What's the story with Wexford Youths? Do they not have supporters?

It's impossible to find news about them, no preview for tomorrow's game on their website, nothing on the internet either, their Facebook page is dead, noone comments or likes anything on their page, what's going on with them?

Small provincial club, they've a fan or two in the LOI thread in the soccer forum. We should be beating them tomorrow though, we don't have too many absentees and have been quite good at home this season. A game we need to win to get some momentum going again. Extratime.ie should have a preview up at some stage tomorrow.

2-1 to GUFC at ht. We've dominated, should/could have had 4, they scored from and are playing for set pieces.

Draw looks a good call in Sligo v Derry 23/10, can see a score draw,not a whole lot to seperate the pair on form lately and it's a TV game so it's bound to be a dull tight game.

Finn Harps over 1.5 goals 5/4 , watched Wexford against Galway last week,shambolic defending at the moment I would fancy any side in the division to score a couple against them, Theyv conceded 13 goals in their last 6 games which is about 2 per match

Limerick won 2-0. Shels had a pen saved which was the last kick of the game! Limerick should have been about 5 up at that stage. We'll take it!

Derry v Limerick BTTS @ 4/5. League cup semi final. Derry scored in 14 of last 16 home games. Limerick scored in 24 of last 24 games in all comps (albeit mostly in the 1st division).

Limerick are flying, but this will be a very tough test at the Brandywell. I think we'll score.

Limerick won 1-0. Absolutely fantastic result for us. Derry failed to score for only the 3rd time in 17 home games.

Shamrock Rovers -v- Longford 8pm
As we've said Rovers have been playing much better as of late since the sacking of manager Pat Fenlon, They have put together some pretty good results during this spell under their new manager. Rovers in their last 5 home games have won 3 & drew 2 games, the 3 in which they won all covered the -1.5 handicap. Rovers sit 6 points behind 3rd Derry who hold the last European spot currently but Rovers have 2 games in hand in which they must gain maximum points to catch Derry. The incentive is there for Rovers to beat Longford well.

Longford on the other hand sitting in last place, they have put together 2 draws in their last 2 games and are slightly improving, although both draws against poor opposition. Longford are still struggling very much & especially in defence. They are by far the worst team in the league and we feel that a hungry Rovers team looking to catch up to Derry to try and get that European spot should have far to much at home to Longford.

Shamrock Rovers -1.5 (GENERAL) @ 2.00 - SMALL STAKE

---

Cabinteely -v- Cobh Ramblers 7.45pm

Cabo in Stradbrook would normally be a game to avoid for us as the pitch was in such a bad state games were such a lottery. However, vast vast improvements to the playing surface have been made recently which may level the playing field (pardon the pun) for travelling teams.

Cobh are desperate for points to keep in touch with those above them in the playoff spots, and after a morale boosting comeback last week against Waterford, we fancy Cobh to take maximum points this week to keep their challenge up.

Cobh win (GENERAL) @ EVENS - SMALL STAKE

Any thoughts on Galway DC? Surely the Dundalk players must be tired after the CL game plus the celebrations?

They will use their squad and change the team a bit. They have a nice squad who will be eager to impress , I wouldn't back Galway DC, I expect a low scoring Dundalk win .

On our day we are very good but if Dundalk turn up in the right frame of mind then you'd expect them to nick it, we could scrape a draw though, we have done largely well against the top teams at home this season.

irish_goat

Wouldn't bet against Dundalk this season at all.

Dundalk and Limerick both fail to win on the same night, which not a lot of people would have expected...

Not sure but if your backing their 3 to 5 in lads . Slightly better

Will be keeping tabs on Cork inplay, it's there chance now to take the upper hand on Dundalk!

SteelyDanJalapeno

Team of intent out too, just took my seat

SteelyDanJalapeno

On SW now, Nults absolute howler

SteelyDanJalapeno

Not good enough in front of goal in the 1st half a few goal worthy chances, Sligo's 2nd was well worked.

Gavin "shels"

Heard Cork could and should have won by near double digits!

About 13 shots on target, some very poor shooting, absolutely gifted them their opener and they scrambled a second over the line. We could have got 2 more near the end not sure how we didnt. Typical.

***LEAGUE OF IRELAND BETS***

Hopefully to get some stability with the bets, have been very unlucky in recent weeks. Three picks this week which the 4 of us have spoke about with brief writes up courtesy of Graeme and myself!

---

Sligo Rovers -v- Shamrock Rovers Friday 7.45pm
Sligo host Rovers on Friday at the showgrounds unbeaten in 6 following 5-0 win over Wexford and a good 2-1 win away at Cork City. They come into this unbeaten at home since March and won 9 of their last 14 games. Rovers have won 2 and drawn 1 of their last 3 games so aren't in bad shape themselves but when you consider the win was against Longford and draw at home to Bray the form looks better on paper. They were beaten mid week against St Pats at home in the cup. Evan Osam, Luke Byrne and Killian Brennan are all injury worries for Rovers.
Sligo have been a much better side since the mid season break and a lot of their new players are now settled in the side. We expect this to be a tight game with Sligo just nicking it.

Sligo Rovers -0.25 (GENERAL) @ 2.05 - SMALL STAKE

---

St. Patricks Ath -v- Galway Friday 7.45pm
Straight forward one here, both teams are attacking sides so we should see a goal from each at least. Over 2.5 goals would be a bet too.

Pats games have averaged 2.65 goals this season
Galway games have averaged 2.55 goals this season

Both Teams to Score (GENERAL) @ 4/5 - SMALL STAKE

---

Limerick -v- Cabinteely Saturday 2pm
1st -v- 2nd from bottom! I'll repeat what I've said for every bet - their full time status and Premier Division quality squad is reflected in the League table and their results. Limerick FC have been steam rolling through every team in the 1st Division while also knocking out several Premier Division teams in recent weeks to reach the League Cup final. Limerick have notched up 56 points in 20 games, with a +56 goal difference. Limerick can essentially win the League here (if Drogs/UCD draw).
Limericks home form this season, has seen them win 9 and draw 1. Conceding 10 goals while scoring 38!
They've beat Cabinteely in their two encounters this season 3-0 at home and 2-0 on a horrible Stradbrook pitch.

Cabinteely have lost 9 of their 10 aways this season, with one draw. Conceding 25 goals while scoring 6.

Limerick -2 Euro Handicap (PaddyPower) @ 10/11 - MEDIUM STAKE

Bateman

Good call on Sligo, the value was definitely on them

Bateman

Late enough pricing up tomorrow night's games but I think at bigger than 2s, Derry are a decent bet. These Monday-after-a-Friday games often throw up big priced winners generally. I wouldn't be surprised if Bray or Wexford (or both!) won.

Can't catch a break, just Sligo winning. Limerick are now avoidable for the rest of the season, they don't seem to want to kill games off anymore.

100%, looked bad once Rovers got the lead.

Sligo at near evens for DNB!

Derry are now 7/2 wonder why there drifting , double chance 1.95 looks very decent with the form there in

I’d give Bray a much bigger chance this Friday than their price away to Galway implies. 2s DNB looks decent

Bateman

Not much hype around the cup games…will probably go under 1.5 in the Bohs v Derry game

Gavin "shels"

Bateman wrote: »

As a group we're not doing a write up for the Cup games, nothing stands out at all. Personally, my only bet is Over 2.5 in Pats/Limerick.

wadacrack

Sligo -0.75 v Wexford looks good. Wouldnt be surprised if Wexford rest a few they have looked very tired lately. Sligo could be darkhorses for the cup

Bateman

After the Cup draw, I am thinking Pat’s are probably the value at the likely prices.
They are a very hard team to figure out but might be suited to a couple of big performances in the cup against the top league sides.

Conventional wisdom says they are a great bet to beat Bohs on Friday at 19/20 with Bet365 – but it doesn’t always work like that in the LOI

Pats were very good against Limerick on Friday. They seem to have really hit form at a terrible time from Limerick's point of view, with the EA sports cup final coming up in a few weeks time! Good young team with plenty pace, very comfortable on the ball. I'll definitely be having some of the 21/20 on them to beat Bohs at home tomorrow.

Bohs have an extreme player injury crisis lump on pats

***LEAGUE OF IRELAND BETS***

Two picks this Friday which the 4 of us have spoke about with brief writes up courtesy of Graeme and myself! May possibly be a bet tomorrow posted for one of the Saturday games, awaiting team news.

---

St. Patricks Athletic -v- Bohemians Friday 7.45pm
Pats come into this home game against Bohs in decent form, winning 3 of their last 4 domestic games. It's been a bit of a disapointing season for pats so far but have looked like turning a corner recently. In team news, the Saints are without the services of defender Sean Hoare as he serves a one match suspension. Otherwise, Pat's manager Liam Buckley has a full squad to select from.
Bohs aren't in bad form themselves but make the trip to Richmond park in the midst of an injury crisis. Bohemians will be without defenders Stephen Best (ankle) and Derek Pender (suspended) here are selection concerns up front too with Mark Quigley (hamstring) set to miss out, while Ismahil Akinade remains a doubt with illness that saw him sit out two of Bohs’ last three games
Goalkeeper Shane Supple, who suffered an ankle injury against Cork City a fortnight ago, returns to training but it could be two early for him. They have called up 2 U19s players to fill the squad.
Pats recent good form added to Bohs injury worries is enough for us here.

St. Patricks win (GENERAL) @ 21/20 - MEDIUM STAKE

---

Wexford -v- Dundalk Friday 8pm
Straight forward one here, Dundalk endured a tough game on Tuesday in Poland against Legia and looked dead on their feet come full time. They had just have a couple of days turn around, and now have a 500km round trip to Wexford. Realistically the Dundalk players mind will be focused on the Europa League draw at 11.30am tomorrow.

Dundalk have lost their last two League games, to Bray and Galway.

Wexford Double Chance (GENERAL) @ 5/2 - SMALL STAKE

callaway92

Double for the above is over 6/1. Seems decent for a punt

Lotof money has come in for Cabinteely, Athlone have a few injuries
