We beat the two teams that were bankers for getting g 4pts before this league started...and we barely beat them at that, could have lost in fact which is very ominous. The team that would show where we really were in the pecking order...Wicklow, we lost to.
I would hope momentum would get us to the top 2 but I'd say there's lads from the remaining counties looking at some of us saying a win over London was historic and shaking their heads laughing." You have completely missed the historic nature of the Leitrim win.Don't know where your from but down 14 pts in the first half & go on to win by 2 is rare in Football. I don't think there is anybody in Div 4 laughing at us- more like apprehension at meeting an almost fully fit Leitrim in full flow. It was an impressive win whether you agree or not while we should have beaten Wicklow who were helped by three questionable decisions to deny us scores. Predict victory over Antrim & Longford with Tipp & Carlow the challenge. Lots more to come in this Division

You have to take it game by game, and I wouldn't be looking past Antrim. I saw the highlights from the London game, and for all of London's scores our defender was three or four feet away from blocking them down. There are some good, honest footballers on the Leitrim team, with a few nice talented players mixed in, but a serious amount of work still needs to be done defensively before I'd be looking past any Ulster team.

It would have been nearly historic had London bet us by 14pts or more...the comeback was very impressive and showed good heart and a lot of skill, but they should never have been in that position in the first place.

Those 6 points were all world class. McNulty is some player

Bornacoola played st brigids kiltooms second string in a challenge last weekend down in kiltoom. Naomh Brid running out winning by about 8-10 points. Probably not a bad result at all for the bors given the opposition

You are 100% right, they should never got into that position. Thank god for 2 pointers.

Ye have the new King of the Arc up there! Just saw Barry McNulty's exhibition of two pointers - outrageous shooting, left and right, and that free must have been taken from the next parish! Superb shooting.

I can't figure out if your a bornacoola supporter or some one who is trying to take the **** out of them

Then declared themselves unbeaten after winning their first league game.

The Admin of this page has a lot to answer for. Why let so much nonsense be written here? Ruining the page for all real fans.
McNulty is a gem. Great for the county to have his shooting go viral like it has. Be interesting to see will he start against Antrim. Barry himself, Manor and Leitrim as a county can't afford him to get a third Hamstring injury within a year so its a tough decision.
He's worth 6 points a game minimum to this team, aside from his shooting abillty, his workrate, aerial ability to win kickouts/throw-ins and the fact most teams will now double up on him will create space for everyone else.
Poacher would have had a lot to answer for with his selection and tactics only for McNulty last weekend. Antrim are on a desperate bad run of form but they are also a team we regularly struggle against.
Any update on the rest of our injuries (Keaney, Casey and Cox and Colm McLoughlin in particular) and Eanna McNamara? The young lad hasn't been looked after too well in my opinion from what I've heard, he needs medical treatment on his hips before most games for the last year and him 19.
Gaffey needs to start in goals now. It's not even up for debate.
As predicted our defence is really struggling on all levels, physically, pace and positioning. Diffley most defenitly is not a 6 that is for sure.
I see no reason why Poacher wouldn't try and go back for Radek Oberwan - he's out training with Allen Gaels and keeps himself in great condition or even Jack Gilheany.
I'd personally put Cillian McGloin back at wing back if he didn't pick up any knocks last weekend before being taken off.
He got it wrong last weekend but Poacher needs to be ruthless here. The management are up against it with the injuries we have had but the reality is we lost to Wicklow in a game we should have won, were really poor against Waterford and we were getting a trouncing against London only for McNulty.
If we loose to Antrim thats us done. There should be a great buzz in the camp this week so Poacher needs to really go for it here.
We should have lots of options off the bench which is huge in Div 4.
Killian Gaffey
Conor Reynolds Kieran Clancy Sean Harkin
Cillian McGloin Colm McLoughlin** Mark Diffley
Conor Quinn
Barry McNulty
Tom Prior Keith Keegan Oisin McLoughlin
Paul Honeyman Ryan O'Rourke Ben Guckian
Could be smart to play Oisin McLoughlin or Beezer McKiernan - Antrim will be drawn to McNulty around the arc so having another shooter around there could be crucial.
Great to see the County Board finally showing some initiative and putting up the highlights of McNultys scores. This should be done for every game win or lose. Our youngsters/supporters need to see our own players every week instead of just the usual teams on the Sunday Game - Its something simple they can do which will make a difference.
