Replying To Beelzedub:  "Great first half from Niall Scully
Top performance from him
Keep it going, Dubs were hungry there
More of the same needed in the second half"
How Jarly Og got black carded for the half time incident and Scully got nothing was a bit baffling.

Replying To Magpie2:  "Totally irrelevant. I neither hate the English or love them. We are talking about sport. Cheering for France was daft and shows that certain people store bitterness and hatred in their hearts.
It has to be remembered that atrocities were performed by all sides, IRA, Loyalists and British soldiers. Thankfully the dreadful violence ended many years ago and now there is peace.
The bottom line is that if England won we would be six nations champions. To cheer for France means you would be wishing ireland to finish second.
How stupid is that.
High time to Bury the dreaded hatchet."
Grow up, cheering for France means not cheering for England. So if we cheered for England does that mean we hate France? On the killings in the North you mention IRA first just like media outlets. Blind eye took from you to IRA killings back in 1916 and you got your peace, the North didn't. Three important letters, ABE.

Replying To MonaghanMan44life:  "The worst half of football I've seen all year.."
Grim. -60 or thereabout scoring difference. Maher had the freedom of the pitch. No one laid a glove on him.
Monaghan never on top at any point over the 70+ minutes.
Senior players know they haven't a hope. Newer players too small or not clued in at all.
They look totally demoralised.
Eddie Walsh getting his usual 5 minutes when the game is over. What is the point of a substitution like that?
Guys getting 30 minutes and then taken off.
Are they any direction from the management about how to play at all because it's the same week in week out.
It looks like a shambles.
For once I'm not really looking forward to the next game or the championship.

Replying To Magpie2:  "Why say " come on France"
As you well know if England had held out in those last few seconds we would be champions.
Do you hate the English that much that you would prefer France to win. Even at our cost?
I, like the majority of right thinking people was cheering and hoping that England would win and land the big prize for Ireland.
To think otherwise is silly in the extreme."
No right minded Irishman cheers on England, if they beat France so be it but don't cheer them on.

Would your opinion of the English be the same if you lived in the six counties all your life?

Regardless of today, we probably will need a result v dublin. A win today gives us a slighly better chance of survival but doesnt guarantee it. And i am concerned that we might not get the win today too. We are a decent team currently with great heart which means we can compete with anyone, but most teams can be competitive with us too. League results to date ,-3,-1,+1 and 2 draws.

Replying To TheBarrowLad:  "A Fenagh man scoring a goal for London against Carlow tonight"
It could happen again next Sunday as Leitrim's forwards are likely to include 3 Fenagh men (O'Rourkes X 2 and McLoughlin).

Leitrim won't get an easier win than that all year. We are going no where fast apart from across the pitch. Just when you think we have turned a corner…….

Replying To Square_B:  "That's some score at half time, lots to play for next week. London, yourselves, Carlow & Longford (even if they loose) all in with a shout. The tightest Division 4 in years."
I'm delighted to see your lads getting their act together also. Leitrim have always been a proud footballing county, picking from a smaller pool than most counties. We have always struggled to beat you and I'd say Leitrim are in front in the head to heads. I also have to admire the humility and realism of the posters on your very active forum, unlike some others.

How Do We Take Hurling On From Here - 1 Like(s)

Replying To Canuck:  "Hurling unique skills are something that requires learning like ice hockey from when you start walking. If you are not right and left handed you are not going to to excel at it. In football it is helpful to be right and left footed but not as detrimental. There are some contributory to why it does not grow outside the top counties. The biggest is public interest in the secondary competitions. The GAA do z lot of talking but little action. These secondary competition games should be played before the premier ones at the same grounds. Only give tv rights if both games are showed. Have entry tickets at a reduced cost before the so called big game. When the kids can see their team on the big stage interest will change. I know there are many other considerations but interest is where it has to start. Gaelic football has the same issues but maybe not to the same degree."
No offence meant to the poster here but if you want to grow hurling we need to get away from this thinking.

This idea that its unique, can't be learned unless you have a hurl from birth, its not possible unless you've done this or that by whatever age etc etc.

Its the same elitist message hurljng has a tendency to preach which hinders the very development of the game. Clubs hear this and say sure why bother? No point, its too late.

The message should be yes, you can hurl, anyone can hurl, you can start hurling whenever you want, its isnt this mystical achievement beset by rules of engagement, just get them playing the game and jt will grow.

Hurling loves nothing more than putting up barriers of greatness to people and wonder why we can't grow the game.

Replying To Scenicparish:  "As I said before League form has no bearing on the Championship. Most teams use it to blood young players and extend the panel of players they can use."
I wouldn't say most teams, for at least half the teams in the country League is more important than Championship in Football.
