Do we need to include "First poster to get offended at where others predict their team will finish" in future years?Originally Posted by ontheotherhand
In line with Foot.ie tradition it should be Worst predictions thread ever!
Galway into 4/1 from 11/1 to finish last with Powers after one game, I backed at 9/1 and when I tried again at 11s they wouldn't lay me. Free bet on the market for Placid and I at 5/1. Drogs now favs in the market.
What are the tradition adjusted odds?
Maybe it is cheating to do this a week in, but I didn't have time to do it before:
1. Rovers
2. Dundalk
3. St. Pats
4. Derry
5. Waterford
6. Shels
7. Sligo
8. Drogheda
9. Galway
10. Bohs
First sacked: Devine (seem knifes are already out)
Top scorer: Hoban
Honestly see so little between 2nd and 6th, and are nearly interchangeable. I have zero trust in Derry, unless Hoban can change the whole attitude up there. I am not sure either of St. Pats - a lot of young talent left, and havent seen anything special from Daly. Although that defense looks pretty mean.
I think there is potential for a season to go horribly / spectacularly wrong for one or two clubs. There are no easy games at all in the league, so any problems that emerge, you could imagine it could easily tumble into a cl*sterf*ck. This seems like a very unforgiven league. Just no easy points or stretches anywhere. I picked Bohs and Galway as most obvious candidates (Galway because it seems like a very good first division squad, not a premier) , but really it could happen to anyone. In that regard, I wouldnt be too surprised if Rovers did not win the league. It just seems too easy to drop points consistently and the season getting away from a team.
Dundalk in 2nd place mainly because I like them. Also, a big squad to be able to handle the league. Just worried about left-back, and scoring goals... and defending in general... and loan players leaving huge gaps in the squad ... Actually, think we might win the league now...
Has fentanyl reached dundalk?
Dont be so glib!
Bottom place betting
Drogs 13/5
Dundalk 11/4
Waterford, Galway and us 5/1
Shamrock eased a little to win it 10/11
Derry 13/5
Shels 11/2 and Pats out to 11s
source PP.
I have a weird feelin that Dundalk will go down, think the bubble has burst with them, Hey even Drogs are playin much better! Hoban is a massive loss altogether
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Not that weird if you saw them last night
The 2 Louth teams are more or less joint favs for last 3.6 Drogs and 3.75 Dundalk.
Bookies get it right and my faith in tradition is decimated!
Jez this is turning out well
I've got Devine getting the bullet within the first 10 games spot on but early signs John Russell so far letting me down he is putting up a good fight over my prediction for him to be next manager sacked
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
With I think more half the season over, only Derry in the right spot.
Predicted Actual 1 Shams 1.07 Shels 3 2 Derry 2.43 Derry = 3 Pats 2.60 Shams -2 4 Shels 4.17 Waterford 5 5 Bohs 5.90 Galway 3 6 Dundalk 6.20 Rovers 4 7 Drogs 7.20 Bohs -2 8 Galway 7.60 Pats -5 9 Waterford 8.80 Dundalk -3 10 Rovers 9.03 Drogs -3
