Sorry - meant to post this in the other thread

HT

Sligo 0-6
Wicklow 0-4

I understand but you must get your picks in before 2 on this Sunday.

The spreads will not change...


YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.......................

Obviously the game against Wicklow is huge.  No easy task taking on a rejuvenated Wicklow team with Micko at the helm.  I think this will be a true test for this team.  If we can grind out a win, then obvioulsy the rewards are many in terms of Div 3 next year, the backdoor, team confidence etc..

I listened to Tommy Brehony's interview after the game yesterday and he said that this is essentially a championship game.  We control our own destiny and have a good chance on Sunday but we need to keep O'Hara on the field, stop the sloppy passing  and stop taking mid game "siestas".

What spread would ye put on the Wicklow game?

I'm only doing the football spreads...

If some posts what the hurling spreads should be - I'll try and get them in tomorrow..

Tis fixed

I've updated everyones picks..

This is the last time as it probably has sent out a sight of emails

sorry in advance if it has

I've posted the spreads for week 5.

MacHinery et al - did anyone update your picks?

On a separate note, how did Summerhill do this weekend?  I can't find the result anywhere...

For what it's worth here's my opinion...

Yes, no doubt the refereeing was terrible.  I listened to the game on radio and the commentators were in total disbelief at some of the decisions.  Granted I was listening to Ocean FM so it could have been biased.

On a more serious note however it seemed to be more of the same from Sligo, valiant defensive effort only to be wasted by either midfield or forwards giving away easy posession.  Regardless of the ref, we need to take a hard look at why we are struggling to score.  I may be wrong but I think we only have one goal so far and that is from a penalty which is shocking....

I still think this team has potential but we have too many players that drift in and out of games and O'Hara is one of them.  We seem to lack the killer instinct, but I have faith in Tommy Brehony and I know he has a good head for the game and his heart is fully behind this team. 

It looks like it's going to come down to our last game with Wicklow to see who makes fourth place in the division. Playing Wexford away is a tough assignment but I'm hoping we continue to improve and start to play smarter football than we have been doing.

Seanie or Sligonian, I'd love to see how ye rate the players from one to 10......

As for the ref, I think everyone can understand how Sligo fans can despise what he has done to us in both this match and the Westmeath game, whether it was intentional or not.  We have to learn to deal with it however and we have to find the net more often........

Just a reminder that the spreads for week four of the NFL are now posted. It closes at 1 on Saturday

Any game that has been postponed will be updated when the game has been played..

Listened to the game yesterday and agree with your comments.

On face value people would say that it's pathetic that we are happy to beat Waterford by 3 points at home.  This Waterford team is no longer the whipping boys of the league and full credit to them.  When you factor in the rejuvenated Waterford team, the dismissal of O'Hara and the injuries, I think we can all be happy with the results especially since it was level with 10 minutes to go.

Harrison had a fantastic game yesterday, as did Sweeney and Kivlehan.  Kelly's speed caused all kinds of problems for the Waterford defence and they resorted to putting two markers on him.  Some of the older lads were very poor yesterday and I hate to say it Seanie but McPartland seem to have an awful outing, missed an open goal and lost posession easily or got bottled up.  Same applies to Davey and Egan apart from the last few minutes.  I have no doubt all three of these lads will improve.
I was surpised that he did not introduce Curran, as we could have done with his workrate when the chips were down midway through the second half. 
Did Mcnamara tear the hamstring?  Hopefully not as he seemed to be doing well for the few minutes he was on.

I think we can beat Meath at home as they have struggled against Cavan and Antrim and we always play them tough.  Did O'Hara get a red or was it two yellows?

Very impressed with the number of entries.

Over 220 already for week 2

You won't be getting an e-mail until Dicky fixes the problem so I thought it would be fair to post it here and let ye all know.

Good luck again
