A comfortable win for Monaghan against a Roscommon team that brought no fight or intensity to that game at all.  Monaghan 1-20 Roscommon 0-14.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Some performance from Monaghan, didn't think they had that 2nd half composure and game management in the locker tbh, Superb. Conor McCarthy a very worthy MOTM, purring about the place like a Rolls Royce.

Donegal v Kerry again next weekend, heard it here first
Can't happen unfortunately. Even if Kerry somehow lose to Kildare they can't play Donegal again.

If Kerry lose to Kildare,they're out.  If they win, they're in the round 3 draw on Monday morning.
We're both half right, forgot Kerry were in last chance saloon. Repeat pairings are avoided if at all possible so they won't get Kerry.

1 major shock and one mild one so far, not bad for such a shitty draw according to the experts.

Kerry missing Sean O'Shea, White (on bemch), Tom O'Sullivan and Shane Ryan, any others?

Brendan

Rory Gallagher may give up the predictions, 2/2 wrong so far and other weeks has a similar success rate

Main Street

You'd have thought the Rossies had done all the hard work in the 1st half, only 5 points behind and scoring the next 3 points in the 2nd half. From then on, very nice classy play from Monaghan who just made it look very easy, kick outs almost perfect, neatly controlled possession, patient point scoring opportunities and tireless defensive work around 40m arc.

Ok, so repeat pairings avoided at this stage also.

As far as I know!

Jordan Morris looks to be moving very gingerly after picking up a knock in the warm up

It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

AustinPowers

2A losers v 2B winners.

Neutral venues or  first drawn out is at home?

Great goal from Meath (still feel wrong enjoying a Meath score)

Had my doubts about starting Sargeant in a game like this but by god he's delivering!
