NFL Division 3 2014

[sligoman2]

We hung on for a 1 point win which should be enough to stay up.

Possible free for Longford was not given at the death.  So next year we should get 4 home games.

Well done lads, however we fell asleep again for a while

Its the luck of the draw how many home games you get.

Listening to Shiteside it would seem Longford's first half performance was dire beyond all belief.

At least they stopped fluting around with the ball in the second half and went direct. Could have got a draw. Most have said it was a free in at the end, but there ya go. Wouldn't have made any difference I don't think. We need a draw or better v Wexford, whose wheels are nowhere to be found near their wagon.

Big wins today for Sligo & Fermanagh.

We in Cavan can only be thankful that Roscommon spared us an inevitable hammering by a) Sending only their B team b) Getting a player sent off on purpose just to test how they'd play with 14 men and c) Intentionally kicking all their frees wide just to keep the game interesting.

You're finally talking sense, Myles.

Johneen's master plan is coming together nicely.

[Westside]

Roscommon's first team will beat us comfortably in Croke Park.

Syferus is slowing down, took him over 30mins to reply 

Seriously though a) our "B starting team" had 4 All Ireland club winners,3 All Ireland minor winners & 4 Sigerson cup winners. b) Ian Kilbride didn't learn from the sending off in Connacht club final c) div 4 level free taking or worse from us last night.

Hard to know whats going on when Willie Hegarty is doing the commentary. Sligo are staying up it looks like our other neighbours Longford should do likewise & both will probably be pushing promotion next year. I hope we don't go in the other direction.

On another note. Sad news on the passing of Brendan Lynch today, a member of our All-Ireland winning teams in 1943/44. RIP.

Aye. Now to make the final competitive - that is to allow Cavan to stay in the game. Could we play both halves with the wind and have Joe McQuillan as the ref. Otherwise I fear Roscommon will beat us by 40 points.

And that's with us resting the U21s for the second half.

Minor, All Ireland Club, Sigerson are all fine and well but Senior Inter Co ( even D3)  is a step up and some lads just haven't got what it takes.
RIP Brendan. Only 2 left now John Joe Nerney and Liam Gilmartin. As the oul  refrain went " Nerney small and Gilmartin tall "

Isn't there another member of panel that started the AISF in '43 or '44 still alive too? I remember Tony Conboy doing an interview with him in the Herald a year or two ago. Think he emigrated after '44, he was quite young.

So the loser of wex v Longford goes down.  Home field advantage might shade it for Wexford but they would need a big mprovement on today or they will be playing against our good friends in London next year

Didn't show it that dead rubber game however i think the majority of those lads have what it takes & a good management team will always get the best out of players. Others lads without those credentials will find it tougher to step up but then again thats the same with every county.

Big sigh of relief after the final whistle yeaterday. Disappointed that I couldn't make it to Markievicz myself but happy with what I've heard about it. Survival was always the goal for the league. That has been acheived so now the focus turns to June and a home tie against either Galway or our conquerers of last year, London. Lots of work to be done but some better options at our disposal following this league. We till have some troublesome areas that we may not have the personnel to fix but I'm sure the manager will come up with something to mitigate these problems. I think we'll be decent in the summer.
