For the second weekend in a row, Fermanagh finished a game at a numerical disadvantage to their opponents; a situation that their manager Rory Gallagher is adamant needs to be addressed.

The Erne County are still in with a shout of promotion as they face into a winner takes all clash against Longford at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park on Sunday afternoon.

A hard earned draw against table toppers Armagh keeps Fermanagh's hopes of promotion still alive, but they seem to be doing it the hard way as for the second week in a row they had men sent off.

During last Sunday week's defeat to Westmeath, Cian McManus was shown the line and against Armagh last weekend, they finished the game with 13 men as Danny Teague (straight red card) and Aidan Breen (second yellow) were both dismissed.

Gallagher admitted to the Fermanagh Herald that they have to work on their discipline if they are to progress this summer.

"Whatever about Aidan's (Breen), I'm exceptionally disappointed to pick up straight red cards. We don't want in-discipline. The two games we lost this year we lost men in both of them. In the modern game you seldom see 14 beat 15," said Gallagher.
