NFL Division 2 - 2020

[Captain Obvious]

Very simple solution: make a provision that there is to be no promotion or relegation this year because of the unique circumstances.  Of course this would negatively affect Cork so it's a non runner.

Or they could just scrap this tier 2 nonsense. Problem solved.

Little chance of that happening now after the grey haired men in suits voted it in.

The situation we have right now is that relegation places in division 2 and promotion in 3 will decide who plays in the 2021 Tier 2 championship.

And based on what I've said yes tier 2 would have to be scrapped for next year given the circumstances. There's enough issues without trying to get it going.

GAA are looking into a regional league for 2021 and then a return to the 4 division NFL in 2022.

Yes, sadly.

If this season has taught us anything, it's that the county season is way too long, and has too many meaningless games. Also, a shorter season for county football could mean more lads might be able to commit. Seen rumours of retirees returning to county squads for the upcoming* championship. In other seasons, they had no chance of committing to a years training.

Fermanagh have appealed for a postponement of Sunday's clash with Clare in Ennis. CCC hearing tonight.

[Rossfan]

Should be granted by probably won't as they're not a big County.

Same could be said of club season.  Round-robin and group games in club championship just pad out the season.  This year, there was no need for it at all. A simple league and straight knockout is the way forward for both club and county and cut the bullshit.

As it stands, county season doesn't have any need to be anywhere near as long given that each round of the Ulster Championship is played on separate weekends.  The whole thing could be run off on a much tighter basis.

Most sports want loads of games for players.
But some GAA people want competitions "run off".
Get those pesky games out of the way .....for what?
9 months training?

Agree with the first bit.

Ulster championship was played last year in shorter time though.

Straight knockout for club and county is needed, but that won't bring in the dough.

Any word on how the teams are faring out training wise?, who's fit and who's not. It's all very hush hush

[bennydorano]

Was wondering that myself, any new additions to the Armagh panel?

I had heard last week which Armagh players had the virus and i'm assuming they've done their isolation time but whether or not they're fit is another matter. Haven't heard a peep from the Rossie camp...C'mon give us something (even make it up like)

[Rossfan]

Our lads are atin' well.

Fermanagh postponement request turned down.

What an absolute shower the CCCC is

What an absolute shower the CCCC is

Especially towards the "lesser" counties. The choices now for the Fermanagh it seems are to forfeit the game or make the trip to Ennis to play the fixture with whoever is available.

[FermGael]

Fair play to the CCC.
Played an absolute blinder again.
And good to see the GPA putting their foot down again over player welfare.

That's Fermanagh relegated .
