Replying To moros:  "Ros are in Division one love and have three wins. Yes and we still have the fears of relegation. Hopefully it will work out. As for yourselves. Could you get relegated from Division four. Now that really would be "calving" as you say. Keep it up in the air and keep working hard. Please thank you very much."
I've been looking at Roscommon thread and you haven't posted anything on it in two weeks yet you're never off here on this thread. I know you Roscommon folk like to come to Leitrim to party etc as there is nowhere in your own county but surely your contributions would be more valuable on your own page

Replying To Tirchonaill1:  "Just popped here don't bite my head off,
what about trying how they do things in Kerry where they have teams made up of the best players from junior/intermediate clubs from different parts of the county play in the senior Championship?
you have teams like east Kerry, south Kerry etc. gives them players a chance to show their stuff at a higher level."
It has been mentioned numerous times here, there doesn't seem to be the appetite for it or boots on the ground to administer it. My idea was to organise the teams via a mix of current county management. Perhaps North / South Leitrim enter a team.

Just calling out the lack of love. Nights out. Sure half of Carrick is ours. Lovely entertainment in Ros town or our side of Athlone too. Best of luck with everything. Less of the bile lads and more of the love. Keep the ball high and reach for the stars.

Replying To bláthach:  "I think we need to support the lads at this critical juncture of the five year programme please thanks so much. It's not all going to be plain sailing thanks in advance for agreeing.

Look at Sligo, they're also struggling with a new manager please. Roscommon have calved earlier than normal too thank you with a new manager. It takes time. Thanks everyone."
Of course, you all need to support Leitrim now more than ever. There's no point throwing the baby out with the bath water. I remember a couple of years ago when New York beat youse in the championship, well the backbiting and nastiness of so-called Leitrim supporters towards their own team and players at that time was beyond all, even from certain ex-county players. There was no meaning to it at all. I mean, but for a kick of a ball the same evening ye might have beaten us Americans. Ye weren't that bad at all on the night, but you'd swear the team had committed holy murder such was the reaction around the county. I hope things don't go that way again, and that ye'll keep supporting the lads who are togging out and trying their best for the county.

You will find a lot of clubs will not throw in for it, will not want their players playing for a team that's not their club in case their get injured and miss out on their clubs campaign, parish is everything and I get it but for outside managers getting expenses they're not going to want to risk best players to get senior experience at the detriment to the club they are responsible for.
