NFL Division Two 2022

Who have Ros left to play other than Galway ?

They play Offaly this weekend which should put them up to 10 points. If Galway beat Derry that'd be Galway 12, Roscommon 10 and Derry 9. In that scenario Galway could rest a heap of players for their last league game v Roscommon and use their squad. That's why it's a must win game for Derry v Galway.

Thuggish behaviour in as what?

Shane McGuigan constantly dragged down and pinned to the ground and the Rossie fans cheering away when he got the 2nd yellow. They'd want to look at themselves before pointing any fingers.

It was an ironic cheer from the Rossie supporters, we got nothing off the ref bar the first 10mins & that incident involving McGuigan, he cost us the game. As regards looking at yourselves, Joe public will soon see Derry for what they are.

I just watched a video from the stand of the last 5 mins again there on Facebook. Embarrassing from a Rossie perspective. Joe public will soon see Roscommon for what they are.

Ros would have won by 6+ points only for a disgrace of a referee. Derry players were nothing short of thugs and your manager a sc**bag. chrissy mckaigue was an embarrassment and its an awful pity someone didnt take the clowns head off. . I expected more from Derry giving all the talk about them. They can thank the ref and the wanna be celebrity linesman for the point they got yesterday.

I'm sure we're no angels and this is the level we're at, probably in or around the 10th best side in the country. That part is what it is. The referee may have been poor too and decisions could and should have went both ways.

I do find it hugely ironic and hypocritical though that we're being branded as thugs when Roscommon clearly targeted our best forward and dragged him and pinned him to the ground repeatedly.

No angels on either side yesterday oakleaf..both sides gave and took it..that's why a good ref was needed not the amateur (aren't they all😊)with the whistle yesterday ..bad calls both ways ..dalys two yellows were a joke as were mcguigans..the heneghan incident was crucial but rte ignored it..fair result in the end and both teams will learn from it..Galway still have their two hardest games with their star player out of form according to his manager  so let's see where the cards fall in two weeks time ..

The black card to Cian McKeon on 40 mins seem to be one of the games biggest turning points. 11-5 at the stage, what was it for was it the correct call?

I would say third man in after the Derry player dump tackled Heneghan to the ground. McKeon went in a pulled the Derry player off Henghan. Laughable really.
Conor Cox got hit off the ball and somehow got a yellow for it. Ref was just a joke all round.

Was never a fan of the black card to begin how its stayed as long as it has is a mystery to me. Refs are confused enough, should go back to the yellow and red card offences only IMO.

Awful performance in Tuam.  So many issues that are not being addressed or improved namely kick-outs, transition from defence to attack, midfield, support runners for the man in possession etc.  We are so much less than the sum of our parts right now.  Need to win one of our final 2 games to go back to Div 1 which we just might manage although it's hard to have much confidence that we will beat either Ros or Derry away, that for sure.  One thing that is sure is that we will get pummelled by Mayo in Castlebar next month, miles off that level based on our league games to date.

It's important to get back to Division One, mental to have 10 points on the board not be assured but it's the mini league with Rossies and Derry that will decide the two to go up. Would be disaster to not make it up, have a feeling it will come down to a winner take all game against Roscommon.
I'd be worried about the Mayo game but I think the issues you outlined there are not things that can be completely fixed in 6 weeks, I would have expected to see improvements in the matches against what is, outside of Rossies and Derry, a really, really poor crop of Division Two teams this year, but haven't really. There's patches in games where it looks OK but not at a consistent enough level, it's not like it's been a different selection of players every week either. Certain areas such as FB line and midfield plenty of questions still. Tackling technique is good one minute and awful the next, conceding way too many goals.
Get a win in one of the next two matches and actually show up against Mayo then the performances to date won't matter but it's been much the same team in every match and it doesn't look like one that will get near the top teams in championship.
Comer fully fit and scoring is big plus and Sean Kelly would make any team in the country, if Shane Walsh is on form then there's 3 lads that take serious minding, up to other players like Finnerty and McDaid that are around the panel a while now need to step up into bigger roles or we'll go nowhere in the summer. Pity Cooke isn't available, could really do with him as an option out around the middle. Might seem strange to have so many Galway supporters unhappy after 5 wins from 5 but for anyone who has been at the matches, they can see what's coming down the tracks, the standard in Division Two is so far off Division One it's hard to believe and Cork who are an absolute mess of an outfit stuck 2-17 past Galway.
Mayo are going into April with zero respect for and zero fear of Galway, at the end of the day there's no valid argument to be made saying it should be otherwise either.

Speaking of Galway midfielders are Tom Flynn and Ciaran Duggan on panel?

No. We have very few midfielders in our squad. It's an area of weakness for us.

Can't pretend to have any optimism for the summer ahead, midfield though is clearly a huge issue. Add Cooke to the 2 lads named above, I assume James McLaughlin is injured as he's not been named on a matchday panel so far.

Looks like Galway have had a 15 minute purple patch in every game so far where they've scored 7/8 points without reply, going to have to do a lot more then that to give Mayo a game in 5 weeks time. Getting out of this division is imperative to Galway going forward, spending 2 years in it would be a disaster.

Are Galway top or bottom of the table...

Bottom of the table in their effort at poor mouthing.
