NFL Division 1

Maybe Roscommon are just out of their depth in Div.1and against Dublin in particular?

We weren't last year. Had won 4 out of our first 5 games. Where has it all gone wrong? We go from one disaster to another. We have a team sitting at home that would beat the current lot. Soul destroying stuff.

Last year was joint managers. Fergal O Donnell who departed one year into his 3 year agreedment is mostly known for his defensive orgainstion and workrate.  Kevin McStay seems to have some daft idea that he can win games without any defensive system in place or team organinstion and thinks things will be fine once the players get fitter for the championship.

Roscommon look a very unfit side

McStay being found out and I have little sympathy for him, always came across as a right little whingebag.

maybe it was for for record or maybe it was simply timing but dubs had all the big guns out tonight and they were mightly impressive. Having said that Roscommon didn't lay a glove on them. Were was the pride, passion, hurt or whatever you want to call. I can't remember one hard tackle FFS. They stood looking at them after about 10 minutes. Something like 2-26 from play? I don't care how good dublin are that is inexcusable.

Yeah, it looks bad but I don't believe there is a better team sitting at home. The Murtaghs were there, the Smiths were there. Devaney has been busy. Who/how, and why are better players sitting at home? I always had time for Cathal Cregg but remember some Roscommon posters having ago at him when he was in the team.
Really where it all went wrong was last year in the championship. The replay to Galway and loss to Clare. When you lose to Clare by 6 points in July, results from Feb/March in Div.1  don't mean a whit.

I'm tired, sickened and embarrassed.
To think we're paying 2 grand a week for that.
McStay and McHale  need to apologise to the Ros Co Board, the players on and off the panel and the supporters for putting a crowd of unfit unconditioned light gasúns out in Division 1 football.
They've been ate, bet sick and have their confidence and morale shattered by 5 bad defeats out if 6. Point difference now minus 49 ffs!

2 grand a week??? No way. If they were doing it for nothing you'd still be getting ripped of.

Does anybody know, when was the last time kerry played a competitive game in breffni park?

Great point for Cavan today, very encouraging.

That is a super result

Still early days but Matty has put a shape on this side after looking all at sea in the earlier rounds and pulled two performances out of the team against top calibre teams, genuine competitiveness the like of which I'd argue hasn't been seen under any Cavan manager since the days of Martin McHugh's stewardship 20 years ago. If we stay up it'll be incredible. Very good signs now, a long road ahead but hopefully the team keeps developing and can finally deliver something tangible.

We were lucky enough to hold on but that point delays relegation to the last day given that Mayo best that useless shower from Tyrone. I think we need Donegal to beat Mayo, Kerry to draw or win against Tyrone and Cavan to beat Ros. Can't see it happening for Cavan to be honest.

Itchy, I could be wrong but I think you need only one of Kerry or Mayo to lose as if both lose (and Cavan win) it'll go down to scoring difference which would see Cavan down. Like I said, I could be wrong.

[twohands!!!]

If Kerry win they go to 8 points (or draw and got to 7), Mayo lose and stay on 6, Cavan beat Roscommon and go to 6 , it would come down to head-to-head and because Cavan beat Mayo, Cavan would stay up.

If Kerry lose and stay on 6 points, Mayo lose and stay on 6, Cavan beat Roscommon and go to 6, it would go down to scoring difference. Currently it is Kerry 6, Mayo -5 and Cavan -20

At a minimum Cavan need to beat Roscommon and Mayo to lose to Donegal.

There talk Donegal might put out u21s v Mayo se we're gone but at least we put up a fight.
