Knew that when posting the bet, was basically confirmed two weeks ago he was signing for Shams, Richie Ryan though signed a new contract with Sligo and Cook said he has no intentions of leaving.

On the Bray bet, Devlin has managed to sign up a good chunk of their 1st team squad.

Karl Sheppard top scorer next season

any odds on top scorers yet?

im disgusted he went to Rovers but he will bang them in there, best player in the league imo.

Awh Sheppard, Shels reject!:D

Only odds so far for the LoI is the Premier Division outright.

Ye Twigg and Sheppard up front will always be a nice combo for Shams, but they play sh*te football, very Dermot Keely"esque" like tactics from what I seen of Shams this season, hoof hoof hoof! Wouldn't say the best in the league, definitely top 10. He was always moving back to Dublin anyway, something to do with him getting a ban from driving afaik.

Kod-box · 10-01-2011 4:43am

Didnt hear about the driving ban lol

He's the best ive watched in a while, i thought he'd be back to England tbh.

SRFC90 · 10-01-2011 4:45am

Homesick, that's why he came back to Ireland.

Arguements with the staff at Everton i heard, from the horses mouth.

Gavin "shels" · 08-02-2011 2:41am

On top of my big Sligo bet and small ew Bray bet I should be doing a small double on most likely Shels/Shams double, going to hold out till full squads are announced.

Premier Division will be tight this season imo Shams, Sligo, Pats and Derry should all be up there or thereabouts come October.

Just a repost of my post back in Janaury.

Sligo Rovers to win the League @ 9/4 - 10pts
Returns 32.5pts

Bray Wanderers to win the League @ 150/1 - 1pt e/w
Returns 182pts
Each Way pays out on top 3.

Sligo Rovers are a class act of a team, having seen them basically dismantle Shams in the FAI Cup I think they have a real chance of winning the League this season. They probably won't lose any of their decent players and they'll probably bring in a few decent players, missed them at 8/1 on WilliamHill that rapidly went down to 9/2 after an hour.

Bray Wanderers, mental bet imo. If I remember rightly, if you only included Brays results from when Delvin took over till the end of the season, Bray were top. Delvins still in charge this season and I'm not aware of many players leaving them, missed them at 500/1 but I think 150 is worth an ew punt.

First Division odds ain't out yet, but it will be a toss up between Shels, Waterford and Limerick.

Bank 120pts

League up and running on Friday, have a few ideas of who I'll be backing, etc... just waiting to hear some team news. Plan to have my weekly bets up by Thursday night every week. Also plan to have my few more season long bets up by tomorrow (just waiting to see if Paddypower will give me a special price on a bet).:cool:

Hopefully this can start off where it finished last season but with a happier ending for myself (aka Shels wiping the floor with the League and being back where we belong).

Surely Shels have to be the bet of the opening weekend??really cant believe their price. Also gonna have a prety large interest in Pats at the prices. Galway gonna be really bad this year and excluding Drogs i dont see either of them picking up too many points this season. Big singles and doubles on them 2 on opening weekend for me

11/8 we were yesterday on PP, definitely worth a large sum for anyone out there. Still waiting on PP to see if they can offer me a price on a related event. Mervue could be worth a few bob too this weekend, brought in a few decent players imo, while Bray will be another team I'll be looking at, both Bohs keepers are most likely out so they'll have their A team youngster Craig Sexton in goals.

Ya was thinking bout Bray myself aswell. 5/4 i got on Powers earlier for Shels. Really like Pats tho. We played Galway in a friendly last week and it really should have been 6 or 7-1. They really gonna struggle this year especially in the early stages and i still think the 8/11 is good value and thats in from 5/6.

Did ya get the special price you were on about earlier in the thread??mind me asking what it was??also on the -1 bets on Pats,Shels and Cork its definitely getting some of my money!!

Thought I posted it must have forgot, it was Conan Byrne top goalscorer and Shels to win the League which they only gave me 12/1 on. Conan Byrne alone on Boyles is 10/1 and Shels are 9/4 on PP. Still tempted to ring up Boyles tomorrow and get a price mind you.

Ye the -1 treble is a crazy price, Cork and Shels should do the business fairly handily, Pats is dodgy as Galway are usually they're boggy team, in saying that Galway still have finalised a squad.

I really fancy Pats but ya Galway are a bit of a bogey team but i think they have had just so little time to prepare that they should be ok!!I dont fancy much in our game but John Russell at 18/1(with ladbrokes) to score first is a huge price as he will be playing in the advanced central role of our 5 man midfield and os a player who can score goals. Ya can also back e/w on first goals with them and he is definitely worth a bet.
Getting excited about tonights game now. Getting the dinner in at half 1 and then pints and a bus to derry at 4. Really good to have live football back!!

UCDD won't be a push over, lad I went to school with got promoted to their first team this season said Martin Russell is doing a great job with very little quality. UCDD have always been dark horses in this League and can always cause an upset imo.

Ya he does do a great job but their squad this year is so poor. 2 lads that are ex-rovers who arent premier standard(marshall and meenan)started with them in key positions last week.Meenan actually played with ye for a while,was he released?? Anyway happy with the result, a good nights work!!

Meenan been with more clubs that I've had hot dinners. Think he was basically told to pish off as his atitude was crap.

We've a terrible squad this season, just lucky that Drogheda are even worse. Didn't deserve a win in that game either.

Gavin "shels" · 22-03-2011 12:41am

Didn't get on here on Friday to through up bets, a combo of a vist to the doctors, Cheltenham, pub and Shels match hampered that.:D Could have a massive single match bet for Friday, just waiting to get confirmation on a couple of injuries.:cool:

Big single....im very interstested!!!Need to get back on track, still cant believe what happened Derry in Drogheda last week.

Gavin "shels" · 24-03-2011 4:09am

Well the big single probably won't happen, basically as some of you might know Bohs played Hibs in a friendly on Monday, Fagan and Bisto went off injured. Seems Flood will be ok so it's kinda turned me off Galway at 11/2. I'll wait to see team news tomorrow.

Phonics · 24-03-2011 12:54pm

What do you think of your match this weekend??now i fully expect yous to win the league this year but do you think Mervue may be a tad overpriced this weekend at 15-2. They are better than a lot of people seem to give them credit for and have had a decent start to the season including a draw at home to Cork who youd expect to be there or thereabouts at the end of the season and by a few accounts seemed to be unlucky in longford last week after taking the lead. Wouldnt be one for massive stakes but just seems to be a big price, what ya think??Fwiw i think we could go a bit mad this weekend and batter the Drogs at home, we are due to give a performance and might dutch a couple of the bigger scorelines to nil as i cant see them scoring against our defence.

Gavin "shels" · 24-03-2011 5:35pm

Afaik we've a full strength squad and I'll be honest when I can see us thumping these. We seem to be starting to gel as a team, and seem to be gradually getting better week by week. I'd be saying Shels -1 or -2 tbh, Matthews will have gave them some bollocking after a shocking second half performance last week and can't see us repeating that crap this week.

On an unrelated betting note, I hope the weather stays as is, could get a lot of people out to matches and will make a long trip to stand in a field in Galway a lot more bearable for me tomorrow.:D

The handicap treble was done with Boyles as PaddyPower don't have Shels -2 on their site.

Still unclear if Anto Flood and Fagan will be out for Bohs, so I'm staying away from Galway and backing Bohs instead. If Bisto and Fagan happen to be out I'd get on them (personnally won't be as I'll be on a bus to Mervue).

Gavin "shels" · 26-03-2011 4:23pm

Didn't really expect Shels to struggle that much in Mervue, but they screwed the nice handicap bet as the other two came in.

And the other bets were woeful.

Hopefully someone got on Galway to beat Bohs in the end.:mad:

Would have thought Bohs -1 was more solid than Rovers -1. Bray being somewhat Rovers bogey team, granted it's moreso when in the Carisle but still. Nice bet, you have with cracking odds.
