Where are all the Andy Moran naysayers now?

Where are all the guys who knew it all and the bit with it?

Up Mayo! And up Andy Moran.

What a magnificent day in Ireland yesterday, even though I was thousands of miles away.

I want to join with every Leitrim Supporter in congratulating Andy Moran on his incredible achievement in leading Mayo to win the All Ireland.

I would hope Square _B would be man enough to say his judgement about him was totally misguided.Even Joe Brolly is singing his praises today.

Any thought on the championship draws tonight. The draw seem led quite balanced. No team got a handy draw and no team got creased either

Replying To bláthach:  "Any predictions for the league this evening please everyone? We need to focus on the club scene immediately and see can we find any gems there coz to be honest folks we are not that far off. As I previously intimated here earlier this week, please check back at your convenience so millions Connacht football is at an extremely low ebb so we could win the thing. Our champions were beaten off the field this evening in clones thank you so much. I genuinely thought they would win as it was eminently winnable but the ease with which they were brushed aside by not even near the best team in Ulster indicates that the standard in Connacht is pathetic. Thank you all for agreeing with this."
Ah great to listen to people who know what their talking about, or don't know what they don't know.

Replying To ohwow:  "Connacht football at a very low ebb and the proof is in the pudding, the big two are at their poorest in a couple of decades, maybe even since the early 90s. You could see that from Galways performance against us in the semi finals and also Tipperary have beaten Sligo in the teacup today.

Probably the poorest Connacht championship since 2019, which in itself was very bad."
Never mind that Any Moran boyo.

I'm find it hard to see where Aughawillian will pick up a win. (Ballinamore, St Mary's, Mohill & Allen Gaels).
Mohill might struggle at the start, especially if there's suspensions from the 3 red cards they got in their final league game.

At Intermediate, the first game between Annaduff & Gortletteragh could be telling.
Any information on where Annaduff and Dromahair will be playing their home games?

Any Morans? Yes plenty with that name in Leitrim. Don't know what relevance that has with anything

Speak for yourself Joe. It wasn't one bit misguided Joe. I only care about my own county and so should you instead of fawning over others.

Bit of a baffling comment there, why isn't the poster entitled to her opinion? Moran didn't exactly pull up trees with us. And he has been steeped in luck to have taken over a decent group of players at a time when Dublin are at a low ebb (still making semi finals mind you), Kerry are not the force they were and the Ulster teams have exhausted each other trying to win their own province. Doesn't take away from the fact it was a great victory for Mayo though

Fair Play to Mayo. Delighted for them but the envy is there when you come back to your own quarters. As someone pointed out, we beat Louth in the league 6yrs ago, Wicklow win the Tailteann against Down, we had an All Ireland winning manager unbeknownst to us albeit cutting his teeth at the time. (Nice to hear Andy's reference to John O' Mahoney - for some reason, it reminded me of Ray Silke mentioning Shane McGettigan in his speech in 1998)
In terms of our year, We had a great flash in the pan against Sligo, gave Galway a good rattle but we so needed that big win and Connacht final outing for that serious shot in the arm.
At the end of the year now, It can feel like we are still in the same rut.
Anyways, I really hope the teams supporters are up in numbers come the league - Poachera and the players deserve it, and I would love nothing more than to be drawn against Mayo in Castlebar for the first round of Championship '27.
Get practicing the 2 pointers !
Hoping for a competitive club championship.

Furthermore, remember that great U20 victory v Mayo in 2024.
Darragh Beirne was playing that day.
We have to think for big days out..Why not us?
