the online stream is a God-send and albeit temperamental at times - I would recommend anyone from other counties to maybe give it a try next year.
The money stream coming in for the CB at the minute must be pretty significant. Say there were 4000 full price patrons and maybe another 4000 online watchers(I heard that was an approximate figure for some of the streamed games this year). That is an income of approximately £65000. That is a serious taking and should make a fair dent into the financial black hole that is the county finances!

Niall Carew is new Sligo manager.
Interesting character here lads. Was with McGeeney in Kildare and became well known for his antics in the papers. Then went to Waterford and made no impact. During the summer he was in the papers again for winning 250k on a massive accumulator bet! Now he's heading up to us for a shot at Sligo.
I'm not sure what to make of this appointment. Any thoughts out there?

Any level? He is the manager of Kilcar.
He's joint manager of Kilcar as far as I know. Therefore has never managed any team, ever, as No.1. Whilst I think he'll do a good manager, there's not many who take on a county job, if any ever? Whos first sole Bainisteoir job is a county job.

So who goes in the Munster Club? Austin Stacks if they win, Dr Crokes if they don't?
Quote from: Syferus on October 18, 2014, 11:33:07 PMI'd still take Flynn over Connolly, consistent and reliable high-level output over such a long period is worth more to me than a mercurial talent. Connolly does have a good case for PotY, though.
QuoteConnolly's intercounty season
Laois 1-1
Wexford 0-2
Meath 0-1
Monaghan 1-2 (1f)
Donegal 0-5(1f)
He scored 2-11 in 5 games with 2-9 of it coming from play.
However I also had a look at the number of shots he took in the various games [from the dontfoul blog]
Against Laois he took 4 shots, 3 against Wexford, 3 from Meath , 5 against Monaghan, and 7 against Donegal.
[These are just shots from play]
So basically he took 22 shots and got 10 scores. [a 45% strike rate]
