NFL Division 1 2024

Thought Derry very poor last 20mins when they went 9 clear, but we never beat Galway so I take it. Can't understand the ref not blowing the pulling and holding on Rodgers and Glass in middle of the field 2nd Half. The Galway lads were pulling at them steady going for the kickouts, with the ref nearly  on top of it, so he obviously let it go as the score was so big.

By the rule book Molloy shouldn't have got a black card but by common sense it's something the black card should cover, he did his best to tackle the man not the ball to prevent a score

[screenexile]

I thought we were very average and still beat Galway comfortably.

Given the Dublin performance last night we're set up for a huge game next weekend. Derry will need to up the intensity to compete it'll be a proper test of where we are.

Worries about the injury to Conor Doc I hope he's ok it looked like a possible knee injury.

[time ticking away]

Third goal looked like it was   thrown into the net

A fist only  rule needs bringing in. A player will be blown up if he palmed  the ball in open play , so why are  they allowed to palm the ball into the net?

What??

I said...

A player will be blown up if he palmed  the ball in open play

You're thinking of soccer.

Dubs will let you tear away next weekend i reckon. Think they probably unintentionally overshowed their hand last night. Mickey likes winning trophies, Derry will go 100mph, Dubs won't.

Derry are damned if they do and Damned if they don't

So how exactly does that show itself in training this week in Dublin, pre match meetings / talks? All 15 starters nailed on, no competition for places etc. Be a case of putting the Derry upstarts in their place

Celtic park are expecting a phone call from Dessie 10 min before throw in  to say their bus has a flat wheel . But to  Carry on we will be there by half time.

Derry will care a lot more than the Dubs. Not that controversial an opinion.

Absolutely not but not sure why the Dubs would lift the intensity this weekend and not next weekend?

Also it's hard to see Derry being as hungry with 6 points on the board difficult to know what to make of next weekend.

I'd hope it's similar to last year with both teams doing the best they can with what's available. Potentially a really good game!

[galwayman]

We got the result that we expected to get in Pearse Stadium.
We are really struggling at the moment.
I was up in Owenbeg two years ago when we beat Derry comfortably.
Only 5 starters that day started today.
You just can't see where the scores are going to come from at the moment.
We're missing loads of players but even when we get them back (if we do) they will have been out for so long will it be too late for us to get some cohesion going - that's the question.
Being able to start a game with Silke, Kelly, Conroy, Tierney, Walsh, Comer, McDaid should transform a team in theory - it's half a team right there.
Somehow though I just feel as if it won't this year for some reason.
I think we'll bow out without firing a shot. Can't put a finger on it

8 points and safe, Dublin with 4 points and not safe. We'll accept Dublin's red carpet next Sat, it's extremely generous all being told

[Rossfan]

A workmanlike much improved performance gave Ros their first win of the season against a poor Monaghan outfit.
Also improved our score difference  no end.
On to Castlebar with hope in our hearts and a pep on our step.

Conor Carroll, Enda, Higgins, McCormack and Cregg our best performers in my opinion.

Yeah, all very well getting a load of players back but they are missing a lot of football now and expecting them to all get up to match fitness and sharpness in time for championship might not be realistic. Even Molloy looks short on sharpness after his long injury and he's actually fit at the moment.

D1 is very open. 2 points separate second and eighth
