NFL Division 1

Don't mind Syfīn and his "predictions"
He told  all on stolen-sheep Saturday morning that Corofin would win the club championship.

If teams finish on the same points then is it head to head if only 2 teams or score difference or average?

Two teams head to head more than two scoring difference.

Didn't Donegal make the semis last year and Cork get relegated despite both finishing on the same points, along with one or two others?

Hammerings such as the one Cork received in Ballyshannon can end up being very costly beyond the points lost.

Yes Donegal,Monaghan,Mayo and Cork all finished on 6 points. Donegal +12 scoring difference Mayo -9 Monaghan -11 and Cork -16. Cork beat Mayo by 9 and Monaghan by 7 points but it was the hammerings to Donegal and Roscommon that got Cork relegated and kept Monaghan up.

Donegal somehow find themselves 3 points up at the half, after two goals in a minute before half time when the Dublin defense was at sixes and sevens. Dublin have far more possession on an awful pitch, and missed a few chances they'd sling over on a dry one. Conditions are causing big problems for both teams, with O'Gara the only person who seems to be able to win a ball coming into him. Donegal had reverted to type and sat back, but I guess they can say it has worked, so far, when they're 3 points up after created few chances.

HT Donegal 2-2 Dublin 0-5

Donegal management are digging trenches around the 45 at halftime.
They really made no effort to play football in the first half and had one full forward
But to their credit, Mccaffrey missed an open point from play inside the 21 in front of goal,
Dublin fell asleep for a minute and they scored two goals.
Field in places in a bit of a mud bath
Some Dub forwards do not like it one bit especially Rock, who missed three scoreable frees and has not touched the hall from play.
If you thought the first half was not very entertaining the Second half may be worse hope I am wrong

52 mins gone in this Donegal Dublin game five scores to seven poor viewing but we might see exciting finish to game.

Dublin goal moments ago which could well be the turning point.

[From the Bunker]

Going on todays game v Dublin you'd have to feel if Donegal meet Dublin in an AI final they would beat them! 

[Main Street]

Monaghan by a point in Killarney.
Phew....,  it doesn't get any easier watching games this close.
Altogether a tremendous 2nd half effort by Monaghan to go three ahead  with 10 minutes (all told) left to play. Nice to give Kerry a football lesson in their own back yard.

Could be a vital point for Donegal in the finish up. Halfway to the target of six, which would be some going for such an inexperienced team. Contrast in what came of the benches today was incredible! Good performance all around in difficult conditions, although we gave a few balls away by hand passing to men who were fairly tightly marked. Main thing was they hung in there when it looked like Dublin were getting set to pull away. Murphy was everywhere and made some powerful runs. Kicking was a bit off, but he wasn't alone in what weren't easy conditions with a wet field and cold muddy ball! Ciaran Thompson looks to be a lovely striker of the ball. McBrearty might have a bit of competition for the right side frees when he returns.

Last Donegal free was typical of a ref playing for a draw. Donegal's forwards were awful. 1 point from play and that was in the 1st min. Rock had an off day on the frees and good to see Flynn get first place run out

[Schkite]

What a win for Monaghan. Had to do with listening to the lads on Northern Sound which was tough going at the end, but it'll be enjoyable viewing on tg4 now.

Good to hear the likes of McCarron and Doogan stepping up when McManus was well held, even if he did pop up for a couple of crucial points in the second half.

Wins away to Mayo and Kerry and unbeaten after 3 games, some start to the league.

The one that Fenton won a few minutes beforehand on the Donegal 45 was just as soft.

[Il Bomber Destro]

Impressive from Donegal given the big changeover since last year.

Young McGee had a great game and thought Gallagher was good in defence.

As was Murphy good in defence along with the other 14 players!! Football is dreadful

[Cunny Funt]

Two more points should keep Donegal up as Roscommon or Cavan are unlikely to get 6 points. Kerry having their normal league not overly bothered so long as they stay up.

I think Mayo will beat Dublin next weekend and go on to play Tyrone in the NFL final.
