Wouldnt expect offaly to beat westmeath and i think we beat sligo! About time the championship team was starting to form as i havent a clue! Rather move cassidy to midfield and start mcguigan along lynch up front with possible tallon too

Tallon has opted out of the panel I have been reliably informed

Well. That's that, then.

At least the slaughtneil boys will be back for our 2 championship matches. That was a good plan.

It might have been the only plan McErlain had. 3 more goals today.

2015 Division 1 Final
2016 Relegated from division 1
2017 Relegated from division 2
2018 Relegated from division 3

One sad, sad day. I guess the only way from here is up ...

Scored the most goals in the division.

Conceded the most goals in the division.

I think it's clear where the issues lie. It's possible to score well with a youthful, speedy forward line, but you aren't going to go too far without some experience and maturity in defence. Yes, Rogers and Chrissy immediately make a huge difference in there, but it's worrying that we're relying on two specific men to come back.

Onwards and upwards - it can't get any worse now...

All time low.

Very depressing. Hard to see a way back to the top table unless the best players in the county commit to our senior team we will have to get used to mediocrity or worse.

We must have the worst county board in Ireland.

Utterly depressing. Not meaning to signal anyone out but some of our more experienced players hit 3 wides in the closing minutes today. Even our experienced players have little experience of winning!

To be fair - McEralin sounds totally shattered in an interview on BBC -

I actually think we were the top scorers across all the leagues. Does t do any good when the whole team switches off and concede silly silly scores. I was fairly optimistic about next season had we stayed up, we have showed some really good football at times this season and the only game we were really totally out of was the Longford game. But now I'm division four I wonder what players will even commit to play.

I think you have hit the nail on the head. Who wants the total commitment of a county football lifestyle playing in Division 4?
