NFL Division 1 2024

[seafoid]

Thought Galway performed better against Derry but didn't get the breaks whereas yesterday they did. Joyce did say after the game they had targeted the high ball and it certainly paid off. Lots of sloppiness in the play yesterday!

Cunningham definitely took his chance but still think he'll struggle come the summer, he's still got a fair bit to go in the conditioning stakes but 1-3 from 4 attempts is great going. Mulkerrins and Molloy are really struggling, Glynn will surely be back in against Dublin after yesterday.

With all the injuries and after the performance against Mayo Galway have done well to get to 5 points.

Galway had some very nice passages of play yesterday. It was encouraging without most of the big names. Kelly at midfield was an interesting selection.

I made my way down to Kerry from Clare yesterday with my 8 year old daughter for what was a mostly enjoyable day. Nice weather, the Kerry scenery beautiful as always. The game wasn't too bad either bar the Tyrone wides and ref a little whistle happy at times for both teams. Doesn't feel like a bad defeat for Tyrone. A few defensive tweaks in the second half and we were back in it but it was too little, too late. During melee, I was disappointed to hear"shower of kna**ers, always were, always will be"from the row behind me. Middle aged, well dressed man from Kerry with small kids. Not nice to hear and disappointing for all within earshot, Kerry and Tyrone fans alike. I know there's always one but it felt very personal. Could do without it.

Absolutely no one thinking of the children

As I said yday and this confirms it

Clifford started and kept that entire melee going and walks away scott free. One rule for the golden child. One rule for Tyorne.

No mention of the row on TSG. Did Peter Harte get injured in the row?

Row?

A bit of pulling and dragging FFS.

a few gapey necked jerseys was the worse thing to come out of that.

If it wasn't a Row? Then why did 3 players get booked? And why did Clifford the instigator not get booked?

You'd have to ask the referee that, but not one punch thrown, just makey up hard man stuff.

Not being a refereeing aficionado I don't understand how Kilpatrick didn't get the original mark before all the big pushing and shoving took hold.

Was he talking about the kerry team? Must have been since they started the whole thing

So will Beggan be back for the last few rounds of the league? From reading a few things this morning - the Irish lads aren't going to neccessarily find out their fate in the NFL in the next week or two.

Monaghan vs Throne is a huge match. Monaghan have to bate them to stay up. They need to win by at least 15 point. No hassle.

Why 15 points would they not have Tyrone on the head to head then?

Good point. Tyrone are 5/2 for relegation. Might be worth a fiver

It's hard to know how accurate current form is in terms of the championship.
Some teams have definitely dropped focus on the league in order to concentrate on later on.

Yes I'd hold off on any rankings until after the championship. Saying that I would expect Kerry,Derry and Dublin to reach the last four of the championship so long as they don't meet each other in the quarter finals.

I'd say if Galway were to get every fit they'd be as close to Dublin and Kerry as anyone. I don't think anyone bar Dublin have been wildly impressive and even at that they aren't near their golden years teams. Derry obviously been going well but at the end of the day it is only the league.

Kerry and Dublin for sure but Ulster is important in terms of the seeding for the round robin . McGuinness may want to win Ulster...So might McGeeney...


Winning the province is important. Second means second choice in the round robin . Ulster runners up have a 66% chance of drawing either Kerry or Dublin in the RR.  This may mean problems later on if players are injured. Derry need a bit of luck in order  to avoid injuries and fatigue.

What Down do on you. I think they about 11, Division 3 or not.

In a fortnight's time, the All-Ireland champions arrive in Salthill, a prospect that excites Joyce enough to pine for his playing days. Though Galway's home record is notably underwhelming in comparison to their performances on the road.
"
"Sometimes, this team play better when their backs are to the wall. That's our fifth point on the road and we've none at home.
"Maybe the next home game, we might go up and stay in Athlone or something for the night and come back down."

Sure that's true for any team.
