Replying To hontherossie: "Speaking of Shannonside, there is nothing worse than poor Willie being in his flow and then being interrupted to bring coverage of some pointless division 4 game. Shannonside please sort this mess out, its very frustrating. Thank you." Look send an email to Shannonside fm if you feel this way, which I know you won't, but it's ok to send a message on here just to poke fun at us!!! Cop yourself on.
Look lads all round this page/forum is slowly descending into chaos and going to the dogs. This was once the best forum on hoganstand bar none. What was once a place to talk about proper Leitrim football chat is now a place of nonsense and dribble.
Back to what this page should be about-
Any update on McNulty? Was hoping to see him this weekend line out against London but alas not James's on starting 15

Replying To Claretandblue: "The new structure is far from perfect and it seems certain there will be further changes next year if Congress pushes All Ireland finals back, the idea that our previous structure was the envy of counties elsewhere, there were loads of championship matches last few years that were tame affairs, little of the cut and thrust associated with championship football. Shandonagh vs Tubberclair last year was a shocking advertisement for the championship." Our resident County Board man, will try put a positive spin on things when the reality is they have failed the players and Clubs time and time again. You have highlighted 1 game out of 70 + Championship games but they were not very many games last year that were dead rubber. I seem to remember all 6 teams in Section A of Senior having something to play for going into the last round, plenty of "cut and thrust" actually. If you're going to come up with a new structure, come up with a new structure that's completely fair to a tiered system. It is not as if Senior B teams were making their presence felt in the knockouts. For the last 3 years, the Senior semi finalists were made up of teams competing in Section A, except for The Downs in 2024. The decisions made to change the structures were definitely not evidence based, there is more to this than meets the eye. There was no appetite for change, the meeting at the Park Hotel should have been enough to confirm this but instead they ignore the Clubs and players and use their own votes to push through with it, it's called executive aggrandizement. This scandal further demonstrates the growing disconnect between the Board and the Clubs. It obviously dictated the mood on the team bus going to Newry yesterday going by the first half performance. It was foolish thinking we were going to see a better future for Westmeath football with the change of leadership, going nowhere fast with this Circus.

The thing I liked with McGrath in goal in the second half is twice the ball dropped short into his hands and immediately he played a nice kick pass to get the attack going. Particularly the Tony Brosnan shot that dropped short. He pinged a lovely ball 40 yards out to his left on to the chest and we were gone up the field, bypassing a bunch of the Kerry players who were inside the 45.

I don't really understand what improvements people are seeing with Eamon McGrath in goal. The kick outs were still long and predictable, frees were missed, and he didn't handle a crucial high ball which led to a goal. At this stage it feels like it's "anyone but Gleeson", which is hard to take when he was the goalkeeper in two All-Ireland finals. McGrath seems to be getting praised for things Gleeson gets ridiculed for.

Replying To Alwaysencourage: "Cappagh park" Cappagh park would be ideal.
They tried that!
It's owned by the council. They weren't even allowed to put a fence around it or erect nets behind the goals.
Next??

Delighted to pick up the valuable two points on offer. We had fluid, flowing football in the opening 35 minutes not to mention dominance of the kickout exchanges. It was dream stuff to be leading the All-Ireland champions of 2024 at half time by 12 points.
Different story 2nd half as Armagh threw all at us as they took over in midfield, we knuckled down then and got big impact off the bench especially the 3rd goal made by Duggan and scored by Carey. A key score to allow us to win by three.
2nd in the table after 3 games without Brigids players,McKeon Cox Harney exceeds expectations. Roll on Salthill next Saturday.

Replying To brayballer: "Dont be so negatve Fionn. Are you saying
David Byrne,Murchan,Howard,McMahonClancy,POCB,Scully,Bugler,Kilkenny,Basquel,Con,Costello,Small,Breathnach are division 2 standard?.
Not a hope.Yes we not the team we were but we still a division one team and on a given day can beat anyone.
Next weekend we can beat Kerry.Maybe not in championship but at mo we can.Kerry are missing players in crucial positions like midfield and half back line and their full back Foley got injured last night.
I think we can beat Kerry Roscommon and then we should be safe and no reason we cant take Armagh or Galway either.
I certainly tbink we will win at least two of the last four games." Cannot see Dublin beating Kerry unless Kerry put out a weaken team. Your going to have to beat Roscommon away, not an easy feat?

Replying To BarneyGrant: "Over the demand for a boycott of the Israel match?
If an Irish team can play England, then really there's no argument is there?
(Not saying they ought not to of course! Sport boycotts only harm the sportspeople, not the regimes. Having Olympics on China and World Cup in Qatar undermine any moral stance on the part of anyone who took part in those.)" Good point well made.

Don't be wasting your time trying to have a discussion with Clare from the blog. Read the blog from last evening and posts from S1234, they are exactly the same.

Replying To ahsure.: "Donegal not even in second gear and blew Mayo away with minimal fuss. Ye are motoring well lads
Question - why the 2 min delay in letting kids on the pitch today? To get the players off?" Donegal seem to be further down the road with Championship preparations than Mayo. I wouldn't read too much into that match as Mayo will be a different team later in the year. Mayo do however need a few forwards. Some poor wides.
The 2 minute delay was for both teams to shake hands after the match before letting the children onto the field as announced at halftime.

Replying To giveitlong: "Is there any info available as to the nature and extent of injuries to players referenced by PJ in the post match comments?" Said Walsh and McDaid will be out a while. Didn't sound like they would be back for the next few games anyway. Didn't mention Silke as it only happened during the warm up. He's not even being asked about Comer at this stage. Conroy back training but probably won't feature for a few weeks. Darcy and Daly weren't mentioned. PJ sounded fed up talking about injuries to be honest.

Keep the flag flying no matter what , that day in May last summer made up for all the countless hammerings we had !

Replying To JimB1991: "Kerry maintained there 10 point lead up to the last 14 minutes so the argument the game flipped at half time is just incorrect. Fair play Galway got a bit of a run on them and a couple of goals in the last 10 but that was an anomaly not a representation of how the game went overall. Good result for Galway though, gives them a chance of staying up." I don't read it like that, we missed frees, dropped short and were very wasteful, we also gifted them 2 goals so we were not that far off them.
