Replying To Mull93: "Who was relegated from Division 1? There were two groups and I think the bottom team in each group was Ratchline and Fr Manning Gaels. I don't recall a play-off between the two teams.
Are Killashee also playing in the Junior Championship? I don't know how the County Board could have accommodated them. They were terrible in league and championship. It was embarrassing as a county to have a senior team not field in 5 championship games. They are in Division 3 on merit and if they have been relegated to Junior Championship as a result of last years Senior Championship fiasco then they can have no complaints.
I can understand why Connollys do not want to go up to Division 1 but I cannot understand why Ardagh Moydow would want to go up." If ever a club had notions it's Ardagh Moydow.

If this is true all clubs in question need to be told where to go. It's a league, if you win it you go up, if you finish bottom you go down. Crazy carry on

Replying To Edman78: "Ok Fair enough, as I say i wasn't there. I like watching him play up here in Westmeath and take and interest because of that. He's a great player and no shame in going back in to help out his county. Longford were so dominant in the first half by the sounds of it that it's hard to think he was "brutal". I was at the Westmeath game and that was what you'd call brutal. So he couldn't be that bad. He probably takes a lot of eyes and heavy criticism because of his age and the condition he's in. It's shines a spotlight on others.
Things are tight now for Longford to stay up. A point was probably a result neither team wanted. Hope yee stay up." Fair enough shouldnt single out as there was many bad. Have a good weekend hope longford can be better this week

Replying To jack99: "Listening to radio here in Dublin Foy failed to collect a David mcgivney cross field pass in the halfback line. Straightforward forward mistake I didn't pick up that he or anyone else was having a great game. Tierney calling for major changes in half back line . By the sounds of things he not wrong. Also from listening and reading between the lines we need to at pace around the middle and get ball to scoring zone faster. Btw any word on what age the minor championship is going to be played in Longford. A lot of counties going u18 but some like Westmeath waiting until 2024 to revert back to u18.
With county left at u17 I thought club would stay at that." Agree wasnt just him etc we need bit more pace in certain areas

Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "Agree barring serious reasons behind not been able to go up" The only serious reason would be not having numbers to field and if that's the case then you don't have the numbers to field in the lower division either. It's not acceptable to be holding the season up like this. Again if it is true, lots of rumours have started on here without any foundation

Replying To Gaaforlife2023: "*saying* why wouldnt want to go up" Even after today's result we could still survive in Div 3.. It'd b akin to the great escape given the league we've had so far.

Heard people saying today was a good performance it was only good compared to the last few matches we were awful. Shooting was terrible and loads of gaps at the back. Sooner year is over the better

Replying To Spinx: "I was told the other day that there is a problem on why no league fixtures are posted yet. Apparently Connollys do not want to go up to Div 1. Ardagh/Moydow want to go up instead if Connollys are not. They are claiming that on a normal league system they would of ended up on more points than Connollys!! And to add to the drama, Killashee do not want to play Div 3 and are claiming that the CB did not accommodate them last year and are now refusing to go down!! Did anyone else her this?" Not heard that, crazy if true! If Connolly's are not going up, Ardagh Moydow are next in line (the 'normal season' line doesn't wash, everyone knew he rules and agreed to them before the season started). The key question is whether Connollys can't or won't go up. If a club suffers a big drop in numbers, it's not unreasonable to look at an exception, but it can't be up to individual clubs to arbitrarily decide and take positions. We saw enough of that sort of corruption with clubs who refused, or found workarounds to avoid, championship relegation in recent past.
Killashee ended Division 2 with just a single win and a points difference of -126. There should be no argument about their drop and they should have no say in it. Here's a reminder of how Divisions 1 and 2 ended last year (tables are still on the county site).

I see our u20s are in the development league final. What are we like I haven't seen any game . Anyone know where and when the final is ? It's supposed to be Saturday but I don't see a definite fixture. I might go down to it if it is Saturday in Longford.

Lads surly this is all nonsense talk and someone just looking to stir the pot! one poster mentioned the leagues starting the week of paddys, every club in the county knows that is not true! also the county board has let this go on for 20 years now with clubs deciding which division they should compete in after seeing what they have out for pre season training! its totally embarrasing at this stage, if Kilashee are not in Div 3 and relegated to Junior Champ then that is the start of it! they made a mockery of the senior championship last year! also why did Connellys try to win div 2 if they wont go up!
