QuoteThat's a tricky one considering the Mon U players are no machines themselves. I won't be going near the game myself, good luck.
Anyone read the betfair forum last night? Shels were layed @ 1.18 for 20k apparently, sounds fishy to me alright.
Mons -1 tonight is evens with PP. What do people think? 2 games in 4 days is a lot for an out-of-season team like Cherry Orchard.

Who Cares?!
Not the first time Shels have lost in fishy circumstances at prices like that. (Wexford a couple of years ago springs to mind). Hopefully its just a shrewd punter.Originally Posted by Raheny Red
Can't touch any of the games tonight.
Oh and for the record if Limerick could finish they'd have beaten Pats handily.

How was that bet matched?
Rear to see so much money on a LOI game on betfair.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
The very low odds (1,18) on shels may also have been because they were the home team whereas Crumlin were at "home" in the first game. Eastern European punters very often dont know about situations like this in Irish football.
As for the 20k, its only a 4k liability. I know an Asian guy who regularly places bets of several thousand euro on irish footy. If it really was a fix, there would have been a severe market move before kick off.
Mondays are always a quite day for soccer, so whatever games are on will have more money matched than if the same game was a weekend. I've seen over a million matched on greek second divisoin games on Mondays
Pity I wasn't in on this.
You're assuming it was a high level fix. The Wexford game I mentioned above, actually had Shels shorten coming up to kick off
