Sure we're always under-rated (look at our own predictions at the start of last season!), it won't do us any harm.Quote:

Silly prices there, UCD won the league and are 200/1 ? Should be at least in the 20's same as us.
Bohs and Rovers will be up there again and the rest is too close to call with Derry being relegated and possibly Cork as well .
At 200/1 it could make someone a few quid before the season starts as that price will fall dramatically if UCD win their first 2 games.
but that was last year. waterford, limerick and monaghan gave us scares also last season. (well waterford knocked us out of the cup), we also beat a russian team, doesnt mean we are going to do that every week.Quote:

Shligo at 16's looks a good e/w.
I think you're underestimating how big of a loss Finn is going to be, there's nobody in our midfield or attack near his level.
You compare us to Fingal and say we should be similar price but I think the main difference between the two sides last season was that I think the way we played and our strengths suited playing against weaker teams more and we were always able to put them away while Fingal were always a bit inconsistent in that regard, whether it be due to how they played or simply a lack of motivation/over-confidence. Like us, they put out a few Premier teams in the cup competitions (also I don't think the win against Galway is anything to read into, they were seemingly on top before going down to 10 men). Also, they beat us on two occasions which can't be ignored. Add in that we're minus Finn while they've added him, plus they have strengthened even more once again and I can see why they would be a lot shorter than us.
I think our price and Drogs are a bit out and as usual the person setting the odds is showing Galway bias despite strong rumours that they will be amateur next season. :)
I never said we should be a similar price to Fingal.
We are 150/1 :D
So 50/1 to finish in the top 3. So if we borrowed €5M and used €4M for wages and €1M for the bet and put the €50M winnings into the club when Paddy Power pays out, we'd still be under the 65% rule and be up €45M:D
We could build our ground then......
C'mon - its almost worked before

when will there be 1st division odds?
from what I remember last season they came out a week or two before the season kicked offQuote:

I was thinking that you guys were a big price especially with clouds hanging over Cork and Galway and maybe Bohs participation in the Premier league this year.. But Celdrogs plan is a beauty... :DQuote:

FWIW, I don't think we have the side - let alone the squad - to come third. We've a couple of fairly weak spots. But I don't see us being that far removed from everyone else. I think it'll be Bohs, Rovers and Feckall, with a gap to fourth (assuming all transfers go through).
Dunno. Galway are 66/1 even with Sean Connor's tactic of playing with 9 men from time to time:DQuote:

Sligo I just dont know about.
Pats are skimpy enough but if there was slightly better around I maybe tempted to have a nibble at say 14's each way.
If Dundalk slipped out anymore I would also have a cut.
