Replying To ohwow: "Anyway moving on, predictions for the weekend Galway v Leitrim - hard to see anything but a Galway win here but a creditable performance by Leitrim to keep it within six points would be an excellent result...Galway by 8 Mayo v Roscomnom - I will be in Castlebar on business Sunday and hope to get into the last 15 mins of this game in time to see Mayo finishing this one out comfortably...Mayo by 10" More chance I'd say of the Bishop throwing the ball in than you in Castlebar on Sunday and I bet you weren't in attendance to see Leitrim pull off a famous win against Sligo.

Replying To 3rdmidfielder: "Agreed. This was a great place to discuss Leitrim football, but there is a serious amount of nonsense on it now. Anyway Im hoping for a good performance on Saturday, Galway are a different animal to anything we faced in a long time. Leitrim Abù." Indeed, I think some of the bucks on this page actually need some help... the help needed is up for debate.... Anyhow moving on, it's going to be a nice sunny day in Carrick on Saturday and my fear is that we'll run out of puff and Galway will just run through us so any tactics will have to take this into account. Not expecting a win... anything under 10 would be a good result to take into the Tailteann and learnings for 2027. Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 1989 - 23/04/2026 15:32:34 2668153 Link
Replying To hontherossie: "As a rossie living in carrick. I have the same concerns about how long its taking to dig a basic trench along a road. I am now starting to wonder, is this a tactic deployed by poacher to stop the galway bus getting into the pitch." It's probably just roadworks in fairness ohwow (Leitrim) - Posts: 128 - 23/04/2026 15:42:34 2668156 Link

Replying To moros: "Great win for our u 20s last night. Written off here at every opportunity. Superb for development which is the most important thing. Well established as the big county on underage in Connacht now. Looking forward to a speedy Roscommon now Mayo the weekend but injuries playing puck altogether. Still a decent Summer and Division ONE football secured. Love to all." Ho ho! Up the Rossies: FT: Roscommon 2-10 (16) Galway 0-15 foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2499 - 23/04/2026 17:12:15 2668187 Link
Great to see and hear from Ros folk from Carrick on this forum. Plenty of reasonable comments. Love to all. moros (Roscommon) - Posts: 1356 - 23/04/2026 17:13:21 2668188 Link
Replying To ohwow: "It's probably just roadworks in fairness" Regarding roadworks its just Stephen Poachers way of parking the Bus,,,, Weekend predictions all fun aside ,if Galway do manage to overcome Leitrim in Carrick Its safe to say the margin could be a lot smaller than Roscommons impending defeat to Mayo.... fundamunda (Leitrim) - Posts: 15 - 23/04/2026 18:55:20 2668205 Link
Replying To bláthach: "I love the optimism of this post thanks so much please for sharing it. However I don't think we will beat Galway this time thank you. Plus I don't think Roscommon will get near mayo at all thanks so much. So it's going to be the big two in the final AGAIN I feel. Thank you all." Thank you for your reply, Paddy Power had Leitrim at 18 /1 to win. Money has rolled in .They are now down to 12/1. fundamunda (Leitrim) - Posts: 15 - 23/04/2026 20:59:39 2668220 Link

Replying To ohwow: "Irrelevant in the scheme of things, thanks for visiting our thread" "Our thread, where we spend most of our time talking about Roscommon and any upcoming games Roscommon are involved in" Love thy neighbour D.Hyde (Roscommon) - Posts: 331 - 23/04/2026 22:44:25 2668250 Link
Replying To fundamunda: "My final prediction. anyone else like to give theirs...of course im an optimist....Leitrim 1-18 (21) Galway 0-19 (19)" In a previous post you said you fancy Leitrim by 3-5 points but you predict a scoreline with a 2 point margin? Get the calculator out, or the abacus down your neck of the woods.. D.Hyde (Roscommon) - Posts: 331 - 23/04/2026 22:48:41 2668252 Link
Replying To fundamunda: "My final prediction. anyone else like to give theirs...of course im an optimist....Leitrim 1-18 (21) Galway 0-19 (19)" Very optimistic then again I reckoned Sligo would beat us easily so to hell with it, why shouldn't we try go out and win it, the pressure is on them not us. A wet day would actually suit us better, the dry day and fast ball will test our fitness levels a bit too much and Galway will likely have a bit too much for us. The Sligo gave us much to be proud of but until we get up to division 3 and stay there, we won't go toe to toe with division 1 or 2 teams for long. A decent performance could give us some belief in a proper run in the TC. gaelsboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 754 - 23/04/2026 22:59:48 2668254 Link

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer: "More chance I'd say of the Bishop throwing the ball in than you in Castlebar on Sunday and I bet you weren't in attendance to see Leitrim pull off a famous win against Sligo." Neither the Bishop or myself will throw in the ball, it will be the referee which does so ohwow (Leitrim) - Posts: 128 - 24/04/2026 07:48:12 2668267 Link
I'd say ye have a right good chance. Catch them on the hop like we did against Meath. Best of luck crispsandwich99 (Westmeath) - Posts: 9 - 24/04/2026 08:54:03 2668274 Link
Replying To SamandLiamSoon: "Any pub in Carrick that might have Gaa+ and be showing the Kilkenny vs Wexford Saturday evening that ye would recommend?" They will all have it, but note that Carrick on Shannon is a big hen/stag town so coupled with the game on, everywhere will be very busy. gaelsboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 754 - 24/04/2026 10:19:06 2668290 Link
Replying To Gantric: "Where will the final be if Leitrim win?" You'd imagine it would be Dr Hyde Park, if the pitch is able to take it. ohwow (Leitrim) - Posts: 128 - 24/04/2026 10:21:58 2668292 Link
If we get by Galway (unlikely I know) who or who would we put on Kobe McDonald in the Connacht final please so millions? Thanks for considering this tactical conundrum. bláthach (Leitrim) - Posts: 512 - 24/04/2026 10:27:16 2668294 Link
