NFL Division 2

I'm sure tyrone worked their balls off for that point today. They'll be there or there abouts come August.

Sarcasm? I wouldn't read into Tyrone's last two results that much. They'll be a different team come the Championship. Seem to be making more than a few mistakes at the minute.

Sarcasm alright. If it was Derry or Armagh they were playing today with the chance to relegate do you think they'd have hit as many wides?

Your point makes little sense given that Tyrone only drew with Armagh last week. If Fermanagh had scored a last minute goal today instead of Armagh last week you'd have said Tyrone wouldn't have allowed that to happen v Armagh.

But for a scoring spree at the end of both halves Armagh would have lost that game today.Div 2 is poor,not one team in it is serious provincial contenders never mind All Ireland contenders.We are now a yo yo team too good for Div 3 and not good enough for Div 2.

Aye and if Derry scored 7 more points we would have lost also. Your argument doesn't make any sense.

What do you expect from McGeeney? to wave a wand and make it 2002 again?We are not a contender for Ulster or the AI. But that was never going to happen overnight. We have made significant progress over the last 3 games and that for me is enough reason to be optimistic for the summer. If your expectation was to be competiting for All Irelands then you will be sorely disappointed. Bit of perspective is needed here.

Tyrone went through the motions today. They were losing for much of the match and only equalised with last score of the game. Contrast that with Armagh who they wanted to beat and Derry who they love to beat. I'm sure they'd have been a lot more fired up. All irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, as ultimately Armagh are responsible for where they play ball next year.

Armagh are developing some good young players at present
Thought Rafferty, mc ilroy, hefron Watters all had strong games.
We had strategies in place for kick outs,the throw ins etc
And we are developing.
Relegation is tough
But we are in a far better place than at start of the year.

Exactly.We shouldn't be relying on other teams on the last day of the league.Looking at it objectively we have regressed significantly in the last 18 months,when we were one point away from an AI semi final.Even last season in Div 3 we were far from convincing,had a disastrous Championship campaign and failed to stay in Div 2 amid a raft of mediocre sides.

No one is saying we should be in contention for All Irelands or even Ulster titles but we should have been able comfortably to stay in Div 2,ahead of the likes of one man teams like Fermanagh.

A review of football in Armagh needs to take place urgently,examining things like premature retirements,relationship with Crossmaglen etc.

Not every team has the resources of dublin. These things work in cycles.... We will be back.

Massive congrats to Itchy and the rest of the Cavan folk on their well deserved promotion. Themselves and Fermanagh were my tips for relegation at the start of the league, so well done to both for proving me spectacularly wrong.
A functional, what we expected unbeaten campaign from a Tyrone team that was always far too good for this division.
A shocking campaign for each of the other five teams, in particular ourselves, despite Derry avoiding relegation.

[FermGael]

Another round of games and Derry would have been relegated.
Delighted to stay up.
We have a very young team and another year at this standard will help develop them even further.

It's only the league.

Fair play to Cavan had them down as relegation candidates, however they decided after 2 games to play positive attacking football and that has them playing Div 1 football next year. Have some decent looking forwards.

Your good wishes are well received, but please please don't buy into the narrative that Cavan "decided after 2 games to play positive attacking football"... It is simply not what happened.

Armagh won nothing in 2001. It was the year after

[Over the Bar]

Good to see there will be 4 Ulster teams in Div 1 next season!
