NFL Division 3 2014

[Syferus]

The way to do that isn't to allow key U21 players like the Smiths, Conoreen and Murt get injured or be leaden legged for the Wednesday.
Evans has done well so far this year but now's his chance to show his respect for the county and not just a blinkered approach with only a mind for the senior team. Doubt sense will prevail.

I highly doubt he'll take your advice anyway gasúinín 
He's the Senior manager and it's the priority team so it gets first call on the best players.

Certainly not that way in the majority of successful underage counties. We of all counties know that what's been acceptable before isn't necessarily for the best.

Beat Mayo at U21 or beat Fermanagh in a non-critical away league game? I know which one is more important to most supporters. I think we can beat Fermanagh without the U21s.

The team isn't selected by popular vote y'eejitín. It's selected by Johneen Evans.

Ooh sy don't be gettin your headeen in a spineen  a week before the big clash.

I know if you happen to lose your run on Mayo at this level , it will cause large scale depression in the county of stolen sheep and a free the weed td .

See ya in Castlebar buckeen .

I know it may upset you Lar but we've given up worrying  about or measuring ourselves on results against Chokerland.
Succesful Counties like Kerry/Cork/Dublin/Tyrone are now our benchmarks.

And Cavan.

Round 4 squeaky bum time.

Fermanagh v Roscommon - i stand corrected we have lost on our last three visit to Enniskillen would be nice to get a long overdue win but a draw would be a decent result also.

Offaly v Longford - midland derby, Offaly have to win this game if they are to stay up while the larries must be on a high after that comeback win against Fermanagh.

Cavan v Sligo - three wins from 3 & at home will have Cavan hot favourites however its hard to know what Sligo team will turn up on the day.

Limerick v Wexford - judging by what i saw of both against us this game will be like two bald men fighting over a comb.

That's the spirit, let's hope for your sake it's not another false dawn and 13 then becomes 14 , because it will really start to become scary when 18 year old Roscommon men can't ever remember beating Mayo in championship .

[Shamrock Shore]

Cannot go to Tullamore this Sun but anything other than a win will keep us in the relegation mire.

O'Connor Park is another graveyard for Longford - like Portlaoise and Navan.
Well....I spose every ground in Leinster can be classed a graveyard for Longford

To borrow from what One greater than I once said -" Weep not for us but for ye'reselves and ye're children"
Anyway back on topic -haven't heard any word of a team yet.
This will be a tough one for us as Fermanagh are alleged to play with a packed defence so will be interesting to see how we cope. However our recent outbreak of quick direct ball to pacy mobile forwards is one way to overcome that and here's hoping we continue in that vein and don't go back to the Rugby League stuff we got mired in over the last few years.
Two points here and we can start booking an oul trip to Croker for the D3 Final.

I wonder if we're over-egging Fermanagh in the same manner we over-egged Wexford and Limerick. If we're focused there's zero reason to be losing. The Duke in the People yesterday was buying into Evans' complacency-warding mantra of this being our 'most important league game in years' but the reality is the result of this game is unlikely to be make or break either way. It'd mean we have a chance to be heading to Breffni with the (likely) golden 10 points in the bag but there are other avenues to the same point and they involve games in the comforting surroundings of Lough Ree.

[ross4life]

The golden 10 points wouldn't have been enough to get us promoted last year & if we lose on Sunday Fermanagh will have the advantage on the head to head against us & with games against Limerick (A) Wexford (H) Offaly (H) that they should win.

The team with one win in all of 2014 is likely to go on a four game winning streak? I'm glad you're optimistic about the northern boys but there's many more reasons to be optimistic about ourselves.

We've always had a problem with pumping our opponents with hot air, if we played Carlow we'd probably still be getting comments about the waiting in the long grass or that 'they're a very physical side'.

Fermanagh have regressed since God left and we've got a lot better since we last played them; that's the black and white of the situation.

[rodney trotter]

Fermanagh have arguably their best forward back on the panel since Canavan left, seamus quigley.
Dropped before the Chsmpionship in 2012  for discipline and didnt feature for the remainder of canavans reign. The ff line of Seamus and Sean Quigley is a handful and Thomas Corrigan. Eoin Donnelly is a quality player at midfield,  Ryan McCluskey at centre back.

Y'amadáinín - it's called treating your opponents with the respect they deserve as footballers representing their County.
It's not as if we've been knocking around the top 4 or 6 or anything like that in years We've lost to Laythrum and stuttered past Longford within the last 6 weeks so just take your 14 year ould logic and put it in the attic with the rest of your toys.
Thankfully the management and players aren't as full of immature crap as you are.

Yes look at us, this time last year we had only won one game yet went on to win our remaining three games.

I think most know on their day Fermanagh at home are capable of beating any side in div 3, i think deep down Syferus must know the aren't Carlow.
