    Couldn't trust Villa to scrape a result together tbh the rest look decent prospects.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,580 ✭✭✭kingshankly


    wouldn't trust villa or man city
    Might go for
    Dundee utd 8/11
    Spurs 8/11
    Sunderland at evs

    Say City are definately Dodge this weekend, big effort last night and a few hobbling at the end. Think there might be a hang-over from going out. I think Middlesborough & Sunderland will be my double

    Stay away from Wolves there is no way they'll be so sensible as to win promotion at home with two games to spare!

    Cork City
    Derry city
    ucd

    treble for tonight


    Fulham stand out bet for weekend for me 9/4 for a team who beat man utd, held liverpool for 90mins and beat man city last weekend!

    Fulham
    exeter
    brentford

    My saterday treble


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,030 ✭✭✭jacool


    dead certs this weekend are
    AS Roma and AC Milan at colossal odds of 3/10 and 2/7 making 4/6 so we need to boost that. Barcelona are 4/9 and need another win while in France PSG only need to turn up to win at 1/4.
    that's a cast-iron 2/1 quadruple which isn't too bad.
    if you like singles then Stoke and Sunderland are interesting.

    Best prices for the weekend, but just for brave people are
    Wolfsburg 10/11 Malaga 10/11 and Inter Milan 15/8
    apparently Atalanta are playing a team of cripples too, they are 8/11.
    best of luck everyone !

    I don't think this is too attractive a price. I'm no expert but the French League seems very unpredictable and PSG have played in Ukraine yesterday (and were trashed 3-0 as well) so may be very tired. I wouldn't really trust them at such a very short price. Then again if you follow the French league you may know better than me, but 1/4 just seems very short not sure if its worth it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 576 ✭✭✭Fishyfreak


    Bolton (+1) away to Portsmouth is worth a punt at 6/4.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,578 ✭✭✭raheny red


    St Pats -v- Drogheda United

    Once against I’m going against Pats. They are missing quite a few players again tonight through injury and suspension. The fans are not too happy with the start by Kenna and his men and I read this morning that Kenna isn’t even living in Ireland at the moment so that is a ridiculous set up they currently have. He flies in for the games so it will be difficult for him to even know his 11 at this stage. Drogs are nothing special either but they may fancy their chances tonight. I’ll be having two sneaky ht/ft bets on tonight. Draw/Drogs @ 13 and Drogs/Drogs @ 12.


    Bray -V- Derry

    This is going to be a tight affair and I wouldn’t be surprised with Derry not coming away with all 3 points. In Bray’s 7 league game to date every team has managed to score and that were the first two games that ended 0-0. In Derry’s 7 league game to date there have only been 2 duck eggs also, the first game of the season and the 3-0 thrashing of Pats. Derry have scored in every fixture to date. So with both sides able to score goals as well as concede them I’ll be having a go of both teams to score @ 11/10.


    Sporting Fingal -V- Shels

    I have a feeling we’ll be seeing a few goals here tonight. Fingal have great quality up front as do Shels and that should see plenty of chances being created tonight. On Monday Shels easily defeated Dundalk 3-0 but should have been doubled that. I believe that this scoreline was down to the 4-3-3 formation Shels went with on the night. With the possibility of the same formation again tonight I’m opting for over 2.5 goals @ 2.46.


    Backing Draw/Drogs and Drogs/Drogs @ 13.0 and 12.0 respectively (Betfair) 0.25 pts x2.
    Bray -V- Derry backing both teams to score @ 11/10 (Bet 365) 1 pt.
    Fingal -V- Shels backing overs @ 2.46 (Betfair) 2pts.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,952 ✭✭✭Morzadec

    I've just started this kind of stuff but my GAA one came in last week so had a go at the football this week. All safe enough bets, except one is bound to let me down.

    Limerick
    Man Utd (to qualify for next round.)
    Barca
    Real Madrid
    Athletico Madrid
    PSG
    Roma
    AC milan

    only about 10/1.
    Well Limerick have got the ball rolling.

    :(

    1/3 not the worst but still a loss for the night. Must try harder :D

    Was at the Shels game and I must say I was surprised at the lack of Fingal's killer instinct. They could have killed the game off by the hour mark. Instead they score a goal and sit back like Andorra for the rest of the match. Shels had a perfectly good goal disallowed and in the last minute a Shels striker cleared the ball off the Fingal's line with his head :O

    Its looking good but now I'm in the the horrible position of having to cheer on United (who are fielding a bunch of youngsters seemingly).

    My hapiness is firmly hedged on an Everton win. Worst case scenario is a draw and United to win it on extra-time and penoes. That'd be pretty sick.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,952 ✭✭✭Morzadec


    Decided to lay a decent chunk of it off on a United victory as with the team they've put out I think they might struggle. Plus I can go back to cheering against them now! (sort of)
