Louth v Ros moved to Drogheda due to storm damage in Ardee.

Beating Cavan on their own turf doesn't hold much currency these days, Bannigan's Babes have drifted out in the NFL2 betting to 4/1.

If Down want any chance of getting promoted or even staying afloat in Div 2 they should just filed as Kilcoo. the new rules suit us down to a tee. Seen last week in that awful display only man worth anytrhing was ryan mcevoy. Imagine you add the johnstons and even Dabs into that. Only then will i have any hope for us.

Ive followed down for as long as i can remember and have had some of the fondest memories of my life on big days out in ulster championship. I remember watching ambrose rogers in 1981 tearing armagh apart in irvinestown one of the greatest individual performances ive seen. Dont question my integrety or cluture on this county of mine!!

Rory Gallagher got some good plans for the new rules has he?

How do the new rules suit the Down team?

I think the tap and go suits the majority of Down players, I don't think we have the calibre of forward (bar Havern) to take advantage of the new rules in comparison to a lot of counties.

From watching last week's game, there are a lot more long kick outs and invariably more breaking ball, which Roscommon definitely benefited more from.

Overall, I think there are plenty of counties whose players are more suited to the new rules than Down. But we'll just have to get on with it.

Down rolled the sleeves up to get over Cork today. Cork capitalised on a lot of Down errors early on and opened up a big lead but Down showed a bit of character to come back and get the win.

What was the breakdown of scoring? As in, many 2 point scores? There seems to be some decent scores being racked up across all divisions without needing the 2 pointers. Maybe worth keeping the 2 point efforts from play only.

Most of the Down players are incapable of catching a high ball from the new longer kickouts.They arent great at kicking it either...well apart from kicking it backwards. Also they arent able to defend one on one so as the smarter teams start to use the long quick pass more out of defence Down will be exposed

Doesn't say much for Cork then. We're you at thr game or did you get all that info from snippets on rte 1.

Wasnt at the game but saw Down on tv last weeekend and that was enough. Modern football at its worst. I dont rate Cork either
