Liverpool 9/4 to get points deduction
WITH Liverpool’s attempts to acquire new owners threatening them with a possible points’ deduction, William Hill are offering odds of 9/4 that they will be handed a points deduction during the current season – and 1/3 that they will not. ‘Liverpool seem to be adopting a potentially high risk strategy which could cost them points which they will need if they have any aspirations of winning a European place this season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe

Bohs now to complete Hat-trick of Leagues
Bohemians are now the 4/11 favourites to win the 2010 Airtricity League title following a dramatic series of matches on Saturday afternoon.
The Gypsies beat St. Patrick’s Athletic 1-0 at the Stadium of Light – and then watched their bitter rivals, Shamrock Rovers, lose 2-1 at home to Sporting Fingal.
Saturday’s results leaves Bohemians one point clear of Shamrock Rovers at the top of the table with just two games to go.
Rovers, who lead the league by eight points at one stage, are now 2/1 to win their first league title since 1994.
In the penultimate round of fixtures – Bohemians play Galway in Terryland Park, while the Hoops are at home to Drogheda United.
‘Bohemians are now in the box seat – and it’s hard to see them dropping points against either Galway or Dundalk,’ said Hills spokesman Tony Kenny ‘Rovers were 1/6 favourites to win the league just a few weeks ago, but the destiny of the 2010 Airtricity League is now out of their hands.’
