Replying To Magpie2:  "Totally irrelevant. I neither hate the English or love them. We are talking about sport. Cheering for France was daft and shows that certain people store bitterness and hatred in their hearts.
It has to be remembered that atrocities were performed by all sides, IRA, Loyalists and British soldiers. Thankfully the dreadful violence ended many years ago and now there is peace.
The bottom line is that if England won we would be six nations champions. To cheer for France means you would be wishing ireland to finish second.
How stupid is that.
High time to Bury the dreaded hatchet."
Grow up, cheering for France means not cheering for England. So if we cheered for England does that mean we hate France? On the killings in the North you mention IRA first just like media outlets. Blind eye took from you to IRA killings back in 1916 and you got your peace, the North didn't. Three important letters, ABE.

Replying To Beelzedub:  "Great first half from Niall Scully
Top performance from him
Keep it going, Dubs were hungry there
More of the same needed in the second half"
How Jarly Og got black carded for the half time incident and Scully got nothing was a bit baffling.

Replying To Magpie2:  "In the pub I was in there were loud cheers every time England scored.
It's not that they have a love of the English.
It's simply a matter of wanting Ireland to be six nations champions. It's not rocket science."
The boys of Wexford aren't what they once were.

Hoping we get over the line today don't fancy having to beat the dubs in the final game to stay up.Teams are getting stronger latter part of the league,Kerry yesterday,Armagh too so expect a tough battle from Monaghan as well.

Replying To Magpie2:  "Why say " come on France"
As you well know if England had held out in those last few seconds we would be champions.
Do you hate the English that much that you would prefer France to win. Even at our cost?
I, like the majority of right thinking people was cheering and hoping that England would win and land the big prize for Ireland.
To think otherwise is silly in the extreme."
No right minded Irishman cheers on England, if they beat France so be it but don't cheer them on.

Leitrim won't get an easier win than that all year. We are going no where fast apart from across the pitch. Just when you think we have turned a corner…….

Would your opinion of the English be the same if you lived in the six counties all your life?

Replying To MonaghanMan44life:  "The worst half of football I've seen all year.."
Grim. -60 or thereabout scoring difference. Maher had the freedom of the pitch. No one laid a glove on him.
Monaghan never on top at any point over the 70+ minutes.
Senior players know they haven't a hope. Newer players too small or not clued in at all.
They look totally demoralised.
Eddie Walsh getting his usual 5 minutes when the game is over. What is the point of a substitution like that?
Guys getting 30 minutes and then taken off.
Are they any direction from the management about how to play at all because it's the same week in week out.
It looks like a shambles.
For once I'm not really looking forward to the next game or the championship.

Ray Connellan on the pitch with the players before and after the game and also siiting with the subs/squad players in the stand.Comments like "he was nowhere to be seen" are idiotic and baseless.
Job done today and a good spread of scorers so on to Wexford next week for a winner take all game.Great to see Conor Dillon back on the pitch.

Replying To Kickitout:  "Happy with win but thought Galway should have kicked on and try win by more unless I'm reading it wrong if Armagh beat Kerry ( I think they will at home ) Galway can loose by 3 and stay up loose by 4 and they gone I might be wrong with that ,"
Correct. Would have settled for any win this morning but looking back some bad decisions cost us not taking opportunity to win by more and giving us a real buffer against Dublin.

Replying To TheBarrowLad:  "A Fenagh man scoring a goal for London against Carlow tonight"
It could happen again next Sunday as Leitrim's forwards are likely to include 3 Fenagh men (O'Rourkes X 2 and McLoughlin).

Very impressive victory today.
.
half playing with the strong wind the lads really turned it on scoring 1.18 to 0.6 for Clare.
The 2nd half was a different story as Clare dominated for most of the way.
We managed to keep them at arms length and was a nervy finish.
A few mistakes were made in that 2nd half gave Clare a chance to get a win which they wouldn't have deserved.
This team have come a long way in a year and to be in with a realistic chance of promotion to division 2 is brilliant.
Hopefully we get a huge crowd in the park next Sunday and become the 16th man.
The team really need our support.

Replying To Square_B:  "Great win today even after what has come before it. We should now be looking to close out our league season with a win in Carlow. No prisoners. Preparation for 2027 should have started already and there's no reason why we shouldn't be fighting for promotion."
The difference in attitude today was huge. Brilliant to see. Hope Barry is ok?.

The heads are down alright. Our biggest problem at the minute is we have no scoring forwards to hurt teams. Our scoring averages across the league given the new rules have been abysmal. We have zero threat inside. Garland was back today and hes never convinced at this level. Think we scored 4 pts from play today over the 70 mins. The regulars in the forwards in the absence of other regulars have lost form and confidence. Not sure if Gary Mohan is back for the championship but if he is id move Gallagher to 14 where he offers greater mobility than Woods who might fare better coming on in games. O hanlon is better as a half forward where he has space to run into but we may have no option but to play him inside. We desperately need a fit Mccarthy McEnespie Lavelle Mohan but what are the chances of that at this stage as you'd imagine they'd featured in the league McCarthy Lavelle even as subs i mean if they were going to play v Cavan. If Bannigan thinks he can throw mccarthy and lavelle in v cavan with no football played this year he is with the fairies. Hamill McCaul McPhilips be a bonus to have back but understand all out for year. If you look at where sides like Roscommon and Meath are at teams we beat convincingly 12 months ago the rate of decline in our county side this year has been as bad as I can recall. The team would struggle to stay up in div 2 and unless big turnaround we will be competing in the Tailtenn Cup next year as div 2 shaping up to be v strong next year.

Great result, Hard fought team effort, Winning breaking ball was everything, But why oh why was Barry still on the Field getting injured with a 12 point lead? Madness.

An exciting finale to D4 awaits next Sunday. It's wide open with a couple of serious meetings.
The WW - LD match has all at stake as has ANT - LDN. It's odd to think that 9 points would get you promoted.

Replying To OverTheHill85:  "Or reduce the ACHL number of games."
It may, but i doubt it have escaped your notice the footballers get 9 league games to the hurlers 7. So find another solution which is very simple reduce the divisions improve quality at the top and competition lower down.

Replying To Matthew:  "You must be blind. Ray was there with the squad today! A good second half performance. Lynam had a very strong match. A lot of mistakes were made though and it's going to be very tough away to Wexford next Sunday. Massive improvement needed. Two of the goals conceded were very poor.

Is Sam Smyth out injured for long? I didn't see Mitchell there today though and he was there for previous matches. Great to see Conor Dillon back on the pitch!"
Great second half once again . First half riddled with silly mistakes which kept limerick in the game . Johnny lynam had a marvellous game. His work rate was immense. Brian cooney also had a solid outing . Ronan Wallace when we needed him did he always does and drive us on . Delighted to see conor dillon back today and in good shape . Ray will be back next Sunday which should release Sam to a more forward role . If I had one wish it would be that luke would be nearer to goal at all times . Wexford here we come
