First time in a long time we had a game in December. Pete could have a 100% record with us for 2017. Would be a nice start. 19616609 (Louth) - Posts: 1596 - 15/12/2017 00:22:18 2065217 Link

Replying To OLLIE: "Wrap up well. That place is feckin freezing." Could be some weather there tomorrow, will definitely wrap up well. Been looking forward to getting out of the house/pub all week for this one. louthman57 (Louth) - Posts: 292 - 29/12/2017 20:47:17 2066194 Link
Replying To OLLIE: "Wrap up well. That place is feckin freezing." Should be free umbrellas for first 2,000 in. Any word on Pete's first team. According to The Argus there are a good few new lads. Good luck to them all. 19616609 (Louth) - Posts: 1596 - 29/12/2017 22:42:35 2066205 Link
Well the day has finally arrived. The start of a new campaign with a new manager and new hopes. Best of luck to the Wee County today. OLLIE (Louth) - Posts: 12224 - 30/12/2017 10:38:06 2066230 Link

Replying To OhtobeARossie: "What were ye like saw result but had ye many of percieved starters etc" It was very much an experimental side out. Few lads making debuts too. hit_them_hard (Louth) - Posts: 164 - 30/12/2017 20:44:10 2066311 Link
Replying To OhtobeARossie: "What were ye like saw result but had ye many of percieved starters etc" Disappointing result but at least the rain stayed off. When we got back level with under 10 minutes to go I thought we would push on but Sam Mulroy's injury was a big blow. He was progressing in second half. Hope his injury is not too serious but he looked in a lot of pain. We eased off then and Longford took over. I think (hope) Pete was giving new lads a run but that he will bring others back to reinforce the team. Eight of to-day's starters play with intermediate or junior teams . You can get great players in the lower grades but eight has to be a strain. I doubt if many counties have a similar.situation. Really only Andy McDonnell looked like a "class" player. I'm sure things will improve. Why have we only a hand stretcher in the centre of excellence . The long delay didn't help us or Sam. 19616609 (Louth) - Posts: 1596 - 30/12/2017 21:11:54 2066315 Link
Suspected ankle fracture for Sam Mulroy, setback for him for a few months. Hard to be too downbeat about yesterday considering first game out,let see how the team shapes up in the 1st league match. Willie woods played well, some of the fringe players played ok, a few of the others don't look like they have the skill/strength to make significant impact on inter county football when it reaches a serious level in the summer time. On another separate note for another debate, Darver, what an absolute dump. Parking the car and jumping across puddles/muck/potholes to stand on a unsheltered muddy bank, whoever allowed the money to be pumped in there needs their head examined, but sure nothing we didn't know already. louthman57 (Louth) - Posts: 292 - 31/12/2017 13:20:44 2066359 Link
Embarrassing!! What a hiding we are in for in division 2 this year.And more embarrassing the venue of the game,this county is so behind times it's laughable, On and off the field. gooch13 (Louth) - Posts: 656 - 31/12/2017 20:51:49 2066402 Link
Early days and first day out v Longford who have same mgt team as last year and don't underestimate that. Appeared to be quite a few familiar faces not playing but guess this gives mgt a chance to look at new faces in game scenario. Struggled on our own kick out and Longford did v well on their own kickout (Collumb excellent on restarts with speed and accuracy and hit few frees also). Saying that had Woods scored a goal to make it 2-09 to 1-10 as opposed to a point that made 1-10 to 1-10, would have gone on to win game. Missed at least 3 good goal scoring opportunities. Also, like the concept of getting the ball in quick to inside line but all to often, lost possession with this and thru the hands needs to be mixed in when long not working. Want to be positive but again, we as a county are setting our own standards and while Darver is a relatively ok training facility, it ain't no county ground that will inspire. Look at our opponents home venue, Pearse Park. Still dumbfounded by it. Oh to have a 7500 capacity modern ground housing a prunty playing surface with match lights. Speedy recovery to Sam Mulroy Red2017 (Louth) - Posts: 122 - 01/01/2018 11:03:43 2066418 Link
7500 Capacity, Was barely 150 people in Darver on Saturday. Having a big stadium would be pointless at this stage. Our fellas must have had a good Christmas, training for a month and they are as unfit as any Louth team ive ever seen. Pop Rath gone off the squad already, McGrath wont last till the Summer DundalkGael (Louth) - Posts: 895 - 02/01/2018 09:48:34 2066462 Link

7500 capacity required to get our heads up a bit and reach for the stars and feel worthy. And hopefully have it full for big days ahead but at mo, we settle for muddling around in mediocrity. Quality of teams produced will be limited by the infrastructure that exists today. Any players out there who u think should be on the panel but either for their own reasons or selection, are not there ? Red2017 (Louth) - Posts: 122 - 02/01/2018 14:04:53 2066487 Link
