**KUFCMan** · 13/01/2011, 6:05 PM

At last odds on this Division from Boylesports

9-4 Waterford
5-2 Limerick
7-2 Shels
7-2 Cork
11 Mons
12 Drogs
25 Longfrord
33 Athlone
100 Mervue
100 Salthillt

1-4 odds 1,2 or 3

Im thinking maybe Shels,especially with Matthews there at the start

**Mr A** · 13/01/2011, 6:12 PM

Jeepers. I know we weren't great last season but to completely rule out the possibility of us winning is a bit harsh.

Fair perhaps.

But harsh.

**Dillonman** · 13/01/2011, 6:17 PM

Cork or Shels would seem a decent bet.

**Jofspring** · 13/01/2011, 6:19 PM

Ya Shels or Cork look like they could be good bets. No Finn Harps and we are still called Limerick 37. Isn't it great that they know nothing about LOI.

**cornflakes** · 13/01/2011, 6:47 PM

No wexford either

**nigel-harps1954** · 13/01/2011, 7:02 PM

16-1 Harps? I'll take that

**athloneman** · 13/01/2011, 7:54 PM

im sorry but athlone shorter odds than wexford??? jesus these bookies really have no clue about the league, as of this moment athlone have no manager,no players,no plan and absolutely no hope!!

shels looks the bet to me or at least a good each way shout!!

**Lim till i die** · 13/01/2011, 8:05 PM

Limerick at 11-4 is an absolute joke.

We've done nothing in the off season to suggest we'll be challenging Shels, Waterford or FORAS.

Or Monaghan for that matter. (altho if Gartland leaves they're more or less our level.)

I thought we'd be ten or twelve to one and I was going to have a cheeky each way bet. I shant be touching those odds with a barge pole.

Shels at 7-10 to finish top three is more or less buying money for next christmas if any league of ireland fan has a spare grand they don't want to give to drogheda, bohs or galway.

**Longfordian** · 13/01/2011, 8:33 PM

Yeah Shels would be my tip too. I'd like to say we'd be a good each way bet at 25-1 but whilst I think we'll do better than last year I think we'll be about 5th-6th.

**legendz** · 13/01/2011, 9:35 PM

I agree with most of the odds except for Limerick. Waterford or Shel's will probably win the Division with Cork and Limerick being the main challengers.

**CSFShels** · 13/01/2011, 10:33 PM

I am enjoying people thinking we are good for once.

Highly doubt that.

Cork Shels and Waterford to fight it out for the league then a big gap to us and maybe Mons depending on who they sign.

**legendz** · 13/01/2011, 10:58 PM

If Limerick are in and around 4th most of the season, they won't be too far of 3rd place and play-offs depending on what is happening with the league.

**osarusan** · 13/01/2011, 11:04 PM

No way we're second favourites. Last season, we took a total of 10 points from a possible 36 in 12 games against the teams that finished ahead of us. If you take Shelbourne out of that equation (I shouldn't, but they did get ahead of us just for the last few games), we took 4 points from a possible 27 against Derry, Waterford and Monaghan.

I'm not sure we've done anything to make me more confident of us get ahead of Waterford, Monaghan or Shels, and Cork may well pass us out.

**Longfordian** · 13/01/2011, 11:54 PM

I'm curious to see how Monaghan will be. They've lost a few experienced players. I'm sure they'll be up near the top but whether they'll be quite as strong as last year remains to be seen, they've been quiet enough signings wise as far as I can see.

**gufcfan** · 14/01/2011, 2:47 AM

No odds for Bohs?

I dont think theyre will be much between us and yourselves, unless we find a few decent players to add. Ye still have a decent team, and a consistent goalscorer which will make a big difference when he has a full season.

I think Shels and Waterford will be first and second and us and yourselves fighting for the play off spot. That said I have absolutely noi dea how good Monaghan will be, Im only basing this on the fact that a lot seem to be leaving them.

Just cos we have kept our signings quiet doesn't mean that we haven't made some significant ones. We have replaced what we have lost with, in my opinion, better, premier level, experienced players. Only worry I have is if Garto is gonna stick around as rumour has it he may be America bound.
