    I remember there was talk about the pitch there after the Shams game, hopefully it comes through the snow ok. I'm based in Dublin these days myself - was wondering about the snow possible impact looking out at it earlier. I was thinking either 1-1 or 0-1 to Sligo .. having said that our excuse is at the ready :) will be surprised if this has more than 2 goals in it.

    ***League of Ireland Bet 28/3/13***

    LoI fixtures are spread over 3 days this week, with Dundalk hosting Drogheda Utd on Thursday at 7.45 in the Louth Derby.

    Dundalk missing just one first teamer, with Drogheda near full strenght with two lesser players out injured.

    Dundalk have scored 7 goals in their 5 matches in all competitions this season, with just their first game of the season seeing them fail to score.

    Drogheda have scored 16 goals in their 8 matches in all competitions this season, with only one game seeing them fail to score.

    BTTS have come in, in the last 3 Dundalk games in the League.

    BTTS have come in, in the last 3 Drogs games in the League and 6 out of 8 in all competitions.

    All the stats say BTTS, but both sides have quality keepers Cherrie (Dundalk) and Sava (Drogheda). Dundalk have had 5 different goal scorers in their last 4 games while Drogheda have the same stat, so goals can come from everywhere. The quality of the keepers make this bet a MEDIUM bet rather than a LARGE.

    Also to note Dundalk have the advantage of the only LoI team that plays on an artificial pitch.

    BTTS @ 10/11 (Coral) MEDIUM STAKE.

    Doubt I'll get a LoI write up done, just in the door and in work tomorrow.

    Pointers are though:

    Finn Harps DNB, lump!
    Athlone win, good bet!
    Bray -v- UCD have never played out a scoreless draw in 31 meetings between the two in all competitions!

    Bray vs UCD over 2.5
    Athlone win
    Derry win to nil
    Dordrecht vs Top Oss BTTS

    4-fold is around 8/1 ... Also did a single on Derry to win to nil @7/5. Really fancy them to win to nil.

    Also did a double of Nothampton and Shamrock Rovers @2/1


    Thats it for the night. Hoping for more of this LOI success I've been having lately!

    as much as it hurts me i can't see sligo not winning the league this year, i know its very early days but there isn't another team that can match them for consistency, so i'm considering putting a bit on sligo at evens, someone please talk me out of it :)

    I'm biased in my view but as you say consistency is there. Can't help with talking you out of it, I'm thinking now is the time to back Sligo for the league too at least for a small stake. Squad depth will only improve when North and N'do come back. D'jalli is yet to come to full fitness as far as i know too. In the past two games Raf has pocketed first goals in the space of first 3 mins most likely with this in mind. He was lit up last night. Nice surprise to see my under 2.5 goals bet go bust. The Edling wincast is becoming the league of Ireland equivalent of the Ballotelli wincast.

    Shams have squad depth and should improve on current results. As for Derry and Dundalk I'm not up on their squad depth but two good starts. People piping Cork and Limerick to be a good shot this year. Limerick were very unlucky to come away from the showgrounds with nothing.

    I'll most likely throw a small bit down for now and hold off a few weeks to put more down.

    Didn't get to post my bets on here yesterday, bookies know nothing about non-League sides, Phoenix were priced at 11/8, unreal! In the middle of my write up for tomorrow, will post in due course.

    Derry City –v- Bray Wanderers- 3pm

    Bray are without experienced goalkeeper and their goalkeeping coach Darren Quigley who is suspended for this match with Sean Holmes (19 year old) stepping in. This is a HUGE loss for Bray.

    Derry could be near full strength, Patterson is doubtful but Derry should have enough to replace him.

    Derry are unbeaten this season, while notching up 12 goals in their first 4 games. While Bray have just one win against their name which was against 10 man Shelbourne (a side Derry beat 4-0 on Friday).

    Bray have recorded just one win at the Brandywell in 28 meetings between the sides in all competitions, that win was in 2002.

    Derry are unbeaten in last eleven League meetings between the sides.

    Derry -1 Asian @ Evens (Bet365) LARGE STAKE.

    UCD –v- Sligo Rovers – 7.45pm

    Bottom –v- Top

    Only one new injured concern for Sligo with defender Conneely out, while UCD could be missing up to 3 defenders (2 being first teamers) from their small squad.

    Sligo are 5 wins out of 5 in the League so far, and show no sign of stopping that winning streak. Between last season and so far this season Sligo have lost just once in that time (that being against Shamrock Rovers when Sligo had the League already won), they’re unreal at home!

    Not much else to add apart from, Sligo are quality, and that’s without Danny North, they’re only going to get better.

    Sligo -1 European Handicap @ 6/5 (Stan James) LARGE STAKE
    Sligo -2 Asian @ 2/1 (Bet365) MEDIUM STAKE

    Worth keeping an eye on Drogheda –v- Cork at 3pm inplay, Cork played in Dublin on Friday and probably didn’t get home till 2am and now have to travel to Drogheda Monday morning, can’t see recovery being great for them with all the travelling.

    Bit of wrong info on Derry and them being unbeaten, they lost to Sligo first game of the season. Thought it was Setanta Cup when I was looking.

    Weekend of 5th/6th April:

    * All prices are with Powers so you may get better elsewhere

    Sligo Rovers -1 V Shelbourne (5/6)

    Sligo Rovers -1 at home to Shelbourne is 5/6 is far too big IMO.

    Sligo are flying at the top of the league with 6 wins from 6, averaging 2.5 goals a game and have only conceded 2 goals in 6 games.

    Shelbourne meanwhile lie second from bottom having scored only 1 goal in 5 games, conceding 9.

    Sligo -1 handicap is my bet. A small nibble on -2 at 23/10 may tempt some too.

    Waterford V Athlone (Athlone and Draw 4/6)

    Waterford have been in awful form to start the campaign after kicking off as one of the favourites for promotion. They've lost 3 on the spin including a derby loss to a poor Wexford side last weekend. Level on points with bottom of the table Salthill, they're probably one bad result away from the manager being sacked.

    Athlone meanwhile have begun the season with 3 draws and a win in the league. They're not a team that will win a whole lot of games but they won't lose a lot either and Collins has them tough to beat in that division. Ryan Coombes on loan from St Pats has scored 3 in 3 and is in great form.

    I think if Athlone are able to keep this tight for 20-30 minutes (which their results thus far has indicated they can do) then the Waterford crowd will turn and get on the backs of the manager and team.

    I'll take Athlone and the draw at 4/6.

    Finn Harps (7/10) V Wexford Youths:

    Finn Harps have started the season unbeaten with 2 home wins and 2 away draws from 4 games. They've also scored 5 and conceded 1 in those 2 home wins.

    Youths have had two wins on the bounce but in my opinion they are quite misleading as both have come against struggling teams (Waterford and Salthill) while they've been battered against Cobh and beaten comfortably by Athlone.

    It's a very long trip to Donegal and hard to be in 100% condition to play a game after being stuck on transport for that long.

    I like Harps at 7/10.

    Have gone for Cobh, Harps, Waterford and Derry games all to have over 2.5 goals in them.

    Also gonna take Harps-1 @ 21/10.

    As for the other games I'm not quite sure who to do.

    Harps have McCarron out and McGowan is a doubt. Apparently McHugh as well but not 100% on that. Still think we have enough experience and squad depth to get a result against Wexford and the lads are very determined this year.

    Gavin "shels"

    Cork City -v- UCD - 7.45pm

    No major injury concerns from either side that are new, Cork have 2 doubts but their squad is strong enough to cope.

    Cork City haven't started great so far this season but at home against UCD it should be a walkover! UCD's only point this season was 2-2 draw against a 10 men Bray Wanderers. An average of 3 goals conceded a match so far this season (18 goals in 6 matches) for UCD.

    UCD have not won at Turner’s Cross since January 2003

    UCD have kept one clean sheet in their last ten games against Cork City and have conceded 18 times. Cork have kept four clean sheets in the same period conceding nine.

    Cork City - 1 Asian @ 3/5 (Bet365) LARGE STAKE
    Cork City -1 Normal @ 11/10 (General) MEDIUM STAKE

    Finn Harps -v- Wexford Youths - 8pm

    2 wins at home and 2 draws away so far this season for Finn Harps. Minus Wexfords win last week against a poor Waterford Utd they've had a horrible start so far this season.

    This match will be similar to Finn Harps -v- Cobh in the fact that Wexford have a 10 hour round trip, with possibly some players making their own way to the match due to work and college (trying to get info on this as we speak).

    Wexford are full strength while Finn Harps are missing 1 (McCarron who has 3 goals so far)possibly another both players are first teamers but McCarron has Kevin McHugh to bang in the goals up front in his place as he already has this season on 4 occasions.

    Finn Harps win @ 4/5 (Sporting Bet) LARGE STAKE
    Finn Harps -1 Asian @ 5/4 (Bet365) MEDIUM STAKE
    Finn Harps -2 Asian @ 17/4 (Bet365) SMALL STAKE

    Under 2.5 in Harps v Athlone would be a good game. Last few games off the top of my head have been 2-0, 1-1,1-0, 1-0. Don't know the price but will probably back this as well as Harps to win 1-0. Heart over head here though. :)
