NFL Division 1 2024

[JoG2]

Derry have a right good chance at winning the All Ireland this summer. Serious momentum from back to back Ulster titles and All Ireland semi final appearances and Glen winning the club top honour.  Were about 10% off last year and the appointment of Mickey Harte could prove a very good one.

Lets wait and see. I suspect that Dublin are still a bit ahead of them (and everybody else for that matter) particularly in the attacking department. Next week, despite it only being a League final, is a hugely significant game for Derry. If they can win that then it would be another big breakthrough for them and will give them the belief that they can compete to win Sam this year. 

Dublin playing too good too soon, they paced themselves last year and were in top shape for the All Ireland Quarter final.  Don't think the league final will count for a lot come championship time belief is already there for Derry.

Ah here we go again... Too good too soon (insert green bokey emoji from WhatsApp) . Maybe, just maybe this is the level this version of Dublin play at. What happens when a few of the big hitters are back starting, will they regress??

Why do Dublin get 5 out of 8 Home games in the League?

Dublin are ahead of everyone at the minute,  that's probably obvious enough. Tyrone aren't as shite as that scoreline makes them look.

Absolutely, on both counts.

Dublin have been ahead of everyone for the last 7,358,400 minutes.

Read nothing into it, that always the forming line when a team hammered.  Tyrone aren't near to the level of Dublin. I read plenty into it.

Didn't see the game today though in the recent past I've seen Tyrone get positive results against Dublin in the league. A trimming like today's 21-point demolition usual happens when the opposition drops the heads making it easy to clock up a big score against them.    Dublin five wins in a row after losing their two opening games. Before today they won by a margin 7,10,5,8 points I was not expecting them to clock a margin of victory like that until the leinster championship.

Some achievement by Dublin, promoted from Division 2 and then follow up with a league final. I didn't see that coming and thought they'd be a team in transition for four or five years.

Was at the game today, no oneis going to touch the Dubs in this years AI race, imo.

[Lamh Dhearg Alba]

Mickey Harte absolutely wants to win it!

Agree - Tyrone won their first NFL in Mickey's first year in charge, 2002, which was proceeded by winning Sam the next year...

Mickey will want to win the league this year without doubt but the 2002 league was won by Art and Eugene. Mickey made a successful defence of it in his first year in 2003.

Bizarre to see people linking that grim Tyrone defeat today to winning the AI 3 years ago 😂. That team had been contending for years with 3 provincial titles, 1 AI final defeat and a number of semi-final appearances. Had a great summer and deserved their AI. Unfortunately never got back to those heights and now very much in transition, but still stayed in Division 1 with an awful lot of young players coming through. The concern is that even allowing for those new players they shouldn't be losing like that. Management have a bit of work to do to prove they are the right team to work with the talent coming through.

Goodbye Division 1.
If only games lasted 40 minutes...

[Wildweasel74]

Enda Smith. Great player, love to have him in our team.

Sad to see ye go. Beidh aris ann. I hope that ye get further than last year in the championship. I hope we can too.

Dublin were just taking a break to let the divide the county in 2 talk die down. They'll wrap up the next 3 and then throw the rest of us a bone for a year or two to keep up appearances.

In reality, Derry and Kerry are the only two who can foster any hope against them. The rest of us are just making up numbers. I'm glad we stole that Covid AI now, takes the bad look of us.

Dublin are well ahead of the rest at the minute, but tyrone made them look even better.
Tyrone were brutal.
Nothing going forward at all, pot shots at best. No creativity at all.
Dublin could have scored another 4 ot 5 goals but for morgan.
The speed they attack with is awesome, the kicking game really worked, but tyrone defense was very naieve and slow.

Maybe if tyrone had everyone fit and able they'd do better, but that was shambolic today.

Hopefully Derry put it up to them, a loss wouldn't be the end if the world but really need to be competitive.

Just wondering!
Were you at the game or did you see a recording of it?
If you did is it available somewhere?

Galway full out can give them a game but not sure that will happen
