FAI Cup - Dundalk

Not a Dundalk fan, kiddo, but it wouldn't strike me as an outstanding bet. The other books (incl PP) make it 11/1. Also, re the "home advantage", Dundalk's away form (best in Prem) is far superior to their home form this season (despite the team playing on an artificial surface). Given that they're now in a position to challenge for the League themselves, that might actually have a detrimental effect on their Cup challenge at some point.

I don't think the odds are lying in this case.

Just to add, if I were backing Dundalk for the FAI Cup, I would be looking to back them e.w. at this stage. I notice that Ladb are a miserly 1/3 on their place terms. I'd rather back them e.w. at 11/1(1/2) with the other firms than 12/1(1/3).

Im a Dundalk fan and i'd say its overpriced.Nothing flukey about our position atm and we played Rovers off the park last night.We've won 6 from our last 7 home games so nothing wrong with our home form.
Would certainly fancy us to beat Limerick but hard to know how the league will play out and if it become a distraction.Would say around the 7/1 or 8/1 mark would be the correct price.

Well done last night punkha1 , I decided not to go after our inept display last week against Sligo , From what was relayed to me live , ye were much the better team and fully deserved your win ...Crolly is a one dimensional manager , who's been found out , unable to change ,closed mind ,and only his stats to back him up...A sorry state of affairs ...

Cheers workrider yeah i was surprised just how toothless & lacking in ideas rovers were,zayed never got a kick.Crolly looks a bit out of his depth,great coach by all accounts but not a manager imo.

lucky for us rovers sacked Stephen Kenny!

I was up there workrider knew we would get beaten when Ricer wasn't playing and Robo was.Dundalk total deserved their win,always good to see a strong Dundalk team.

Bloody hell NeddieK is trying to jump on the Dundalk FC bandwagon now.

goway ya gobshyte

Some turn around Kenny has made for you freddiek.

I was at the game v villa today , we showed what we are capable of , maybe thats the wrong thing to say huddys , but you know what i mean .We had a few good chances but never took them , once again Trevor showed he will not change even for a friendly , he had a chance to experiment today and try something new , but the poor guy is caught up in his stats , persisting with robbo and chambers across the middle of the park when both of them are out of their depth ...I was lucky to be invited in for some lunch during half time huddys , Paul mc Grath came and sat beside me and we had a great chat , I felt so sorry for him , even while he was trying to have a bite to eat people were asking him to pose for photos , the poor chap never get a minute to himself ...I asked him about his time at villa , he said he had a great time there , and the fans were great to him ..I said to him if i was a Villa fan i'd be a little worried how easily we got in behind them , Teams who get the kind of chances we had today will put them away ..Worrying times ahead for them , to reliant on one man to score them goals....

Didn't go today workrider not a fan of theses games,glad we made a nice few quid from it tho.

Packed out , I never knew Villa had so many Irish fans , daughters fella included , never saw him at a loi match , yet he arrives at the match wearing villas colours ...Well those scarves , Rovers    Villa ones ...

Ye heard there were loads of irish villa fans,pity they don't have a big interest in the league here tho,

A local lad i know played 60 mins for you's today Workrider,Mark Sandford,
Very good player.

He ran all over the place , up top on his own thanks to Trev , i'm sure he'll sleep well tonight Cheltenham....

Thanks for the feedback lads. I was thinking that there may be some laziness on the part of the bookies with their pricing of this - failing to take into account Dundalk's current form. In fact when the 3rd round draw was made, it took some of the bookies the best part of a week to even update their prices. Have had a small interest at 12s.

QF Draw:
Shels v Dundalk
Pats v Shams
Sligo v Derry/Bluebell
Cobh/Finn Harps v Drogs

Decent draw for Dundalk, who continue in fine form.

not great for us....

Semi-final Draw

Drogs v Dundalk
Sligo v Shams

Dundalk into top price 5/2

I think we will win it kiddo , our only route into Europe now....

Looking good Kiddo we've been in some form lately winning our last 8 and playing some amazing football.
Really think we've turned into the best team in the league but the markets haven't woken up to it.
14/5 away to Pats tomorrow seems overpriced.We've sold out all our tickets in a day and are bringing down at least 1300.Gonna be some night think we can come away with the win.

Stupid tackle for first red, really stupid!!
