Replying To minor77: "Exactly 2 poor games too many misplaced passes for the world of me i can't understand turloughmore obsession with the short puck outs and taking it into contact and being overturned at least 3 of the loughrea points came from it" Two poor games? Cwell were easily beaten but you can't say the second was a poor game, it was in a very strong wind, in very very strong rain. A bit of context wouldnt go astray.

Saturday week at 6 in PS. In under lights again. Horrendous call by the county board.

Replying To Claretandblue: "Pitch looked in good condition from terrace but prob right call to postpone minor match. Rumours of replay of senior on the bank holiday Monday which would allow minor to go ahead before it as planned today. Senior B final in Loman's on Tuesday night" Highly unlikely the minor will he played on bank holiday Monday.
The downs play mullingar shamrocks in the minor football final on Sunday @1:15pm before the senior football final.
There would be an outrageous amount of crossover of players between the downs & clonkill and plunketts and shamrocks.
Would definitely be unfair to ask these players to play 2 county final in 2 days when there is no rush to get the minor played as obviously there is no Leinster competitions like at adult level

Replying To Mugatay: "Is this game been played on the moon? Shannon side fm constantly dropping .
I was initially fully in agreement with you. Put your €20 towards entrance fees for the league games in February. But this is painful at times" Surprised they even broadcast it tbh, usually a Roscommon u8 winter shield league final would take precedence over anything from Leitrim or Longford on that station.

It'll be a Stacks v Dingle final in Kerry. Mark O'Connor back from Australia for the winter was outstanding today. Next week's final is shaping up to be a battle of Joe v Mark. The winner will go on to Munster. Dr Crokes are out. They needed Mid Kerry to win.

Replying To Stool Pigeon: "As long as I've been watching them, plenty of years now, Turloughmore have been short of a corner forward who can get a goal out of nothing and do little or nothing else. A poacher, if you will.
At the sharp end these chaps make the difference and you can't really get by without them unless you dominate the ball throughout" To be successful at the business end you need an X factor forward for sure. You still need ball winners to get a good share of possession too though.

Just logged on to stream county final. €20 for the match I will stick it on the radio. And keep an eye on other matches on telly. Would have paid up to 15 but feels like county board putting the hand in.
Am I wrong or is this a bit steep for streaming?

A bit of context wouldnt go astray." The weather was poor I admit but that still doesn't excuse some of the basis mistakes made by some very experienced players passing the ball to the opponents when under no pressure and suicidal short puck out from turloughmore

Turlough don't have it. They havent had it for many years. Hence why they fall short year after year for 40 years. Defenders converted to forwards. Jamie Holland taken off second half. Without Walsh frees and 2 from lotus who else scored.
Re the final, the Loughrea forwards Vs the Thomas' backs and the midfield match ups are the most crucial.

Only saw 2nd game turlough such a frustrating team the short 50/50 passes is ridiculous.
I suppose we have to face this is prob lowest quality Galway hurling has been as far as I can remember back to mid 90s.
Hopefully it can be turned around quickly

Replying To WanPintWin: "The two best and proven teams left. Turlough just couldn't make the make it stick up front, and relied heavily on frees to keep them hanging in there. They need to unearth some classy forwards if they're to eventually get over the line.
Loughrea a better balanced team. I thought their workrate was also better, but they have improvement to make for the final. While the goal at the end was lucky, I thought it gave the scoreline a better reflection of the difference between the teams.
Thomas' showed all their experience to get the job done. They're still operating at a high level and have very few weaknesses. It's some achievement to keep coming back year after year, with most of the same group.
Cashel had a good year, but they've a bit to go yet. They have good numbers so the opportunity is there for them to build on this.
Looking forward to the final. Loughrea having gotten the job done last year should stand to them. Thomas' are the masters of county finals, and put their remarkable unbeaten record on the line." As long as I've been watching them, plenty of years now, Turloughmore have been short of a corner forward who can get a goal out of nothing and do little or nothing else. A poacher, if you will.
At the sharp end these chaps make the difference and you can't really get by without them unless you dominate the ball throughout

Plenty of movement between clubs back in the days when clubs were almost about to fold or permanently in junior, we are talking the mid part of the last century if not later and then you have Leitrim people who have made their homes elsewhere and had children there...as an example what might have been in the early 90s for the county team with Colm O'Rourke of Aughavas and John and Des Newton of Annaduff. There'd be a few more Connacht titles in the bag I think. Throw in Kevin Moran of Aughnasheelin...who needs Manchester United when you have Aughnasheelin.
In fact probably be an interesting subject to line out an alternative Leitrim all time 15 with a Leitrim parent/s who lived outside of Leitrim

Yes can give credit to Thomas's for their ability to get into these pockets of space and for the ability of the deliverer of the ball to find them but it happened far too often and would leave you wondering how they managed to reach a semi final not having the ability to mark in a passably cohesive defensive manner.
