NFL Division 1 2024

[Armagh18]

You didn't mention the 2 ridiculous bookings of Cregg and McCormack 
We had a good turn out alright, helped by the Tyrone result.
Should be a big crowd for the Armagh game as they usually get good numbers too.
It's all to play for still though.
But does anyone actually want to win the League?⁸

Is there league finals this year or are they gone? Don't think theres any team bar Kerry and Dublin who could turn their nose up at a league medal tbh. Maybe Tyrone since most of the panel have an all ireland and Mayo who won it not so long ago. Obviously a provincial or an all ireland is top of the priorities list for the likes of yourselves, us and Galway but a league winners medal would still be a big deal!

HQ recommended they should be scrapped due to congested season. Team to finish top of the table awarded the title. That way it would have given every team at least two weeks to prepare for the start of the championship.

Was voted on and was decided to keep league finals. As it stands If Mayo, Roscommon, Armagh were to reach it they'll only have one week to prepare for their championship opener.

Feck the  league then! Utter daft decision.

Last year Ros beat Galway twice in Division 2 . In the regular match and in the D2 final.
Galway beat Ros in the Connacht final. I am sure all thinking Rossies would have swapped
the 2 league wins for the championship bragging rights.

Plus Ros lost to Clare , total mi-adh.

Round 7 league match was a must win for the Rossies to secure promotion, Galway was already promoted.

A league trophy in Croke Park is nice to win however on the evidence of the Connacht final Galway learnt more from losing it than Roscommon did from winning it.

Clare loss brought an end to Anthony Cunningham's time as manager. Under him they were unable to stay up in Division 1 maybe that will change under new manager Davy Burke, good start which is half the battle.  Looks like a bigger battle on Galways hands with just 1 point from two games.

Word is filtering out that Patrick McBrearty could be out for the season after the injury he picked up against Tyrone.

FFS.

So from last years starting six we'll be down the O'Donnell brothers, Murphy, and now McBrearty.

Oisin Gallen better stay fit!

Maybe there should be a separate all Ireland for all the injured players

Thats terrible luck and a lot of Donegal's scoring threat away. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

Armagh v Rosscommon is a massive game for these two teams as the winner is safe in the division. Armagh not really been playing well with two wee 10 min spurts in each of their two games. Rossies I feel were lucky enough against Tyrone and Galway game were rank rotten so both teams are sitting at the top not really having clicked into gear yet.
I'd imagine this will be a high scoring game which should be close at the end

Depends on nature of the hamstring injury

"Patrick McBrearty had to be taken off the field with what was very evidently a hamstring injury in Omagh last Sunday week. All it is, he's being medically assessed at the moment . . . there's nothing more than that," Paddy Carr told the Irish Independent.

Hard to believe the last division one game between the two was a relegated play off and now its a top of the table clash.

Don't think five points will be enough for safety however it will go long way towards it. Can imagine all teams have stepped up on training in the mini break and fade outs in between those10 minute spurts will be one area worked on for Armagh.

and time before that was to top division 2. Looking forward to it, always exciting games between ourselves and the Rossies

David Clifford, Seánie Shea will come back into Kerry panel for Saturday night according to informed sources. Neither may start but should spice things up anyway. Would anticipate a few changes such as Shane Ryan in goals, Paudie Clifford starting and maybe more aswell. Should be a good game.
