Great to see Leitrim going so well this year. I saw enough against Mayo last year to know that this group will push on. Taking full points away to a good London team says a lot about where things are at with yeer lads. Keep it going!
Word of caution however, beware of the wounded animal. His bite can do damage. I would be very wary of Antrim this weekend. Good luck to yee all.

Dublin fans suddenly not interested in going to games. Hilarious. A bit like how Man Utd fans realised they didn't like modern football in the 2010s. But yeah it's COVID and the stadiums fault .

Replying To JimmyNail: "Defensively I'd be worried as I don't think we have enough quality defenders and losing the one we have in Donal Casey is a massive loss. From midfield up i think we're as good as anyone else in the division but we're going to have to keep it tighter at the back as well as keeping key men like McNulty, Prior and Ryan O'Rourke fit and in good form. Can't look beyond the next game, Antrim have been a huge disappointment in the league but surely they have a big game in them and these are exactly the games that we have struggled with in the past. Can't look any further than Sunday. Any hope Donal Casey will play any part in league?" Isnt it good to see this Forum discussing football rather than the usual silly stuff that has predominated recently.
I cant see Donal Casey back for the league.Agree we are short on backs.However they did play well against Wicklow and ok against Waterford.
They will not be taking Antrim ,the pre season favourites for granted.
Morale in the camp is really good I hear and that means a lot.
The team is young and light and need dry fast surfaces.I hope the weather for Sunday is fair and there is big support there.I hear there was big Leitrim support in Ruislip.
I also agree with other posters, talk of promotion id premature at this stage.

Replying To waynoI: "All good here pal. Gave up my season ticket recently. The love for it just isn't there anymore. I went from not missing a game home or away for 14 years to just meh. I met someone, bought a house, had a baby (who's 4 now) and changed career so I don't have the time or to be honest, the will to keep making the effort. I feel like I've seen it all. I still go now and again but I don't miss it like I thought I would.
I think the straw that broke the camels back was when we returned after covid and we could go to games again. We played Armagh in the national league at Croke Park, turned up expecting a huge crowd, there was 22000 there. Soulless. I left that night thinking I don't think I'll I just don't think I'd care if I didn't go to the next one, and I didn't, and I think I've been to 3 games since.
From what I see, the league games in hq are still soulless, football in general is quite boring and I think for me, the odd game here and there is enough.
I do think though, infact, im convinced that if Dublin are going to compete again, there's no better man to get them there than Ger. It'll take time however but bearing in mind what we've seen since 2010, we will be patient and I don't think we will go 16 years for an all Ireland again like we did between 95 and '11" We might win a hurling Leinster before next football.
Yes, Croke Park is depressing these days. Diehards squeezed together in section of Hill and similar number scattered in increasingly sparse lower stands. Was there even 15,000 last day, and a lot of that was Meath who are starting to come in numbers,
Hopefully, Saturday will attract 30,000 or so for the biggest league game for both teams this year, Of course if it was properly marketed it might get 40k but they won't bother, That's only for the concerts and other sports.

Replying To Tadhg2020: "While im not a fan of the celebrity, i think Davey has proven that things can be turned around pretty quickly ( even in absence of underage success) when the environment for that change is provided." Davy won a Leinster with a team made up of lads who won multiple u21 Leinsters. In Hurling and Football. And when those lads were mostly in their mid 20s. The majority of our current team did reach Leinster finals, most beat Kilkenny twice on their way there, and they only lost those finals by a point or 2, but they are still a few years younger than the malority of the lads Davy had were when they won in 2019. I think we need to show a bit of patience. Some of those lads might become very good Senior hurlers by the time they are 25/26 too, if they keep improving and getting physically stronger.

Replying To The_DOC: "Ó Laoi is in the form of his life, thats 2 games on the trot hes got the ball in a defensive position in his own half, charged at the opposition and laid off a pass that ended in a goal. The some lad for driving out of defense with the ball. Well able to score too he just needs to back himself more." He's scored a point the last 3 games and even went for a few 2 pointers the last day. He looks like he's backing himself. He's been around since 2019 so about time he grabs the jersey and makes it his own and looks like he is doing that. Looks to be the quickest player Galway have at the moment coming from deep.

Replying To Polluv: "Agree that a bit of perspective is needed. One good half of football and there are posters going on about Croke Park and promotion and not fearing Sligo in the championship. Let's see how they do against Antrim on Sunday. Take it one game at a time. A lot of counties still in the mix, Longford found their shooting boots at the weekend, Carlow beat Tipp but were lucky enough by reports. Wicklow in the mix as well. Small shoots for us but don't be getting carried away. Still need to tighten up that defence, conceding too much." No one is getting carried away, there's nothing wrong with being confident. These lads are not out training and giving up their time to finish 3rd. At least I hope they're not anyhow. All that has been said so far is that if we keep lads fit & keep the head in games we're as good as anyone else in the group. No one is disagreeing about our defence, I said it on the first day that I felt it was a bit light but you can't say that they didn't learn a few things on Sunday. They tightened up a good bit in the second half. A game like that will do them no harm.

I watched many older people arriving at the ground very early on Sunday and still not getting a seat.There were a lot of young fit people and indeed a lot of coats in the seats which hardly seems fair but perhaps unavoidable.You cannot expect huge seating capacity at secondary grounds such as Letterkenny or Ballyshannon but you probably would have had the same situation in Ballybofey.This got me thinking that all county grounds should have far more covered seating.The majority of county grounds would have about 3-5k seats on one side of the ground.I don't know what this would cost but it is something we should be aiming for in this day and age.Maybe if the other side of the field was covered without seats??.It is a long stand for older supporters on a wet winters day.If it was a bus or train fitter people would be giving up their seats.

Replying To bláthach: "This is a Leitrim forum thank you very much. Other counties come here for attention but let them have it if they so wish please. It's great as it gives our forum plenty of clicks thank you all so much for contributing to this please." Like all counties Leitrim play intercounty football and hurling, so seen as our teams play each other and our supporters interact at games, I find it hard to see why supporters cannot interact online also. Ye gave us plenty to think about when we met last year and also played very well V Galway in the FBD until the last few minutes. The manager is doing a fine job and due to low numbers available to ye, I think every supporter in the country likes to see ye going well.

Replying To Eire89: "I think O Laoi has showed alt of promise and deserves the wing back jersey for sat night. O Flaherty an impact sub and I worry about him defensively. Hernon is a solid option. McGrath the find of the year and great to see Maher back looks like he never went away. Comer & Walsh are an after thought at this stage with their continuous injury/fitness issues." Ó Laoi is in the form of his life, thats 2 games on the trot hes got the ball in a defensive position in his own half, charged at the opposition and laid off a pass that ended in a goal. The some lad for driving out of defense with the ball. Well able to score too he just needs to back himself more.

Very impressed by the 1st half performance at the weekend. We punished Armagh when we got the chance and players stood up to the challenge. I thought the tackling and pressure on the Armagh defenders in the opening 20 minutes was fantastic, something Armagh have done to other teams in the past. The only negative was our kickouts in the 2nd half but that is something that can be easily rectified.
Armagh pegged back the score and put us under some small pressure towards the end but its hard to maintain that level of scoring throughout an entire game. The breach was as clear as day and we settled after that. Thought Duggan and Neary did well when they came on.
Yet again, Diarmuid, Enda & Daire Cregg were exceptional. Great to see the three of them in flying form. The Heneghans had good games while Ruane and McCormack showed how important they are to our set up.
Dowd has some selection headaches coming up but that's whats needed for us to win another Connaught title and push on in the All -Ireland series. A strong bench is key and when the Brigits lads are back in the fold, the players from the opening 3 games will feel they've done enough to challenge in every position.
Huge game Saturday night but nothing to fear against Galway.
