Exactly. Are my scores from play 2 tap overs from 13 metres, and a fist over the bar from 10 metres, whereas my three frees from 30-45 metres out near the sideline (2 of which I won myself)? There are so many variables with scoring, just quoting scores from play, versus those from frees, doesn't tell you the whole story (and sometimes nowhere close to it).

This is a ranking on Boards.ie based on FIFA ranking calculations. It suggests that Monaghan and Roscommon are for Div 2 and Kildare for Div 3. If you wonder why Armagh are higher than Donegal, this reflects last summer when Armagh were unbeaten and Donegal were beaten. It does not count penalties.



A lot of people seem to forget this but Armagh were beaten by Tyrone last summer.

Yeah in fairness to McGuigan he wins an awful lot of his own frees as well from what I see.

Some top forwards in the country at the minute despite what some naysayers would have you believe- Con, Clifford, Canavan and McGuigan to name a few standing out at the minute. Obviously others as well plus the likes of Comer and Walsh out at the minute who are top drawer as well. Hoping we can get the 2 O'Neills motoring this year as they've the talent to be putting up big scores as well.

Indeed, an event best forgotten.

And relegated by Tyrone a few months prior to that.

Tyrone seem to be more organised now and Monaghan have looked disjointed in the last 2 matches so a Tyrone win looks more likely.

Monaghan get long years of service from their best players. Corey, McManus, Hughes etc put in shifts over 15 years  Monaghan and Ros are the top tier counties with the smallest populations so they can't really fire on all cylinders from January to July.  I think the league this year is a consequence of the split season.

If the all Ireland was just knockout Monaghan could even have won one in recent years.

Mayo resting 10 first choice players for the Monaghan game in round seven played as much a part if not more in Armagh's relegation last year.

Didn't help but we deserved to be relegated. Shouldn't have had to rely on other results.

That makes total sense... why would you blame another team for your own relegation.

Was unfortunate that Mayo had nothing to play for that day because Monaghan likely wouldn't have beat them otherwise but yeah it was in our hands- we blew enough tight games.

Surprisingly haven't had any problems at any of our home matches this year, I find the foyle road/brandywell the best place, short walk and usually get away quickly as it's next to the old bridge and away
