Here, things are looking a bit bleak around here.

We need our Morale Officer to sort this out. It was @Dinny wasn’t it?
I think it was me but I'm broke, I'm washed out I tell ya, throw me in the garbage and walk away............ don't even look back.......... :(:(:(:(

It’s all well and good players saying they let geezer down but heading down to Meath and playing into a gale in the first half... that’s setting a team up to fail from the outset. Then taking off soupy when he hit 3 points in the second half- granted he missed a few but replaced him with a half back?

Sometimes you have to wonder with all the men standing on the sideline- where on earth some of the decisions come from.

With the players we have- we are better than Clare, tipp, Fermanagh, cork and should be competitive against Kildare, Donegal and Meath. I would like to think we should win 3 of the next 4 games and finish the league with 8 points especially with 3 of these games being home games.

Yes can definitely win the 3 but just as easy lose them - great test for the lads on Sunday. Agree about some of the decisions in Navan, but we don't know the inside track - injuries etc. Here's hoping it's not just nodding heads along the line!

I’m not too worried about this weekends result as I still think the teams to go down will be Kildare, Clare or ourselves.

5 or 6 points will probably be enough to stay up and the taking 3 or 4 points from the last two games v Fermanagh and Cork will be enough. Obviously getting points before then would help but we need some players back and I’d rather not panic and rush a player back too soon. Just win the final 2 games and we should be OK.

Here, what’s the deal with deciding places in the table?

If two teams are level on points, does it go on that stupid ‘head to head’ thing?

what should the rule be in your book ?

+\- scoring difference. At least everyone knows where they stand.

Say for example, those two Clare goals beat us by a point. If us and Clare finished on same points total, our scoring difference was +30 and Clare was -30. Clare would stay up having got a flukey win against us, even though our scoring difference was far better over the 7 games.

Jarly og Burns had a cracking sigerson campaign, very calm on the ball, great fielder (especially from kickouts- exactly what we need) and scored some long range points. Think some of the criticism he has received was harsh, will be interesting to see how he develops .
Yeah but our supporters expect so much more than those following a bunch of school kids!!

Ok all joking aside, he's a potential star, all star even, but will be be allowed to express himself if all we are told about the management regime is to be believed?
