Don't forget Leitrim's other neighbours who won- Donegal beat Armagh, and Cavan beat Kildare
Is there nothing that can be done about Roscommon posters coming on here being demeaning towards Leitrim? Seems to be pages and pages of particular posters on here being WUMs and they are getting away with it

I agree with this thanks so much for highlighting. The ironic thing is they are the ones who get annoyed please if anyone dare suggest that their little team is not as good as they think (which is true) thank you all for agreeing. They would do well to remember previosu years where they were much fitter than teams in the league thank you and then calved in the championship- the same will happen this year.
But the mods should either ban these posters or stop putting up their posts on this page- I am sure they young Leitrim footballers look on this forum please and thanks and all they see are people making fun of them. Have some respect- it is not that hard. Thank you.

Probably the best thing young Leitrim footballers can do is see what's being said here by simple Rossies. Motivation.
Once again why is the Admin letting so much nonsense being posted on here?
It has taken me a few days to come to terms with Leitrim performance last Sunday. One of the most deflating performances I've seen from Leitrim in over 30 years going to games. This was an Antrim team bereft of confidence playing in our home ground and we did noting to take the game to them. It takes away the opportunity of promotion for the year and reality bring an end to the Steven Poacher era which means we will be starting from ground zero again.
I posted here last week saying we should not be underestimating Antrim and it proved to be the case. Added in to the fact that 2/3 best players in McNulty and Tom Prior weren't fit to start and we were going to be up against it. Did Cillian McGloin injure himself in his first game back against London (hence why he was taken off in the first half) or has he left the panel since?
To be honest it looked like our only game plan was to wait for Barry McNulty to come on and play the hero card and save the day again. He was excellent again but thats surely not a way for any management team to set up a team.
Attacking wise in the First Half (apart from get the ball to Ryan O'Rourke who was being double marked) we seemed to have no plan against the wind. We had no ideas on how to break Antrim down in either fast counter attacks or in slow attacks when they had everyone back. We didn't trust Oisin McLoughlin or Paul Honeyman to get at their markers at all even though we all know they are well capable of doing so. We then took Oisin McLoughlin off for the second half when we had the wind even though he is a 2 point threat?
Defensively in the First half we were at Sea, If Antrim were in anyway a half decent outfit they would have been ahead by 15 or 16 points at the break. We were sitting back in a low block and not putting any pressure on the ball what so ever. They could get a shot off at every attack. We didn't seem to have a plan for our '3up' players. Constantly we had McNamara, Quinn and another defender left as our 3 attacking players while attackers tried to defend - Honeyman made a mistake for their last goal exactly from this. We showed no intent or defensive know-how and every time Antrim ran at us they had success. Our discipline is poor. Eoin McLoughlin, McNamara, Diffley and Quinn all gave away soft frees and were getting involved in needless stuff off the ball. The reality is this comes from the line. In the Middle third we were taken apart. We couldn't win the ball in the air or we couldn't get near a break. dismantled. I'm not sure if this is a structure thing in how we are set up or its the reality of the personnel we have available. We need Conor Quinns height and ability but he becomes a liability with his lack of maturity throughout games.
We don't have a number 6 who can control the game from deep or we don't have an 11 who can link the play when we are in possession. Solving both of these issues in an immediate concern before our next game. That's a selection issue and Poacher will have to be brave about dropping or moving more experienced players from their favoured positions.
Any update on injuries?
We need to be seeing some progression and development of our players and some accountability from management. The results and or performances have been terrible as a whole both this year and last year. We still have excellent players available to us so we can't just write everything off as a 3 year plan or whatever.
