What was the story with Duggan? Badly treated in Longfird and not given a chance or just wanted to follow in his fathers footsteps who was a fantastic footballer for us. Not sticking the knife in or anything just curious? Ros2013 (Roscommon) - Posts: 622 - 16/02/2026 12:33:35 2656770 Link
Replying To Ros2013: "What was the story with Duggan? Badly treated in Longfird and not given a chance or just wanted to follow in his fathers footsteps who was a fantastic footballer for us. Not sticking the knife in or anything just curious?" Previous manager was the issue where a fall out in college followed into the county set up. Another talented forward left at the same time as Duggan. He is no longer in the country. Two huge losses to our county team. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1506 - 16/02/2026 13:41:24 2656791 Link
Fair play to the lads on a powerful win yesterday. Under a lot of pressure and pulled out a very strong win to put us back in contention. Manager and players deserve the credit. I don't think we will be in the shakeup for promotion, but this year is about trying lads out and trying new things and getting a mix that works. Lots of positives from yesterday.

Jack played underage for Longford all the way up and was on the senior panel for three years getting very little game time. It is not stirring to say the reason he left was because of how he was treated liosbreac6265 (Longford) - Posts: 281 - 16/02/2026 17:20:05 2656851 Link

That was a point dropped today anyway. Quite wasteful in the first half with a lot of wayward shooting, along with being completely out of the game at midfield, that being said we showed some decent threat when taking on Tipp directly running straight through on goals. Should have kept the foot on their neck when 4 points, sitting back afraid to lose possession cost us the win. LongfordSham (Longford) - Posts: 143 - 22/02/2026 19:11:13 2657897 Link

May prove to be an important point come the end of the league. 2 home games and a trip to Carrick now to play leitrim. We probably need 6 points to make the top 2 now but given how much panic and disappointment there was after the london defeat it isn't so bad after all Clonbonnyrabbitt (Longford) - Posts: 105 - 25/02/2026 14:17:33 2658564 Link
Leagues were supposed to be starting the end of March, but did anyone hear a rumour that they will be delayed? Apparently still no final decision made on set up of the divisions. Normally fixtures would be up on the website by now, but nothing yet. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1506 - 26/02/2026 15:23:11 2658756 Link

Great win yesterday Rockshorecider (Longford) - Posts: 78 - 02/03/2026 10:59:44 2659439 Link
Brilliant win yesterday every man from 1-26 was brilliant the 2nd half perfomance against the wind was great , also great to see the passion shown by solan and the players through out the game a great response to the london defeat Longfordlad1985 (Longford) - Posts: 54 - 02/03/2026 12:15:50 2659464 Link
Replying To Longfordlad1985: "Brilliant win yesterday every man from 1-26 was brilliant the 2nd half perfomance against the wind was great , also great to see the passion shown by solan and the players through out the game a great response to the london defeat" Will we be in bother for using 26 players yesterday? That could possibly be a points deduction for us. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1506 - 02/03/2026 15:32:29 2659534 Link
Replying To Spinx: "Will we be in bother for using 26 players yesterday? That could possibly be a points deduction for us." Why was there no colmcille man on the top 26 yesterday. I drove from Dublin and while delighted with the win it seems strange one of the top clubs at senior level have not one player good enough to be on the 26 man panel while at least 4 div 2 starting with more on the bench. jack99 (Dublin) - Posts: 27 - 02/03/2026 16:42:49 2659561 Link
