    First Division Odds

    Okay, I'm sure there's a few First Divison fans wanting to know their odds, and since I can't find a link, just get your opinions out here;
    Now, with licensing it's gonna be tricky, but lets take for granted the teams will be:

    Athlone
    Bray
    Derry
    Finn Harps
    Longford
    Limerick
    Mervue

    Monaghan
    Salthill
    Shelbourne
    Waterford
    Wexford
    Get into them! ( They're easyyyy! )

    Waterford
    Wexford
    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.

    Wouldn't have us in with that much of a chance to be honest. If the season starts the way last season ended (under the same set-up), we'll be lucky to make the playoffs. I'd have Waterford up there definitely.

    Shels and Waterford would have to be contenders based on last year. If a Derry team ends up there, they'd be my favourites. Bray look like being like us at the start of last year with lots of players leaving, they mightn't have the same quality of young players coming through though so I wouldn't see them winning it.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    Waterford seem to be strengthening their squad and they were very competitive last year. It'll be interesting to see how Limerick fare. Alll immaterial really until the licensing process is completed.

    Whatever about Limerick this year, Wexford are financially gutted and I can't even see them finishing midtable.

    Surely that doesn't affect an amateur side that much? Have they lost many players?

    Connor Sinnott and Peter White, two of their best, if not their two best.

    Very unlikely. Word is that he will stay with Wexford.

    No supposedly he is not on his way anymore. According to a few Wexford fans they are losing a few players though so this might hit them a bit. They'll still do alright though.

    If Lims were to sign a player along the lines of Sheehans ability up front (ala what O'Flynn done at the tail end of the season) then by the looks of it they could be in line for a play-off spot.

    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....

    I'd like to think we'll be one of the better teams in the division this season. In saying that Shels, Waterford, Monaghan will be handy sides and who knows what kind of teams Derry and Bray will have, they will be fairly good too i would presume. Lots of teams will be taking points off each other in this division this year so it might come down to how the top teams get on against the teams that will struggle this year. Scully seems to want to give winning the league a right go this year which is a good attitude to have. Play offs would be brilliant.

    I'd say 3 to 1 on for there being a First Division this year.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    It's got to include Cork City. I can't see any way they'll get a premier licence after what they've been up to.

    To be honest, even giving them a D1 license would seem wrong, and an insult to the clubs in there that at least try to do things properly. Most of the licensing requirements aren't hugely different between the divisions so they shouldn't default to a D1 license merely because they fail the premier one.
