2018 NFL Division 1

was ciaran mc donald the greatest mayo player in history?

Ever heard of Sean Flanagan?

Christ you are stupid

Not sure are you calling Syferus or southtyrone gael stupid? Sean Flanagan that played for Mayo 67 years ago hardly a household name with young people in Tyrone all the same no more than Iggy Jones is in Mayo...

He was on both the Team of the Century and the Team of the Millennium, we're not exactly talking obscure or local names here. If you're signed up to GAABoard you're pretty likely to at least have an idea of the all-time greats.

Ive heard of him but many young ones haven't. Team of the Millenium was near 20 years ago ffs! It was near 70 years ago... you'd have to be about 80 to remember him playing :  0

Is there anything to be said about the actual matches on this weekend lads?

Is there anything to be said about the actual matches on this weekend lads?

I don't see Kevin making wholesale changes for this one, I think he'll probably do that in the Kildare game and try to keep a few key lads fresh for the league final.  Need to start much better than we did last weekend, that first 35 mins were our poorest to date in the league.  The Dubs are blowing away teams at there ease right now so it will require a big effort to even get within a few points of them.

Hard to know what to say these days when a team is named the day before a match and there are one or two changes to it on the day.

Out of interest in the 5 NFL games how many same starters have Galway had so far?

For this weekend games

Galway v Dublin - Dublin by 4 or 5 points
Mayo v Tyrone - a Draw
Monaghan v Donegal - Monaghan by 1 or 2 points
Kerry v Kildare - Kerry by 3 or 4 points

I think those set of results would mean that Donegal and Kildare would be relegated with one round of games to play.

Hard to know what to say these days when a team is named the day before a match and there are one or two changes to it on the day.

You can say that the team named today was the team who really started the game contrary to the team who was named the last day, contrary to the team named to play and more than likely won't be the team to start tomorrow. (I think!)
