As stated above, there is no one with the right experience internal. Open to objection but I don't think we have had a senior manager in the last 20 years from the county that achieved anything with us. Sure we could take a punt to save cash but if they don't get buy in from players and players refuse to commit, any sort of progress made would be for nothing. gaelsboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 551 - 11/08/2024 11:51:18 2564584 Link 0 |
Just talking to ordinary supporters.They liked him and and believed he got great buy in from players brought in a lot of new talent .Above all he changed the mindset of players. I accept this is not the bile expressed by a very vocal minority on this site However, as Leitrim supporters it is time to move on and get behind Mickey Graham and his team. I would much prefer to see discussions about structural changes to improve the development of football in the county.As another poster has said senior managers can only work with the talent they have .That work will have started at least 10 years before a player joins the senior panel. joeman123 (Leitrim) - Posts: 498 - 11/08/2024 11:57:15 2564585 Link 0 |
There's no bile here at all, just people with differing opinions. Sure he is a very likeable chap I'd say, again no one doubting that. I understand you were a major fan but for many 'ordinary supporters' I've talked to that defeat to NY defines his time with us, that is tough but that is the possibility when you take over a county. We all wish Mickey well and we hope the lads can stay in div 3. If he manages to guide that result then that will be a major achievement for us. eslinchickenmaryland (Leitrim) - Posts: 274 - 11/08/2024 12:49:01 2564588 Link 0 |

I don't understand how the NY game defines Moran. Yes it was disappointing but it was in a competition that we never winning (Connacht championship) what defines Moran is that he left us in Div 3 and has put structures in place for S&C etc to be continued. He has done more in 3 years to try and improve things than the county head of coaching has done in the last 20+ years.

Never got to any games the weekend. Is there is 3 or 4 rounds to be played? Fenagh will make it through to the 1/4 finals with a win in the next round.

2 more rounds to be played in Senior. Fenagh need to win the last 2 games. Avoid Mohil and that won't be an issue I don't think.

Yeah we haven't been but we are still a division1 team for the past few years consistently you are division. 3 and have been division 4 for years to until Andy took over and got your s & C up a bit to get you to division 3. I wasn't trying to be dis respectful but you just can't compare mayo to letrim. Andy moran was a good fit for you but wouldn't have been a good fit for any diviosin 1 team not just mayo but he will in the future. You can't blame Andy moran for not getting you up to division 2 as I said you need a shake up from the ground up concencentrate on younger under age players get their S&C up.. Look at Ryan O Donoghue he was running behind his dad's car at 15 at night and early morning to get his s & C up that's what makes the difference S&C.

I'm convinced Square_B and eslinchicken are the same person.

Senior draw for this weekend is harsh on some teams. 4 points will guarantee a q/f spot. 3 points may yet be enough for q/f spot. Leitrim2024 (Leitrim) - Posts: 60 - 12/08/2024 09:48:15 2564705 Link 0 |
Results show what you know

Oh sure we wouldn't be fit for div 2 at this stage anyway. In fairness if that is true about the player you mentioned then it isn't worth it because at the end of his career he will have the same amount of All Ireland senior medals as a Leitrim player. eslinchickenmaryland (Leitrim) - Posts: 274 - 12/08/2024 14:01:14 2564766 Link 0 |
Square_B is definitely using multiple accounts.

I think there needs to be a rule brought in that referees can't ref a senior game if they are also a senior footballer. Leitrimforliam (Leitrim) - Posts: 316 - 12/08/2024 15:44:07 2564787 Link 0 |
Oh do I now? Is it because you don't like what's been said is that it? I've one account and one account only.

Right now Leitrim football doesn't need unhelpful speculation. We need to be as one and back Mickey.

Oh you're 'CONVINCED' are you? How many accounts do you have? I've only the one for the record... I hardly need another now in fairness.

Trying to predict game results is a bit of fun. Don't be so touchy! I look forward to your predictions for this weekend. Leitrim2024 (Leitrim) - Posts: 60 - 12/08/2024 16:11:03 2564793 Link 1 |
Convinced may be coming on too strong. I am about 90% sure. I have one account. Your writing style and patterns, as well as the usage of the same abbreviations, are quite similar to those of the Eslinchicken account. Also, the most of the issues you make are same or quite similar. That being said, I agree with much of what both accounts publish, and the Eslinchicken account postings are entertaining. You both have an unhealthy infatuation with Andy Moran. That being said, I wanted him to leave at the end of the year also. But he's gone now, so let's move on and focus on the future.

I have only one account and I have no infatuations so you are 93% incorrect but thank you for the praise. I'm ready to move on and focus on the Coach Graham era, unfortunately others here are harking back to the near past and how successful it was...which it wasn't. But as the old saying goes 'when the moon rises sideways over Aughavas on a frosty morning then the geese need to be let reap the corn' eslinchickenmaryland (Leitrim) - Posts: 274 - 12/08/2024 16:54:13 2564805 Link 0 |
