NFL Division 3 2014

[ross4life]

Action resumes in this mighty Division as we and Cyaavn play out the remaining schedule of meaningless glorified challenge matches.
I suppose two shadow teams here on Saturday?
Ros probably -
O'Reilly
Stack Collins Ward
Kilbride Donnelly Brogan
Finneran C Shine
Keane Burns Keenan
Compton O'Gara and

O'Gara full forward would be worth trying again. Scored two goals against Cavan in Breffni Park last year & Cavan haven't conceded a league goal since that game. On another note C Dineen,K Mannion, D McDermott,S Purcell,S Oates, D Butler featured in that game all are no longer the on panel.

Is there some reason a few Roscommon fans on here cannot spell Cavan? Maybe 5 letters is too many.

Anyhow, I expect we will put out as strong a team as we can and go out to win. Winning is a habit so I'd be surprised if Roscommon do any different. Expect Keating and Clarke to make returns.  Hopefully will be a good game, someone has to lose the perfect record.

The football purists from Roscommon face the anti-football monsters of Cavan on Sunday and for a change we've named a team:

R O'Reilly

S McDermott
N Collins
R Stack

P Brogan
D Donnelly
I Kilbride

K Higgins
M Finneran

D Keane
D Shine
C Compton

S Kilbride
D O'Gara
F Cregg

Bolded are the changes from the last day. No U21s as expected. Collins is a positional switch as well.

The Cavan team to face them:

Conor Gilsenan

Joshua Hayes
Rory Dunne   
Feargal Flanagan
   
Killian Brady   
Alan Clarke   
Damien O Reilly

Packie Leddy

My tongue in cheek prediction got 10 of them right.
The HB Line paying the penalty for being so open v Fermanagh, Limerick, Offaly etc?
Great chance for Stackeen, Donnelly and Paddy Brogan to claim a permanent place.
Hopefully Donie and Senan are in top form as the rest of the forward line doesn't inspire confidence.
anyway it's a meaningless game between two Counties whose minds are no doubt drifting towards long hot Summer days.....

DOG showed some skill at FF, I'm interested to see how he plays in what is the Cathal Cregg role on Sunday, he 'll have plenty of ground to cover.

Think we've forgotten how good Comp is, if his use of the ball has improved he's an excellent young forward in his own right. Keane has impressed in his two chances this year, v Longford and the second half against Offaly.

[Rossfan]

David O'Gara is no Cathal Cregg I'm afraid.
Compton needs to step up and fulfil his potential or he'll be another of the " God he was a great underage player" players.
Keane tries his hardest and will work for 70 minutes but I'm afraid he's not really a County player. OK in D3 but after that....

I thought Roscommon would be favourites but seems cavan are at 4/11.

Cavan were always favourites to win the div 3 title outright so it wouldn't have made sense if you weren't favourite to win this home game.

9 changes for us only 4 for Cavan, i presume both  teams are for the program & more changes will be made before throw in.

I can see that team starting unless Wardie or Ciaran Murt are fit to play.

May have been favouites at the start but Roscommon have shown the better form and have beaten teams more comfortably than Cavan have.

Hello.........

Is there anyone not from Roscommon out there?

Me head is light reading this shtuff

May have been favouites at the start but Roscommon have shown the better form and have beaten teams more comfortably than Cavan have.

Have been keeping a close eye on the odds & Cavan have remained favourites throughout. We have been scoring freely while leaving ourselves open at the back. Cavan have been more cautious going forward & very strong defensively. The punters probably see Cavan's style of play to be more difficult to beat than ours.

These are the same bookies that thought Sligo were 10/1 last weekend, though.

Should be no odds on underage football IMO, already enough pressure on 18-21 year olds than having the extra pressure like the odds that was us last weekend. Also the lack of knowledge that goes into underage odds can be extremely poor.
