NFL Division 2 2015

syf we are top eight at least, just accept it, it wont weigh that heavy on our shoulders, we have players that can win tight matches and pull out the stops when it matters, remember some of those u21 players have played 7 competitive games in 28 days, pro sportsmen would not be asked to do that, it has been one hell of a weekend for us rossies, if they want to tell us we are the no 1 team in the land agree with them, if they want to take the piss let them, we have reached div 1 and an all-ire u21 semi final, it really is a Rossie easter rising.

No harm to the Rossies. But Meath should be up instead. +8 better off. The sooner that stupid head to head rule is scrapped the better.

It's not stupid. Two teams level - "who won the game between them?" - very logical. Score difference can be totally skewed by some team fielding a B side in the last round of the League.

Mind would you choke on your cake there Benny, Sligo hammered ye today, would they have hammered ye if ye needed to win, what would that do to Sligos score diff, now who is being stupid?

It should be who was best over 7 games, not one. Not only that, but had another team finished on 9 points too, Meath would have gone up, not Roscommon. Daft rule.

We had promotion secured. It was the manager choice to make changes. He had the right to do exactly what he wanted, because he earned it by putting points on the board. It mightn't have been pretty, but that's not the point.

Benny yer talking shire.

So, Chelsea have a +60 better goal diff than Arsenal. But Arsenal flukes a 1-0 win against Chelsea on the first day of the season. Both finish level on points but Arsenal win the league because of that win. 38 games, but it's decided on a flukey win. Maybe with a penalty that shouldn't have been, a poor ref decision. Is it right that a league is decided on something like that?

[Itchy]

Chelsea. Never mind that shire.

Benny give up while you are behind, you wont catch up, quoting premiership here def wont help your cause, maybe try watching cricket or rugby, plenty of scores to count there, or like us rossies try counting sheep.

2003 Division  wasn't the same as there were 16 teams in D 1 in 2 Sections.
I think I read on stolensheep it was 1992 ??
Ross4life might tell us as he seems to have a lot of facts.

From what i recall it was Div 1A and Div 1B but Div 1B was more like div 2. Only difference was the top two in each group fared off against each other in the semi final e.g if same happened this year it would have been.

Cork v Down
Dublin v Roscommon.
-----------------------

Big congrats to all our players and management no more than a hard working and talented Roscommon senior panel deserve. We were unlucky when we relegated from div 1 2003 on 6 points its been a long and hard road back so hopefully we can hold our own in the top division next year.

Well done Roscommon and goodluck in Division 1, Westmeath manager fairly took into the players afterwards http://t.co/Hg16XhyAcb

[Rossfan]

He'd be better keeping those comment " in house".
R4life those Diva 1A& B were of equal status and were randomly drawn the first year (1998-99).

Nothing good can come from doing that.

It is. That's exactly what they do in Spain.
