Sligos odds are tempting

[blanketattack]

Each of the 4 semi-finalists have won 2 of their last 3 provincial titles.

WTF! Who won the other one of their last 3 provincial titles? 

[Ciarrai_thuaidh]

Bloody ridiculous venue for the Kerry v Sligo game.

[Rossfan]

Ye always get fkn  Ennis or Limerick for games v Ros

[Ciarrai_thuaidh]

I don't like Ennis but it's the obvious and fairest venue for this game and a good pitch.

Rossies haven't done too bad in Ennis v Kerry anyway!

Sligos odds are tempting

Yeah - I would have said it was fairly even between the 4 sides in terms of picking a winner.
Wouldn't touch Kerry at those odds - beyond the 4 goals Clare scored, they gave up an amount of goal chances in the Cork game.
This was in a game where Cork were pretty awful but Cork still had at least 5+ good goal chances.
They might win it out but 11/8 looks terrible value.
Definitely think there might be value in backing Sligo even if it's just to beat Kerry or beat the handicap in that game.

The Sligo and Kerry odds are almost totally based on history and reputation.
If the entire squads were swapped, the odds wouldn't differ.

I agree, it looks like a very tight one having watched both sides (on TV) and given the venue Sligo might have a slight advantage now.

Sligo manager in the interview there said Dillon Walsh who on his 18th birthday who scored the winning point in the Connacht final nearly died with Meningitis, on the road to recovery now and watching today's semi final in hospital

[Blowitupref]

Speed recovery to Dillon Walsh.  Cagey enough half of football with defences on top.  Half time Kerry 0-6 Sligo 1-3.

40 mins played Kerry in front 0-8 to 1-4

50 mins played level game 0-8 to 1-5

55 mins played Sligo in front 1-7 to 0-8


Serious good result for good Sligo team.  FT Sligo 1-8 Kerry 0-9

[armaghniac]

Well done Sligo.

Great stuff Sligo, super achievement.

Any word on what the venue for the final will be?
