I don't care how we do it so along as we get out of div 3! we won't improve as senior team until we play the top 16 teams regularly.

We had a good start in last year's campaign, beating Monaghan and Meath, only for both to go up ahead of us.

Our McKenna cup form is very encouraging and the return of Gearoid McKiernan to the panel will be a big boost.

Wouldn't necessarily agree that it's 2 from 3 but would be disappointed not to finally gain promotion from this division.

Would swap promotion for a win next Saturday night, but wouldn't argue with both ;)

Promotion in the league is achievable but beating Tyrone couldn t see it.i d imagination it will be a wee bit like a haybarn in a hurricane Tyrone are a different class .

Have a feeling Wexford will gain one of the promotion spots they aren't div 3 team really, while ourselves and Cavan will fight it out for the other spot.

Hope your tipping is better than last Sunday when you tipped Monaghan to win by 6 points.

Monaghan weren't missing any. They had 15, same as Cavan.

Roscommon will walk through this division,Cavan should go up with them,but they were in pole postion last year after 3 games beating the top 2 us and Meath,but finished well off the pace even with GMcKierain playing, so i wouldnt be surprised if the choked again.

This division is alot weaker than last years so that should help them.Wexford,Sligo,Limerick,Offaly could be in the running.

So you're tipping 6 teams to be in the run for promotion 'hardcore'....Very brave.

If Fermanagh manage to win a game I will be pleasantly surprised, there is a horrible dearth of talent in the county at the minute.

Can't work out how you think we'll walked this div? little between the 8 sides TBH. Fermanagh were unlucky not to gain promotion last year why the dip this year?

The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3759 - 21/01/2014 21:25:02    1534944

Cavan,Wexford for promotion i reckon.

like everyone can see it being between 3 teams being Cavan, Roscommon and wexford. For some reason i think Limerick are going to throw a spanner in the works by taking a good few points in there home games.

For us its impertive that we get at least 4 to 5 points from our opening three games. that would mean beating at least one of the other two teams that i think will be there or there abouts. Roscommon for me would be the strongest of the three and then its 50/50 between us and cavan.

We have some seriously good youngster breaking through from the side that won us leinster u-21 in '11 and should have done last year only for a disatrous first half against longford. Keep an eye out for colm kehoe he for me is the next best thing since mattie forde the kid is gifted

Any of the teams is capable of beating each other on any giving day,,8 or 9 points might see ya trough ,its that close

liffo (Offaly) - Posts: 649 - 22/01/2014 15:20:49    1535196
