So the season starts this friday and I thought I would get a thread started.
From my own clubs point of view we've lost a couple we knew we were losing but most have re-signed although our injury list is a little worrying. Dave O'Leary has left for Cork, fair enough its his home town club. Joe Gamble also gone last seen in the middle east playing Bahraini football. We have signed Jason Hughes back and Shane Duggan has come back from Cork and was named club captain for the season. All in all Limerick have a very young squad and we are struggling for an experienced centre half with both Pat Purcell and Brian O'Callaghan retiring post season.

To me Pats look very strong as do Sligo the presidents cup final was a good blowout for both teams(Pats won 1-0 K.Fahey excellent goal) and they look to have signed well.
Rovers have had a massive clearout with names like Oman, Sullivan,Powell,Dennehy,Rice,Chambers and Brush leaving they've lost several experienced heads. They have made some good signings too though Stephen McPhail for Sheff Wednesday and Conor Kenna from Pats.
Big season ahead for UCD and Athlone I expect both to stuggle this year.Possibly Limerick too if we get a bad start.

I haven't paid any real attention to during the winter so don't know much about the transfer business most clubs did.
Interesting to see how Shamrock Rovers B do also welcome back Galway F.C replacing Mervue and SD in the league. Longford made a nice acquisition in Stephen Rice he could be a massive player for them this year.
I wouldn't be a fan of season long bets but Pats are 9/4 for the league which seems a fair price the only other two worth talking about to me are Sligo at 7/2 and Rovers at 4's.Semibluff did say on Twitter that you could do worse than back Enda Curran(Derry) each way for top scorer at 33/1 with PP only 22/1 with Boyles. He also mentioned Odhiambo(Sligo) as ew value.
In Div.1 I haven't the first clue who to fancy although that Longford squad are fancied at best priced even money.
From my own clubs point of view we've lost a couple we knew we were losing but most have re-signed although our injury list is a little worrying. Dave O'Leary has left for Cork, fair enough its his home town club. Joe Gamble also gone last seen in the middle east playing Bahraini football.
