Replying To LongfordSham: "There would presumably be a few on the Killoe panell going for their 7th Senior medal this year, does anyone know what player/players would have more/the most?" They won't win a 7th this year. They willhave to make do with the half dozen B&G (Longford) - Posts: 362 - 29/09/2024 12:17:38 2572333 Link
Replying To Mybighairyhorse: "Mullinalaghta hard pressed to beat Colmcille with both Shane Mulligan and James McGivney suspended." Colmcile probably significant favourites but if any team could do it without 2 key players it would be the men from the laurels Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 517 - 29/09/2024 12:46:43 2572336 Link
Colmcille ground it out, fair play to them. Two very close semi-finals this weekend, as expected. Very difficult to call who will win it. Hopefully the qualify of football is better than it was this weekend. LongfordgaaAbú (Longford) - Posts: 574 - 29/09/2024 18:13:10 2572377 Link
My previous post about this got blocked by the moderators for some reasn. But how can a player be suspended for an incident in a game that happened in a previous round of the championship. Shane Mulligan was suspended for something that happened in the carrickedmond game but that was only submitted by the carridmond club almost a month later...after Mullinalaghta had already played Granard and Mulligan had played! At this rate, anyone can look at a video of earlier rounds of a championship and find something that was missed, then submit video of it. I have never heard of this ever happening anywhere before Mybighairyhorse (Longford) - Posts: 7 - 29/09/2024 18:38:25 2572385 Link
Players don't care about viewing quality, they just want to win, and they're right Rockshorecider (Longford) - Posts: 53 - 29/09/2024 19:00:36 2572391 Link
Replying To Rockshorecider: "Players don't care about viewing quality, they just want to win, and they're right" I agree that players don't care how the game looks once they get a result. But to be honest, the defensive style that Colmcille are deploying is fairly rancid stuff. I wouldn't mind but they actually have the players and quality to play good football but opt for a safety first approach. Get 13 or 15 behind the ball, then attack laterally in slow phases. It is a pity to see football gone this way. Abbey I feel will adopt a similar style again so I can't see much of a spectacle occurring in the final. backtoback2 (Longford) - Posts: 42 - 29/09/2024 20:30:17 2572407 Link

They did against killoe/rathcline/Mullinalaghta/Carrickedmond /clonguish /dromard Rockshorecider (Longford) - Posts: 53 - 29/09/2024 22:15:22 2572421 Link
Can't believe Killoe lost. Should be a good final in store YellowandGold14 (Longford) - Posts: 5 - 30/09/2024 00:26:39 2572434 Link

To be honest I thought watching the game today, part of the reason Colmcille were going sideways was because Mullinalaghta had most of their players back defending also. Colmcille are far from the only culprits in this regard. What I would say though is when they went down to 14 they actually went to overdrive with it but you could hardly blame them and I actually thought they did an exceptional job managing the game through that period. Declan Reilly is still one of the best players in the county. Must be one of Longford's best ever players. GAALONGFORD (Longford) - Posts: 34 - 30/09/2024 02:32:29 2572445 Link
The Defensive slow stop teams playing football wins again.. It could be a 5 points to 4 county final but the management and teams wont care if they win.. I see above a comment about not having to listen to killoe, in fairness to them they had a point in the 1st half that wasn't given but was obvious for anyone in the stand and not a word about it since, they lost by a point could have been a different story. Word in Pearse Park yesterday was Dempsey gone and a few players too.. would that mean killoe, clonguish and maybe mullinaghta and Rathcline all changing managements next year. I do agree Declan Reilly surely up there with Paul Barden as best footballer county has ever seen #Putitup (Longford) - Posts: 46 - 30/09/2024 09:41:54 2572468 Link

He chooses his jobs very carefully and I don't think any team with aspirations of winning a senior championship would appoint him, and he wouldn't take it unless they were among the favourites to win anyways.

Little or no talk of ladies football on here. I just want to say congratulations to St. Helens on winning the Junior B championship yesterday. An enjoyable night afterwards, feeling a bit worse for wear in work today! Senior, Intermediate and Junior A finals all on next Saturday.
