NFL Division 1 2025

[Armagh18]

It is interesting how the head-to-head rule prevails throughout a 3 month league. Armagh beat Tyrone 50 days ago in a home match in Athletic Grounds.

Because of Armagh's big score difference today, I think Tyrone are down by any measurement, but the head-to-head rule should be discussed again.

Tyrone would have been down on points scored regardless (provided that last score discussed above was in fact not counted). The table on the Sunday game was slightly wrong.

Isn't it wild that if score difference was used then that score given or not being given would be sore important? Never would have thought that at the time.

The way division one panned out it was the fairest way to do things.Donegal haven't been overly bothered last three rounds, Derry yesterday were a disgrace, Galway going through motions also last few rounds. While Tyrone improved last few rounds of league they were helped by the lineups Donegal and Dublin put out and their attitudes to those games. They were a distant second in a head to head battle with Armagh and while unfortunate to go down on 7 points can have no real complaints.

Derry were not as bad as the scorelne suggests. They played a large part of the match with only 14 men.

I think Derry will have their shit together for the Group stages, USFC maybe too soon for them.

A sending off under these rules is a killer.

Head to head to break ties is not fair because home advantage is so important.  The fairest way to break ties is to play a Tie Break game.  No one wants that extra game, plus it couldn't be used in 3 way ties.

Because the league sees half the teams with an extra home game, I'd suggest the first tie break should be that if one team that had an extra home game then they should be relegated.  The next tie break could be to revert back to the previous year's standings.

For multiple team ties, what is more fair than overall point difference would be point difference only in games involving the tied teams.

Too much is determined by referee judgement calls.  Isn't this the biggest flaw with all the rule changes?  It really puts extra pressure on every referee.

Very harsh decision on McGuigan. Was barely even a shoulder. I think we were probably getting beat anyway given how easy Armagh ran through the middle of us before the red card but you never know how the game would have panned out .

Careful now....we were told we were moaning like a crowd of women after the Kerry match

Derry need to nail down whos playing No.6 , It's too easy coming through the middle. Plus their shadowing instead of tackling worried about giving easy 2pter frees doesn't work, along with the ridiculous zonal marking Tally employs.

I thought that was a clear black card offence myself. I thought the first one was strange. Gough didn't even seem interested in giving the foul initially.

I'd agree with that.. initially looked like he was playing on. The home crowd certainly played a part in a couple of decisions.

He also pinned the wrong people in the mini melee with both McGrogan and McCabe lucky to escape without punishment.
