Anyone like to give it a go? Given the doubts about Shels vis-a-vis players, it's very tough but I'll have a tough stab.
5-2 Derry City
3-1 Drogheda
4-1 Shelbourne
4-1 Cork
7-1 Bohs
25-1 Anyone else
Cheques etc to WardBet, 90 The Tramyard, Inchicore, D8
:cool:
What odds galway utd
Not very observant are you:rolleyes:
I'll give you 66-1 Trainee.
My money would be firmly on Shels winning it on goal difference from Derry on the last day of the season.
2007 might be a whole different ball game though.
Have to agree with you on that;)Quote:

Or so it would seem :)
do you want a shovel there JW :D
i'm also going for shels to win on goal diff from derry and will double it up with both managers departing before the new year :D
The shovel analogy is apt alright!
Will be interesting to see the firms' prices. Drogheda and Derry are my favs next year anyway.
Nice odds those. Put me down for 10,000 euro on Shels. I will even travel to Inchicore to pick up my winnings. :DQuote:

You can add cork to that list of top 3 contenders - you've priced them up wrong
perhaps deliberately to see if anyone spots the value? :p
I don't think Cork are wrong at 4-1. Very thin squad and will need a few additions, assuming O'Flynn doesn't exceed his 10pc quota of games or whatever it is next season.
If cork hadnt lost in Bray they basically would have gone into the last game level with Derry and Shels with a better GD (or so I'm led to believe -possibly ballocks!)
therefore incorrect and indeed wrong price IMO for a team that will receive a cheque from Mr UEFA- will have new investors
and will probably splash the cash as well
What was the score?Quote:

According to the Post today, Hills have betting on it. Predictably enough, I can't find it though on their website.
They were shortish Shels and Derry, but 6-1 Drogheda and 16-1 Bohs. In the First Division, they were 11-2 Harps.
and cork?
Drogs 6/1 is nice
they really will have the strongest squad
Stuey 'I'm Angry Tony' Byrne is a big addition to Drogs, plus they started off by putting the Finnish-ing touches to their squad with that goalkeeper
Likely more to come and a fit Fabio
6s definitely big
Cork were 3-1 or something like that
Now now, don't be fighting.Quote:

Can't believe I wasn't the first to pick up on this!
I thought Waterford looked big to win Division 1 next season.
What price were Waterford - 5/2 or something?

sssshhh
you'll blow thw whole secret of correct score betting on UCD games......
ps
cork one less with seven 0-0 results.....
shhhh
Yes. We cost you the league twice (and Cork twice, Drogheda once and Sligo three times), end of competition.Quote:

I still reckon Drogheda for all their shiny new additions have a major disadvantage, Paul Doolin, i can see him making a dogs danglies of the league no matter how big or talented his squad is!
I'll be backing Derry next year personally with Dundalk to win the first division unless Waterford make some shiny new signings of their own!!
Koh
Agree with DvB.
Also having 4 teams on 4/1 or less is disgraceful from any bookie. Even mde up ones
i'll take thatQuote:

Given the strength of the top four, it would take a huge effort for anyone else to win the league in one season having not challenged for a few years. Bohs at 16-1 with Hills remain a speculative punt because of the money influx.
Drogheda definitely look big at 6-1. My prices were rough enough but they're similar to Boyle's.
