FAI Junior Cup 2009/10

[AlwaysAHoop]

Its that time of year again??
Just seen Paddy powers has the odds up on website.They have fairview Favorites at 8 to 1.Who do people fancy.

[studsup]

No Clare team makes it into Paddy Power's shortlist, over 1000/1 for the Clare clubs anyway

[blinkx]

Some stupid odds up on the site, I'll wait awhile to make any bet....

Fairview at 8/1 is quite ridiculous. Same with Pike at 20's, and Regional at 25's...

Not a lot of research done. Ballypheane @ 80/1 for a club that folded in the middle of the season last year that's pretty short odds...

8/1 for any club at this stage of the season is a bit short isn't it?

[hoop4life]

agreed, us at 33/1 and tralee at 40/1 when our first teams wont be taking part in the competition

[hoops12]

ya your dead right, you should be getting better value than that, i wouldnt back them with your money at 100/1!!! every year they bottle it after building themselves up all season long!!!:p:p

Fairview at 8's, bit short, but their names on the trophy, its great to see the great club back!!


and all the supporters who forgot where the fairgreen was for the last couple of years,welcome back lads cant wait ti hear the tripe ye will come out with

[sky blue]

did anyone tell paddy power that regional have lost half there team he has them at 25/1 to win the fai. i know where my money wont be going!:eek:

[Johnnie C]

Anyone happen to know when the draw for the opening round will be ?

[Innishvilla]

Anyone happen to know when the draw for the opening round will be ?

I think last years 1st round draw was early september, and the open round draw (5th round) was in November (late November).

[hoops12]

this is the year for the view to return to the top again



lets wait and see my friend

think ballymun will take beating again this year not too sure about the view being favourites though.

[Freddy]

I thought we were very unlucky not to get to the final last year..I really fancy Clonmel Town to go one better this year in the f.a.I. I dint think there will be many other teams besides us and saints from tsdl challenging tho!

[buddygeary23]

i think ballymun at 10/1 is a great bet and pike rovers at 20/1 also

[AlwaysAHoop]

A couple of sides from around my area St peters 22 to 1 and willow park 80 to 1 great price.2 very good sides..Loads of teams capable of winning it thou..

[Battery Rover]

St peters 22 to 1 and willow park 80 to 1 great price.2 very good sides

St Peters are a lot poorer than last season from what I have heard. Willow played an Athlone selection in a friendly a couple of weeks ago and lost by 5 but would definitely be better value at 80s than Peters at just 22s

Jeez, you really are putting your neck on the line there by predicting that there won't be many from TSDL apart from Town and St Michaels challenging....In fairness apart from those two and the odd foray from Peake Villa, how many South Tipp teams challenge?

Oh right i thought peters had lost no players and gained a few to there squad but i have only seen 1 peters game against a good st micheals side. and i was at the willow vs athlone game.willow added a couple of players maybe need 1 or 2 players more up front.but will do them as an outside bet.

[limfan]

Lisselton Rovers at 25/1 is worth a few bob at, last 16 in 2008, 1/4 final in 2009, they were a young side put together but over the past two seasons they have been making massive strides and winning the double over Tralee Dynamos the same team who are top of the A Championship right now.
I think the expierience they have got over the last two years will stand them in good stead this season and they are definately one to watch.

Im not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me there Max. You say that i am putting my neck on the line with the statement yet you end up kind of confirming my statement in the end anyway,,with the addition on a Peake Villa challenge? Anyway,no team in the TSDL outside these three mentioned will have any impact on the junior cup,,thats for sure.

It might be the same team that Lisselton did the double over but Dynamos main focus was by far on the A Championship at the time!

From Kerry soccer perspective I would like to see Lisselton do well in FAI but for me the downside for Lisselton this year is not playing any difficult games domestically in Kerry.

Are Lisselton not joining the Munster Senior League?

Yes that is certainly true, Lisselton will only be tested from outside the county with the only other talented team dynamos in the A Championship.

I think if Lisselton are only interested in winning the FAI and doubt they will be joining the MSL. It would be a shame to see players who cud be playing in the A championship wasting there careers away in the MSL.

[blinkx]

fairview will be very good this year they have all the best players in limerick by far 8s is looking good i no it small price but it looks good

Loved that statement. Quite hilarious. Typical small mindedness. The reason Fairview are the favourites is based off there record over the last 20 years and the fact they've won the competition a few times. Paddy Power won't have realistic prices for a few months yet.

[Get a life]

Fairview are 14/1 in Boylesports

[blackwood]

:ball:FAI

Clonmel
Carrick
Fairview
Willow Park
Ballymun

5 out of 8 1/4 finals

:ball: I am only learning :ball:

[blinkx]

whats hilarious bout it what other team in limerick and dont say pike or boro

Any team that has beaten Pike Rovers in recent years I suppose?

[limfan]

Does anyone know when the draw is on for the first rounds?

[no17 fan]

funny stuff,

as long as the view keep away from pike i think they have a great chance, not too sure about having them at 8's though.lots of good junior sides out there

So it will be at least early september before the draw is made.

ok if ye were focused on the A championship, but why play your strongest team available to ye in the 2 games against us if ye were interested in other competitions? it would of made sense to rest your best players rather than play them. you cant make excuses like that after ye lost. why play the games at all with that attitude. it devalues the competition by saying finalists not interested in competition. obviously ye think ye have moved on to bigger and better things and best of luck with that, but have some respect for what you left behind as that is where you made your name.

[celticlads]

this is the year for the view to return to the top again
Ye should look at regaining the power in limerick first before ye try to take on the rest of the country:D

[Get a life]

[Hairy Legs]

Draw has been made by numbers and the FAI have to corrulate those with the teams. The draw should be published tomorrow.

In other words, find the big teams and give them favorable draws?
