NFL Division 2 2012

Always good to have the best palyers playing for their counties, Freeman would be now pushing 30 ? Difficult for lads of that age to pick up where they left off.

Id say Monaghan people would rather see Mc Manus back quicker then Freeman...

Where did Rory Woods ever go to? He had a bit of quality and presence about him

He probably had a bit too much presence for an intercounty footballer.

Rory Woods emigrated as far as I know.

He's working in NY for a Kerry fella from the Leitrim club

Absence would seem to be his defining characteristic now.

[Maguire01]

Id say he would have made it onto the starting 15 for most counties.

[armaghniac]

Monaghan to loose home advantage to Louth for their part in the melee, sounds a bit harsh but maybe the way to go.

A neutral venue would have been sufficient, Crossmaglen would do the trick. Does Louth have anywhere to accommodate even a moderate crowd?

[upmonaghansayswe]

What if our next home game had of been Kerry or Cork? Would they have changed the venue? Punish the fans while they are at it!.. Mind you, id love another trip to killarney  .

[Maguire01]

Kildare have withdrawn their appeal after seeing what happened to Monaghan. They risked their game v Derry being moved to an away fixture.

[Ard-Rí]

Interesting developments with Kildare edging Meath by a point, and Westmeath pulling off a very unexpected victory against Galway. Tyrone bet Louth so Meath's stumble won't be completely covered up for, but it could be much worse.

[Maguire01]

A very interesting division now. Louth and Westmeath probably doing a bit better than expected. I'd expect Monaghan to avoid the drop, but there'll be a lot of teams in the mix after 5/6 games.

[Croí na hÉireann]

Surreal day in Cusack Park yesterday. Westmeath were comfortably outnumbered in the stand, Sharry started center back, Natchie corner forward and Bannon was sending them over the black spot from midfield. Galway had the look of a team who've heard about Garrycastle this, lads playing hurling that and injuries the other. The only one who looked interested was Gary Sice. Oddly enough there was no one who stood out for Westmeath, maybe Kieran Gavin who stuffed Nicky Joyce down his trouser leg and Gary who pulled off another amazing save. Some of his kick outs are appalling and they were like Garryowens at times yesterday hanging up in the wind but he has to be the best shot stopper in the country, takes something special to beat him.

Edit: Found a photo



I counted seven points for Westmeath in the first half but the scoreboard said it was 6 points all, I'd love to find out what got disallowed and for what. Still great to get the victory in the end, could have killed Glennon when he took his point when clean through when two down near the end but credit to the young fellas, they stood up to be counted and worked the winner. Much needed boost for Westmeath football and gives the U21s a shot in the arm ahead of Wednesday.

The seventh point you had was probably the effort from Paul Bannon after about 6 or 7 minutes. Would have been Westmeath's second point. Umpire picked up the flag initially but it was given as a wide Not sure if it was by the ref, the other ump or the first ump had just got himself in a muddle in the first place and changed his mind

Strange match alright. Two poor enough teams and like you said, Galway clearly didn't give a shit but great to get the win

Yeah, that sounds about right Bill as the scoreboard didn't clock a point around then, fecking ejiots.
