NFL Division Two 2022

[oakleaflad]

Bad conditions. Cork have been very poor. We've only been marginally better with some bad mistakes too. Derry full back line have been excellent so far.

Big swing there Cork should have had a goal and Derry go straight up the pitch to score our own.

Derry in control.

[An Fhairche Abu]

Derry are hammering all before them in Division Two, impressive stuff.

[screenexile]

Cork are a poor outfit I don't think Derry got out of 2nd gear even we weren't great by any stretch.

You'd think we're safe at this stage thank god!!

[oakleaflad]

Cork really offered nothing. Got a couple soft frees in the second half but didn't look organized at all. Derry could have had another goal or two. Will learn more against the likes of Galway and Roscommon. Be happy enough to stay in Div 2 another year but if promotion can be gained that'd be great. Think we'd maybe struggle in Div1 though.

Roscommon only manage a draw v Clare, poor first half playing with a gale only 1 point up. Still would have definitely taken a draw at half time.

2 draws - Ros v Clare and Down v Meath
Relegation will come down to small margins

[seafoid]

The table shows a clear split from Clare in 4th with 4 points to Cork, Down and Meath with 1 point in 5th, 6th and 7th and Offaly pulling up the rear on 0.

Physically in great shape. Defensively sound with a settled back three who were all outstanding today. Half back line is motoring well with McKindless to come back in. Great to have a settled team atm.
Be very interesting to see how the away games in Clare and Roscommon go. Things looking very bright at the minute.

[seafoid]

Derry have the tougher games to come.

[Wildweasel74]

I think Derry beat Galway at home, not sure, about, Roscommon away. Set up like Donegal did in 2012, when Gallagher was there, very defensive but no Murphy, paddy Mc or McFadden for the required scoring power. Fear we be found out later in the year but their no scoring forwards outside of McGuigan in the county.

[Blowitupref]

Today was example as to why Derry, Galway are favourites for promotion, not taking anything away from Clare a battle hardened side who got a fine away result away today but they are unlikely to gain any points in their matches against Derry and Galway.

The two to fall through the trap door is going to be some scrap and 4 points may be enough to stay up.

Thoughts of Ros for Promotion, Connacht and Sam can be dispensed with after today's 1st half horror show.
A disjointed sideways and backpassing orgy with a gale behind us. Little or no teamwork or brains evident.
2nd half a better show as we defiantly held mighty Clare to 1 point for 25 minutes until Harney got a silly black card.
They hit 3 points while a man up, then we messed up the last attack of the game.
One of our lads ( who shall remain anonymous) in the 2nd half took a 13m free near the sideline, kicked it high up in the air to the 45 into the hands of a Clareman which led to their 8th point.
A draw was probably a fair result overall but Clare players won't win many friends as they exploited a weak rookie Ref with their antics.

Blaming the referee on a draw.  The Sheepstealers bucks not shy to hound referees either.

Cork must have been on the sherberts last night. Abysmal!!!
