Thought we done reasonably well against a very decent Roscommon team. Some days the balls go over the bar more than wides but not yesterday. You can't have shooting accuracy like yesterday and expect to win. Real positive was the fight back to the very end. The new rules make for much more exciting games though and I'd rather lose in a game like yesterday than win a game 0-0-08 to 0-07 which was happening under the old rules. ged (Louth) - Posts: 305 - 03/02/2025 17:02:19 2589261 Link 1 |
Hadn't saw that one but if true then we would have had another point. Anything could have happened. Don't think Joey was at same game. New rules mean a big lead can be hauled back quickly. This nearly happened yesterday and also last week.. Good that our lads are fighting. I'd have good hopes for them.

Roscommon much better team on Sunday, fully deserved the win, wont criticize our lads too much , still a few missing and craig lennon early departure a blow. louthman57 (Louth) - Posts: 297 - 04/02/2025 09:56:21 2589362 Link 0 |
Rossies the better outfit and good luck to them, they'll get promoted. Our lads battled well and with so many missing players its great to see so many young lads and new players getting a run out. Cavan is a must win for sure and they badly need a win on their home patch. Shearer (Louth) - Posts: 902 - 04/02/2025 13:43:23 2589432 Link 0 |
New rules reinstate a dominant midfield wins you the game. Kick outs all contested. Louth need to be street wise with the shooting for 2 point scores particularly around frees received Ajam2777 (Louth) - Posts: 13 - 05/02/2025 22:54:06 2589697 Link 0 |
I think the new rules are ideal for Deckie Byrne in goals. See what Rafferty did for Armagh on Saturday night. Kicking long points etc as he did for Mochta's last year.

Another Westerns man on the way to a Monaghan club. Don't like to see it personally. Eddie the Exile (Monaghan) - Posts: 1147 - 06/02/2025 11:42:25 2589734 Link 0 |
No complaints. The best team won. The Rossies took their chances. Louth did not. That was some crowd there in Drogheda. It was their first league game there in five years. More worrying they have not won a league match there since 2019. Ollie2 (Louth) - Posts: 970 - 07/02/2025 09:19:26 2589843 Link 0 |
Its very disappointing to see this happen Westerns. They've nurtured some top talent there in the form of Tommy Durnin and this young Maguire chap. How are their mentors feeling who put the hours and years in at juveniles? It's not easy on smaller clubs in the county and I can foresee senior amalgamations in the not to distant future or even clubs disbanding. County board aren't in touch with the smaller rural clubs. They've increased the monthly levee to €300 per month after running the €200 Darver levee for the last 15 years and its been the same for all clubs. Clubs like the Seans, Westerns, Ann Rovers etc pay the same as a Cooley Kirkham's and there's a vast difference in membership fee take ups which leads to a larger financial They've allowed top young talent leave smaller clubs to larger clubs, they've allowed senior and intermediate clubs vote on league matters this year without proper consultation and dialogue, they've entered a D4 team in to the KMS shield. A few years ago there was a proposal for a Baile Talun type parish regional team to enter the senior championship and it was rejected, at least this would have helped Westerns etc keep these guys.

Compliments to the producers of last week's programme. Lots of interesting stuff like what Ollie has in his head. E.g. captains since 1943 or number of games played by current panelists. Keep it up. 19616609 (Louth) - Posts: 1663 - 11/02/2025 17:08:00 2590646 Link 0 |
Paddy Keenan was the best Louth captain we ever had. What a player and a what leader. A role model on and off the pitch.

Paddy was super. He had so many great games against top teams but one performance I won't forget . We were playing Waterford in Frahers Field in Dungarvan in the last round of the 2011 Division 3 league. Half way through the second half we were well down and heading to Division 4. Paddy turned the switch and took off. Twenty minutes later we were in Division Two and qualified for the division final which we won. The sheer joy of it and the changed mood for all in red. Paddy played for Ireland against Australia one Saturday night in Croke Park and turned out for the Pats the following morning in the Clans field. A man for all seasons. 19616609 (Louth) - Posts: 1663 - 14/02/2025 00:32:45 2590916 Link 0 |
