    Returns 6pts


    Bray -v- UCD draw
    Drogs -v- Fingal draw
    Waterford -v- Limerick draw

    Bank 90pts

    Dundalk hadn't scored ine 1000 minutes of football and hadn't lost to Dundalk in years afaik and lose 2-1 tonight, and Waterford stroll home.

    The draws treble was a bit far fetched.

    Over 2.5 goals accum came in though.

    PROFITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT:D

    Bank 114pts

    Bad end to the season, betting wise and Shels wise. Open this back in March!

    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.

    Paul Cook linked with a move to take over the Stockport job, that Sligo bet mightn't be so tempting after all.:mad:

    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,853 ✭✭✭Kod-box


    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,628 ✭✭✭SRFC90


    Lookin' forward to keepin tabs on this for the new season, good luck lad!

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,853 ✭✭✭Kod-box


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,963 ✭✭✭✭Gavin "shels"


    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.

    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!!
