Aye wee Pete has done wonders.  What age is he, seems to have been about forever.

Fermanagh will win this by a couple of points......................or ten.

[twohands!!!]

Armagh 4/9 Fermanagh 9/4 on Paddypower at the moment

For any tempted Fermanagh had 2 wins in Division 2 - against Down and Clare [Down had 2 wins and a draw]

Fermanagh also have the 9 point loss to Monaghan in the first round.

Fermanagh might possibly be worth a wee nibble - but overall it's hard to have much confidence in any of the teams involved at this stage - you can't have any sort of faith that any of them will turn in a performance.

The 12 goals conceded by Fermanagh in the league was the 2nd highest in the league, but they did keep 14-man Monaghan to one major.

[Rossfan]

With all due respects to all the Round 1 teams only the Cavan V Monaghan losers have much hope of reaching a Quarter Final.

From a Carlow point of view, gotta be happy with that draw. It was always likely that we'd be away after beating Wicklow at home in last years 1st round. So London was the best one to get.
Decent side, but after our terrible loss at home to them in the league which ended up costing us promotion we are well warned this time.

Be great to win another game and get 4 championship games, can't remember the last time that happened.
I see Connolly got his 12 week ban today, a pity he didn't get the red card he should have got instead on Sat night at the time. Score was Dub 0-9, Car 0-6, it would have put Dub down to 14 after 45 mins. Instead he stayed on & we went down to 14 and Dublin tapped over points in last few mins.

Looking forward to a night in Garvogue

Wishful thinking,ye wouldn't have beat them if ye were still playing.You have to move the ball forward to get scores.It was a bore fest.

Where did I say we would have beaten them? Obviously they would have won, but it would have been by about 6/7 points rather than 12.
For any team, never mind a Div 4 side that is not bad. Yep we played a negative boring game, but had to be done against the best team.

Against teams of our own level we score plenty, even in 1st round we got 2-17.

Turlough O'Brien has done a great job with Carlow.

Mayo's road to Croke Park is still fairly well laid out

R2:
One of:
Derry/Waterford
Louth/Longford
Laois/Wicklow
Sligo/Antrim

R3:
One of:
Clare
Meath/Kildare
Donegal/Tyrone

R4:
Probably Cork or Roscommon (losing Munster and Connacht finalists)

QF:
Probably Kerry

So unless some other upsets, it's only R3 that Mayo would have any concern over prior to Kerry.
