League Cup tomorrow....Fingal 8/5 to beat Sligo on PP looks decent.
http://www.oddschecker.com/football/...and/league-cup
Fingal and Rovers look very good value- 5.98 double with PP.
Any information already on how serious UCD take the cup game this time? They won first two rounds despite not fielding their strongest team, but that might look differently against Galway :confused:
Full strength minus two or three.
Galway beat us 2-0 in pre-season I think; was our worst pre-season result.
Nobody has a clue yet.Quote:

Obviously you cant saying as you don't know if you're missing two or three:pQuote:

I mean there's no need to rest players on Monday for the next league game on Friday, is there?
Think there's one or two in exams who aren't being brought. There's a couple of injuries too, which will make it slightly less than full strength (John Reilly is ill, for example, and unlikely to travel).
We want to win the competition, but we want to win everything we enter, so that doesn't really help much. As important, however, is developing new players, and seeing as most of our squad this year is new, we'll be going with a strong team to give them experience against a Premier Division side.
Touche! In my defence, I was drinking at the time our assistant manager was listing off the team, so my memory isn't what it could otherwise be. ;)Quote:

Fair enough, hadn't thought of that. Thought you were just trying to be Mystig Meg as usual.;)Quote:

Put 1 point on that double.Quote:

In the previous round away to lowly junior side FC Carlow they had to win in extra time. Rovers could rest one or two decent players but they should still have enough for the home side. With a Setanta Cup spot on offer O’Neill will be gunning that his side win tomorrow evening. 11/8 is way to big for me to ignore, this is Premier Division -V- First Division. This is value and I don’t think the 11/8 will last too long either…….
Rovers @ 11/8 (bet365) 5pts.
i find tonites games difficult to call tbh
maybe 2.5 + goals in galway-ucd game at evens - pp
?
Galway seem to have strong team out. UCD have made a few changes, most notably up front. Neither Kilduff nor David McMillan are starting so we may struggle to score.
Looks like Sligo might pinch it in Fingal, not quite a full strength Fingal:

Ouch indeed.Quote:

I think you're really underrating Waterford Raheny.Quote:

It's very similar to what Stephen Henderson did at Cobh a few years ago (I think they lost their first 2 games of the season and then went about 25 unbeaten!). I agree with you that they've a very small squad but so do all of the top 4 teams in the 1st Division.
I called 3 of the 4 games right - Backed Sligo & Bohs and layed Rovers but unfortunately I lumped on United to beat UCD at 4/5 so I still lost! :(
We've 28, almost all of whom have been used getting us this far in the League Cup (so there's not a huge quality gap)Quote:
