Replying To anotheralias:  "A win v monaghan secures us only as long as armagh lose to dublin . If armagh beat dublin and kerry and we beat monaghan and lose to dublin then will likely be relegated on score difference as long as roscommon get a point from last 2. If in addition to the results above if ros fail to beat donegal or mayo then it would be a 4 way tie on 6 points, with roscommon the most likely loser on score difference ( but that depends on the margins of victory/ defeat). Ironically if the dubs beat armagh , not only does a result v monaghan guarantee survival, but even a defeat to monaghan for us could still leave us okay on 4 points if donegal were to beat monaghan in round 7. So ironically a dublin result against armagh is more important ( in terms of liklihood of survival) than our own result v monaghan."
One thing you've ignored here is the possibility that Galway can charge up their points difference with a 10+ point win in Monaghan. Five teams so far have beaten Monaghan by 11 points on average. Galway should be heading up there to secure a win by 10+, to bolster our position in case Armagh secure those wins over Dublin and Kerry in the last 2 rounds.

And its dangerous talking about big wins in clones. I would be very happy with a 1 point win and i would say that PJ would take that now if it was offered

5 teams have beaten them by an 11 point average so far. If we're 'happy' with a 1pt win against that backdrop, it suggests that we probably belong in division 2 anyway. Inniskeen I think, not Clones.

The game is down for Iniskeen which is maybe a little trickier?

Replying To galwayford:  "Galway did well to get the draw. Away from home. How many one point defeats have we suffered over the years. I would like to see long range frees takenon the ground, not in the hand.
Onwards and upward."
We were a player up for over half the match. We should have been winning that from the position we were in, not doing well to get a draw. We butchered goal chances. Turned over possession so many times around the middle. Having said that, there were many positives too, especially the new players we have brought through.

They definitely won't beat Monaghan in clones in two weeks as the game is not on there ,,,,,,,,,
