Can't blame management clearly players have to look at themselves if they are losing so many finals

I don't agree, same management for both finals with the same group of players, Management have to take responsibility!!!! Losing 1 final while being hot favourites is unlucky, Losing 2 in a row is just totally not good enough.

At least Clarke (if he's still there) will have plenty of Intermediate experience on the line with him, when they are down playing in it in 2027!

Ah I suppose you're right both equally to blame I feel. They lost in 14 and 17 is it just that they have the bottling gene and is their anyone who can get them where they claim they should be

You'll still be a hurler on the ditch no matter what happens.

Do they claim that they deserve to be a senior team?
One senior title to their name over a century ago and only one other senior final appearance since then, which they also bottled.
They are an Intermediate team at best.

I see John Twaddle is managing Athlone next year.
They seem to have a good batch of young players coming through.
Will he awaken the sleeping giant in Westmeath?!!

Managing Athlone, sleeping giants in Westmeath. What has this got to do with Longford football matters which this forum is for.

Not sure I'm not in around the team or the people but with some of the players they have should be winning intermediate whether they could survive in senior is another thing

Is John Twaddle not a Longford Gael?
So you are trying to tell me, that anything that happens to a Longford person or team outside the county should not be spoke of in this forum?!!!
I think it deserves a mention!!
