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.

Leitrim GAA thread - 3 Like(s)
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.

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…..

Westmeath Hurling thread - 2 Like(s)
The system in principle seemed sound, at least the first phase anyway. Westmeath players getting more games and giving the so-called lesser lights a chance to build up a head of steam is a good thing. The first phase there was no issue with the system, bar the failure of certain counties not bothering to fulfil fixtures, which was not the Leinster Council's fault.
The problem is why did the Leinster Council make it this convoluted cross round robin thing for the second phase? I'm guessing it seemed like a great idea on paper, but nobody probably thought it through as to the potential permutations of running such a system in a single round robin format.
The whole set up reeks of the kind of snobbery or elitist mentality that exists in hurling. Like the bigger counties wouldn't reckon the third seeds could do anything to progress. It's like they're saying we don't need to plan out what happens if a third seed beats a second seed, so let's just adopt this cross system unthinkingly because it throws the minnows 1 game, probably the only game, that Laois or Westmeath will have a chance to win in the last round. Pure condescending stuff altogether.
If they'd just ran it as a normal round robin, without this stupid crossover thing, then you win a match on your side and you're guaranteed to progress. If we'd just played a normal round robin group with Kilkenny and Dublin, we'd be guaranteed to be in a Leinster semi final already. This year that means even if you lose your provincial semi final, you still progress to an All-Ireland series and get a chance to play one of the big Munster teams.
It's great beating Dublin at underage. Really kudos to the manager, the team and all the work and support that has been given to this group all along. But I think most Westmeath supporters would be far happier seeing this Westmeath team progress to the knock out phase of the championship rather than just taking a moral victory over Dublin.
If we end up going out through no fault of our own except this badly designed format what message dies that send to young Westmeath hurlers or Laois hurlers if it had been them in the same scenario? You're telling these young Westmeath lads playing for us we can make it through on merit, but then a team who lost to you gets rewarded even if they lose more games. Make it make sense like.
It's really silly that as well as now having to make sure we beat Laois ourselves, we are also relying on Kilkenny doing us a favour and beating Wexford just to make sure this good young Westmeath team gets a shot at more high-level hurling. It's complete nonsense and only speaks of the lip-service that's paid to developing hurling outside the top 10 'traditional' counties.

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.

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

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.

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 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.
