        Now that the Irish Open is over, I can now concentrate on contributing to and mining this thread.

        Happy days.

          Waterford's Utd's run of wins could turn into a run of one draw on the trot against Monaghan this weekend.

          WUFC are travelling up on the same day for the game, v tough game against a quickly improving Limerick last weekend, and Monaghan are also improving rapidly with a 6-1 hammering of Mervue last game fresh in their minds.

          Still won't have enough to win and Waterford would be happy to take a point while waiting for George O Callaghan to get match fit.

          Draw is 11/5 and the handicap draw WUFC -1 is 13/5.

            agree RE waterford. will be laying 2.3 or lower if get the chance

            laying shelbourne below 2.1

            backed shamrock at evens already

            looking to get 4/6 on longford before i touch them, price little too short

            good word that galway are frantically scrambling to get a dispensation for a new keeper - bohs look a lock, although just too short to back at the min

                        good shout on waterford robin

                        bohs were shocking, not sure how galway even left with a point but doubt barry murphy will have to pay for a pint up there any time soon!

                            I was vilified on the old boards for saying Chelsea were nailed on for the Prem because they were just too strong over a whole season long.

                            I hope I will be sent to Coventry for saying Fingal will win the league this year.

                              Taking a few weeks off unless something big comes up, no br management skills when it comes to sportsbetting, doesn't help when Bohs are tilting me. Higgins must start at CM and that should be enough to turn it around. Nobody looking good enough to win the league at the moment.

                                Apart from away to galway (when they were short due to suspensions) fingal have been one of the better teams all year. this bet aint too far wrong.

                                keep looking at the fixtures and voicing your opinion oscar. The bohs game knocked me for 10 today aswell - but sure hopefully get a better price on them next game (although doubt it)

                                were u at it? opinion??

                                  Glad Fenlon is in charge, the defence has to improve but the quality is there to do so. Murphy is also a better keeper than that performance, his distribution is 1000x better than O'Connors which is vital for us at the mo, if Higgins gets into the team I can see us hammering a few teams, Keegan is class but basically a crab footballer, no forward passes, Cronin is similar but not as good at it , need a creative flow in there.

                                  Would say Higgins will start next Friday judging by Fenlons post match interview btw.

                                    Good solid 1-0 win away to Linfield tonight, hopefully back to usual now.

                                      yeh nice win when he put back in rossiter and brennan

                                      pats should win tomorow, although wouldnt like them if they get too short

                                        Bohs seem to have no shape to me this season, like a dodgy LOI version or a Real Madrid superstars lineout, get them all on the pitch and hope it works out

                                        rossi would make a big difference if stuck in on right imo

                                          We're slowly finding our shape, Rossi is past it unfortunately but still useful as a squad player.

                                            ugh mcglynn got suspended for 2 months.
                                            does he still get paid by bohs durin those 2 month?

                                              apparently mc glynn had like 20E on a game on betfair on his acc - a game in a league he didnt even play in -
                                              Think its a bit unrealistic to expect these players not to have a punt or two. Theyre wages are so $hit, and some of these guys are punting on things they know alot about.

                                              By no means do i justify match fixing, which there has been alot of in the eircom league - but there must be a bit of common sense brought into it aswell.

                                              A guy who has played with say 4 seperate teams in irish leagues, and has friends and knows managers very well. This same guy now only receives only 300-600E a week(which is taxed). Why shouldnt they be able to supplement their wages, or punt like the rest of us, once it isnt in a match they ar involved in.

                                              I know it'll never be accepted really, and also understand the basic reasoning behind it, yet think its ver stupid. Opinions??

                                              On a side note, get in there st pats - 4-0 up at the minute

                                                *Maybe harsh enough not being allowed to bet on loi matches but zero tolerance is probably the easiest way to police it and stop players giving each other the nod on every match!?

                                                as for match fixing, im not saying its never happened but the vast majority of nonsense printed/said about dodgy matches is bookies mouthing off because they didn't put the work in and priced up games wrong

                                                Div one games where one team have injuries and other team are 5/1-7/1
                                                have the bookies screaming fix in this country, where they would be told to fcuk off in other countries

                                                FAI should get the lawyers after them a couple of times imo

                                                *that said the length of the ban is a bit of a joke esp when compared to the Pats lad last year who bet on a match involving his own team
                                                couple of games and a fine was plenty, scapegoat rubbish imo

                                                FAI are a bunch of clowns

                                                  you reckon he's only on like 600 quid a week?

                                                      At most. Players signed/resigned this season are on less than half of the players on old contracts.

                                                        Agreed, also the same length ban as the physio got who bet on a mtch involving his own team. Would be madness not to appeal.

                                                          but sure it wouldn't be worth his while - i'm sure that he would get more working full time than playing football. fair enough bohs put him up in a gaff and pay all expenses but wouldn't have thought 600 quid before tax would be worth it.

                                                            Doubt Bohs put him up, Id happily play football for a living for around 35k a year before tax. The club would certainly make allowances for anyone wanting to study aswell, know a few are in DCU.

                                                            And lol at the fact that you recently posted that McDonalds at around 15k a year pretax sounded decent.

                                                              when did i say McDonalds @ 15k a year sounded decent - i said the prop bet that semibluff suggested - 4500 a month was decent. - there is a difference

                                                                  this is going way off topic, people losin jobs right/left and centre were Q-ing for the mcdonalds job - better than nothing - i have no idea of the wage - where u got 15k from i have no idea.

                                                                  Ok, maybe i didn't see the fact that 35k a year is good, the thought of 600 quid a week when compared with say the english Championship/League 1 isn't much from my pov - indeed there have been many players from the league that have gone over in last few years. would you agree that players with bohs would be of the same standard as some english championship teams?

                                                                  Comment

                                                                    Some Bohs players could/will make it in the championship, Murphy and Deegan both first choice there now however the moneys not in the league, anyone that cant get a good money contract in England are probably better off on a decent wage living close to home, the likes of Keegan and Heary went to school around the corner from Dalymount.

                                                                    Comment

                                                                        Oman shouldn't be a loss, McGuinness looked very solid on Monday, on paper and on the last 2 seasons its one spot that shouldn't trouble us if theres less than 4 defenders out. Anto Murphy back from injury straight in for Cretaro on the right, McGlynn back from being cuptied aswell and a very good chance that Higgins will start alongside Keegan. So suspensions to have close to zero affect.

                                                                        Comment

                                                                                Comment

                                                                                  galway wont take anything away from their game either

                                                                                          backed ucd as alot of "bent" money went on them in bookies. But i think it was just down to the late team news. drogh only had 10 first team squad members with them

                                                                                          laid galways and backed pats for a little too

                                                                                          lost big on ddalk - even though bray missing so many. wtf?!? i give up backing anything shorter than 1/2 in irish football. well for now anyways! lol

                                                                                            think the 12/5 on shamrock rovers is massive away to pats. Few things about the game that i like. the away factor shouldnt make as much diff as we saw rovers win away to bohs already. also their fans travel well so they should be there in force. One thing aswell is that whilst homeless, Rovers shared grounds in richmond.

                                                                                            St pats have been very good so far, and may be slightly over rated. Rovers are the better team on paper, although havnt had the same form as pats. This'll be a very good, tight game in which we'll find out whether or not pats are a title contending team. I think the answer is no, and expect them to fall short of getting the win. 12/5 laddies is too big, and should win this low scoring game

                                                                                            Waterford to keep romping against Longford. With suspensions for longford, and simon kelly (player they recently signed) still serving a suspension, they cant keep clean sheet. the 7/10 with laddies is a good price. Also expect alot of goals here

                                                                                            lay bohs if they go lower than 2/5

                                                                                            Dundalk could be a massive bet, depending on team news for drogh. If theyre as depleted as last week, ill certainly be opposing them - but will no more tomorow evening

                                                                                            have small bet on fingal also - this will tell alot for their season. took the 11/5 on it. i make it just shorter than 2s

                                                                                              Comment

Why the hell George O'Callaghan is playing 1st division LOI football is beyond me. But all we can do is take advantage I suppose.

                                                                                                Sligo at odds against at home is always worth a punt. Fingal look a bit of soft touch away from home this season.

Also had small Unders bet on rovers game, so the late pats goal killed me. Was at the game also, very impressive rovers team

                                                                                                        On waterford and overs. And small bit on fingal also

Bohs have only conceded 1 in their last 5 now, unders on all game Id say. Especially with Raf carrying an injury and McGlynn out for the month.

                                                                                                                      ugh i used to be into irish football but then shels went and got relegated
                                                                                                                      thought i'd try get back into this season but they hasn't really happened - a shels fan supporting bohs doens't sound right

                                                                                                                        So I'm going with some unfashionable teams this weekend where maybe the odds compilers have not factored in the form.

                                                                                                                        Again I will back Sligo at home even though they have gone a little gun shy the last couple of games but Bohs have been so terrible you have to take them on.

                                                                                                                        For me college are the standout bet of the weekend at 11/10 in Bray. Unbeaten in 7 and really solid defensively.

                                                                                                                        3/1 on the handicap is also worth a bet.

                                                                                                                        Comment
