NFL Division 1 2025

[thewobbler]

Unconvinced by the new rules. Obviously Cassidy just invented a rule book of his own today in Castlebar but overall football really isn't much different. It's still descending into basketball. Everyone back behind the arc, slow buildup, lateral passes.

Dublin Kerry was a cracker but Dublin Kerry league games in Kerry have been classics now for the guts of 10 years. Its desire and history that makes that a good game rather than the addition of new rules.

No I'm not seeing this. Mayo v Tyrone was always going to be low scoring today because the only player on the field - for the most part - who has ever been considered a scoring forward at this level is Darren McCurry. Not anyone's fault per se. It's just what can happen when two teams caught in a transition / rest older players quandary meet. It was always going to be laboured.

Down v Meath yesterday was a cracking game.

Point is, he shouldn't be able to post that statement!

Any part of it not fact?

What you have posted is libellous and if the mods don't take it down the board could be trouble.

Forker's a pretend 'hardman'. Mc Kernan of Tyrone and Mc Kindless of Derry the same.

Think they're the enforcers in their teams.

Every team has one.

As a Tyrone man, I think McKernan is in the top 2 players in the county - extremely consistent. From the outside, I can see where you are coming from but he is a tough cookie. Very unlucky not to have an all star before now
For me McKinless is a great player but the biggest issue I have with him is the constant diving. Always hits the deck at the merest of touches whether it is club or county but a superb athletic player
Forker is another great player and has been a brilliant servant for Armagh. I struggle to comprehend some of his antics when he is supposedly a super intellectual fella by all accounts and a primary school VP into the bargain.

In saying all that them 3 players in the half back line wouldn't be bettered as a combination.

I think if McGeeney had any sense he would have bowed out after last year.

Why so? Lost a league game minus 8/9 first teamers against a very strong Donegal side who will take all the stopping in the summer.

Which ones

Nice cameo from Murphy.

Should be safe in Div 1 for another year. You'd assume Jim will start mixing up the line up a bit more now going forward as we've been going fairly strong so far.

He'll not want to get to a league final with Derry the week after will he?

Thats some start for Donegal, beating Kerry, Dublin and the current All Ireland winners in 3 games.

We'll need a huge improvement and it's close to a must win against Mayo now, fairly feeling the loss of all the lads we're missing now.

Doubt if they'll want a league final. With safety more or less assured if they get another point, I'll be amazed if there's not a lot of chopping and changing now to get everyone some minutes.

J70, I feel like you been telling us Donegal don't want to make a league final for the past two months. Jim isn't listening. He's picking his strongest team every game and going to warm weather training so they hit the ground running.

Jim's obviously way smarter than some random idiot like myself with this senior intercounty management, but I fail to see how he could be targeting a league final appearance a week out from an extremely tough Ulster preliminary round.

We'll see what happens of course. He's not been wrong too many times.

Get there and then field a reserve team to prove a point? Should be string favourites now for top 2 given who they've played so far.

I'm sure Donegal would love to win a league title but not at the cost of having to play the final a week before a massive Ulster game.

Is losing in championship that bigga deal? Sure another crack at it build momentum and who knows. But silverware isn't always coming so when the opportunity knocks...

It's going to be hard for Donegal to avoid a league final at this stage. I do hope he fields a second string for last couple of games as one of those is against Derry but I can't see it.

On one hand you want to keep players fresh but losing momentum and games is just as dangerous. It's a tricky balance. Look at what happened Derry last year when we lost to Donegal. Confidence plummeted, injuries came and the wheels came off.

That being said I do expect he'd rest players for league final if Ulster is week later.

And therein lies the issue with anonymous names, a$$wipes like yourself can temporarily turn a decent forum into twitter. You would not in a million years put your actual name to this post. A coward

3 brilliant players, albeit they stray across the line from time to time... pantomime villians and we all secretly love these types of players
