bohs may be worth a few bob at 14/1
FHFC Forever in Our Shadows - PARTY POOPERS UR HAVING A LAUGH
DCFC AIRTRICITY FIRST DIVISION CHAMPIONS 2010
BACK WHERE WE BELONG!!!!
I think Drogs at 10/1 is a far better outside chance. Do the bookies know something about special about Sligo? While we at UCD have certainly not improved our squad greatly Bray are as good as last season having retained their best players and added Doyle, why are Sligo rated more likely to win the league?Originally Posted by dcfc_dee

They're bracketed together @ 66/1 in the updated odds.
I know it's totally irrelevant BUT...seeing as Sligo didn't beat us in four attempts last year (three 1-1 draws and a 3-1 win for us) and that there was 2 points seperating the sides at the end of the season, and we won promotion by doing what rarely is done in the playoffs, ie: lower league side winning out against the Premier team over 2 legs.
And taking into account that Sligo have let alot more players go then have come in (Keith Foy etc coming in) I really fail to see how we are 100/1 and Sligo are half that on 50/1I mean that's just plain crazy. It's also crazy that they are ahead of Bray and UCD, given that there is a huge "wait and see" factor to both promoted teams and a few others to boot.
Anyhoo, not outraged or anything, it's not like I was going to stick a ton on ourselves for the title or anything() But it just shows how little the bookies care about the lower half of the league. Mind you if I can get odds on us staying up that reflect odds on us winning the league, then I might dust off the money belt for that one...
P.S I'd stick a few quid on Giller's Dundalk for the 1st Division title. Really think they'll be in with a great shout this year.
Maynard,if you dont think we are value for money then dont back us.
Although @ 66-1 i think a cheeky €5 is on the cards.
Save the 5er and get yerself a pint.
Drogs at 10's is hard to look past.
I think Dundalk wouldnt be a bad shout myself. Derry again priced outside the favourites....just as i like it
Drogheda deserve to be 10/1 they finished 29 points behind cork city last season cant really see them challenging. i think it will be the same top 3 again this year. in the first division i would stay away from rovers. i had a bet on gufc at 10/1 a couple of weeks ago so i would say the value is gone on them. dont bet unless you have some very good reason to think that a teams odds are not representitive of their chances. as the man said earlier you will never see a poor bookie. all the advertising, staff and premises costs and they are still minting it.
29 points behind but have built on their side, unlike cork.
stay away from rovers for value or because we wont stroll the division?
Derry are by far the best value there. 11/2 for a team that went to the last day!
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Derry very good value at 11/2 but i might be having a look at drogs at that 10/1
Winners are workers,
Losers make excuses.
we have 15 full time players so we really should be finishing ahead of dublin city,bray etc. we got rid of a lot cr*p players and brought in real quality players from englandAnd taking into account that Sligo have let alot more players go then have come in (Keith Foy etc coming in) I really fail to see how we are 100/1 and Sligo are half that on 50/1
"Even if the sun ceases to rise, Even if the sea ceases to flow, Even if the wind stops to blow, The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning, glinting star in the sky."
well dont know if these "quality" players are any good yet really the eL mightnt suit them
from what i've seen of peers&turner they defo are&connor put a lot of effort into signing all of em&after last season i think we should all have 100% faith in him
"Even if the sun ceases to rise, Even if the sea ceases to flow, Even if the wind stops to blow, The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning, glinting star in the sky."
Both really. Rovers deserved to be beaten in a 2 legged play-off with the team that finished 2nd in div one last season. Their form was terrible in the second half of the season. Since then i can see no vast improvement in their squad. Every team in div one will be gunning to beat rovers. If you look at the last years relegated sides from the english league the most of them are not in contention for the title eg Nottingham Forest. its just an observation not an attack on rovers, i look forward to your visit to terryland this season.stay away from rovers for value or because we wont stroll the division?
no vast improvement? roddy out scully in. there is your vast improvement right there.
skull has gotten rid off all the rod squad mecenaries like mcdonough and brought in a young, hungry side who know the division. we lost the playoff because a: rod had them so unfit because he arranged training around his plastering and b: so many of the players he brought in were gutless mercenaries.
no chance of either with scully.
For me it will have to be £10 on Derry City.
bit of both. we sacked him for general scallywaggery and deservedly so. but at the time you sacked the man who had won you your first league in 23 (?) years and only your second in 50 odd. it looked bizarre from the outside
hindsight over roddy versus rabid need to insult bohs. a conundrum alright!
