Yea. The Longford job will always be there for him.

Marys v SOH in Mohill saturday in the league final. hard to know what way it'll go. close to the championship maybe both teams might rest lads with niggles. I'm going for SOH though, they've a bit more firepower.

Replying To 3rdmidfielder:  "The Longford job would be the pick of the two jobs for an outside coach imo. Rock bottom under PC, a number of players didn't commit. Things can only get better. It might come down to the money available!!"
100% agree & with a crop of championship winning minors coming up, he'd have lots to work with.

Replying To leitrimlad15:  "Glenfarne are struggling this year.. they were a lot stronger last year and finished bottom of Division 3.

Cloone or Bornacoola but leaning towards the latter."
They are quite poor alright, none of those second strings would be afraid of them and are not guaranteed to top that group at all, winner will definitely come from the other group. Last chance saloon for likes of Cloone and Eslin as they will not have the resources to win it when bigger clubs are involved but should be Bornacoola's to lose

I'm not so sure about that if rumours about who may not be available next year are true. At the moment, a 3 year deal with Longford might be more appealing than one with Leitrim. I hope we secure his services but this has really thrown a cat amoungst the pigeons.

I'd be worried if Graham doesn't take the job we'll be in fire straits more lads may decide not to commit and division 3 next year will be a disaster. County board need to show leadership here

Sure no matter who we have we'll be in dire straits in div 3 anyway, even if we had a full compliment of players to pick from.

No Tom prior for SOH must be expecting a lot from young Honeyman

Gonna be without Pearce Dolan and Mark Plunkett for a start anyways sadly.

Emigrating?
They owe us nothing if that's the case. It's hard to keep going to the well year after year and next year will just be one tough game after another. On the plus side it's a chance for some u20s to step up.
I've heard Keith Beirne is back in Ireland now

He played for Cavan, NY, against Sligo last weekend in Gaelic Park. The game is up on YouTube.

League finals this weekend. My record at predicting games recently is atrocious. But this time, I'll be 100% correct.

Div 1
SOH v Mary's
I'm heading to this game. It's difficult to pick a winner. Mary's have been winning games without playing well. I'll go with my head and say SOH by 2pts.

Div 2
Melvin v Manor
Manor struggled towards the end of the league. Evan Sweeney's return could help Manor sneak it. Manor by 2.

Div 3
Dromahair v Aughavas
Aughavas have been the form team, but Dromahair got their act together after a shaky start. Dromahair is a senior team and should be too strong for a young Aughavas team.
Dromahair by 4.

Basically we're Donald Ducked. Enjoy the year out in Div 3

Half time score in div 1 league final, 5pts to 1pt! 1pt on a perfect evening for football. All that is wrong with football at the minute.

The draw for the SFC was made this evening...

Gortletteragh v Manorhamilton
Leitrim Gaels v Sean O'Heslins
Aughawillan v Annaduff
Dromahair v Mohill
Fenagh v St Mary's

Don't think there will be many suprises ...

Thought SOH would have been closer to Mary's, SOH looked very strong in the Spring League compared to Mary's but guess they're two different competitions and sounds like it was a rubbish game, both teams afraid to go all out and show their full hand this close to the competition that anyone really cares about.
The senior games look pretty straightforward alright, I'm expecting a lot of defensive low scoring games

Poor forwards and forward play a real problem in Leitrim club football. I don't know if there is any real forward coaching going on in the county at the minute.
