Replying To Fox.1n.7he.b0x: "Good that it is sorted for ye, who has he in his back room team?" We are trying to see if Mickey Graham is available to be coach :) boxtyburgerbuns (Leitrim) - Posts: 13 - 26/10/2024 16:19:11 2577038 Link
Replying To Marzo_louglin94: "Congrats to Manorhamilton minors on their huge win in Connacht. They played exceptional and played proper outstanding football. They are well coached They had proper kickout calls and proper attacking structure, none of this over and back with the ball just drive straight to the end target. From number 1 to 15 They were outstanding. I also watched Eastern harps minor final earlier in the month, Manor have a very good chance they could go the whole way. I find disgraceful though such a short turn around for manor as they are out again Tuesday and the final will be that Friday." And if Manorhamilton win on Tuesday they'll be out again the following Friday. Three games in 7 days ridiculous scheduling by the Connacht GAA for a group of U17s at a time you hear so much about player burn out. Poacher and his management look like a decent appointment for Leitrim seniors, main issue for Leitrim under Moran and was never addressed in his years there was poorly set up defensively and strength and conditioning. Poacher and co focus on those areas then Leitrim could well stay up in Div 3 next year. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3473 - 26/10/2024 17:37:14 2577048 Link
Replying To Thejampot: "Our excellent young class forwards will suffer under this manger with the defensive muck he will have them playing." Sure in fairness won't we have to be parking the bus in div 3 anyway to have any hope in staying up in it and being competitive. boxtyburgerbuns (Leitrim) - Posts: 13 - 26/10/2024 18:18:47 2577058 Link
The County Board have reacted quickly to the Graham departure to be fair to them. The old adage of 'marry in haste and repent at your leisure' may be called into play in the future. Reports from outside the county aren't universally glowing but we can but wait and see. Boxtyeater (Leitrim) - Posts: 715 - 26/10/2024 21:09:38 2577085 Link
Considering the reports about teams already back training several weeks I don't think Leitrim could have waited much longer. Everyone wishes the new appointments well. joeman123 (Leitrim) - Posts: 504 - 26/10/2024 21:56:33 2577092 Link
I wish yee luck with the latest mgmt team appointment. I fear it's not in the slightest interest of Leitrim football. No sign of a selector from Leitrim there and I doubt these lads have a clue about Leitrim football. We suffered our own fate from a similar setup recently. I realise the CB backs were too the wall but let's be honest this is your 2nd manager in a row with no intercounty mgmt experience. Dont let yourselves become the academy for new managers!!

The old adage of 'marry in haste and repent at your leisure' may be called into play in the future. Reports from outside the county aren't universally glowing but we can but wait and see." In fairness they have and they needed to, as any management would have had oceans of work do for the start of the season. I'm curious as to what happened with O'Hara. He certainly was everyone's favourite for the job. Like yourself it's a wait and see approach to this appointment... the backroom team assembled feels a bit underwhelming and it is disappointing that no Leitrim man is involved in the Senior setup. Barry McWeeney should have been kept in the Senior setup but perhaps they wanted a clean slate. At least we now have a man with a track record and not a lad with 3 months experience....

Is it even possible to park the bus when these new rules are introduced. If it is possible we are gonna find out!! Bearinthesquare14 (Leitrim) - Posts: 12 - 27/10/2024 09:03:01 2577119 Link
