I'd like to finish off with FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well if there was any evidence of fixing involving Galway, the FAI and other players/clubs then Im sure the FAI would have been suspended pending an investigation. Getting evidence is very difficult. Although I wouldn't hold my breath if UEFA are involved (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...3105656AAigxRG )Quote:

Im sure Galway are not fixing any matches. Nick Leeson is a very honest man with no track record of any crookery whatsoever.
Don't forget the petrol ;)Quote:

I have made a lot of money on football in the past 6 weeks, mainly on the Eircom league but also on games versus Spurs in the Prem.
I think they are getting a roasting on soccer at the moment.
It might be the fact that they are loosing money for a change they don't want to bet.
The only rumours I've heard have been about the Pats-Cobh game, not the one against Galway.
Most people in Galway have been cleaning up on -O'Shea to score anytime and United to win- usually at 12/1. I know I have been doing fairly well lately:D All this talk of a fix is hilarious lads keep it up!:o
I had Ramblers to beat Pat's, 8/1 odds were given, Pats team was depleated and Ramblers were second in the league only to Bohs on the last 5 games played. That's not a fix it's a bargain.Quote:

IMO it is the bookies not knowing enough about the EL that's all, not match fixing!
Long may it continue..............
BTW Bolton 11/4 to beat Spurs at the weekend, I got Udinese -1 goal for the same price to beat them last night.:D
You are so full of ****e, you must be a wind up.Quote:

That's got to do with their match prices. We were about 5/2 to beat Cork but only 11/10 to beat Bray so there's obviously going to be a big change in the price. Glad you're making money on it anyway!Quote:

Also people backing in the shops can't see the conditions that it's settled on the bottom 3 teams. If you want a bet just request a price and you'll be quoted something. Also ask for both sides (to stay up and to go down) and you'll be given a fair price.
Saved yourself a few bob there so :DQuote:

Galway - Harps in Terryland could be a nervy game for both sides. If Harps win they could possibly be guaranteed their top flight status for next season, a draw and its all down to the last game of the season.
Cobh - Bohs - If Cobh don't win this then they will look as good as gone. A win and they will have a tough task of trying to beat Derry in the Brandywell. Derry are still pushing for 2nd place so I can't see them letting up there.
Obviously I want Harps to win but, a draw would not be the worst result in the world.
Will Cobh beat Bohs?
How will the game go in Terryland?
Easily the biggest weekend of the season for all 3 teams.
And if United win, Cobh aree as good as gone due to inferior goal difference, and Harps have to win final game against Shams and hope United don't beat a relegated UCDQuote:

It's not really a 'battle' as such anymore.It's UTD's to lose.UCD have a great chance to upset the apple cart though and i don't expect an easy game next week.
However with the away support likely to outnumber the home support and the spirit in the current UTD squad,we should win.
Think tonight's result all but ends Cobh's challenge aswell.
So apart from ucd already relegated what are the final day permutations ?
Galway beat us, they survive.
Cobh beat Bohs and better Galway's result against us in Derry, they survive.
Cobh don't beat Bohs, Harps beat someone and Galway don't beat us, Harps survive.
And ultimately, Bohs, UCD and Drogheda get relegated.
Harps don't deserve to stay up, not that current batch of players. Absolute joke.
300 fans travel 4 hours to watch over paid muckers not give a sh!te, bye bye Hegarty hope the door gives ya a good slap on the way out, and take your mucker mates with ya.
Fair played to Galway, good atmosphere tonight.
Agree with you there Sam. very poor display from harps considering the support that travelled to terryland to help them on. Even half the squad didnt bother acknowledging ye going off after the final whistle ?
As Conor said above, its GUFC's to lose now. Will be expecting a big away support at belfield next weekend to help the team over the line. Hope to God now we can convince Jeff to stay another season ! One of the best managers ever to come to Galway.
Harps tactics were all wrong, came looking for a draw, some low life stuff off the ball too. Deserved everything they got.
Actually wanted Harps to stay up, but rub it up ye ya bitter ****** with a post like that.Quote:

You'll see what I mean during the close season.Quote:

Well done Galway, a nice stadium and a good crowd. Apart from the mess earlier the season the club is progressing well so fair play to Galway and the FAI who have put in a lot of work over the years.
The refereeing was again unusual but I think Galway would have won anyway. Can't complain too much about the match officials.
Now lets get the map out to see where Wexford is again :(
Cobh are gone. lost 2-0 to Bohs tonight, between us and Harps now.
ah but ya see its a fix, next week well beat derry 5-0, and UCD will beat galway 6-0 and harps will loose, and we stay up, savage odds on us to survive nowQuote:

the same can be said about Derry, they have benifited fromm the other clubs misfortunes, the only other difference from last year is the they eventually got a keeper or two, Farren started to score again and McGinn came in to replace Paddy and was more reliable coz he wasnt always injured.
Balls.Quote:
