That table looks wrong.

[SLIGONIAN]

Well Done Sligo today, very promising performance, im delighted today. The level of performance Cavan put up against us was far superior to wexford and offaly so for our lads to out match them credit to us. Some great stuff played today and its in us, we just got  to keep it going.

We need to beat Sligo to have any chance. Apparently our defence played quite well today but the same old problems up front. We just can't score. I can't remember the last time we put up a big score. We have a shocking record in Breffni Park so we're really up against it now.

How many points would keep a team up? Would 6 points even be enough?

Disappointing day today

We are poor side....in all areas....

forward movement-team selection-tactics-defensively-breaking ball-support play

enjoyed looking at Roscommon they done all of the above well.....
but missed a lot in score-able positions due to lack of confidence...they could and should have won by more!

6 could..............

we will definitely not win away to Antrim with all the galls men back....and Offaly in Fortress Tullamore

so could be us, Fermanagh, Cavan, Roscommon and maybe wexford all on 6

Score difference??

[ross4life]

look's like the fermanagh game will get us relegated & to think all that was needed was for the ball to be kicked out of play 

but i'm hoping & expecting us to finish the league with 3 wins

[heineken_on_tap]

Just great to get some points on the table at last, badly needed for confidence. Still reckon we will be playing division 4 next year but say ye will be ok mattockranger, my own opinion is Cavan may be in trouble as well.

Two massive games ahead of us now.

[boro]

Antrim        5 4 0 1 19 8
Louth         5 3 0 2 11 6
Wexford      5 3 0 2 4 6
Offaly          5 3 0 2 3 6
Sligo            5 3 0 2 -3 6
Cavan          5 2 0 3 3 4
Roscommon 5 1 0 4 -16 2
fermanagh   5 1 0 4 -19 2

I reckon Wexford will finish on 8 points and will be depending on other results to go our way to get promoted. Not confident of beating the Rossies next week but think we will get a result against Antrim at home. Tis going to be an exciting few weeks anyway

[Rossfan]

We managed a win at last but by God did we do our best to maintain our losing streak with awful wide after awful wide.
Thankfully Claffey earned his free lunch anyway just like he did last March at the same venue with vital saves.
Unfortunately it's hard to see us stay up even if we win our last 2 games as our score difference is awful thanks to that second half shocker against Tommy Truck's lot.
Not much support for the Louth team as even ye're little standeen wasnt full and there were nearly as many of us in it as Louth folk.

[AZOffaly]

Big result for Offaly that one. Tullamore has been good to us in the last few years. If we could pick up a win in Cavan next week, we'd have a good chance of promotion, which would be a huge thing for this team.

I'm delighted it was a tight one that we won with almost the last kick of the game, too often we've been blowing the tight ones, and Wexford and Sligo away were another two, but Fermanagh, Roscommon and Antrim were all close games, so it's great to start winning our fair shar of them.

Hopefully this is the start of a decent year for Offaly, with a proper approach to the Qualifiers if and when we land in them, but if we continue winning these games, notwithstanding the fact that it is division 3, we'll quietly fancy ourselves against Meath.

God I feel for Cavan, having to go to places like Sligo and Roscommon must kill a blue blood county like that. Down with the domestiques of Gaelic football and only Offaly to keep them company. Hopefully both will escape the hell of division three football and get up amid the class they really belong to. Next year Ros and Sligo will be travelling to far away places like London and Kilkenny.

Whats wrong with that?
Get a bit of a break in london long weekend with the lads and a win followed by bringing the missus for a another long weekend in the marble city after the previous weeks debauchery and another win.
Four points on the table and two great weekends i couldnt think of better to be honest.

Its called supporting your county something id say is lost on you
