Was it just me or were Longford favourites for Leinster?

Good win for Louth against their more fancied Longford counterparts last evening.

The referee was very very fussy to put it mildly, where he got the 5 minutes he added on at the end of the first half and the 6 minutes he added on at the end of the game I'll never know.

AH SURE . Just you . who do ye all think will win provincials ?
for me . CONNACHT- Galway : have a good team and wont be stopped easily . have gary sweeney , jonny duane , tom flynn , fintan o cuirann , paddy sweeney and eric monahan from last years team !

Apparently it was said on here that Longford had 10 or more of their starting team available from last years Leinster final defeat? Surely that would make them favourites?

I'd say Mayo for Connacht anyway.

I'd say Laois rubbish afterall Dublin only beat Wexford by 3 points in the last round.

Have Galway only 6 of last years team left??

ahsure...longford were obviously not favourites...had a decent team but dublin will always be favourites in leisnter...just because you heard one or two things about longford doesn't make them favourites..were missing most of their backline from last year

it's between offaly and dublin i'd imagine, i have seen offaly play, they are a good side, i seen westmeath on wednesday and while they were alot better than carlow a better forward line would have punished them, i haven't seen louth or dublin but i'd imagine dublin are strong but i would not judge them on the laois game as from what i seen of them they were as bad as us

Mayo having a very good pre-season I hear. Westmeath should also be strong now they have Heslin back. Armagh had a handy minor team three years ago, does anyone know if Eugene McVerry is underage for them this year? He was a handy minor a few years back.....

Galway would have to be my favourites though, last years team was one of the best footballing sides I ever saw. Total football full of speed and power, with very accurate forwards. Does anybody know if Danny Cummins is underage this year? Deadly accurate with a serious burst of pace.

Dublin and Cavan should also be strong....

Would be favourites if they had the same 15 & manager this year but they don't.

Who are they missing from last years team? I know Colin Forde is overage, I was wondering is Danny Cummins still available?

Sergeant_Slash (Cavan) - Posts: 2182 - 10/03/2012 20:00:30    1126488

Not sure about Danny Cummins but seen it written else where only 6/7 of last years team remain.

Took a look at the Kerry panel, some top standard players in that panel. They could win munster this year.

Who would you call top standard? James Walsh is the only one that stands out for me. Possibly Kilkenny but too early to say on him yet. Looks like a very average panel to me and some strange decisions in the forwards. I wouldn't be surprised if they are turned over by Tipp tonight.

What about Jack Sherwood at centre back? I played against him a few times at college level and I think hes a class footballer. Also do ye rate Paul Murphy from Rathmore at wing back? I think hes another very good footballer.
