Replying To 3rdmidfielder:  "I was in Australia when I set up the account many years ago, im not sure how to change it?

I was at the Waterford game and I was at the Antrim game. I seen bigger crowds at an underage blitz very little positivity in the crowd, i started going to Leitrim matches under the late PJ Carroll there was serious support back then. Serious buzz around Leitrim football. Its not true to say thats the case with this Leitrim team, but good results will bring the crowds, its the same in any county, the Dubs are an example of that. They have fallen back and so has their support.

There was no fire last weekend I am hoping for a good result against Tipp this weekend."

Replying To galwayford:  "Does Irish rugby have a problem or issue with alcohol. A lot of their competitions, Heineken cup, Guinness 6 nations seem to be associated with alcohol companies."

Replying To Jimmymark2:  "Galway well capable of beating Donegal but I would not use that game as a barometer. Gale force wind that evening that favoured Galway in the first half. 17-01 at half time (7 x 2 pointers from Galway in the first half) and 21-14 at the end. Donegal will rest a few due to injuries and giving other lads a run out. I'd say for Donegal it's a case of if the team they put out wins then great, if not so what."

Replying To legendzxix:  "When Mayo were knocked out of Connacht a week after winning the league, their players were released back to their clubs. County players could be released back to their clubs during the gap weeks of the national league. If some counties opt for that approach, it should be no problem without any motion required."

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer:  "Had Donegal beaten in Pearse Stadium this time last year in the 1st half when leading 0-17 to no score. A lot will depend on how serious Jim will approach this game with 8 points and Division 1 status secured. Galways need is greater for this game and are well capable of beating Donegal again"

Replying To Rossfan93:  "Fully agree with the Castlebar game. Though if we get a win Sunday, we have free hits against Donegal and Mayo with no fear of relegation and a chance of making a Division 1 League final. I know the Connaught Championship is the priority but we have time before the New York game unlike other seasons and for players like Diarmuid, Enda , Ronan Daly etc..a Division 1 League Title would something I'm sure they and Mark Dowd will want to add to the CV.

The club fixtures not being posted on the website is a bit of a joke or on any platform. I have a brother playing club football at a senior level (would hope to be in the mix for an inter county shout some day) - a bit of coverage shouldnt be too much to ask considering how strong our club scene is. Hopefully there is an aye on the club scene by Dowd and his management also"

Replying To gbay:  "im saying this along time..
pj and co can not pick a team..

why o why do they consistently play players out of position..

darcy one of best midfielders in ireland named at 14..
all star wing back playing at 6
all star corner back playing at 5.

mulkerrins a natural 3 not playing..

does anyone no if james macloughlin is part of the panel?

cant see a result here and i think relegation will be staring at us in after sunday..

anyways best of luck lads and safe travels to everyone making the journey."

Replying To macca999:  "There is no doubt the county team are staring into an abyss at moment, it has been coming for a while, some recent decisions may have fastracked it.

In terms of county teams results over the last decade at underage level has been the poorest in Ulster, minimal if any victories so to an extent over last 4/5 years Fermanagh have been overachieving to an being in Division 2 and top end of Division 3. Kieran Donnelly probably a bit more appreciated now

This lack of success at underage will eventually hinder senior team progress and that is certainly a factor for the current predicament. For senior team to develop, need 2/3 players adding to it year on year, whereas Fermanagh have young lads coming into senior level who may have not won a championship game at minor/20 level, so zero confidence.

Certainly St Michaels has been huge benefit to Fermanagh football over the years as highlighted by Jimmy and has seen many players come through, though 2 of the most influential from last Hogan Success didnt play any county football since, they pursued another sporting career, Glynn and McBrien.

The standard of club football in the county has dipped too, when look at teams performances in Ulster club championship, wins have been minimal, bar Derrygonnelly in the prime.

In terms of physically, we do seem to be behind in terms of s+c compared with other countys, i know work being down in this area and better facilities are in plan but will take time for this to show any impact.

All above are huge reasons for the current status of the the county team, then the new rules make it harder for the lesser teams, cant go blanket style and need high scoring forwards, which we certainly lack in and ability to score 2 pointers can make gap bigger against strong teams.

Its hard to see where the teams goes rest of the season, management seem to be struggling, ban for Brennan only adds to the problems. Once lost the Wexford game relegation looked inevitable and the Clare defeat essentially confirmed it even that early, winning a game looks beyond them. As posters have said, defence looks very loose, standing off their men, afraid and no physical edge in the team(Cullens huge losses) and devoid of leaders so losing can easily become a habit. In attack play is lateral and slow, a combination of poor defence and struggling attack means one thing only.
Some of the timing of the subs in Sligo game certainly where questionable, dont think the couple of players to come back will change anything either.

Down away, another likely heavy defeat to confirm relegation, then 2 meaningless league games before Ulster champ game v Armagh/Tyrone, doesnt look like will improve any time soon. At moment best outcome at minute looks like getting a point in league and maybe 1/2 wins in Tailteann Cup.

Whats that Take that song? Things, can only ..............."
