NFL Division 1 2022

Forker is not a man.

Well that certainly gives us an insight into the quality of your contributions.

That is just rank poor.

Is it not just a Brollyism?

Yes  indeed, it was a glaringly obvious písstake on one of the most infamous Brolly comments of all time  'he's not a man' after Big Sean cruelly took down the saintly McManus.
Some of you Nordies are beyond redemption

While Kerry might welcome a League Final, Armagh and Mayo might have no interest in it, as they have a Provincial championship to face.

McGeeney can hardly afford to turn his nose up at the chance for any silverware.

Division 1 status is secured. Personally, I wouldn't care about a league final, there are too many risks.  Need to set our sights on the championship where our record is abysmal.

I think James Horan is a super manager. But one criticism that may have been fairly laid at him (IMO) from his first jaunt was he didn't appreciate how good Parsons was in the really big games. I wonder does the same apply now to O'Hora.

If Gaelic football was truly international, I'd have O'Hora as one of Ireland's corner backs, but I think Horan is unsure as to whether he's worth a starting position for Mayo.

I knew James Horan and he was always a smart man. What you say about Parsons was not totally true. In 2011-13 Parsons was not available to the Mayo squad. In 2014 Horan had to bend backwards to accommodate him.

O'Hora is a warrior, a decent player and probably a good lad in the dressing room and on the pitch. Not sure he's the best in the land in his position though. When things go good for O'Hora they go good, but he can drift out of games.

He has a high profile from Hell Week and from is interview post beating the Dubs last year! He is a larger than life character and this can cloud peoples perception of him as a footballer.

No David Clifford or Sean O'Shea a decent chance for Armagh to end Kerrys unbeaten run.

Interesting to hear your opinion on this. I think O'Hora has a lot of great qualities - tough, tigrish, sticky corner back - and has taken some of Colm Boyle's mantle as the fans favourite, however I think he can get technically caught out quite often. Against Dublin last year (I think) he was one on one in front of goal and miraculously came out with the ball. I think he got lucky as he was on the wrong side and I still can't figure out how he did it. Not long before he was taken off in the same game he took off up the field being chased by 2 players and managed to battle for long enough to win a free. He was lucky here again because he had gone down a dead end and there was nowhere to go if he wasn't fouled.
These may seem like nitpicking when he came out on top on both occasions, and maybe it is better to be able to win when you have no right to, but I think sometimes he makes poor decisions and can seem like making heroic efforts to get out of situations he has put himself in.

That being said, I believe Horan approaches big games by looking for matchups for his defenders against opposition forwards. Swanee will be a good fit to mark certain players but not others.

Totally inaccurate statement.
Horan dropped him from the panel when he took over in 2010.
after losing to Dublin in the all Ireland final in 2013, when it was apparent that Mayo had very very limited reserves in midfield, he invited him back, at that time Tom Parson was working in Wales, and committed from there for a year or more.
I am sure that was a ton of fun commuting back and forth.
Do you still feel that Horan bent over backwards to accommodate him.

Tyrone starting team and subs for tonights game.

[Gael85]

Tyrone should win this by 3/4 points.

[Blowitupref]

Great start for Tyrone 0-5 to no score after 15 minutes. Mayo looking very sluggish thus far.

It a tough breeze out shooting into that . Dublin only got 2 second half points from the fist last week. Tyrone 2 first half points were 21 yard frees.

Great start for Tyrone 0-5 to no score after 15 minutes. Mayo looking very sluggish thus far.

Tyrone quite cynical. McShane has had 3 cynical fouls stopping Mayo building from the back and hasn't even had a tick.

[clarshack]

Some poor misses from Burns, McGeary and Sludden. Hope we don't rue those.

[clarshack]

Should there have been time for that last Mayo attack?
