NFL Division 2 - 2020

[Cavan19]

Jasus I shout at the TV all the time...I know it doesn't make sense and the only people that can hear me are the wife and kids calling me an idiot but I can't help myself. Armagh are back training and as someone stated the players will have had a decent few club games over the summer and it shouldn't take the players too long to get back into County mode, I'd say it'll be easier to get fit now that it would be in January especially knowing your two matches away from knockout Championship and I reckon all teams in all divisions have either promotion or relegation to play for. Maybe with one game to go some teams might already know their fate.

I have to be on my own with the TV due to fits of anger and joy exploding out of me.

Is it football or porn you be watching?

Perhaps Cavan football is porn?

Armagh GAA confirm positive Covid-19 results in football squad


A statement from Armagh GAA has confirmed that a number of the county's senior football squad have tested positive for Covid-19.

We are strictly following the GAA and public health advice and as a precautionary measure we have postponed collective training.

"These are difficult times for our communities and Armagh GAA urge all members to follow the public health guidelines."

Armagh are due to face Roscommon in a crucial Allianz League Division 2 clash on Saturday, 17 October, ahead of their final league game away to Clare and their Ulster SFC opener against Derry at Celtic Park on 1 November.

How frequently are squads tested? Before or after every training session or match?

The whole season will be farcical without the kind of testing that professional sports have.

Genoa have had 14 players test positive since their Serie A game with Napoli last week.

It certainly was in the Ulster Semi Final last year thats for sure. The best porn there is.

Looks like we wont have much to talk about for the rest of the year

It's looking like level 3 for all of the ROI. Meaning games can go ahead but behind closed doors. Of course the GAA will have to lift their own temporary ban on matches first.

Ban is only on club games.

Some has to finish their club championships before joining up with their inter County panels.

Armagh have finished theirs, fire ahead!

[FermGael]

Fermanagh have suspended training.  Confirmed cases in the panel.
That's Fermanagh and Armagh in division 2 who are not training.

Fermanagh would be better withdrawing from this years league.
They have a long trip to Clare plus Laois at home.

[Angelo]

There is plenty of time to finish off the league if Championship goes ahead.

I think it's improbable that any side outside of Div 1 will win their provincial Championship and be in the last 4 so with only 2 rounds to go I wouldn't panic about the league.

If I can't drive a few miles to Co Leitrim or a few more to Co Sligo why will people from Covid ravaged Counties be allowed to travel all over the Country to play amateur sport?
Should abandon Inter County at this stage.

They are not going to close the League of Ireland or stop the soccer internationals, so they have made an exception for "elite" sport. This is not entirely unreasonable as these limited teams can be subject to well regulated arrangements that randomers travelling about would not be subject to.

[Rossfan]

Inter County GAA players are amateurs who live/work full time in a  Community same as you or me.
They can't be all isolated in some "bubble" like full time professional sports people
Possibly half the Ros panel are teachers who are in daily close indoor contact with...how many?? people?
Then you have the type of crap you get in Dungarvan.....
