A big well done to Roscommon and of course to Down, hope we're playing the Rossies over there next spring, it's been too long since I was there :D realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8678 - 05/04/2015 18:47:27 1710884 Link 0 |
Congratulations to Roscommon and Down on promotion - no reason why they can't stay up next year . Hardtimes (Cavan) - Posts: 1056 - 05/04/2015 18:55:51 1710891 Link 0 |
I'm a proud Down man tonight. Well done to the players and especially to Jim McCorry. An excellent achievement in his first season in charge. Congratulations to Roscommon too. Really looking forward to taking them on in the final, we owe them one after our recent league encounter at Newry. MourneArmy (Down) - Posts: 1787 - 05/04/2015 19:03:17 1710898 Link 0 |
Division 2 is not the end of the world, Donegal got to an All Ireland final from there last year. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 05/04/2015 19:21:05 1710914 Link 0 |
We have come a long way since April 2010 when Wexford relegated us to div 4. Underage success has obviously played a big part in our rise to div one but it still takes a good manager to lead such talent on the right road and in John Evans we have that now. ispeakwisdom (Roscommon) - Posts: 2487 - 05/04/2015 20:30:47 1710980 Link 0 |
Was in Newry today. Good performance from laois to score one fifteen without our best player donie Kingston. Some of down s forward play was brilliant. They always seemed to have a man on the shoulder and took their goals brilliantly. good achievement for laois to maintain our division 2 status again as we probably more of a hurling county at present. Highlight was the win v roscommon. Malonemagic (Laois) - Posts: 803 - 05/04/2015 20:49:40 1710996 Link 0 |

Fair play to laois staying up again after been written off . Disappointed for our neighbours kildare was at all of laois games and they were not the worst team in the divison . Have to say down best team in the divison by a mile tawrificlaois (Laois) - Posts: 43 - 05/04/2015 21:05:04 1711018 Link 0 |
Well done to Down & Roscommon on emerging from a tough division. Well done to galway too on beating us convincingly today, They will be a dangerous team in the summer. Very Disappointing league for ourselves, We are in a bit of a mess and our performances have been all over the place and not good enough to stay in the Division. A lot of soul searching needed, and we need to find a midfield, we practically conceded midfield in every game before a ball was thrown in, by kicking every kickout short or to the sideline and invited far too much pressure on in every game.

Congratulations to Down and Roscommon. Hard luck to Meath, like ourselves probably not quite good enough to go up . s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5520 - 05/04/2015 21:39:11 1711052 Link 0 |

I have been to all of Roscommons national league games and here is what I have seen from the seven teams they have played, I know I have only seen each team once and on a few occasions if a review was written on Roscommon it would not be great, I would be interested to hear feedback from each county on my remarks and I am not setting out to insult anyone, so in the order we played them, giveballaghback (Roscommon) - Posts: 296 - 07/04/2015 21:56:40 1711856 Link 0 |
giveballaghback: From a Meath perspective, that's a pretty good summary. Best of luck to Rossies in championship and life next year in Div 1. moylagh (Meath) - Posts: 485 - 08/04/2015 10:09:47 1711894 Link 0 |

So laois and galway could beat nearly anyone in the country yet Westmeath, who beat laois and gave Galway a great game, are the worst team in the division by a distance in your opinion. Oh right. square_ball_69 (Westmeath) - Posts: 826 - 08/04/2015 16:56:45 1712180 Link 0 |
How could anyone argue that Westmeath weren't the worst team in the division? BIG SACKS (Tyrone) - Posts: 1681 - 08/04/2015 17:05:00 1712183 Link 0 |
I didn't see it coming but credit where credit is due to Roscommon on gaining promotion. TBH when you look at their team/panel lads that have won club All Ireland with Brigids 2012,Minor All Ireland winners 2006,numerous Sigerson cup winners with Sligo IT,DCU,UCC and loads of players that have played in recent U21 All Ireland finals 2012,2014 i and many others have underrated Roscommon.

I only saw each team playing once as I said at the start so what I wrote was based on one game, I said about my own roscommon that they had a couple of dismal performances and if anyone was writing an assessment of them on any of those poor performances it would not be good, as I said no insult intended to any county and lets hope for a championship run from div 2 teams. giveballaghback (Roscommon) - Posts: 296 - 08/04/2015 18:37:28 1712211 Link 0 |
I am genuinely shocked that the worst Down team in 20 years has made it into Div 1. A sad indictment of modern football. artisan (Down) - Posts: 1794 - 08/04/2015 19:52:47 1712234 Link 0 |
