Replying To moros: "Nay problem bud. The Hyde is fine. Actually beautiful thanks and the scene of your last great success in 95. Mind the head in Elphin where the natives will keep you well looked after. Genuine folk. Make sure ye have the numbers for the game. That's very very important. Love you loads." Hard to call a swampish field surrounded by old concrete terracing beautiful but beauty is in the eye of the beholder they say. I am sure the people of Elphin are great fair play to them. I have already visited the windmill today and it is an incredible spectacle, the great pyramids have nothing on it alalalalalum (USA) - Posts: 204 - 03/01/2026 22:19:53 2649622 Link

A lot of the issue comes from people from neighbouring counties coming into our forum spouting nonsense please and thanks. Then they get offended when they hear some home truths please. I find it great though as it keeps our forum busy and entertaining thank you to all who contribute to this, unlike some other boring drab forums where know it all posters hog it with multiple accounts. Thank you very much to everyone. bláthach (Leitrim) - Posts: 375 - 04/01/2026 09:57:35 2649655 Link

I had a more withering observation in for moderation but it has been declined. I'll have a shot with it on the Trump platform and see will it fly…..

You can let us know if it is successful and we will have a star studded premiere for it alalalalalum (USA) - Posts: 204 - 04/01/2026 12:06:36 2649680 Link
Replying To alalalalalum: "Thank you, I have already arrived at the Orchard Park and have set up a tent outside to sleep overnight to make sure I get a good seat for the game. I'm just wondering is Dr Hyde Park bogged again or why is the game in this leafy outpost of the county." Wasted journey to Elphin for you fella with the game moved to bekan, was there last night to see Galway, wrap up warm and you'll be super, thanks.

After a brisk walk on the Orchard Park this morning I figured it was going to be deemed unplayable and so I must leave beautiful Elphin and head to Mayo for this fixture. We may not have had the football but we'll always have the windmill. alalalalalum (USA) - Posts: 204 - 04/01/2026 12:34:52 2649686 Link

Replying To bláthach: "What numbers are you talking about to my fellow poster please? Do we need a code to get in to game thanks!? Is it 1,2,1,2?? Be easy to remember for you thanks so much seeing as you are up and down thanks so much from division 1 and 2. Thank you." Sunglasses you need and leave the cream at home. Bring plenty of player.

Fairly sobering result that , unless we have a a good few to come back we're in for a tough year. A far from full strength Roscommon team destroyed us. JimmyNail (Leitrim) - Posts: 315 - 04/01/2026 16:05:41 2649712 Link

Replying To moros: "Sunglasses you need and leave the cream at home. Bring plenty of player. Hugely important. Hugs and love." Why would I need sunglasses please and thanks so much? Was there no pitch at all playable in the county today for the game? Are they all that bad? Thanks in advance for your answers to these questions. bláthach (Leitrim) - Posts: 375 - 04/01/2026 17:48:11 2649740 Link

Thanks in advance for your answers to these questions." I take your point thanks very very much. Elphin wasn't right due bad frost and ice. No point having you people's travelling long distances to see that filleting. Nay problem bud. Keep the faith. Huggles! moros (Roscommon) - Posts: 1210 - 04/01/2026 18:08:55 2649749 Link
Replying To JimmyNail: "Fairly sobering result that , unless we have a a good few to come back we're in for a tough year. A far from full strength Roscommon team destroyed us." That was quite a strong Roscommon team and they are going well in training trying to make the cut before the Brigids and strokestown lads come back so I wouldn't read too much into it. Our new manager is ruthless which is badly needed as We were due a shake up. Ros2013 (Roscommon) - Posts: 593 - 04/01/2026 18:26:14 2649755 Link
