Replying To alalalalalum:  "Elphin are division 1? Roscommon club football doesn't mean a whole pile on a Leitrim forum, especially when the same team wins your county title every year. Although I hear the windmill there is a beautiful sight. Super"
It is nice in fairness thanks so much. They wrote a song too about it please. It's called there'll always be a windmill in elfin. But I often wonder thanks what will happen if the windmill in Elfin blows down or collapses like the Roscommon team in division one thanks. Will they write a new song please along the lines of there will NOT always be a windmill in elfin thank you. One to ponder over Christmas for us all. Thank you.

Over for what dinner? This is a GAA forum, not a culinary one. Super

Happy new year to all Leitrim gaa supporters and indeed to the bored Roscommon crew who join in from time to time with weak posts. May we all have a great 2026 in a footballing and life sense and may there be cups galore for our chosen teams, except for Roscommon. Super 2026 all

Happy new year thanks got to everyone. Best of luck to Stevie and the lads on Sunday. It's in Elphin please? Why is this thanks? Is it because they're bringing us to a tight pitch to throw us off thanks? Maybe trying to eke out an advantage please. Is the pitch on windmill boulevard please or windmill drive? Thank you in advance.

Good to see the game being streamed on Sunday. Be interesting to see the Leitrim team that plays probably won't have a full squad with injuries and the upcoming sigerson cup

Sure you're always commenting on the Leitrim page, who is the obsessive here?! No idea what you are on about squirrels and conifers, did santy bring you a junior infants nature book? He's a great lad if he did.

What is the night life like in Elphin? Is it worth staying in to sample after the big game?

Seen the team named for Sunday. It's mainly last years team and it doesn't look like many if any of last years absentees have returned. Even allowing for the return of Barry McNulty it's worrying for the year ahead.

Does a windmill have gates and a bridge? Are you meaning a moat? I'd imagine by the end of 2026 we will have as many trophies as Roscommon...just to clarify that means zero. Super.

Ryan Jones not listed as part of the backroom team? Is that just an error?

Thank you, I have already arrived at the Orchard Park and have set up a tent outside to sleep overnight to make sure I get a good seat for the game.

I'm just wondering is Dr Hyde Park bogged again or why is the game in this leafy outpost of the county.

the craic in the pubs before and after will be serious.
Id say the only buzz before and after games I've experienced were in London and New York, though the win v louth in '18 was good.
Is it actually being streamed? Might try get it

We are keeping the Hyde for division 1 teams and we heard if we didn't play the game practically on yet doorstep ye were threatening not to turn up again.

Ah well teams showed up to Roscommon and they weren't able to play there and had to come to Leitrim to have it played instead so I suppose it's fair enough to have it close by. And indeed nice for you to experience division 1 teams gracing the place before you're down in div 2 next year.

Nay problem bud. The Hyde is fine. Actually beautiful thanks and the scene of your last great success in 95. Mind the head in Elphin where the natives will keep you well looked after. Genuine folk. Make sure ye have the numbers for the game. That's very very important. Love you loads.
