NFL Division 1

[JoG2]

Hard watch in general. Roarty is top drawer. Jimmy not reinventing the wheel after the AI defeat.

And what about the mighty Dubs? Other than a few Con O'Callaghan two pointers they look no better than the team that made a tame exit from last summers championship.

Dublin will be doing well to avoid relegation based on that first half. No surprise Dublin made 3 subs at half-time.

Donegal at a completely different place but not exactly  a whole pile to convince they will go any closer this year.

There was a kick of a ball in it

They were shite though. And unfit.

They were that shite, a team in serious shape beat them by a kick of the ball.
Much better 2nd half. Good Donegal save, point effort off the post, Donegal go up the field and land a monster 2 pointer. Big swing.. Cannot believe how animated people get with January results

You are the one getting animated.

We must define animated very differently

Who are the ones getting animated?
It's a league competition, in Div2 you'd want to be getting promoted, in Div 1 you'd want to be avoiding relegation. For both those scenarios you need points.

Monaghan have named a weak team to compete at this Div 1 level though might start with named subs Ryan Wylie & O'Toole. There's not enough depth of quality in the county. Hard to foresee a win or draw against Armagh.

Surely Beggan will play? We're light enough ourselves at the minute, a win would be brilliant for us and you's are always a bogey team.

Beggan has not been named on the match day squad.

Have seen them changed before!

Probably the best time for us to play Monaghan without the Scotstown lads back and I'm sure Monaghan will be looking at us and saying the same.

Lets hope the rain stays away at least!

[Main Street]

The league encounters have been close between the teams, I only remember one easy league game for Monaghan  played in Armagh on a saturday evening, whatshisname got sent off for Armagh for soft enough touches on McManus

[DaleCooper]

The monaghan player trying to work a goal threw ball out and Armagh guy got it. Technically Im sure it should be blown for a foul but is there a rule that allows play to continue in interest of keeping things moving?

No complaints prefer the latter, just wondering if anyone knows.

[Wildweasel74]

Conor Lane couldnt count 50m even roughly!!

[thewobbler]

It's only 32 minutes into the  competitive season and the Connacht big two already look like they've been over-training and will be destroyed by injuries before June.

[omagh_gael]

Always very hard to tell the Galway and mayo jerseys apart this time of the year with low sun.

[Armagh18]

Good half from us, hopefully can kick on now and not go to sleep.

[bennydorano]

Very impressive 1st half from Armagh, 0.15 (no 2pts) to 0.4. Had a bit of a breeze but nothing major.

[statto]

Excellent first half from Armagh getting their scores alot handier and some excellent defensive work also. Have totally dominated the Monaghan kickouts.

[armaghniac]

15 points from Armagh in the first half without any 2 pointers. Monaghan look slow, their training did not optimise this game.

[Blowitupref]

Half time Kerry 1-9 Roscommon 1-6. The rossies had a deserved 1 point lead but kerry scored 1-1 with the last two attacks in the half.
