NFL Divsion 2 2017

Sad state of affairs in down at the minute, what the feck is going on??

Ht Clare 2-07 Down 0-03

This might be crazy, but do Clare not currently have much better footballers than Down? Down certainly don't have any player at Gary Brennan's level, or a forward of the quality of Eoin Cleary. Clare are better than decent.

Yes they do. Clare just better. Not a shock

Galway are motoring. Kildare beating Cork. And Meat need to perk up.

Derry 0-06
Meath 0-04

Half time. Meath shooting is poor. Cillian O'Sullivan needs to learn how to keep his shots down. He's great at making chances but doesn't make them count.

We have the wind so fingers crossed

Great turnaround by Galway in the second half, good to get out of Brewster with the points.

[GalwayBayBoy]

Some turnaround in Brewster Park. Galway down by 4 at the break, win by 6 in the end. The beahst with the goal.

I thought Fermanagh would win that match. 2 super points

Kildare very comfortable winners against Cork, would have been a proper hammering if it wasn't Cormac Reilly in charge.
Cork looked very limited and were unable to cope with pacy Kildare forwards while Kevin Feely dominated them in midfield. Colm O'Neill was kept very quiet.

Only February but there are clear signs of progress under Cian O'Neill and Ronan Sweeney is proving himself a proper presence on the sideline.

Daniel Flynn scored an excellent goal that was disallowed for a supposed double hop outside the 45. It seemed a strange decision as play was allowed continue while he carried the ball 40 yards and scored and it was after the kick out was taken before the linesman called Reilly over to tell him to overrule it.

Derry away will be another tough one but hopefully this good form continues.

FT in Navan.
Meath 3-15
Derry 0-08

Some turnaround. Was that by and large the same team that lined out against Kildare?

[Kuwabatake Sanjuro]

Good to see Meath performing well as it franks Kildare's form. From the reports on Radio 1 it sounded like Cillian O'Sullivan did a lot of harm.

More of a general point rather than the specific scoreline in Ennis.

Meath scored 3-11 in the 2nd half, Derry got 2 points. 

Anyone know what happened in the 2nd half?

A comment on Cormac Reilly from the PRoC forum that proves I'm not paranoid when it comes to him shafting Kildare:

"You sort of get the feeling that Cork are only sending out a team these days because they have to. Deeply depressing, Kildare should have won by more. Our goal was spawny as f**k and they should have had another 2 at least. Cormac Reilly gave us all the 50-50s, most of the 60-40s and even a few of he 70-30s. He rode Kildare in all fairness but even he couldn't help us."

I thought he was finished as an intercounty referee but he somehow wormed his way back in.

[Donnellys Hollow]

That assessment of Reilly's performance is being kind to him.
