NFL Division 1 2024

Very interesting numbers. It all goes in long cycles. It's interesting that Galway are going well at the same time. The return of the Armagh

Armagh and Galway have moved into Quarter final territory, it remains to be seen if they can actually win anything.
On the ranking on Boards.ie Armagh are where they were in 2006.

As for numbers, I wonder does the new bank holiday make any difference. I mentioned Mayo people living in Dublin, but perhaps with a bank holiday they go to Mayo for first time in 2023 rather than going to football? Then again, the lack of school or work the next day might make people more willing to have a long drive or perhaps stay somewhere and make a weekend of it.

Galway won first time in 98 but the second iteration took 3 years. Armagh took at least 3 years to get to 2002.
It's early days yet.

There were 21 years between World War 1 and World War 2. We should have had another 3 World wars....

Armagh / Mayo this Sunday will be interesting , let's see if the hype about Armagh is correct or was last year another false dawn.
Was at blayney and thought Armagh were comfortable in the second half but the Mayo/Galway  game was played at a far higher level .

Looking forward to it myself. Would like to think we'll give a good account of ourselves especially at home!

Apart from 10-15 mins at start of 2nd half Armagh were pretty poor, so getting 2 points was a job well done. Mayo a different kettle of fish, Ruane will Lord MF if we line out the same. Hall to the bench, Soupy to HF and an established MFer in there.

Midfield is definitely a concern and has been for a while. Although he sometimes flatters to deceive and hasn't always delivered on his potential, I think Grimley has to slot in there.

Ciaran Mackin was probably our best player or one of them in the league last year and is a massive loss as is Crealey and Oisin O'Neill of course. Take the first 3 choices out of any midfield and it would look light. I'd be confident in Grimley being able to slot in midfield, was excellent a few years back but hasn't really hit those heights since.

Do Armagh have all decent footballers available? Last year Galway didn't because in January nobody was expecting anything.  A few of the prodigals have returned.

In Galway's case that's only really true of one player - Ian Burke.
Peter Cooke was based in the States at the time so it wasn't a runner for him.
Power and McHugh weren't there because Pj dropped them (and McHugh has been dropped again since).

What about Michael Daly and Varley ?

What about them?
Your point was that the prodigals have returned for 2023 because we did well last year.
I'm just saying that Burke is the only one who you can put in that category - Daly & Varley aren't back.
Daly had agreed to come back in with the county last year but suffered a bad knee injury in 2021 and hasnt played since.

Kerry getting scorable free's handed to them here for fun, it's a joke so far

[Nanderson]

What was the hop ball for from Beggans kickout. All players were outside the 21 and the D

[yellowcard]

Kerry's tackling leaves a lot to be desired, they do look fairly average without the 2 Clifford's and O' Shea. Monaghan doing ok so far.

If you're behind your man and he has the ball and is pushed it's a free. Soft hard or whatever

Which free you talking about? The one out on the wing along the 21? Push in the back

[galwayman]

Comer stretchered off in Pearse.
If that's long term we're in bother as it seems Finnerty will be out for a while.

Not good news but on the other hand some fringe forwards will get game time
