My predictions for Division 4 2024.

1. Laois
2. Longford
3. Wexford
4. Tipperary
5. Carlow
6. Leitrim
7. London
8. Waterford

This has been copied straight of the Paddy Power Division 4 Odds Page        

Tipperary have Paul Kelly , the former Naas and Thomas Davis Manager in on a 3 year term , he was involved with Wicklow and Oisin McConville last year . Former Baltinglass and Wicklow Player Hugh Kenny is Coach and Kelly has an impressive backroom Team including former Tipp Keeper Paul "Cracker" Fitzgerald !

Waterford footballers the last team to appoint a manager or did I miss their appointment?

Yup !

Peter Keane former Kerry Manager in the frame to be the next Tipperary Boss ! He has won the All-Ireland Junior Club Football Championship with his Club St Mary`s and 3 in a row All Ireland Minor with Kerry as Manager . Was Kerry Senior Manager between 2019 and 2021 , beaten by Dublin in the 2019 All Ireland Final . Involved with Killarney Legion this year where then went as far as the semi final of the Kerry Intermediate Championship .
Yet to be ratified by the Tipp County Board it will be an exciting appointment if it happens . Will have a decent amount of the successful Tipp Minor/Under 21 Teams from 2011 to 2015 to work with !

Tipperary Dolphins Franchise 🐬 🏈 🐬 is interested !

Peaceful Republic protesters ( British ones ) arrested and Banners confiscated near the coranation . Between 20,000 and 50,000 Pro Independence people marching in Glasgow today !

Why would you be bothered ?

Hope to see a good crowd in Breffni today.

A shock is on the cards - I can feel it in me waters. Longford 11/2 for the win so I am off to put a few bob on us.

Or else I am beginning to get trouble 'down below' 

There was a decent crowd at the Tipp game and no one from Tipp was there so if ye bring a few it might be a good atmosphere

!

Bookies have it.

Longford slight favourites over Fermanagh 10/11
Offaly favourites over Antrim 8/13
Westmeath slight favourites over Cavan 10/11

Anyone think there's great value in Tipp at home to Down. Underdog 9/4. I know there's a consensus Down are improving but they didn't win a game last year.

Seen Tipp v Waterford in the McGrath and they played really well ( I know it was Waterford ) . Playing a different system from last year which was very defensive and counter attacking . More attacking this year and getting the ball into the inside Forward line quickly , Steven O`Brien has been moved to Full Forward , big lad wins a lot of ball and lays it of which really suits Sweeney and O`Connor . Podge Feehan back in Midfield great foot passer will supply plenty of ball inside . Unfortunatly Jack Russell is unavailable will be back from injury in a couple of weeks

Unlucky not to beat Limerick in the McGrath and from what I hear looking very lively in training ! Don`t take Tipp for granted ! !

[Most teams had no travelling supporters in Division 4.]

Any idea what the GAA will charge into this  opposition. If its the same price as a championship game then the crowds will be poor. I'd say 10 euro would be plenty and free for u16s.

It could be free for everyone and there will be nobody at it. The attendances for Division 3/4 teams this year were very small.

Most teams had no travelling supporters in Division 4.

Don`t know where you are getting this info from , Tipp Supporters took a Bus to every away game and many travelled by car . Every game in Semple had away support including a large contingent from London !

Conor Sweeney
Brian Fox
Declan Browne
Brian Burke
Michael Keating

Yeah Tipp full value for that win. Set up perfectly and played the conditions very well. If the most likely scenario plays out and we meet again in Croker, be interested to see how it plays out.

Thought we were superb yesterday , fought like Dogs . Missed a decent goal chance near the end to wrap it up . Tipp v Cavan in Croker , firm sod and a dry ball would be a decent game . I`m not dismissing Carlow and London though , we have to maintain momentum !

Tipp

Hope - Win Div 4 , win Munster final !

Expectation - We should come out of Div 4 , reaching a Munster Final is realistic considering the Draw . We are down a couple of Players from last year but still some really good quality there !

Ballina beat Mount Sion today in the Munster Junior Football Championship Semi Final by 5 points after having County Man Steven O`Brien sent off in the first minute !

Load of old shite and a myth peddled by too many sure to listen to Loyalists they feel the same way both sides going out for their way to spout the "poor me" mentality!!

A myth? Are you for real?

A valid point I seen raised on twitter:

On the 25th Anniversary of the Shankill bomb, bbc ni was saturated on tv & radio with news reports, documentaries and radio and web coverage for five days. Links to much of their coverage can still be found with a quick google. In contrast, they did not make even one MENTION whatsoever of the Loughinisland Massacre on it's 25th anniversary on TV, radio or web.

Does that not tell you something?

Incidentally, they continue to refuse to broadcast the 'No Stone Unturned' film about the massacre.

Well said !
