Any predication pools this year?

Fr Tod Umptious

I know people give out, but every Div 1 game live on free TV is great to see.

Very competitive Division 2 this year, especially after Dublin and Derry last year, with an honourable mention to Louth for putting it up to them.

dxhound2005

Lots of local derbies. Meath v Louth, Kildare and Cavan. Louth v Armagh, Cavan v Fermangh, Donegal v Fermanagh. With four Ulster counties a sort of mini Ulster competition. Only Cork is isolated from the rest.

Meath don't have to worry about Sam as they are already qualified. But like all the rest they need to avoid relegation. It is a cruel format with only 7 games to determine two promotions and two relegations from a group of 8.

Derry have started three Glen players tonight short term gain for long term pain for Harte? As expected with 13 of their All-Ireland semi final team Derry are leading Kerry without the Clifford's by 4 points at half time.

MFPM

No need for the Derry keeper to be up the pitch, they've had Kerry's number all night if they lose due to that goal they'll be kicking themselves.

UsBus

Kerry keeper lost that match for them. Kicked at hit and hope point with a minute and a half left on the clock. All they had to do was hold possession and try for a score with the clock up. Derry were always going to run at them for the winner

kerry should be happy enuf... Derry had 13 players from last years semi final.... they look to be flying fit even tho tis still only January... Twill be a fine achievement by Derry if they can maintain the fitness levels they are at til July... especially when ya consider the Glen contingent were going all along with the club...

sligeach

Lovely goal by Monaghan. They go from a point down to 2 up with about 10 minutes to go.

sligeach

Great win for Monaghan. They win the game with effectively the last attack of the game.

MacDanger

Delighted to have the league back, it's a great competition

FrancieBrady

Great wins for Ulster teams today. Delighted for that young hardworking Monaghan team. 5 league wins on the trot against Dublin now I think.

Farrell not being able to mention Monaghan after was puke. They were outplayed fair and square.

Treble double

Best competition in Gaa starts with a bang, it has to be only a matter of time before we have two divisions of 16 played over the summer with the team on top of div 1 at the end of 15 games crowned All Ireland champions. An open draw knockout cup competition for all counties ran in the background. Its the only logical way to run Gaelic Football in this country and drag it away from the prehistoric provincial competitions.

manofwisdom

Monaghan now have beaten the Dubs in 4 out of the last 5 league games, the other one was a draw. Good underage teams the last few years will help greatly to overcome the loss of their pure warriors in their 30s who have retired or not long left.

Lavelle, Mooney, Hamill, O’Hanlon will come on in leaps and bounds after that. Think Mohan still has to prove himself. Great night for the Farney!

dxhound2005

Here is an easy to read list of the fixtures. I see Monaghan are playing all their three home games in Clones. They used Castleblayney and Inniskeen as well as Clones in the past. Galway have one game in Tuam. Limerick are playing their games in Rathkeale. More suitable than an almost empty Gaelic Grounds. But Tipperary are still using Semple Stadium.

Tg4 needs to sort out the camera situation for games. I feel like i should be wearing a jacket to keep dry watching the rain on the screen in the Galway v mayo game

Surely can't be that hard to keep the lens dry 🤔

lillielad

Mayo playing good football at the moment. 3 decent goal chances too.

Its bad alright,mayo playing at a v fast tempo so far. We will see if they can keep it up

Don't know what you could do in Salthill!

Great result for Fermanagh yesterday, a couple of players left the panel too, including Quigley. Kildare look like they could struggle this year.

Cameras wrong side of pitch

MacDanger

A shoulder to the chest and it's not even a yellow

They also need to sort out their sideline presentation. Surely they can arrange a covered area for Micheal O'Domhnail and the Pundits. It's pathetic seeing them standing there with umbrellas.

Fr Tod Umptious

They were in Omagh.

MacDanger

Decent from Mayo but Galway were v poor

MacDanger

Rossies motoring nicely

MacDanger

Harsh enough red, yellow would have sufficed

breezy1985

Edit: No losses for Ulster if Tyrone can see this out.

Comic Book Guy

Tyrone deserved the win but why was the goal ruled out in injury time? Just about a square ball?

dxhound2005

edit.

no Ulster team lost this weekend, in contrast Clare were the only Munster county to win

MacDanger

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121685835#Comment_121685835

Square ball, was tight but definitely inside I thought

dxhound2005

TG 4 brought those fuzzy cameras to Donegal as well.

Fermanagh did v Meath

breezy1985

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121686223#Comment_121686223

Wasn't that a draw. Or is my app wrong again ?

FrancieBrady

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121686223#Comment_121686223

Sorry, saw it as a Meath win somewhere yesterday. It was a draw

How is Kildare v Cavan a local derby?

breezy1985

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121686621#Comment_121686621

Absolutely hate each other.

Goes all the way back to 1935 when the Kildare captain started the rumour about all Cavan people being tight arsses.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121686635#Comment_121686635

Its still not a ''local derby''.

Meath v Louth. Meath v Kildare. Meath v Cavan. Three local derbies for Meath.

breezy1985

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121686640#Comment_121686640

Alright like I was joking.

The other poster said that "Meath have local derbies with Louth, Kildare and Cavan" so its Meath and Cavan not Kildare and Cavan.

dxhound2005

I'm sure everyone here knows, but just in case. And please be kind to Joanne and her guests.

Allianz League Sunday

 Sun, 21:30

28/01/2024 Joanne Cantwell presents action from the opening round of Allianz Football League fixtures, including Galway v Mayo at Pearse Stadium and Tyrone v Roscommon at O'Neills Healy Park. 90min.

FrancieBrady

A great start to the league, not just because Monaghan beat the Dibs. Some good games. Hadn’t realised how much I missed a good GA game

supernova5

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121686930#Comment_121686930

that's because the football league is by far a much better competition than the semi farce they call the championship

FrancieBrady

Different comps with their own attractions. I never really compared them. I enjoy both of them

tayto lover

Me too. Great to see good games over the weekend and amazing that not one of the nine Ulster counties lost.

threeball

Falling asleep watching this Mayo Dublin game. Football is just a series of repetitive patterns anymore. There's none of the moments of brilliance that a sport requires in order to keep peoples interest and stay relevant.
