Quote from: Rossfan on January 30, 2024, 10:22:38 AMHard to make a case for Ros either after Sunday.
Probably a draw to help us both into Div 2.

A Galway source says Joyce is planning for them to peak around late June and they're not getting excited about th'oul League.
The new system has 2 leagues- one in Feb and the other one in the championship.
Maybe division 1 isn't the best place to spend the spring. I dunno.
But as Meath found out last year, div 2 can be precarious too!

Do we need a better incentive for league placings? Maybe provincial winners and the team with the highest league placing in each group get 2 home games in the all Ireland series? The neutral game is a stupid idea imo. Make it home and away only.

Meath are shite.
The question is what strategy is best for top 8 teams.

Quote from: seafoid on January 29, 2024, 04:25:48 PMDoes any team actually wanrt to win the League under the new system?
Does winning the League benefit anyone ?

And why are Derry 5/2?

Why I think was highlighted by the strong team selection by Mickey Harte for round 1 of the league. Like Jack O'Connor on his return to Kerry it looks like the clear aim for Derry is to win every competition they'll enter.


NFL final is set for March 31st and should they reach it they'll still have three weeks to prepare for the opening round of the Ulster championship.
That will require
1. steroids
2. scoring forwards
3. no injuries



You love Derry Seafoid!
I think the fans are too excitable. But let's see.

I don't think we are but be nice to us it's been a long time since we've been competitive we have to make the most of it (especially if you come from a very mediocre club who have been underachieving for decades)

I see some Tyrone people bragging about their 4 All Ireland's on Facebook. Something must have upset them. Humility is a positive human trait. Apparently they "even won one without Mickey Harte".

G wouldn't need have Kerry and Dublin starting to mouth about how many All-Irelands they have.Hell maybe Down and Cavan blow up about winning a fair lot.

Definitely some Derry link with seafoid. Not sure what it is though.

Tyrone's facebook is full of head the balls, every county has them. Ours congregate on Facebook

I hear that Tyrone's appeal against Sundays red card was thrown out.
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.
