What's wrong with Rogers? Sava wasn't great for some of the goals on Friday night
Dundalk also lost 5-1 at home to Shelbourne in the first or second game of 1990/91 and won that league also.
I think we might have a slow start this season, but only due to 3 key players being out in Rogers, Shields and McMillan. I'm going for a 2-1 win on Friday night.

Rogers, Shields & McMillan all picked up pre season injuries, not even sure the latter two were involved in any of it, but all 3 expected to miss at least the first 3 weeks or so. Sava did well v Cork at home last Oct but he was poor away to them last Fri, needs to do a lot better from Friday.

Bookies put odds where the money will go. They don't reflect what is actually most likely to happen.
I may end up looking foolish, its hard to know how good teams are at the start of the season but I think 4/1 for Rovers are extremely generous. I look forward to wiping the egg of my face Friday night when Dundalk spank them.
Its interesting to note that in the Predictions league here on foot (Plug for the Predictions League, join it, its fun), so far there have been 4 Predictions for Dundalk to win, 5 for draws and 7 for Rovers. Perhaps skewed by Rovers fans voting more than Dundalk but its certainly not as one sided as the bookies suggest.
Lets remember my original suggestion was that I would have Rovers as marginal favourites.
I've already answered that. Dundalk were terrible last week and I think its going to take some time for them to get up to speed. Whether thats because of injuries, new signings, where they are in pre season etc I don't know. But they have a long way to go to be anywhere near the team they were in the past. I'm sure they will get there, just not immediately.
Were you at the game? We battered you in the second half.
No need to take it so personally, its just an opinion.
There have been more than a few cráp televised opening games of the season, this one should be good, pity it's not on rte.
Will Rovers' players will be doing a guard of honour as the league champions run onto the pitch? or did that happen at the end of last season?
This could be interesting.
