Replying To foreveryoung:  "Indeed I am not a Roscommon supporter. I'm a loud and proud yank with my closest ancestral affiliations being to counties Limerick and Tipperary.

I only answered a question that a Leitrim poster posed. Is there any sin in doing that?

But in case any poor ould Leitrim poster hasn't yet realized, blaming the County of Roscommon for everything high, dry and holy, won't fix anything at all in poor ould Leitrim.

FOCUS BOY!"

Replying To St.Conleth:  "Hard luck today. I was in Ballinamore for league and couldn't get over how young the team were. Also had a huge turnaround in players. After Mayo match I was expecting a much closer match today and in fairness there was nothing in it after 25 mins.
I was surprised with the Leitrim warm up/drills which were pretty intense for 30 mins before kick off! It was a warm evening too. I'm sure it took a bit out of your players by 2nd half. Everything seemed to go right for us today. Best of luck going forward"
Totally agree with this. What on earth were they doing in the warm up. Lengths and lengths of runs and silly warmup stuff. Management standing with their arms folded watching on while Kildare sitting in the dressing room reserving energy.

Haven't commented in a while as people got carried away with an ok performance against Mayo whole praising the manger for it. If people think he is still the right man for the job please give your head a wobble.

You have enough to be worrying about how poorly your own team is playing and being managed, never mind ours.

What do match going supporters in Leitrim make of the current management team? Do they accept that this is a 5 year project as Stephen has said, or do they believe a homegrown manager would get more out of the team. Finally, is the general consensus among Leitrim supporters, that the current management will be retained even if the team were to lose the remaining 2 fixtures?

Replying To bláthach:  "It did yes. It was on in Newbridge. Though if you and your compatriots learned how to use google you could have found that out yourself.

Yet another Roscommon poster on here making fun of young lads who are representing their county to the best of their ability, making smart snide remarks. I would seriously doubt these people would get within an asses roar of any county panel or be willing to give the commitment required, yet they can make fun of the lads who do.

And yet we have Leitrim people on here who continue to fawn over and plamás these Roscommon posters. I really wish they'd have more self respect."
Did you ever even kick a ball yourself blah-hack? I'd say you wouldn't kick snow off a rope, even in Alaska! Hyacinth Bouquet always comes to mind when I read your opinions!

I'd say the Leitrim Management are targeting the Sligo match if that were doing a heavy load before the game. No doubt ye will up it for us as ye always do at all levels. I don't know if Poacher is the right man or not but I will say your performance against Mayo was impressive especially defensively. It was better than ok. A repeat of that will really trouble us. I don't how you can be only 7-5 down to Kildare after 26 mins and they get outscored 29-6 for the remainder. That is hard to wrap my head around.

I can't imagine the county board want to go through the process of looking for a new manager again.
