Finn Harps 1/1 Draw 11/5 Athlone T. 5/2

---------------

I will stop Cork,Shels,& Bray this week by having a crafty 3x€10 doubles and a €10 treble :ball:

[Battery Rover]

Harps @ 1/1 might be value. Athlone missing 3 first choice defenders Ross Kenny, Paul Danaher and Joe Woods along with striker Mark Sherlock. We last won a game in Finn Park during the 1984/85 season.

SD Galway @ 5/1 might be worth a bet. Waterford are poor this season while SD Galway welcome back four players after injury / suspension - Colm Horgan, Timmy Molloy, Eugene Greaney and Mixie Harty.

[nigel-harps1954]

Wexford could take a point at Longford too. 5/2 might just be good value there.

[adamd164]

Drogheda 3/1 at home to Sligo looks good.

[Dave_SRFC]

3/1 is a decent price on Drogs v the poopy boys...

[wonder88]

That is great value for SD Galway; they can't be that bad surely. I think Bohs will win at Bray as well.

While your intentions may be good I must question your methodology. Taking a loss on the cork shels double? Better to just do the 40 quid treble (if you need bray to get your money back)?

But you might be okay, wins for bray, drogs and shels - as am taking bohs, sligo and mons (doubles and treble)

Devine's like a broken record yelling "press the ball".

[DannyInvincible]

An unmarked Meenan has just put St. Pat's 1-0 in the Brandywell with a looping header over Doherty on the stroke of half-time.

[Partizan]

approx 50 people at Terryland for SD Galway v Waterford of which half are Waterford fans.

Waterford line out in all green.

[adamd164]

Cork City 2-2 Dundalk after 14 minutes. Not bad :D

[Hibs4Ever]

Deserved lead for St Pats in Derry. In total control of the game

[adamd164]

Very wet slippery conditions at Turners Cross, let's just hope no one gets injured. Some more goals be nice though, just on our side please :)

[superfrank]

Ouch.

[DannyInvincible]

Terrible howler by Doherty. I thought he was poor for the first Pat's goal as well. Looked a bit casual.

[adamd164]

Christ that Derry fans drum is absolutely head wrecking.

[Acornvilla]

Good job pats won me some money tonight!

Have an accum on shams,cork,pats,limerick,waterford and longford, so cmon limerick! I think..

[kdjaC]

Dominated and scored 2 goals!!!

[ger121]

Goals galore again tonight

Pats looked the part tonight. Possession football they played was very impressive.

[kdjaC]

Pats fans bus had its windows smashed....never had any issues in Derry before.

:(

Nice one - still, imo, a bad bet; but can't argue with cash.

I'll bet against dundalk for you next week :(

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

Excellent performance from us tonight. Controlled the game for the most part. Drogheda had a good spell after half time but we got on top again for the last 20. Thought Quigley was excellent. Hopefully can start playing well at home soon enough (i.e. tomorrow week)

I just bet the way i want.Lads use to give me "their" betting systems which were always useless, so for the most part i just do whatever comes into the head when im in the bookies(no major plan or system) Happy days for once.:D

[Fivesilver]

Handling the injuries to key personnel as fringe players grow into the job. Still have a pressing need for at least two good signings IMHO, but I'll take top of the table at this stage.

[sheao]

Given the poor weather it was'nt a bad game in Turners Cross. We looked good with that in mind going forward. Vinny , Daryl, Purcell and Morrissey all had decent games. Our defending for the Dundalk goals was poor to be honest an despite the weather, the defence and the keeper probably should have done better.


Premier division table does'nt look all that bad from City's perspective.

[gufcfan]

Waterford line out in all green.

That's atrociously bad, even by Salthill standards...

[NeverFeltBetter]

Yeah, Terryland is being wasted with those numbers.

[SkStu]

We have a better defensive record than Shams... :)

[Dodge]

We have a better defensive record than Shams... :)
At a guess I'd say your entire squad and management costs less than the Rovers back 4 last night costs

[Partizan]

That's atrociously bad, even by Salthill standards...

You often wonder how clubs like Salthill and Mervue soldier on with crowds like that. What is the point?

[poster]

Keep on hoofing :d

Its a comment on the league that clubs with so few supporters can survive. As long as they're paying their way, best of luck to them

[Bray-Z]

Jayo's finish last night was class.

[gufcfan]

Not even close. All sorts of stories going around. The FAI helped engineer this situation, so I can see them doing anything they can to stop it from collapsing during the season.

I have very little faith in the FAI, but I can't see them allowing this situation continue.

Last night.

[wonder88]

61 people at a League of Ireland game is sad and it is difficult to see how Salthill can improve unless the FAI give them a grant to pay for better players and market their matches in order to attract more people. Both have to be done. Their is no point on spending money on promotion if the soccer on display is rubbish, and having been to one of their games this year their players are of a very poor ability who are unable to produce any decent football. Because Salthill like Mervue are a members club is it not possible for a millionaire owner to bankroll them so it is over to the FAI.
ps I was more enjoyable to watch this type of soccer in a setting like Drom than in Terryland.

[GuisaSaigon]

The FAI have given Salthill enough money already. Posters are up for Salthill games around town, nobody cares. Hundreds of Galway soccer fans are staying away from the joke of franchise. Galway United U19's were getting better crowds than Salthill. Terryland will be a sell-out in August for a Galway United / West United V Aston Villa Legends game. Until GUST are involved in a truly representative Galway team nobody will go to Terryland. Been watching LOI in Terryland since 1986, I live in Salthill I will never pay to watch Salthill play in the LOI and neither will most LOI fans in Galway.

No to Franchise Football, people slated Sporting Fingal and now you're proposing that the FAI help Devon out to save their LOI team. Nobody follows them, nobody cares, simple as. They are never going to be an LOI team that truly represents Galway, regardless of them stealing part of our name, our colours and stadium

[Lim till i die]

People are acting like this is the first time there was ever a sub 100 crowd at a League Of Ireland game!

It's pitifully regular!

SD Galway is a kind of stop gap for the FAI while they get Galway in order, I'm sure it's not going as well as they thought but I'm equally sure they're not overly pushed about how well it goes.

They'll sort out somethin for themselves in the near future (with a few gust boys I'm sure.) it's in everyones interests.

[Lim till i die]

stealing part of our name, our colours and stadium

They didn't do any of these things tbf. (even if the name and colours are a bit cringe)
