    Derry absolutely killed me! How they could lose to a very weak and depleted UCD side is beyond me.

    Same... and Sligo not scoring against Bray.

    Had a feeling that would be ropey, but UCD were so depleted, 3rd choice keeper playing, etc...

    What do you think about Limerick and Drogheda tomorrow? I think Limerick will win it... And as always with Limerick there will be goals. Limerick to win and 3 or 4 goals in the match is 4/1 with PP. What do you think?? Reverse fixture ended 2-2. Limerick were away.

    Can't see them winning by that much, can see Limerick win though.

    You would have to think that Limerick will win, in the reverse fixture Limerick had 10 men for the second half and 9 men after 75min and conceeded two peno's the equalizer in the 87th min - I'm already on the overs but i like your Limerick to win and 3 or 4 goals @ 4/1

    Limerick v Drogheda
    BTTS 10/11
    11 of 12 Drogs league games has seen BTTS


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,670 ✭✭✭Peppa Pig


    PP handicap bet after tonights games

    Team
    Dundalk 35.8
    Sligo 31.2
    Derry 30.7
    Pats 30.2
    Drogs 27.7
    UCD 26.9
    Limerick 26.8
    Bohs 25.0
    Bray 24.2
    Cork 22.7
    Shels 20.2
    Rovers 17.0

    Also looks like a bad betting night all around for the Drogs to keep our first clean sheet in ages :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 196 ✭✭Drogmal


    LOI bets on early for tomorrow:

    Rovers vs Bohs: I expect Rovers to be leggy as per Crolys comments after the Pats game so we could see a slow start here. In general the derby is a tight, low scoring game. I have opted for half time to be 0-0 at 7/4, small stakes and also BTTS (No) at which has come in 5 out of the last 6 derbies.

    Drogheda vs Derry: This fixture usually brings home the BTTS bet, has in the last 4 games between them, as have all of Drogs home league games this season so I have gone with this to land at 4/5.

    Both teams in the middle of a run of indifferent form so hard to know what way this game will go. Drogheda are overpriced imo especially with Derry on a poor run so I am probably going to lay Derry around 2.4 and back Drogs DNB at 6/5.

    UCD vs Limerick: Limerick score in all away games going back a long while and UCD have started to score a few goals recently so I will be backing BTTS at 4/5.

    Short and sweet.

    Cork City -v- Bray Wanderers - 7.45pm

    Cork have conceded in every home league game, Bray have score 4 goals in their last 2 away games.

    Cork missing a few first teamers, Bray nearly full strenght.

    Both Teams to Score @ Evens (WH) - MEDIUM STAKE

    UCD -v- Limerick - 7.45pm

    UCD have only scored 4 goals at home, while Limerick have netted 13 on the road.

    All Limericks away matches have gone over 2.5 goals this season.

    Over 2.5 goals @ 11/10 (GENERAL) - MEDIUM STAKE

    Finn Harps -v- Wexford Youths - 8pm

    Harps 4 out of 10 matches over 2.5 goals

    Mervue 7 out of 10 matches over 2.5 goals

    The last 5 H2H's 4 of the matches have been over 2.5 goals, with one being over 1.5.

    Over 2.5 goals @ 21/20 (GENERAL) - MEDIUM STAKE


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,783 ✭✭✭P.Walnuts


    Torn between Drogs/Derry and UCD/Limerick, not sure which one to go overs...

    Any ideas, UCD's home scoring record doesn't fill me with confidence, both are 21/20.....thinking of going with Drogs/Derry, any thoughts?


  • Registered Users Posts: 542 ✭✭✭crustyjuggler


    I went over 2.5 in UCD match , Drogs v Derry BTTS , Cork City BTTS , ShamrocK BTTS no and Pats win .

    Gutted I was in work till 8, team news was quality for the likes of Drogs and Sligo!

    Anyone know what kind of teams Rovers and Dundalk will put out tonight?

    http://twitpic.com/cs8ikq

    A lot of 2nd string players in the that lineup.

    5 changes for Shamrock and 3 for Dundalk

    Over 2.5 goals 11/10
    BTTS 11/10


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,056 ✭✭✭applehunter


    I like the overs as well.

    3/1 over 3.5 for a small stake too.

    Limerick v Sligo
    Sligo 5/6


    On Friday night [May 24th] Limerick FC will host Sligo Rovers at Thomond Park in a game that will be broadcast live on RTE2 with a 7.05pm kick off. The Superblues go into the game with a number of selection headaches as Stuart Taylor faces his biggest injury crisis of the season.

    Pat Purcell is definitely out, following an injury picked up in last Friday’s game against UCD. Steven McGann has two broken bones in his foot following an injury sustained against Waterford United in the EA Sports Cup on Monday night. Dom Foley and Robbie Williams will both definitely miss the game.

    Dave O’Leary, Brian O’Callaghan, Aaron Brown, Shaun Kelly, Shane Costelloe and Barry Ryan are all doubtful for tomorrow’s game, though they will undergo late fitness tests. Craig Curran is expected to play wearing protective headgear. Jeffrey Judge will miss the game as a result of the Red Card received against UCD in our last League game.

    For the visitors, Evan McMillan and long term absentee Danny North are both out of the Sligo Rovers squad, but Ian Barraclough will welcome back Gavin Peers and David Cawley from suspension and is also buoyed by the return of Ciaran Kelly and Seamis Conneely from injury. Sligo were not in league action last weekend as a result of the postponement of their game against Dundalk at the Showgrounds, but they did record an impressive 4-0 victory over Mervue United in the EA Sports Cup on Monday night, so have no fears of a lack of match fitness.

    Sligo are currently top of the Airtricity League table on goal diference, having played a game less than St.Pat’s though they have gathered only one point more than the Superblues in their five most recent league games. The previous meeting between the two sides resulted in a 2-1 to Sligo in the Showgrounds in what was a largely even contest.

    ***LEAGUE OF IRELAND BETS***

    An assortment of 4 Medium Bets and 1 Large Bet!

    Limerick FC -v- Sligo Rovers - 7.05pm (LIVE ON RTE2)

    Top of the table Sligo visit Limerick tonight who sit in 7th.

    Both teams played on Monday in the League Cup, Sligo coasted to a 3-0 win while Limerick had to endure extra-time and penalites (large amount of their squad were first teamers)!

    Sligo have the best away defensive record in the league this season while Limerick have only scored 6 goals at home this year. Half of those were against UCD and 2 were from set pieces against Bohemians.

    The big news is on the injury front, Sligo have one or two missing but Limerick could struggle badly! Limerick could be missing 12 players! Experienced keeper Barry Ryan is a doubt, 4 first team defenders could be out, few midfielders and a striker who's played every game and scored 2 goals.

    Ideally people should wait till team news is available on Twitter or Extratime.ie, if the likes of Barry Ryan, David O'Leary, Shaun Kelly, Brian O'Callaghan Craig Curran, Aaron Brown, and Robbie Williams this could be upgraded this bet could be upgraded to a LARGE STAKE.

    Sligo win @ 17/20 (WH) - MEDIUM STAKE

    Derry City -v- Cork City - 7.45pm

    There was murmurings mid-week that Corks manager was due to be sacked, that turned out to be false. Cork travel the 1000Km round trip to Derry this Friday evening.
    Derry welcome 3 first team players back this week, while Cork are going to be without experienced defenders Kevin and Dan Murray along with strikers Danny Furlong (8 matches, 1 goal) and Denis Behan (12 matches, 2 goals).

    Derrys last home match was a shock 4-2 loss to UCD, while Corks last away was a 2-1 win over a week Bohs side which had doubts over whether their assistant manager was leaving or not! Derry have mended there ways beating Drogheda 3-2 last weekend while Cork lost 3-1 at home to Bray.

    Derry will want to will to keep the pressure on St. Pats and Sligo, and I can see them doing that. Derry are a serious force to be reckoned with at home in my opinion!

    Derry -1 asian @ 21/20 (Bet365) - MEDIUM STAKE

    Bray Wanderers -v- Drogheda Utd - 7.45pm

    Going to be a quick one on this.

    Bray have had 9 matches out of 14 with Over 2.5 goals this season.

    Drogs have had 12 matches out of 14 with Over 2.5 goals this season.

    Head to Head: Over 2.5 goals and BTTS have come in, in the last 6 games between these sides, with Drogs winning 5 and Bray 1.

    Both Teams To Score @ 7/10 (Ladbrokes) - MEDIUM STAKE
    Over 2.5 Goals @ 5/6 (BetVictor and Ladbrokes) - MEDIUM STAKE

    Cobh Ramblers -v- SD Galway - 7.45pm

    Although 2nd last in the table Cobhs home form is decent, 2 wins, 2 draws and a loss. Scoring 16 and conceding 10.

    While SDs away form is dire, 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. Scoring 4 and conceding 11.

    Cobh didn't play on Monday in the Cup, so will be fresh for this match. While SD Galway played their first team squad on Monday in the Cup against St.Pats which went to Extra-time. Bear in mind these two teams are fully amateur, the last thing SD Galway want is a 450Km round trip to Cobh.

    The big news is John Meade (Captain) is back after missing last weekends 5-1 loss to Longford. I can't find anything as to why their top goalscorer Davin O'Neill didn't play last weekend but he looks good to be playing this fixture!

    Cobh win @ EVENS (Paddy Power) - LARGE STAKE


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,966 ✭✭✭✭Gavin "shels"


    no doubt rovers will let you down :mad:

    Not likely, we've loads injured/doubtful. Hughes and Kelly played last week injured ffs! :( Although I'm fairly certain our new manager will be in the stands so players will want to be giving 110%!

    Have Limerick already played in a televised game this season? I'm worried that Limerick will play with extra motivation cuz the game's televised.

    Mervue United Injured: Alex Lee (foot), Gary Curran (knee) Gary Shanahan (foot)

    Doubtful: Tom King (hamstring), Jason Molloy (ankle), Marc Ludden (foot), Noel Varley (back) Martin Conneely (knee)

    Suspended: Barry O’Mahony


    I'm pretty sure of the doubts, that Tom King is Fit, himself and Curran are huge players for them, but if neither are in the squad I suggest going big on Longford.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,293 ✭✭✭Dio On The Doubles


    I like the look of the Bray v Drogs match for BTTS as mentioned above in Gavin's thread. Gonna take BTTS and Drogs win at 11/4 on Powers.

    Dave O’Leary, Brian O’Callaghan, Shaun Kelly, and Barry Ryan all start

    Aaron Brown and Shane Costelloe on the bench

    ***League of Ireland Bets***

    Its Cup weekend, potentially so much value in some of these games as they’re priced on the tier that they play at rather than how good the team is (Some non-League sides are quality as their players have the ability to play in the League of Ireland but don’t have the time).

    I’ve also been onto two of my mates who play football in the same leagues against some of these non-league side and one mate who plays for one of the First Division sides playing.


    FRIDAY:

    Dundalk –v- Phoenix – 7.45pm

    There’s potentially an inplay + handicap bet in this, my mate plays for Phoenix and when I asked if they could snatch anything he said “No hope for us man!”. At 16/1 they could be on a large + handicap, and Dundalk don’t score much. Phoenix +2 for example is 17/10 on PP at the moment, hopefully can get +3 inplay at around evens.

    SD Galway –v- Shamrock Rovers – 7.45pm

    Again, potentially an inplay + handicap bet in this. As some of you may remember, SD Galway were beating St.Pats the Monday before last in a different Cup match. We have seen Rovers and Pats both play in recent weeks, Pats are a miles better side! At 18/1 they could be a decent + handicap.

    Also a point on SD Galway, their pitch is next to the coast and is essentially in a quarry, so the wind there does be mental hence why clubs struggle.


    SATURDAY:

    St.Patricks CY –v- Cobh Ramblers – 2.30pm

    Pats CY play in the highest tier of the Leinster Senior League (amateur league basically below the LoI First Division), they’ve not had the best of season at all this year finding themselves 11th out of 14. But Cobh have been shocking recently, losing last week to SD Galway at home!

    We had potentially a large stake bet lined up for this until we found out the match isn’t being played on St.Pats CY pitch (an astro turf pitch), and is instead being placed in a ground 20 mins away.

    St.Patricks CY win @ 10/3 (WH) – SMALL STAKE
    St. Patricks CY DNB @ 11/5 (BetVic) – MEDIUM STAKE


    Bluebell Utd –v- Athlone Town – 7pm

    This has over taken St.Pats CY as my most confident bet. We’ve stated several times in these write ups that I don’t really rate Athlone while Bluebell are 4th in the top tier of the Leinster Senior League (goal difference denying them 3rd atm). Bluebell are a quality LSL side, and they have veteran marksman Trevor Molloy (ex-Shamrock Rovers/Pats/Shels/Bohs player) on their books.

    The match isn’t being essentially being played on Bluebells pitch but it’s being played a short distance away.

    Bluebell win @ 31/10 (BetVic) – MEDIUM STAKE


    Longford Town –v- Pike Rovers 7.30pm

    Many of you will remember the tip a few weeks ago of KIlbarrack to beat Pike Rovers (which Kilbarrack won 2-1). Now Kilbarrack/Pike Rovers wouldn’t be on the same par as Bluebell but 10/1 for Pike is serious value.

    Pike Rovers generally get hold of some decent ex-League of Ireland players, Jeffrey Judge for example took a break with them a couple of seasons ago and is back with Limerick FC. They have a quality keeper.

    Also, I was talking to a mate of mine on Tuesday who is a first team player with Longford, he thinks that they’ll be pushed all the way on Saturday by Pike Rovers.

    Could be good, although, Salthill -v- Pats ended 2-2 the Monday before last so not sure.

    Tolka Rovers could be a decent bet too lads, they should beat Cork Corinthians, supposedly Cork are missing some players due to work commitments too which makes me even more confident (only found this info about a while ago).

    Many of you will remember the tip a few weeks ago of KIlbarrack to beat Pike Rovers (which Kilbarrack won 2-1). Now Kilbarrack/Pike Rovers wouldn’t be on the same par as Bluebell but 10/1 for Pike is serious value.

    Pike Rovers generally get hold of some decent ex-League of Ireland players, Jeffrey Judge for example took a break with them a couple of seasons ago and is back with Limerick FC. They have a quality keeper.

    Also, I was talking to a mate of mine on Tuesday who is a first team player with Longford, he thinks that they’ll be pushed all the way on Saturday by Pike Rovers.

    Pike Rovers DNB @ 11/1 (PP) – SMALL STAKE

    The Salthill game is moved to Terryland/Deacy park tonight Gav just so you know.

    Could be good, although, Salthill -v- Pats ended 2-2 the Monday before last so not sure.

    Tolka Rovers could be a decent bet too lads, they should beat Cork Corinthians, supposedly Cork are missing some players due to work commitments too which makes me even more confident (only found this info about a while ago).

    Might go for Asian goaline under 3, 3.5 instead at 2.02 instead.

    The pitch news above does make a difference

    Bohemians V Drogheda
    Over 2.5 goals 1/1
    Should be goals in this one Drogheda score and concede

    Went with the Asian goaline instead of under 2.5, still a nice win though

    Tits, I was on my way to Tolka so only seeing this now, if I had of known that I wouldn't have been on. :(

    Just a bet update, Derry City (3pm KO) could be worth a punt against Blarney Utd. Blarney Utd finished 9 points behind Bandon (I seen them play Shelbourne last night, they were dire) in the league. Derry -2 asian could be decent inplay.

    Also, Derry are current champions, they'll want a good start to their defense.

    Any thoughts on LSC Gav? Will Pat's be taking this serious?

    Haven't a breeze, I'd have them down as more aimed at the FAI Cup, League and Europe, but with no League matches till Saturday I can see all 4 teams fielding strong teams tonight. Shels and UCD will be 90 minutes of gold no doubt...:(

    Was thinking the same. Over 2.5 was 19/20 for shels match.

    Wait for line ups regards Pats
