Looks very much as though the current bottom two will end up being the bottom two at the end. Fermanagh are missing too many players and Roscommon just don't have the stuff to be competitive in Division 3 at this point in time.

Roscommon been competitive is not the problem, last three game proves that! but lack of confidence, leaders & experience is why where heading to Div 4

We need others to lose 3 games & us to win 3 that's not going to happen

...and is why you're not competitive in Division 3. I mean over the course of a season rather than individual games - you have to win a few to be classed as competitive within the division.

Sligo 0-12 Offaly 0-11

Poor game, poor ref, right result.

Honestly Kevin Walsh is not the manager the galway lads think he is. His naivity and blindness will handicap us big time this yr. Several players not good enough for intercounty on 15 and subs are poor and I blame Walsh for that. Theres alot more in Sligo but alot of work still to be done. We should of been a few points more ahead at the end but poor wides let us down.

Home against Cavan next. I would say Sligo not good enough to get promotion but probably just about stay in the division.

Your right the Connacht championship is poor this yr with none of us going to make much an impact outside the province. Mayo and Galway being in div1 makes no difference, both will be poor enough come championship.

You don't necessasrily have to win games to be competitiive

i think Ross4life means their competitive in this division but they lack that little more to pull out a win

just ask fermanagh Cavan and Antrim today whether they were competitive in the games they played


Just like us last season......we just could not win the tight games but we were competitive, we got through it and stayed up
Thats why i think Roscommon will do it
will to win is important the will to prepare to win is vital

ross4life

yup spot on Mattockranger but one look at the Table & you can see the Rossies are already doomed!

Have Louth played Wexford yet?

Antrim look favourites at the minute but could be the 3 hardest games to come in Louth, Offaly and Wexford. Louth not being talked about much but could still get promoted.

Very tight division - anyone's guess who'll take the promotion spots at the minute.

Louth beat Wexford in Drogheda in the first round and nearly blew it!!

Brewster park is a very nice ground and easy to get to (cheers lads) but they don't have a team to grace it at the moment. In a game that lacked intensity and saw Louth lose two top players to injury in the first half it wasn't until Fermanagh went down to 14 in the second half that we really pushed on. In fairness there was some good displays and we were full value for the win. It was a real division 3 match (standard of football) and Fermanagh seem to be struggling badly at the moment. IF we can beat a struggling Rossies side in Drogheda next week we have a real chance of picking up that second place in the division (Antrim should be nailed on for top spot)

A certain internet tipster got his bet on Fermanagh badly wrong, good thing it was only a 1 pt recommendation  :D

Delighted with Cavan last night,Tommy Carr has to get credit,as hes taken a battering on the Cavan thread by all, in the last few weeks.
It would be interesting to k now what Cavan team will emerge in Sligo,Last nights/Rosscommon game one or the one against Antrim/Louth.
it would save me petrol money and the 10 Euros in to know!!!

I'll grant you that one, but in fairness if you were following this weekend you'd have done okay. Had a good cut off Tipp myself so managed to still emerge in the black despite backing Fermanagh and the Galway hurlers.
