Leaving aside all the back and forth over the past week, which never really went anywhere, the footballers should not have been beaten by 11 points by a team they bet twice this season. There is never anything in it between both sides. Yes turnaround time was not ideal, but the Longford final beats any number of challenge games. As League Champs they should have it in their locker to be at least competitive. The narrative almost is is we are never going to win Leinster so its almost we did ourselves a favour ... IMHO if we have anything about ourselves we should be trying to be at least competitive amongst the 'best of the rest' in the next season or so.

There is a big panel which seems to used sparingly, should that have been utilised better ? No matter what a big day in NCP against the Dubs would have created a huge buzz, and who knows, they are not the force they were. Anyway, 'tis Tailteann Cup for us now ... which we should be targeting the business end of
