Replying To Solo_Run:  "Now lads, don't be like that. Wasn't our fault.

I remember it well, was at it. Didn't see it as a penalty "live", of course you don't see replays at the match. Standing with friend, didn't see anything wrong either. Saw the replay afterwards, was it foul technically yes - but it was awfully 'soft' and if refeering like that there would be frees every time two players came in contact. I wouldn't have been happy if given against us, and would have felt robbed.

Besides (1) in the long run you prospered, we regressed but hopefully on the up now - very young though, but talented, and contrary to some opinon here, I don't see them struggling physically - haven't so far against Sligo, Galway, Down and Carlow despite the youth (2) Who hasn't suffered at bad / soft decisions, Over a decade ago we had the clearest penalty I ever saw not given in the closing mins of a championship match vs Sligo to take the lead - it wasn't even close, I'm still not fully over it!!!

Anyway, different teams now, and have been pleased to see your progress back up to Division 2 - shows what can be done."
Ah I dont mean that in any bad way, as in an anti Leitrim way. As far as I remember every Leitrim poster on this site sympathised, and reckoned it was very soft.
But it should definitely be motivation for our lads all the same.

To be fair that Leitrim result probably done us a favour.

It delayed promotion for a year but we havent looked back since.

Away trips are never easy though.

Its own thing i really dislike about the structures, so much comes down to the luck of a draw, home advantage etc

Anyone know when fixture details, date & time, will be announced ? Just trying to organise things around family, work etc.

Obviously don't know when exactly fixtures details will be set, but what I do know is this:

For the last round, when the draw was also made on a Monday and there was also a two-week gap between games, the fixtures details were released at lunchtime on the Friday.

If that's anything to go by, could be waiting another few days yet.

Any word on injuries or will we have everyone available next day ?
D furlong & C Kehoe were sorely missed in fermanagh.

Time for this team to stand up to the challenge next Saturday week.
We played well below what we were capable of in the Fermanagh game.
As has been proven in the recent past we are a Jeckl and Hyde side. Very good in the league for the last few years and then well beaten in the championship. Against Laois last year and against Louth this year. We also gave poor displays in the Tailteen Cup over the two years.
This game against Leitrim won't be a walk in the park. They will be confident after winning last week and with an expected 12,000 home crowd to drive them on we will have to be at our best.
Midfield will be crucial and I expect big games from Hughes and Coleman.
Our forwards are definately better than what we witnessed in Brewster Park.
Hopefully we will be injury free before throw in.
I fully expect us to win. I think we will have too much skill and experience for the Leitrim lads but we will have to shake off the Fermanagh loss and get back to winning ways.

Only going by what they were saying on the Leitrim forum viking. They were adamant that their ground holds 12,000. Wishful thinking on their part.
