Replying To MayoDan:  "Well from what I see on Roscommon forums, they don't rate Andy Moran as a manager and don't rate many of the Mayo players.."
They'd be right

It was abd still is a great place for discussions but you probably have contributed much to it thanks for that seeing as you only 94 posts please. Thank you."
The absolute irony of this post…..

Replying To anotheralias:  "Am i he only one who thought the penalry was very soft and definitely not a black card. The leitrim player barged in and it was a collision of bodies which arguably was a penalty but how the ref have seen that as a deliberate drag down?"
It was a very harsh black card. Flaherty came out and stood his ground. Not much else he could have done except get out of the way and let McLoughlin through for an open goal. McLoughlin ran into him, rather than Flaherty taking him down.

This forum used to be a great place for genuine discussion, with plenty of thoughtful contributions. Recently, however, we've seen an influx of so-called Leitrim supporters, some of whom have made questionable and, at times, arrogant remarks about neighbouring counties. Leitrim is a proud football county, but it's clear that many of those now commenting probably haven't been at a Leitrim game in years.
Turning to yesterday, huge credit must go to the players and management. I've said it before, but it's a serious achievement when Leitrim can push teams like Galway, Mayo, or Roscommon and make them work hard for a victory. It's been a long time since I left a Connacht Championship match thinking "what if" - too often in the past the game was effectively over after 20 minutes.
It was great to see all the interaction with the young children and players after the match.
So fair play to what is a very young team. Hopefully this is something to build on, and that this group of players can stick together and develop over the next few years.

Is that right Dave? He was actually very gracious in defeat. Maybe give his interview a listen back?

Replying To 3rdmidfielder:  "Credit where credit is due, Poacher, St Ledger and McGrath has a serious job done on this Leitrim team, they were left with a mess at the end of 2024, now they are better coached, they play with confidence, they play with a bit of aggression, they are playing for the manager, the age profile is so young they can only get better, I hope people get out in big numbers during Tailteann Cup, the players and the management deserves the support. Up Leitrim."
Very true.

Galway brought in 3 All Stares to win the game.

Leitrim brought on 3 U20's.

The future is bright if they stay together.

Replying To preddan:  "It would be a total injustice to westmeath if they were to go out on four points while a team with barely two points could qualify from the other group to reach a semi. It's ridiculous"
There is no doubt this championship was designed by the bigger counties to suit themselves and supported by counties who are football dominated. These people have no interest in promoting hurling which fantastic people in Kildare,Offaly,Carlow,Laois and ourselves are striving so hard to do while the suits tick boxes.

Savage achievement for Michael Cusacks to win the Division 1 Feile title for the second year in a row. A couple of very good young Gantley lads on the team.

Will be interesting to see how the 3rd and 4th ranked counties get on today, yes that implies I consider Leitrim to be in the top 2 teams with Galway in no particular order.

Thoughts on yesterday

Black card and penalty was incredible harsh. Could have been a free out for charging directly at Flaherty.

Saying that, we were asleep for the rebound off the post.

For the rebound off the penalty, we left the guy that scored unmarked. Asleep again.

Gleeson nearly cost us with those crazy kick outs. Ridiculous.

Shane was flying when he came on. Looked to have slimmed down a bit and showed pace I thought he might have lost.

Sean Kelly was moving well when he came on.

We were sloppy overall. Lacked concentration.

No harm to go to a Connacht final like that. There'll be no over confidence on our side.

Rossies we're good today. They couldn't miss. They have those type of forwards that can rip you apart on their day. Saying that, Mayo looked terrible. So much space for the Rossies.

All to play for

Replying To jobber:  "A superb performance and well done to all concerned.Now its simple go to Portlaoise and win never ever easy. We will need the same energy and determination next week.
Nevertheless we cannot get away from the sheer stupidity of the organisers of this competition who made us play two knock out games to get to this group and now we could end up on four poits and eliminated."
It would be a total injustice to westmeath if they were to go out on four points while a team with barely two points could qualify from the other group to reach a semi. It's ridiculous

Thank you. Nice to have genuine football supporters in this forum from the big two not wannabe ones. Thanks so much.

Replying To Claretandblue:  "Utter nonsense. Our minors last year played games against very weak teams like Wicklow which served no purpose when it came to the sterner test in the knockout stages, one game against a Tier one opposition and we were eliminated, this year we have had gradual increase in difficulty with the Kerry game, then Offaly being a tougher challenge before we secured three matches against Tier 1 opponents, losing to Kilkenny didn't mean campaign was over as in previous years and yesterday showed that, we now face Laois looking for our fourth win, none of which came against Wicklow or Kildare who are very weak at minor. Ask the players what they think of the system and you'll get total approval. If you're that bothered contact Leinster council"
You are the one spouting nonsense. Firstly the 2025 minor championship has nothing to do with 2026 as the vast majority of the players are not eligible. If you have to seed teams it should be done on the basis of under 16 results.
Secondly any team entering any championship should do so on a level playing field which is clearly not the case as Kilkenny,Dublin,Wexford and Galway a non Leinster county were GUARANTEED THREE games, Westmeath were guaranteed ONE against another non Leinster county with a game under their belt.

I have spoken to players. Have you?

They are as young men shocked by this ludicrous championship where you dont play any matches against the teams in the group they are in.

Name me one successful championship run on this basis.
You are defending the indefensible and it appears to me you doth protest too much which opens up many scenarios as to why you are so aggressive in its defence.
