Think you are on your own with that opinion , even Killoe people would say Darren has been our most consistent player. Add in been our top scorer as well

He is not far off, but I'd opt for Gallagher too. Quinn carries the ball into trouble a lot, for county and club, and ends up losing possession at important times when he is trying too hard to grasp a game. He uses the outside of his boot pass far more often than he should when easier more accurate kicks are on. This looks great when it comes off, but it fails just as much as it works. He takes a lot of 45's and rarely scores them. Maybe doesn't seem to have the cleverness in his play which would have put hit right at the top level. This is nit picking, as he is a fantastic player for us all the same and it would be a massive loss for us if he was not there. He has the natural ability and skill, no doubt about that. I think Gallagher pips him as being the better player in the last few years, he might not be as naturally talented, but is a serious worker and accurate as hell.

Its going to come down to that final game against Laois in Portlaoise. Loser goes down. LongfordgaaAbú (Longford) - Posts: 469 - 12/03/2022 21:45:54 2405090 Link 0 |

There is the the possibility that a draw will do Laois. It'll make for an exciting finish but its been a very frustrating year so far. Huge opportunity to get promoted has been lost in a really weak division 3. Instead some people will consider it a good year to stay in division 3. With expectations like that how will the county every progress. The players are constantly run down but they showed the potential that is in the group last week by beating comprehensively a team that will quite likely get promoted. I wasn't at the game yesterday but it looks like we were second best from start to finish. Mull93 (Longford) - Posts: 119 - 13/03/2022 10:32:39 2405107 Link 0 |

Games like this were your travelling 3 hours or more are won or lost in the first 10/15 minutes of the match. Giving away a penalty so early and quick points after left a mountain to climb

i made the journey saturday, to say that was disappointing would be mild. the loss of quinn was obviously a huge blow but i dont think any one player could of turned around the lack of effort right round the pitch. right from the off the body language was terrible. we dont know what goes on in training but the team selection was very questionable. hughes and doherty should both be starters so should diffley now hes fit again. crash back to reality after mullingar. we have to win both matches now to be sure of staying up. a win against wicklow with a loss to laois would relegate us. we are favourites for the drop again. slasher9 (Longford) - Posts: 233 - 14/03/2022 08:56:50 2405303 Link 1 |

A win and a draw would be enough to survive if Fermanagh lose both remaining games (which they probably will). But I can't see this Longford side getting a draw in Portlaoise. Would be heroic stuff if we pulled it off, but the odds are sadly against it.

Our defending today was terrible. I'm actually nearly speechless after that. I didn't see that result coming. I hope our "Performance Coach" can prove his worth and help them to lift their heads next week. Maybe its all part of a masterplan, a Laois man against Laois on the last day of the year relegates them to stick it to all the Laois people that don't rate him.

My God, we're going backwards! And after a great result by our U17s yesterday :( Wicklow kicked 2.0 points FFS.

Can longford survive in Div 3 if we beat Laoise I think the winner on the day overrides scoring difference gaasport (Longford) - Posts: 23 - 20/03/2022 19:47:08 2406005 Link 0 |

Not that simple - if two teams tied its straightforward head to head - so if Longford beat Laois then they will survive if only the two teams. Solo_Run (Leitrim) - Posts: 209 - 20/03/2022 20:20:25 2406020 Link 0 |

They can, but don't be rushing down to the bookies...

If Longford beat Laois and Wicklow do not win, Longford survive on the head to head.

Fermanagh are on 6 points, Wicklow only possible team that can alos finish with 5 points if they can overcome Louth which looks unlikely

Correct. Fermanagh are safe. We either beat Laois or its curtains. Quinn was a significant loss yesterday. Can't see this team turning over Laois in their own backyard in a relegation dogfight. Just not enough form or quality there, on or off the field, at the moment.

We beat Westmeath against all the odds a week after the disappointing Fermanagh performance. With Quinn back the impossible maybe possible. Still we can have no complaints with our position at the moment. You hit the nail on the head, not enough of quality either on or off the pitch B&G (Longford) - Posts: 276 - 21/03/2022 18:23:24 2406308 Link 1 |

I think Micheal McCormack managed Monaghan.
