Was at the game today. Very poor game. I know a very young team but need to stop the passing over and back and try be more direct. Also no excuse but I'm nearly certain that there number 4 received 2 yellows one in first half and one in second. It could made a difference as was quite early in the 2nd half but didn't deserve to win with the performance today

I won't, promotion might not really have served us in the long run just yet, it's a very new team and yo-yoing again won't say that we are actually improving. As stated we still seem to have the same old problems.
But the managerial cycle appears to be 2/3 years in a role then move on so no guarantee Poacher will get the chance to continue the rebuild

He should have been sent off before half time.

I read some of the comments here last week and I couldn't believe lads were saying we would be beating Tipperary and Longford, treating games as gimmes.

Lads must be new to supporting Leitrim because we can't be that arrogant to even think that should be possible

Now we have another year of no promotion.

You registered specially to say that? Why wouldn't we be confident of beating these teams, teams we have bet before. You seem to be mixing up arrogance with confidence. No team would ever win a game at all if they weren't confident, and at Division 4 there's much of a muchness between most teams on any given day or any given year.

I'd say you're really someone masquerading as someone from Leitrim being honest.

One word for yesterdays game, Shambolic, Did the sideline Gurus, actually believe at 10 points down all would be grand in the second half, ????? You can never depend on wind advantage being there, Why oh why wasnt Barry put on after 15 minutes??? Antrim owned midfield from the Throw in. We were out muscled, out thought, and out played. Immaturity showed but management completely failed these young lads. No direction, No Plan, Admittedly Div 3 would come too soon for this group,but this was atrocious.

I'm going to try and bring a proposal through my club to county level that the allocation of inter county referees should be random and not as currently is. All the top referees have the division 1 games and the new and experimental ones at inter county level get the division 4 games.

Why can't we get the top referees?
Aren't we all equal and striving for the best for our respective teams.

Aren't we all masquerading here? Am I not allowed to create a profile like the rest on here? I enjoy reading the comments here for the most part without posting but decided to create an account when I saw a huge level of arrogance coming into play after a very lucky win against a desperately poor London side. That is not who Leitrim people are.

It was not confidence on show, it was solid arrogance. It was oh we are on our way to Croke Park, completely discounting teams that have beaten better ones in the division compared to us.

Now we pick through the embers of being in 2027 in division 4 again. And probably not winning another game this year. But hopefully I am wrong.

I have often wondered the same thing myself; always some useless flowery rubbish from him/her.

As regards the result, I was upbeat that Antrim could be taken by 3-4 points. It wasn't to be. 2-20 is a big score to concede, especially at home, something wrong there.

Hopefully, they will keep the heads and consolidate a strong mid-table finish. The last thing you want to see happening is defeats to Longford, Tipp, and Carlow. I expect the latter to prevail over Leitrim as Carlow is going well, but Longford and Tipp are both beatable. However, I think that there'll be just a kick of the ball in it either way in these two games. Hopefully, Leitrim come out on the right side of that kick.

I seen that too but he definitely got one in the second half I'm 100% on that. It was just right in front of the stand I'd say no more 10m into the 2nd half

Anywhere in the 6 is a tough place to go and get a result, if you'll excuse the intrusion. More than just the elements against you. We have to go there next weekend.
