NFL Division Three 2024

[grounded]

You get the feeling the two teams winning by big margins today will top the table. Antrim definitely don't deserve to have no points. The visit to Thurles is a huge game for them next day. I'm not sure whats happening to Longford at the minute. They are away to Cavan next day so it aint getting any easier for them.
       Offaly , Fermanagh and Down probably at a similar level to each other. I expect another close game against Fermanagh for Down the next day, though Down are scoring heavily and have found goals easier to get.
      Offaly have to face Westmeath in Mullingar the next day. Hard to call that one.

I will never endure a worse 38 minutes of "football" than what I witnessed today.

4 scores . 1-1 to 1-1 at half time .

Will somebody think of the children .
Awful stuff.

Second half was a bit better but it couldn't have been much more.

Offaly won it with a point in the last kick of the game .

But Jesus that was a hard watch

How was it so bad? I thought there was something wrong with Score Beo app when I was following!

Really disappointing to be 1 up with 5 to go and get nothing out of it. How did we get on overall and who done well for us?

😂 What a difference a few weeks makes. I imagine it'll be a fired up Longford coming to Breffni in 2 weeks

I think Saturday evening was a wake up call for a lot of Down supporters, including myself. On reflection our poor 2nd half performance v Tipp came when McPartland was sent off, and on Saturday evening Laverty reshuffled the defence a bit and left McPartland on the bench. He was introduced before ht shortly after Antrims 2nd goal. I think Laverty will have learnt a lot from this game. Barry O'Hagan going off was a huge loss and no word as of yet how serious his injury is.

Antrim were definitely better than many had given credit and their goalkeeper, chf and ff in particular stood out. They play Tipp next and I'd fancy them to sneak it despite the game being in Thurles.

Cavan I'd assume are favourites for promotion and on paper their next game v Longford, in Breffini is the easiest to call. Still it's a local Derby but it would be a shock if Cavan didn't collect 2 points.

Down away to Fermanagh is a tough game for us. At half time v offaly the score was 1-01 -1-01, so I'm assuming Fermanagh set up very defensive. Odhran Murdocks ability to kick scores from distance could be key to us sneaking 2 points. We hopefully can create enough scoring opportunities early on so Fermanagh are chasing Down rather than them defending a lead.

Westmeath v Offaly is another derby game and very hard to call. I haven't seen either of these teams yet either. 50/50 game.

Looks like Fermanagh v Down will be switched to Ederney.
Brewster still not available.

Still likely to be 1pm?

Odds for weekend, home draw away.

Tipp v Antrim   11/10   13/2   EVS
Fermanagh v Down   6/4   13/2   8/11
Cavan v Longford   1/8   14/1   11/2
WMeath V Offaly   8/13   13/2   7/4

[Look-Up!]

Very difficult games to call this weekend. Plus with coming back from break, you often see a big change in form. Cavan Longford maybe the most clear cut, bookies seem to think so anyway, but it's a derby and Longford are desperate. Offaly possibly the best value at 7/4.

Tipp v Antrim : I'm going to go with Antrim on the road here. Haven't performed too badly so far plus Tipp missing talisman. Won't be much in it either way.
Fermanagh v Down : Very tight call. Going with Down because they're general favourite but not convinced. I actually like the odds on Ernemen.
Cavan v Longford : Have to go with Cavan here. Form points only one way. Longford need the points badly but 4 times out of 5 it's Cavan with a few to spare.
WMeath v Offaly : Interesting clash. Westmeath will be eyeing promotion and destroyed Longford last day out. Offaly steady so far and promotion too a realistic target. Young team who were bullied and maybe noses rubbed in it a bit when these two last met in TC. Could use that as extra motivation. Expect feisty midlands derby and going with Offaly because I like odds and have bigged them up from the start.

Good win for Antrim against Tipp 1-19 to 0-14

Super win for Antrim and vitally important to stay up. I was really impressed with them against Down the last day and they were unlucky not to win. Tipp look set for the drop.

Hope to see a good crowd in Breffni today.

A shock is on the cards - I can feel it in me waters. Longford 11/2 for the win so I am off to put a few bob on us.

Or else I am beginning to get trouble 'down below'

There was a decent crowd at the Tipp game and no one from Tipp was there so if ye bring a few it might be a good atmosphere
