Replying To DUALSUPPORT:  "I was surprised to see guys predicting 7 and 8 points wins for Tipperary against us, Limerick have beaten Tipperary the last 3 three times at u21/u20 when they met. We beat them well in 2019 in Thurlas and last year we should have beaten them too and we were without Danny Neville too. We also beat Cork in last year's McGrath cup final and we were by far the better team.

Anyway well done Limerick on yesterday's win, I was nervous when Tipperary went 4 points to no score ahead, no panic from them and they got into the game and got the result.

People of Limerick should take note of the job Billy Lee is doing for Limerick football. He took over what was a bad division 4 team and then he lost 4 of his best players Georoid Hegarty, William O'Donaghue and Stephen Cahill opted for hurling and Paul White went overseas for work. He also found it hard to get other lads to join the panel and he had to challenge our county board to look after our footballers better too. Other guys would have done the easy thing and walked but Billy Lee stuck with it and he is starting to put together a team for us supporters to enjoy and follow."
I love stories like Limerick, battling against hurling (which I love) and in Limerick rugby and soccer (my other sport after GAA) and its great to see them putting it up to most teams on most days...Limerick are a county I love following in both codes...delighed to see their hurlers win 2 seniors in last few years...great tradition there despite some barren years since 1973...a few League titles I remember back in the early 1980s as a child...those were the days when teams went out to win the National League...there were no big expectations about what might happen later in the year..you took what was on offer and often rightly so...

You'd expect 4 straight forward wins for Tipp, Cavan, Offaly and Derry respectively.

I think you are being a bit unfair on Wicklow. We threw away our game v Tipp yesterday. A defensive error gifted Tipp a goal and we blew a fabulous opportunity for a goal ourselves. I will agree with you in relation to Offalys win over Limerick and hope yee continue on your good ways. All to play for next weekend.

Very pessimistic over next weekend. We are missing too many of our better players and its showing. Like the limerick match we had decent 1st 10/15 mins and horrible for the next 40 or so. Put ourselves in a very good position with comfortable lead and lost discipline when it wasn't needed. If we are to avoid relegation match we need to beat offaly by at least 3 I believe, last minute penalty was crucial in the bigger picture. To be honest with how we are playing I can't see us winning anyway fullstop

The North section of division 3 is much stronger than the South and I would think the 2 teams that get promoted will come from Div 3 North.... Might be wrong...!!!!

I could see Derry and Cavan getting promoted and Wicklow and either Fermanagh/Longford relegated.

Ah no I would like Wicklow ever since 1991 and ye came so close to putting Meath out of the championship...just Wicklow would generally have two wins or there abouts after 3 rounds of league and I watched them against Offaly and while they weren't that bad the lack of scoring threat upfront in general was a big problem...I know someone has to go down but ide be sorry for Wicklow if it was them..
