Fermanagh also never complain about pick and they have the smallest in the country. We should have had a decent team out against Longford yesterday and conceded today's game. if people start criticising players who want to mark a special private occasion no one will show up. today is no better than a challenge game of a tuesday evening. all i will say is it is a shame we are letting that crowd consistently embarrass us year on year. hylandfan (Leitrim) - Posts: 16 - 12/01/2020 18:23:07 2259157 Link 0 |
Its a bad sign when a couple of lads cant miss a game we were always going to lose anyway.its not Terry's fault just pure lack of talent in this county Zucker (Leitrim) - Posts: 79 - 12/01/2020 19:41:36 2259190 Link 0 |
That was brutal to watch today. Roscommon out smarted us all over the field. Walked 5 or 6 of the handiest goals they'll probably ever get, by numerous defenders who just looked like they had no idea what was happening or how to do any thing to halt it. Every thing we did was so slow and laborious, that's going to be the biggest shock now that we not in Div 4, the different pace of the game and so much less time on the ball. Every time we go on the ball the Rossies picked our pocket and we were standing there wondering what just happened as they trotted off up the field to register another score. Even Paddy Maguire was made to look very ordinary......not something that can be said of him to often. Here's hoping for a better display in Celtic Park in 2 weeks time.

To suggest Terry Hyland doesn't have what it takes is an idiotic comment. Look at the job he done with Cavan underage and senior. Fave the facts that Roscommon are miles ahead likewise Galway and Mayo. If Leitrim are to improve underage coaching structures need to be implemented and reviewed every 6 months minimum. Leitrims promotion last year cannot be underestimated how big an achievement it was. Focus has to be division 3 and the A Ireland B. Connaught is not in their plans as at the moment it's not realistic. For this year and the next anyway. GaaGaelic (USA) - Posts: 2 - 12/01/2020 20:00:15 2259199 Link 0 |
should be a review of underage coaches too. Have they brought players to the levels one would expect. Do we need new coaches or additional ones etc. Today's result was poor but the capitulation against Longford u20s yesterday was far far worse in my opinion. Longford should not be out of sight like they were at that age group no matter what players we had missing.

Didn't score half enough goals today Rossie2020 (Roscommon) - Posts: 106 - 12/01/2020 20:37:46 2259216 Link 2 |
That's what I was implying that the underage structures need to be reviewed, seminars from top coaches for club coaches underage should be a regular occurrence

it was nearly as bad as your game against Mayo in the quarter finals in 2017

Some of the coaches we have had over our underage teams over the past few years have been a complete joke!! You reap what you sow.

Wide open spaces doesn't limited teams! They're found out. No hiding place you see! That's why mayo scored goals for fun as did Dublin's second string!!

"Nearly"?? Maths obviously not your strong point. We bet he by 8 more points today than that game you mention.

Shocking result regardless what team was out. Surely hyland could have went ultra defensive and at least kept the scoreline respectable. I think we got very lucky last year with results and that papered over cracks. Antrim, wicklow and limerick were all lucky days out for leitrim and now we are facing some big teams who have had a few bad seasons but have turned it around namely cork and Derry and unfortunately we have these two games first. It will be a big blow to confidence if we loose both and we could go on to loose all div 3 games which would be tough to take. harleys (Leitrim) - Posts: 296 - 13/01/2020 08:54:59 2259298 Link 0 |
Crazy that leitrim fans calling for managers head again, it cannot always be the managers fault. This is a man that has gotten cavan to division 1,an all ireland qf, ,multiple u21 titles, multiple club titles and dragged leitrim out of division 4. Maybe Leitrim fans need to look closer to home for the answers. The culture within the county is very smalltime, not willing to put in the same efforts as serious teams. Always running to the 'small county with small pick' line, nobody is expecting to compete for all irelands but it shouldnt be expecting to much to as tough as competitive as teams like Monaghan/Longford/fermanagh etc who have similar picks Ask yourself, Would any serious team have lost so many players to a stag so close to the league starting? Not a chance Pullhard1985 (USA) - Posts: 68 - 13/01/2020 09:52:51 2259311 Link 1 |
was at the game yesterday, i struggle to see any positive that can be taking from it. lads missing is well documented but certainly lot of lads played that will be playing league football in 2 weeks time. McKiernan is goal was poor, has to be said his distribution is his achilles heel and it showed up again yday. P Maguire tried hard but looked more sluggish than normal. Reynolds roasted in the corner, aidan flynn id say had a good battle with his marker but thats a rossie that prob wont even be in the 26 for league games, stil scored 1-3 or 1-4. management very naive with flanagan in midfield, once that man picks up a yellow, you either take him off or take him out of traffic, neither was done and I'd say he didnt last 3 minutes before getting another yellow. very disapppointed with conor dolan, big step up from club to inter county and he struggled badly. Its harsh but im being honest, were miles off. at half time the rossies were out on the pitch running the subs from the 45 to the end line, we had 2 bucks out kicking a football. we dont need to be beating the neighbours but jesus a 30 point hammering is unacceptable. journeyman11 (Leitrim) - Posts: 47 - 13/01/2020 12:21:24 2259364 Link 0 |
