More or less same as Ladbrokes there:curl:

[pineapple stu]

Derry are excellent value; we're very much weakened on last season. Cork at 8/13 against Mervue is a free pint or two.

[Dodge]

I like Rovers at 7/4 to beat Sligo

Think I'll be investing a large sum in Pats/Bohs/Dundalk treble too (if I can get over my fear of backing pats)

[passinginterest]

Bray at 15/2 look decent value to me. Pat's are solid if not spectacular and Bray have a decent squad and are not as bad as the defeat to Bohs suggests. I think it's worth a few euro anyway.

[Longfordian]

Yeah Bray or the draw could be worth a look. Other than that, Derry, Dundalk, Harps and Cork. Wexford/Longford draw too. Will have a further look later but I'll probably back some of those.

[ifk101]

Away wins for Derry, Harps and .... Longford.

A win for the Magic Moans with the added Roddy effect perhaps?

[Ezeikial]

If Bray and Drogheda re both 15/2 and Galway 17/2 there is no contest for the best bet of those three.

Only Bray have a realistic chance of winning - reasonable long shot bet

[bullit]

Going for over 2.5 goals @ 10/11 in the Dundalk/Galway match and Dundalk win 2-0 @ 5/1 .

[CSFShels]

I like Longford at 2/1.

[holidaysong]

A Dundalk, Limerick, Bohs treble for me looking at those odds. Works out at slightly over evens.

[Longfordian]

Just reading Mike Kerley interviewed on extratime he played seven u18s against Waterford and will be working from the same squad again more or less for Harps. Athlone have a good youth set up but I can't see them matching Harps who are by all accounts a strong team. Though I'd add the caveat that I thought Waterford were certs against them last weekend. As regards us, I dont know, we did well for good spells in the game last week and it should be close but as it's our first away game I'd like to see how our form holds up away from home. It was a problem last year but our defence looks more solid this year. The draw appeals to me.

[Sam_Heggy]

A North-west Treble wouldn't be completely out of the realms of possibility. Tough call though.

[harpin]

Had a nice treble of Pats, Mervue and Shels last week

This week Derry, Cork and Harps?

[Longfordian]

Gone for a miniscule accumulator of Bohs, Pats, Derry, Cork, Harps, Dundalk.

[Dublin Red]

Gone for Bohs, Dundalk & Derry treble.

Also a small outside bet on Bray.

[micls]

Went with Pats, Dundalk and Cork City.

Also a fiver on Kearns for first goal at 10/1

[colinf]

was looking for dundalk -1 or -2, but best value is 10/11 on over 2.5 goals as said above. should be wins for bohs and dundalk, also like cork at 8/13. nothing much different from everyone else on here.

[passinginterest]

Waterford away to Monaghan is the other one that's tempting me. Waterford have a game under their belt and after a poor performance will be looking to make up for it here. Monaghan will be boosted by the arrival of Collins but it doesn't alter the fact that they've had a disrupted pre-season and no competitive game yet.

[colinf]

i think monaghan will be very poor this year. have lost a load of players, hughes, gartland, o'connor, hanaphy, and more. dont know have they replaced them. think last season was a once off

[pineapple stu]

Last season couldn't have been a one-off seeing as they'd done very well in 2009 as well.

Check out the transfer thread stickied. A few good players they have signed

[pineapple stu]

I've actually unstickied it now that the season's underway...! But it should still be linked in in the general resources sticky.

[hoopy]

Think I'll be investing a large sum in Pats/Bohs/Dundalk treble too (if I can get over my fear of backing pats)

That's the Paddy Power special 7/4. Unusual for one of those specials to come up, though there's always a first time.

[colinf]

i dont rate any of their new signings tbh. shane barret's done nothing for about 5 years now. injuries have killed his career. rogers possibly past it at this stage, bit of a journeyman. dont recognise some of them though, maybe theres one or two good ones in. looking at the departures, all them were there better players last year. even bermingham has been a decent FD player over the years. barry clancy scored alot for them last season too. hanaphy always came off the bench and popped up with a few goals. hughes top scorer. id say they'll finish about 5th/6th. hopefully im wrong though, love to see them in premier. i fancy cork this season

[Mr A]

Went for the Bohs and Dundalk double at about evens. Bray put me off the treble, don't think they're as weak as Galway and Drogheda currently.

[colinf]

with everyone backing bohs and drogheda one of them are definatly going to draw or lose

[Longfordian]

I'd say it's a certainty one of Bohs or Drogheda will draw or lose..

[eL Bettor]

Laid Pats at 1.41 on Betfair. Bray to win or draw the value this weekend IMO

[OneForTheFuture]

with everyone backing bohs and drogheda one of them are definatly going to draw or lose

I hope you were trying to throw some wit around the room!

[sligoman]

Derry/Cork double.

Dundalk -1.

Both will fail.

[SupaJon]

I went with a Dundalk, Pats, Bohs win & UCD draw accumulator thingy.

[Magicme]

@Colinf Rogers looked far from past it. He worked his covered butt off. We have a stronger squad than last season imo and only Garto and o'Connor will b missed really.(no offence to Clancy and hanaphy)

[Bray-Z]

I went with a Dundalk, Pats, Bohs win & UCD draw accumulator thingy.

Betting against your own team!

[SupaJon]

Betting against your own team!

Well, it worked out well enough!
Any result for us in Inchicore would have been better than the few bob return on the punt.

[passerrby]

have to agree magic first 30 mins was poor nobody going close then the mons had a couple of chances near the end of the half. management made a fews moves around the pitch and mons dominated the second half and should of have another one maybe two. great start to the season.
