Replying To Matthew: "Not one person here picked Westmeath! Absolutely hilarious…." Indeed. They were clearly confident and there was no reason why Down were 4/9 favourites! Not a single line of form to stand up those taking that price.
I didn't wet my own beak but I'm sure a few punters who ignore the superficialities of the "pundits" did.

Replying To rorysboys: "You're some donegal man. No loyalty" If you look at the top of the page you'll see this is called a 'predictions' competition. It's not a loyalty competition. I'll be delighted to be proven wrong if Donegal win but with injuries we have I just can't see it today I'm afraid.

I'd say Donegal are the one team today that will definitely be keeping one eye on prep for the championship. Should still be interesting game I think.

Derry deserved to win the 2nd game.
I felt Armagh left the first game behind them in that 2nd half tbh. But fair play to Donegal getting those last 2 points.
Who would have thought last year that McGuinness and Harte would be managing the winners of the Div 2 and Div 1 League titles. Certainly not me.
Congrats to both of them.
Looking at both games, I really can't see Derry being stopped in Ulster - think they will make it 3 in a row.
Great days entertainment in Croker and that wind was surprisingly very strong. But other than that, perfect playing conditions.
Approx 33,500 in attendance.

Hi lads, as I mentioned previously I'm away at the moment so won't get a chance to tot up the scores & put together the final leaderboard until later in the week.
But just to confirm the TG4 MOTM's while they're fresh in people's memories...I believe were as below. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.
Div 1: ?
Div 2: Ciarán Thompson
Div 3: Sam Macartan
Div 4: Evan O'Carroll

A great match , went to penalties. Derry won 3-1.

Mc Evoy was MOTM I believe.
Congrats Derry, contenders for sure.
I think Glass was wrong to criticize Conor Lane who had a great game bar
the questionable free given to the Dubls to tie it in regulation and the penalty
given to Derry seemed to be an error but Lane did consult the umpires.

Replying To Cockney_Cat: "Dublin v Derry Dublin by 3. - B Fenton
Armagh v Donegal Armagh by 2 - R Grugan
Westmeath v Down Down by 6 - C Doherty
Laois v Leitrim Draw - R O'Rourke" I scored 0 points in this round. Did anyone else do as bad? My overall score for the competition is also very poor.
Some of you may be thinking 'What would a Kilkenny man about football', but I studied the form and read the opinions of the pundits. Alas, to no avail.

That was your mistake listening to pundits, if the pundits you listened to were anything like the 2 lads on the Sunday Game there the last night then I wouldn't be surprised they'd lead you astray, never heard such a load of oul waffle.
They'd want to get a few of the recent generation of retired players on, fellas that know the craic nowadays, not oul fellas taking about how it was in their day.

Hi guys, the scores from last weekend's matches are below. A reminder of the scoring criteria.
5 points for calling the winner (normal time only) - so if you predicted Derry to win, unfortunately it would not count as the match was in effect a draw.
7 points for calling a draw
10 points for exact winning margin
10 points for MOTM
