NFL Division 1 2024

[imtommygunn]

Tbh I'm not convinced SF watches much football at times so I dunno the point of debating that stuff.

Some great games this weekend. Monaghan Roscommon (despite dublin kerry being on) is the big one for me in division one. I think Roscommon will take them as I think Monaghan too inexperienced without a lot of the big hitters and Beggan. It's definitely the one with most at stake. Anyone sitting on two points after 3 games is right in it so wins a must. I imagine it likely Dublin or Kerry would be fine even if they lose this weekend. Galway / Tyrone probably need to win to not be sucked in and Monaghan Roscommon must win for either.

Seafoid, you have talked some crap the past two or three pages, do you just make shit up to suit your post? Not much substance

Away to Galway this weekend but can't see a win, our record against Galway is terrible, even when they had a bad team.Derry focus on winning their last 2 home games. Dublin may be tough if they need the points.

With Tierney and Conroy now out there's a fair argument to say that Galway's 7 most important players all won't be starting. 6 out injured for god knows how long and 1 (Kelly) will be on the bench. Ive never really known a situation like it

I wouldn't give them a prayer v Derry this weekend. Boyles went up 4/6 Derry which was an uber c**k up. Now 2/5 which is a little more correct but still a couple of notches too big. The only levelling factor I could envisage is a huge wind in salthill (not uncommon) and Derry not getting to grips with it

Plenty of strong winds up around Owenbeg and Celtic Park 

It's a factor yes but I don't think it is any big one. It's the same for both teams at the end of the day and Derry can easily adapt to playing against a wind with their strong running game.

Cheers shawshank. Join the back of the queue. You aren't the first person to tell me that.

And I think he may be correct.

I would be very surprised if Derry don't win comfortably on Sunday. Yes, they nearly always lose to Galway but Derry are flying with a full team out at the moment while Galway are pretty much down to an FBD league selection. I'm hoping they can somehow keep it competitive for as long as possible.

Yeah. Galway would give them their fill of it with a full deck it'd be hard to call, but given who they're missing you'd be shocked if Derry don't win well surely.

There is nothing like a proper match to bring players on . Derry should win comfortably unless Galway click

Galway at home.
Derry will probably be missing Lynch, McKinless and Murphy.
This Derry team are in unfamiliar territory in Div1 going up against a team that have the Div1 experience and who generally always beat us.
It's a 50:50 game boys and girls.

I even heard the team bus has a soft wheel.....what else could go wrong for us!   

In all seriousness, given where we've come from, I don't think any Derry fans are overly confident of any game. We've been beaten so many times in games where we should have won.
I agree, on current form we are favourites for this game - but Galway are no slouches and we are no world beaters (despite the performance against Monaghan last weekend).
There's not the vast chasm between the two that some seem to suggest there is.

Yep, I don't mean it'll suit either team, ive seen Galway fail to get to grips with a wind countless times. I just mean it puts a randomness factor into the game which could help the underdog.

If this was played on a dry calm day id see Derry winning by 6-10 points. That's the reality of where the two teams are at at this stage of the year and injury situations

I know Derry see Galway as their bogey team over the years but this weekend Galway will be without Damien Comer,Shane Walsh, Jack Glynn,Liam Silke,Cillian McDaid and Matthew Tierney, Paul Conroy very doubtful after going off injured last weekend. So if Derry aren't able to win against Galway team without that amount of first choice players then they'll probably never beat the bogey.

[imtommygunn]

Derry are firm favourites let's be honest.

Just a couple more years trying Aidan O'Shea at FF. It'll come good eventually.

The forecast is for a NW wind, rather than one coming off the sea and showers
