The way I see it the division is pretty even and I would not pick anyone to top the group - it is league football!. The group appears vey competitive. Meath have lost a couple of good players through injury and retirement but after that any player is as good as the rest as names are just names. Tyrone will find it difficult to top the group- the found it difficult to beat a very average Meath team in their own backyard last summer. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 22/01/2016 12:48:27 1818472 Link 0 |

Did Armagh not lose Clarke and a few others? I would be genuinely worried for them. Had a very poor championship and seemed to be inconsistent in the Mckenna cup. Cross boys will be missing for a bit of the league too. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 22/01/2016 18:45:25 1818584 Link 0 |
A month ago I would have predicted Galway finishing in the center of the table. Following on from the spate of injuries and people taking time out I think we'll be lucky not to drop to D 3. That's not meant as a criticism of KW or any of the lads, I'm just now seeing any forward movement in Galway football over the last few years and now with the team full of young lads who wouldn't get a look in otherwise, it's a big ask to expect them to go toe to toe with more experienced teams with better players. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 22/01/2016 19:17:35 1818590 Link 0 |
This will be a very competitive league and there are no easy points for anyone. From a Tyrone perspective, we struggled badly against Ulster teams in the league last year, 1 point in 3 games including heavy defeats to Monaghan and Donegal. The other games are all away to the non Ulster teams, Galway always give us plenty of bother away from home, Meath pushed us very close in Omagh last year and we've left Laois with an unexpected defeat in the not too distant past. Any two for promotion between Tyrone, Derry or Galway and Laois and Fermanagh to go down. There may not be a lot separating them all though.

I think we will know more next Sunday, a dreadful day in croke park with myself soaked beyond recognition and the kids too, I witnessed mod loose us a game, until that unmentionable day last June it was the lowest point of my following Meath football, we were outwitted by a tactically astute sideline versus one in disarray, we knew only full well what Armagh would bring and played right into their hands, while at the same time limiting our own performance. It was a shambles. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 22/01/2016 20:16:48 1818595 Link 0 |
One thing I would worry about Meath is the fact that we could easily see 4 debutants next week all in the backline.Thats ok in the O'Byrne Cup,but not the league. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 23/01/2016 16:55:01 1818648 Link 0 |
I'll say one thing people are underestimating Fermanagh this year again they will NOT be relegated they have a great group of hard workin, talented and honest players and add to that a great manager that has really got them playing a style of football that suits them an very hard for other teams to cope with. mr_gaa1 (Fermanagh) - Posts: 242 - 24/01/2016 08:19:29 1818699 Link 0 |
I find it interesting that division 2 always seems to hold more interest for the pundits than the other divisions. Almost like if your in Division 1 interest fades. Nobody seems interested in Div 3 crikey (Australia) - Posts: 355 - 24/01/2016 10:38:01 1818713 Link 0 |
All three pundits on radio 1 tipped laois for relegation today. Suits us fine. We re favourites to go down every year and we have held our own in top two divisions since Mick o Dwyer came. Up the Moore. Malonemagic (Laois) - Posts: 767 - 24/01/2016 21:29:12 1818882 Link 0 |
If we secured 6th place with the last kick deep in stoppage time in our last game I'd be a very happy man. Tyrone to go up, Derry or Galway to join them. Armagh, Laois, Fermanagh and Meath fighting to avoid the drop. JP91 (Armagh) - Posts: 316 - 25/01/2016 10:05:32 1818917 Link 0 |
I'm not sure how anyone outside of Derry & Tyrone can be so confident of not going down. I think Galway are the least likely of the other 6 to go down at the moment but there is still a possibility given how the injuries and the 2 lads who've left the panel. Its such a difficult league to predict, Laois ever year appear to be everyone tip for relegation but they always manage to avoid the drop. Only time will tell.

Agree with Laois lad.. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 25/01/2016 10:42:32 1818936 Link 0 |
Seems to be a general air of agreement that Tyrone/Derry/Galway to battle for promotion. Would have to agree with that assessment. Of the remaining 5, all are quite capable of beating any of the others. From a Meath perspective, we need a min of 4 from 6 in the first 3 games. I'm quite worried about the opener against Armagh as they certainly won't be as open as Longford, and this Meath team doesn't have much physical presence. Up to now, we haven't handled defensive teams very well and we're going to get lots of practice in the near future. If I was to pick anyone to challenge with the perceived top 3, I'd go for Fermanagh or Armagh. Reasoning here is that both have better management who will make better use of what's available. That doesn't leave a whole lot of room for mistakes at the bottom end with ourselves, Cavan and Laois. moylagh (Meath) - Posts: 484 - 25/01/2016 11:34:17 1818967 Link 0 |
