It's between Dublin and Tyrone to win and Donegal Cavan and Roscommon for relegation imo. Dublin with there strength in depth are always strong in the league Tyrone are improving all the time and have a realistic chance of lifting Sam this year, Donegals best days are behind them and Cavan and Roscommon will be competitive but just don't think there good enough for division 1 football Kingoreilly (Kildare) - Posts: 77 - 17/01/2017 13:46:54 1946304 Link 0 |

Any of the six other counties outside Dublin and Kerry could go down ros1 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1211 - 17/01/2017 14:08:25 1946309 Link 0 |
Dublin the only team taking the League seriously, the rest hope to avoid relegation, can't see Kerry going down and Mayo have been a division 1 team I think its since mid 90s so that in itself will be something they want to avoid, Roscommon got caught last year pushing the league and then flopped in champ, Tyrone will play every game but doubt if they want to win league, Monaghan, Cavan will want to get game time and gamelan right for the push for Ulster title, Donegal are in danger with players retiring riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 17/01/2017 14:15:21 1946313 Link 0 |

I'd expect relatively changed teams from Gavin during the league campaign so I think there are points there to be got off Dublin. Particularly in the early rounds. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13692 - 17/01/2017 14:22:28 1946318 Link 0 |

As ever retaining Division 1 status and unearthing a few more options for our Championship 15 is the main goal for Kerry. Anything more is a bonus. TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 17/01/2017 14:29:46 1946323 Link 1 |
I think the only certainty is Roscommon to be relegated, after that and Dublin winning it, its hard to call, is the semis still on this year? Or is it next the scrapped? About time btw. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 17/01/2017 14:46:09 1946332 Link 0 |
1. Tyrone - Always hard to beat in league and think are team to beat this year in general ulster83 (Tyrone) - Posts: 114 - 17/01/2017 14:59:40 1946342 Link 2 |
Royaldunne the semi-finals are scrapped this year. Top two in to the Division one final.

Wouldn't be over surprised if we did, League is not a target this year. Our last two managements broke up over excellent leagues but poor championships. McStay knows he's as good as gone unless we get to All Ireland 1/4s, That's the aim. I don't particulary agree with it but for that reason we wont be taking league as seriously as last and have not training like we did last year. Saying that I fully expect us to beat both Donegal and Cavan and hopefully that will keep us ahead of them.

This is the thing which holds Roscommon back. Complete and utter blind optimism. Ye think yez are way better than yez are. Then comes the inevitable walloping in the championship.

I think we have 4 games at home this year so I'd be hoping we can do enough to avoid relegation. We have some quality coming through and it'll be interesting to see how they step up to senior football. There are places up for grabs on the Donegal team so ideally what I'd like to see from the league is a good few of the younger lads putting their best feet forward in terms of securing a championship place for themselves.

Thanks for that Ollie. Not before time, the most ridiculous thing ever

I dont think aiming for a quarter final place is to much to aim for, it might not work out but every team has to have a target. Off course it is completely ignored that roscommon were missing more then half the best team in the championship but anyways i think you should talk to the Tryone poster who thinks no team will come near there team this year about having blind optimism.
