Replying To JimB1991: "Good interview. Unfortunately for Galway, Joyce seemed to be buying into the hype about all the talent Galway have. He's done a great job to get them to overperform and needs to keep that mindset" Clare...
More talent available than Mayo...

Replying To Dodgy_Pass: "League fixtures released today
Away trips to Aughrim (Rd1), Ruislip (Rd3), Semple (Rd5) and Carlow (Rd 7), Wexford (Rd2), Antrim (Rd 4) and Longford (Rd6) coming to Carrick.
Difficult opening three games." Now in fairness ye could not have got much better, at home to the lowest ranked team from last year in the opener, a team with zero points in div 4 and -46 score difference last year, surely you must be chalking down 2 points from that one. Anyway great to be getting closer to intercounty action and the slow return to longer evenings.

Lads, has it even been announce anywhere about Corrigan taking over Clonguish?
Wasn't it a 2 horse race between him and Bonner for the Fermanagh job before Bonner got it?
Why would he come down to Longford to manage a club team from there if he's been heavily linked with county jobs?
Surely he would look to Fermanagh, Monaghan or Tyrone clubs who he has previous experience of managing in....even Leitrim.
The only two lads confirming it is Corrigan taking over Clonguish is Spinx and Williesboy.
Are these two posters the one?!!

The producers and guests and everyone who puts the time into making Iarmhi tv the great product it is to showcase for our games deserve massive credit. Super idea to honour the players who performed the best in the championships.

Replying To supersub15: "Your initial interest in my spelling / misspelling of Tadgh / Tadhg was to say the least interesting, what it really boiled down to was the reversal of the last two letters, hg simple as that, how they were arranged in the spelling meant a lot to you and I respect that.
I went out of my way to put my understanding and my view's on the spelling in my post.
However, yesterday I posted two replies making sure they were squeaky clean and within the house rules, unfortunately they didn't make the forum. I also posted a reply to a different poster, sadly that post didn't make the forum either, unless I'm mistaken it is the fourth time in a month, I simply don't understand how it works.
I was of the opinion it is a forum to share sporting information, not a popularity forum.
Happy Xmas, - - - - sorry I mean Christmas." You might be overthinking it a bit. It's just an observation on how regularly Tadhg is misspelled. I see it sometimes in newspaper articles, so you're far from alone, and I can see how it can be a tricky one.
The reversal of the last two letters is indeed the main one I see, but sometimes the d can also find itself out of place.
If I reverse the last two letters of the name Paul it becomes a different name. I don't know of any Palu over this side of the country though.
I'm on here to hear different opinions, so keep them coming.

Replying To LongBall94: "This is brilliant news that we should have close to our strongest panel available.
It'll be tough on many of the lads who picked up the baton last year under extremely diffucult circumstances. However, thats high level sport.
I would like the county board to restart having a junior/development panel like we used to a few years back. It could be a good spring board for some of these players that won't make the cut this year along with some of our younger players coming through.
Theres a few issues on the starting team that will need to be sorted out.
At Goalkeeper - Killian Gaffey is the standout Goalkeeper but i'd be worried that Poacher will stick with his buddy from Louth.
By the end of the u20 campaign many of us will be calling for Scott Kerr to be no.1 - hes superb.
With Casey having suffered a serious injury its unlikely we will see him in 2026, that means himself and Jack Foley will be gone from our starting back 6 last year.
Cillian McGloin will move back a line to wing back and I'd fancy Colm McLoughlin from Fenagh to be the other wing back.
We badly need Jack Gilheany at 6. I think Adam Reynolds is now ready to finally fulfill his potential at corner back (along with Eanna McNamara) if he can stay injury free.
Full back is a real issue and i'm not sure who the solution is.
I think Radek Oberwan is now at the level to be McNultys partner at Midfield if he can put down a big winter. A shame Pearce Dolan will not be available. Dolan and McNulty could dominated under the new rules.
In our attack:
We really need Keaney and Guckian to push on - they have serious potential, power and height and can score from distance - all crucial with the new rules.
Tom Prior, Honeyman and Ryan O'Rourke are 3 other guarneteed startes in our forward unit. Thats 5/6 spots taken. For me - the final choice is between Cox, Jordan Reynolds, Darragh Rooney (if available) or he could go for power/engine in Keegan, Flynn, Beezer, McLoughlin etc. Caleb Duffy could be a bolter.
We now have depth and options that we haven't had - its rarely said but the clubs/county board are definitely developing a higher quality of player then before and that without many players who have emmigrated.
Some will disagree but i'd also be trying to add D.Wrynn and S.Moran to the panel which is still very young and lacks some brawn and experience. They'd be brilliant to introduce in the last 25mins.
A last thing, Niall Walsh who was on the panel a few years back but suffered from injuries was one of the best forwards in the Galway championship this year at no.11, Scoring 1.17 and assisting 4.03 going into the final which he won. Will be interesting to see how he fairs out against Leitrim Gaels but he should definitely be looked at again with form like that." An update to the Leitrim panel for 2026. There may be future additions but at the moment this is where we stand.
From what I'm hearing the guts of the boys who have been asked in have committed and have been training in the last few weeks .
This automatically means we have a far stronger squad then last year.
Saying all that theres still no Jack Gilheany, Jack Foley, David Bruen, Pearce Dolan, Mark Plunkett, Darragh Rooney, Keith Beirne etc. And Donal Casey has a long term injury. No word on Niall Walsh as of yet.
That leaves us without Casey and Foley who were our 2 best defenders in a struggling defence last year.
Gilheaney would start at 6 but isn't commiting, unfortunately. Theres some loose talk that Bruen may be home early in the new year. That would be huge.
We're really going to struggle defensively from what I can see. I don't see a number 3 or 6 ready made for Inter county football.
You would hope that Poachers system and style of football can cover us defensively and then our talented forward line can see us through games.

We are not home to the lowest rank team from last year in the opener thanks so much. We are away to Wicklow please. This is all so lovely. Thank you millions
