Think it's wise to say that there was nothing much won or lost today in Division 1.
Monaghan and Tyrone will both be very happy with that draw as will Donegal and Mayo. Monaghan Tyrone game was played in an absolute storm at Healy Park.
Conditions were similar in Donegals match.
Kildare will be delighted to draw with kerry.
Armagh lead the way in Division one and truly deserve to as they are the best team in the league at the moment.

How in the name of Jehovah can RTE League Sunday deem Kerry v Kildare to be the pick of the Rd1 fixtures?

They didn't. Mayo v Donegal was the live game at 1.45. Kildare v Kerry was deferred.

They can't keep everyone happy. I like the way they didn't do the usual format: Div 1. Div 2. Div 3. Div 4. Clubgames.

You can shoot me upto the top half....l got 10pts.
I.e Sligo..correct result 1point plus correct winning margin 5points = 6points.

Apologies, you had initially put Sligo down for a 3 point win but changed it to a 2 point win.

So your selections were as follows:

Dublin v Armagh............Dublin 3pts = 0 points
Kildare v Kerry.................Kerry 5pts = 0 points
Mayo v Donegal..............Donegal 2pts = 0 points
Tyrone v Monaghan........Tyrone 2pts = 0 points

Galway v Meath................Galway 3pts = 1 point
Clare v Offaly....................Offaly 3pts = 0 points
Roscommon v Cork...........Draw = 0 points
Derry v Down.....................Derry 3pts = 1 point

Fermanagh v Antrim.........Fermanagh 2pts = 0 points
Louth v Laois.....................Louth 2pts = 0 points
limrik v Longford...............Longford 5pts = 0 points
Wexford v Westmeath.....Westmeath 7pts = 1 point

Carlow v London..............Carlow 5pts = 0 points
Waterford v Tipperary....Tipperary 5pts = 0 points
Leitrim v Cavan................Cavan 5pts = 1 point
Wicklow v Sligo................Sligo 2pts = 5 points

giving you a score of nine points.

You don't get the result point AND correct margin points.

Replying To Lockjaw:  "Aye that's probably better.

So one point for getting the result right, 3 points if you predict a draw and 5 points for getting the winning margin exactly right."
This is what you said....1pt for correct result and 5pts for correct margin = 6pts with my calculations. You never stated from the start that you Don't get both if your prediction is 100%

Ah here, if a point means so much to you why don't you take over so? Christ almighty. I'm doing this on my own for a bit of craic.

Rules are:

1 point for correctly guessing the result, ie just calling the winner
3 points for calling a draw.
5 points for calling the winner and the margin of victory correctly.

Thanks to lockjaw for this. Appreciated. I did this for the donegal club championship and it takes a lot of time. So if mistakes are made, highlight but understand he's going through around 100 entries.

Whatever way we do this is fine as long as the same theory is applied to everyone's score.

No one else got both. So as long as everyone is judged by the same criteria, there's no issue.

Thanks for setting up lockjaw. I'm pretty sure I'm on 14 rather than 11…
A draw, one perfect score and 6 other win predictions…

It says 5 pojnts for correct margin, pretty obvious that you wouldn't get 6 .
