Derry and Rovers look like good value. Prob put them into a double.

Bohs playing a weakened team.

**sligoman** · 03/05/2009, 10:28 PM

Anyone know of other teams who will not be taking it serious?

**DmanDmythDledge** · 03/05/2009, 10:30 PM

I still think Bohs will win. Players like Matt Gregg, Conor Powell, Anto Murphy, Glen Cronin, Neale Fenn will be playing. That's the bones of a pretty good Premier Division team.

We'll be playing a weakened team sligoman. Expect the same one that played against Tullamore. If Athlone put out their strongest team they could get something. I'd stay from this game though.

Fingal at 2.38 might be worthwhile.

**Dodge** · 04/05/2009, 10:36 AM

There's noway we should be favourites to beat rivers. I hear our team is fairly experimental 9and consideing how rubbish the first team has been playing... )

The odds on Pats have actually shortened, Dodge.

I can get Rovers at close to 2/1 now.

How experimental is the team and any idea of Rovers team?

**Raheny Red** · 04/05/2009, 10:49 AM

9 to 1 for a shels win tonight is pretty big. You can get this with boyles. Bohs are a good side in great form but the away side could sneak it. Bohs will be resting their big players while giving the fringe players a run out. Some of the fringe players are decent but the bohs manager has also said he will give some of the under 20s a run out also. Don't go too mad on this one but i believe it is value and i feel u wont see bigger on the exchanges.

**eL Bettor** · 04/05/2009, 10:56 AM

Shels have been cut to 6/1 with Boyles now Raheny

Any idea of how strong the Shelbourne team will be?

No idea of Rovers team. A few changes with pats, but we're down on squad numbers so I'd imagine it'll be 4/5 new players...

Keely will probably put out the same side that would have played Friday evening. We had out strongest side out against Dundalk in the previous round so that would suggest that the club would like to go a bit far in the competition.

**ifk101** · 04/05/2009, 1:02 PM

Thanks for the info Raheny Red. I'll have a small bet on Shels DNB and see how it goes.

**bennocelt** · 04/05/2009, 1:21 PM

I put a small bet on Shams V Pats, now i know they might putout a second team and all but st pats first team isnt great so i cant imagine how their second team would be anything worth backing? 17/10 with PP isnt that bad really.

Shels at 15/2 is worth a look - but i cant see too many goals in this game
Shels to win 16/1?

(edit - sorry to win 1-0)

This has been posted on extratime (http://www.extratime.ie/newsdesk/articles/1781/)

"Early team news from Terryland Park is that Derry CIty will be fielding a very inexperienced side. A back four with an average age of 18 will beon duty today. Liam Kearney does start while Aaron Nash partners Tam McManus up front. Full line-ups will be online shortly."

I'll wait for the Galway line-up but I think I'll try a DNB on Galway as well.

**Raheny Red** · 04/05/2009, 1:41 PM

Shels will probably be beaten tonight but this quote, �We won�t be putting out a full team, but we hope to put out a team capable of winning, that�s for certain. We�ll be using a few of Tony�s (O�Connor, Under 20 Manager) lads for the game.� and the 9/1 on offer couldn't be ignored.

**Raheny Red** · 04/05/2009, 1:47 PM

Looks like Derry should be opposed today (kicking off at 3)

2.20pm......Early team news from Terryland Park is that Derry CIty will be fielding a very inexperienced side. A back four with an average age of 18 will beon duty today. Liam Kearney does start while Aaron Nash partners Tam McManus up front. Full line-ups will be online shortly.

**DmanDmythDledge** · 04/05/2009, 1:51 PM

Gone for Bohs, Derry and Rovers treble. Money in my online account tied up on snooker so had to go out to bookies before I read team news.

http://www.extratime.ie/fixtures/detail/11703/1/

I think Galway will win this now.

**Rovers fan** · 04/05/2009, 1:54 PM

Who are ya on in the snooker Dman?

**Raheny Red** · 04/05/2009, 1:57 PM

Just lumped on Galway.

Galway have named a strong line-up in comparison to Derry's with only three changes from Friday night.

Early team news from Terryland Park is that Derry City will be fielding a very inexperienced side. A back four with an average age of 18 will be on duty today. Liam Kearney does start while Aaron Nash partners Tam McManus up front. Full line-ups will be online shortly.
