Replying To Solo_Run:  "Now lads, don't be like that. Wasn't our fault.

I remember it well, was at it. Didn't see it as a penalty "live", of course you don't see replays at the match. Standing with friend, didn't see anything wrong either. Saw the replay afterwards, was it foul technically yes - but it was awfully 'soft' and if refeering like that there would be frees every time two players came in contact. I wouldn't have been happy if given against us, and would have felt robbed.

Besides (1) in the long run you prospered, we regressed but hopefully on the up now - very young though, but talented, and contrary to some opinon here, I don't see them struggling physically - haven't so far against Sligo, Galway, Down and Carlow despite the youth (2) Who hasn't suffered at bad / soft decisions, Over a decade ago we had the clearest penalty I ever saw not given in the closing mins of a championship match vs Sligo to take the lead - it wasn't even close, I'm still not fully over it!!!

Anyway, different teams now, and have been pleased to see your progress back up to Division 2 - shows what can be done."
Ah I dont mean that in any bad way, as in an anti Leitrim way. As far as I remember every Leitrim poster on this site sympathised, and reckoned it was very soft.
But it should definitely be motivation for our lads all the same.

To be fair that Leitrim result probably done us a favour.

It delayed promotion for a year but we havent looked back since.

Away trips are never easy though.

Its own thing i really dislike about the structures, so much comes down to the luck of a draw, home advantage etc
