First Division Odds

[bluewhitearmy]

Well, a lad called Shane Clarke has signed from junior circles and he will score goals in the division. I wouldn't rate him as highly as I would Gary Sheehan, but he will do a job nonetheless. Scully has a full pre-season this time, and has been given all the support and backing he has requested so the club hasn't been in better shape in the run up to a season in a very very long time. Over to to you Mr. Scully....

Have to disagree with that id rate him higher then Gary. Shane has the same style as O'Flynn and if he gets his head right could be just as good. Not saying your wrong just have a different opinion.

I fancy limerick and wexford youths to give it a good go this year>

Derry at 7/4
Shels 2/1
Bray 6/1
10/1 bar

If Cork are sent down, unlikely at this stage as the FAI need at least one big "country club" outside the Pale, then they'd be joint 2nd favourites with Shels.

Makin Derry favourites is very strange when we dont know for sure if they'll even be in our div. As it stands they dont have more than dozen players signed,mostly from there youth team and they'll be part time this season also.Not really contender material.

Whats the odds on first division sides that play by the book getting fooked over by the FAI and folding mid-season?

I would have thought it was strange thinking about Derry as likely contenders. Nothing in the signings so far suggests a good strong squad forming there and looking to Institute for your squad doesn't add weight to the case for them at all.

Where has Conor Sinnott gone to then? It'll be interesting to see the make up of the division in due course.

Doherty, McCallion, McLean, Deery, Farren? Yip you're right lad, nothin' to see here.

With us already after signing Chris Konopka, Liam Kearney, Gareth Cambridge and the possibility of signing Davin O Neill, Greg O Halloran and hopefully if the rumors are true the re-signing of Graham Cummins on top of the players from last year like John Kearney, Kevin Murray, Alan Carey, Paul McCarthy, Sheamus Long, David Grincell and Willie John Kiely (When on form) I think we'll be very strong title contenders.

Clubs in the First Division this year will find it a lot easier financally than last year.
With Sporting Fingal and UCD promoted and Derry, with possibly Cork entering the Division the attendances will increase massively.
The total of both Fingal and UCD together would struggle to hit the 100 mark.
Clubs will be very anxious to see if they get Derry at home twice or travel twice to Derry.

Ye also have one of the best managers in the league,I think Waterford will be there or very close behind. Depending of course on how much cheating is allowed by the bigger clubs!
