There was a time Betfair used to be first up with all these markets and we use to have a bit of craic.

Now like the the World Cup top scorer market they seem to prefer to be the last. :(

We have signed Barry Murphy and Chris O`Connor, Steven Gray and Raff Cretaro. We are more likely than not adding Gareth McGlynn, Ruaidhri Higgins and Mark Quigley this week. We knew Brian Murphy was going but Gary Deegan is an added blow. Having said that, he was missing for a large chunk of last season and we survived. In Nutsy we trust!

Still find it strange not going to games over Christmas. Used to be a great session.
You wont have to improve much this year wr but you`ll still start 2nd in the betting for sure.

Bohs seem to have made a lot of good signings so if they hold on to most of last years squad bar the ones who have already gone then their gonna be very hard to beat.
Not sure what the betting would be but maybe 4/6 bohs,5/2 Rovers,8/1 Cork something along those lines.

Really looking forward to him next season GS, along with the likes of Steinbeck and Jan Vermeer. Very exciting prospects.

Hope you have a happy and prosperous 2010 mate, hopes high for another great season for the Bohs!
Report Giant Strides December 29, 2009 10:14 PM GMT
Cheers SOF. Many happy returns.
Ndo is almost certainly gone. Crowe and Fenn released, so it`s certainly not the same squad punkha.
Any news on your lot? I`d imagine Foster will take some with him from the west. If you keep 11 men on the pitch next season you never know! :^0
Report punkha1 December 29, 2009 10:43 PM GMT
Ha yeah GS 11 men on the pitch would be a start though at the moment we only have 2 players signed! Cherrie who is a top keeper and we just signed Alan Cawley who im not sure about.
Although our budget is smaller than last season for sensible reasons there is a feeling about that last years squad have been let go cos of the disciplinary problems and maybe the funny rumours re the derry game.
Depending on Cork we could yet end up in Europe but starting again from scratch while disappointing maybe be in the best interests of the club and if we can finish mid-table then i suppose Foster will have done ok but very hard to say till we have any players :)
Report Giant Strides December 29, 2009 10:54 PM GMT
Well the main thing is you still have a club, and one with a real identity. You`ve bounced back many times before, so theres no reason why you cant again. Cheerio.
Report punkha1 December 29, 2009 11:01 PM GMT
Yeah cheers Giant your right and hopefully all the clubs will get their act together this year.
I was really sad to see what happened Derry but if its serves as a wake up call then hopefully we'll have a better league for it.
I know its got a lot of problems but you cant beat it imo roll on march!

PAT FENLON last night agreed to become Dundee United boss after thrashing out terms at Tannadice.
Irishman Fenlon jumped at the offer from Arabs chairman Stephen Thompson to succeed new Scotland manager Craig Levein.

Fenlon, 40, will have to sweat while United sort out a compensation wrangle with Bohemians.

But SunSport understands that won't stop him from getting his dream opportunity.

And he is expected to be in the dugout for Saturday's Scottish Cup fourth-round tie against Partick Thistle at Firhill.

The hugely successful League of Ireland manager, who has won five titles in eight years with Shelbourne and Bohs, is desperate to prove himself in British football.

Dubliner Fenlon beat off competition from ex-United star Billy McKinlay, currently youth chief at Fulham, while Michael O'Neill and John McGlynn had also been in the frame.

With three years left on Fenlon's £80,000-a-year contract, Bohs are believed to be demanding £240,000 to let him go.

But United hope to get him for NOTHING amid talk of Fenlon being owed bonuses from cash-strapped Bohs.

Fenlon - the second most successful manager in Irish football history - informed the Bohemians board last night that he was accepting the United post.

It's thought he may simply write off any debts to make a clean break.

If a quick release agreement is struck he'll formally become United's new boss by the weekend.

Arabs director Derek Robertson said: "I can confirm we have held very positive but preliminary talks with Pat about becoming our new manager."

Bohemians are believed to have mounting debts and are in serious financial trouble after a property deal stalled.

They sold Dalymount Park three years ago in a 30million euro deal that promised them a new all-seater stadium.

But the project hit the buffers and sent the club into financial turmoil.

Fenlon was once Celtic's scout in Ireland.

It's understood that the United board received a glowing recommendation for him from former Tannadice gaffer Levein.

Now chairman Thompson, with his first managerial appointment since he took over from his late father Eddie, is hoping Fenlon can maintain United's progress.

United have a contingency plan to make a shock swoop for stand-in Motherwell No2 Archie Knox if there's an unlikely breakdown in the Fenlon move.
