Kildare were pushovers this year. Down and Westmeath will be stronger than them and Fermanagh imo.

Think ourselves and Donegal similar level or slightly stronger than Monaghan and Roscommon. Surely Meath won't be as useless as this year, Cavan had been going well up until folding against us and Louth were dealt a big blow losing Harte the way they did so would expect them to be better next year.

No one at the start of the season thought Kildare would be push overs. I think Down and Westmeath will do well to survive in Div2 next year. The bould Clare boys might have something to say about it yet. I know they are missing a few lads from last season but they were a big enough physical team and if it were a dirty day and they put a squeeze on Down its not beyond the realms of possibilities they could win that last game.

Probably on par. Arguably we have a top ten at the moment, the two relegated teams from Div 1 last year Armagh,Donegal have bounced straight back with a game to spare the same could well happen for Monaghan Roscommon/Galway next year.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Standard looks similar but Armagh and Donegal were the most obvious promotion candidates at the beginning of this years League and that is how it transpired. Monaghan and Roscommon might be slight favourites to go back up next year but they could both find this tougher than either Armagh or Donegal as they are probably both 7-12 ranked teams. The rest could all just as easily get relegated to division 3 as be fighting for promotion with Kildare this year being a prime example.

They were the biggest under achievers throughout the entire 4 divisions and only that they have a management team who were among their best ever players, they wouldn't be in charge for championship given the downward spiral they appear to be on.

Strong looking Armagh side for Cork. I hope there'll be plenty of changes before throw in, if not our supposed strength in depth might appear to be a bit of a myth.

We haven't used a lot of this 'depth' so far this year. League wise anyway

Probably a stronger looking bench lol. Would 100% give the 2 O'Neills and the 3 Cullyhanna men a start.

Can't really see anything outside of a Cavan win and a Louth win tonight to settle relegation.

Ultimately , the defeat against Cork has cost us in a game.

There would need to be some sort of reaction to what Louth did to us last weekend or the Ulster Championship game against Armagh could be very messy
Wanted.  Forwards to take frees.
Not fussy.  Any sort of ability will be considered

Cavan missing a lot of important players and few just back from injury. I'd give Fermanagh a decent shot

Fermanagh were a lot tougher than Cavan for us. Plus they've a lot more to play for or do Cavan need to win to avoid the Tailteann?

No TV coverage of the Armagh cork game, is there any radio commentary available?

Is there local radio in the 6 counties? Would they not cover the games?

Yes have the head to head on Fermanagh and better scoring difference. Fermanagh with another goal 2-9 to 0-7 ahead now. Louth three in front.
