or you could say if you lose to cork and draw one and cork win one from there cork just have to match you and they win the league. I think....open to correction if i've got something wrong along the lines somewhere

For it to be value, there has to be some realistic chance of winning.
Even Stuey Byrne hasn't tipped Rovers yet
Time to extend the league season! I dont see any reason why not!!
Realistic no ...50 to 1 still value
I think that's usually the point where it changes from a football bet to a novelty bet.
If cork somehow manage to mess up winning the league this year it'll be the funniest LoI moment since Dan Murray's pay for our bus telethon on red fm.
Dundalk, with their fixture pile up, have sent the league title down to leeside all wrapped up in a nice package. John Caulfield is currently running with the scissors to open it.
Seriously though cork fans if you fail this time - for the love of John o Flynn allow a tiny little bit of common sense to sink in and put that man in a rocket and launch him at the centre of the Sun.
Do you know the bin in the bookies for the free Friday draw?............
Your optimism is refreshing
Even less realistic now but then without optimism Rovers wouldn't be around and neither would Dundalk !
Are Dundalk going to play the Sunday after the Europa League games do we think / know / any announcements?
We'll send him up to you instead & you can have Tina back as well
Fixture scheduling hasn't been good enough this year. Teams with massive gaps between home games then a load piled in together, fixtures moved at short notice, massive pile ups for Cork and especially Dundalk and all a bit chaotic- and all this in a year when the weather hasn't given any bother!
Clubs in Europe should not automatically get their league matches postponed- either pull them forward or play them on the weekend they're due. If these clubs want away fixture rescheduled they should have to compensate the home clubs.

Its not that complicated to sort out the fixtures for the teams that play in Europe. I would suggest either moving the 2-week summer break from June to July (even extend it to 3 weeks maybe?) or have the teams that are playing in Europe play each other. We know right now that 3 teams will play in Q1 in EL next year, you think those in charge of the league know this too.
That's an excellent idea....
That's an excellent idea....we could start the season a wk later to even up the split if needed.
Maybe schedule top 4 to play each other home and away either side of the break to gI've more room and minimise European disruption for teams not involved in europe.
The root cause of this is the tight schedule that the league has to try to fit the games in. Trying to condense 3 domestic competitions into a 40 week period.
If any team started making 3 rounds in Europe there was always going to be issues if the insistence is that league games must finish by 28th october.
Wexford fans may be ****ed off at dundalk over their bohs games being rescheduled but the truth is that dundalk need games to play and are running out of time in which to get this completed.
This issue wouldn't of happen if cork didn't decide to cancel the dundalk game at the last minute by losing 2 players out of a squad of 25 to international duty.
That's not Wexford's problem, it's Dundalk's. Dundalk could, along with the other teams in Europe, have played some games well in advance. Plenty of spare Mondays in March and April. Alternatively, Dundalk could play three games in some weeks. Not ideal, but they'll deal with it. Instead, Wexford get shafted. Disgraceful stuff from the FAI.
It wasn't last minute, it was announced as soon as the U21 squad came out. Cork are perfectly entitled to call the Dundalk and Harps games off. Cork don't need to take any criticism over that.
Jesus, this argument between you lads and Cork is getting very tired. You've both been very well-treated by the league and other clubs in accommodating your need to have games moved. As we were in 2011. The sniping between each other was funny to start but it's just a bit tiresome now.
