We weren't favourites when the odds came out. We're strong favourites now. It's down to our fans putting money down rather than a true reflection I'd say.Originally Posted by oriel

Best of luck to Cork, Rovers and even Derry today. More pessimistic than other years for some reason. Reckon Cork will scrape through, Rovers could go either way and Derry will put up brave resistance but ultimately be beaten. Similar may happen Dundalk
Will not be down to fans putting money down decent liquidity in asia. Plenty of other people fancy Cork and with decent amounts of money too.
Cork are the new Athlone for those Asian lads, any dodgy last minute goals will be watched very carefully
I doubt any LOI club has the fanbase to influence the odds of a European fixture to any noticeable extent tbh.
Just consider how relatively small the crowds are for any club. Then factor in that only a (small?) percentage of those are likely to be active betters. And then drill down further via the fact that most of those betting would probably only wager small sums of the nature that wouldn't impact odds. Then consider that lots of other gamblers who aren't LOI fans - including overseas - will take an interest in European fixtures given their profile.

I wouldn't have thought that there would have been much money going on the game. Probably an incorrect assumption. I know our lads have been punting on us, but yeah, I'd assume small money.
Either way, the favourites tag does not sit well. I'd take a draw and run right now.

Cork doing fine so far and definitely have the beating of them.
Only a matter of time before Cork score, surely. They're exerting good pressure now and looking dominant. Levadia's keeper looks very dodgy with Cork challenging him a few times with shots and corners. No real threat from Levadia so far.
Levadia down to ten men and Cork have a free-kick in a great position here.
Away goal for Cork from the free-kick just before half-time. Great stuff.
Cork are battering them.
Dream start really. A goal and a red card in the first half. Just need to kick on and hopefully end the tie here
The default mentality of a City fan is "How do we **** it up from here!?"

Maguire the best player on the park by a country mile.
Cillian Sheridan misses a penalty for Jagellonia

Dream scenario so far with them being a man down. Would love to see us kick on and get another 1 or 2 if we can

Cork a goal up away from home against an opposition that's down to ten men.
What's the worst that could happen?
