Replying To williesboy: "He is in the running for it along with a couple of others. Interviews next week. Other candidates is a successful manager of the older generation and another manger very successful at club level in Connaught." Kevin O'Neill (Corofin) it's is so. Great appointment if true. on the 40 (Longford) - Posts: 156 - 19/11/2021 14:46:14 2390000 Link

Replying To williesboy: "Hasn't even been interviews yet but don't let the truth get in the way of a good story." According to men in the know the interviews are a formality. on the 40 (Longford) - Posts: 156 - 20/11/2021 08:22:34 2390058 Link
Haters will always hate, gloaters will always gloat, both traits are usually displayed by self serving people. The rest try to pull together for the good of friends and neighbours in GAA. The first 2 groups should try it, it's less energy sapping and more rewarding. I have even noted in some winners interviews recently the appreciation and thanks didn't extend much beyond the interviewee. Anyway, narcissism is becoming more common in all aspects across life this millennium, I just hope decency makes a bit of a comeback and wins out and the haters stay away from here, we come here because we like GAA, it is our passion, not our outlet for hate or other unwelcome traits. Best of luck to our champions and representatives Mullinalaghta this weekend, kepp putting in the hard shift and you will do the county proud as always lads. Play hard and play fair. botheyesclosed (Longford) - Posts: 115 - 20/11/2021 09:00:10 2390060 Link
Replying To on the 40: "According to men in the know the interviews are a formality." Same as the hurling appointment so. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 20/11/2021 10:23:10 2390065 Link
Replying To keeper7: "Same as the hurling appointment so." Don't know anything about the hurling manager, who's the front runner. Hope this new sit season might encourage clubs to start investing in underage hurling, no reason killoe, Drumlish, Balkymahon etc shouldn't be opening up to hurling, his knows we might be better at this than football at county level on the 40 (Longford) - Posts: 156 - 21/11/2021 08:39:42 2390131 Link
Embarrassing for Mullinalaghta. Had the game wrapped up at half time then went home! Didn't score in the second half. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1236 - 21/11/2021 14:29:10 2390161 Link

Replying To williesboy: "Straight on to be critical! Typical nonsense" They have to be able to take the good with the bad. Today was bad..... Very very bad. Pull your head out of the sand and give it a good shake Leitrim boy. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1236 - 21/11/2021 15:03:17 2390164 Link
Hard luck to Mullinalaghta. A bit of a 'weekend horribilis' for Longford clubs in general. Bizarre collapse by Mullinalaghta with home advantage against a Blessington side who were 1-5 to nil down after 30 minutes... hard to fathom how Mullinalaghta couldn't register a score in the second half. Killashee beaten to a pulp in Intermediate and Legan beat out of the park in Junior. Hard on all three clubs - a weekend to forget. Focus will now be on the remaining domestic games to decide the destination of this years league titles in Division 1 and 2 next month. 'Football in December' I think they call it.

That was very very disappointing. Can't believe mullinlaghta throwing that game away. Completely on top and then just stop playing. Very unlike them, experts at seeing out wins. Good luck to blessington for the rest of the campaign. slasher9 (Longford) - Posts: 233 - 21/11/2021 18:59:02 2390204 Link

They don't convert possession into enough scores & subsequently leave opposition teams in games. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 21/11/2021 19:37:54 2390213 Link

The county final against Mostrim should've been practically over by halftime. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 22/11/2021 11:55:43 2390292 Link

Any white smoke on managerial front. Pre-season starts in a week or so. Not much time to get a backroom team or panel together. Jack L (None) - Posts: 3099 - 27/11/2021 12:54:03 2390953 Link
Replying To Jack L: "Any white smoke on managerial front. Pre-season starts in a week or so. Not much time to get a backroom team or panel together." Well it won't be Liam Keenan he's going back to where he started his underage football career to manage Slashers. Ward30 (Longford) - Posts: 49 - 27/11/2021 13:43:38 2390956 Link
Replying To Jack L: "Any white smoke on managerial front. Pre-season starts in a week or so. Not much time to get a backroom team or panel together." Can't understand this. Maybe the CB are working very hard in the background to get the right team in place, maybe no one wants the job or maybe this will just be an other CB cluster F Last county to appoint a manager and one of the 1st to know we needed one. on the 40 (Longford) - Posts: 156 - 27/11/2021 14:06:58 2390957 Link
