Replying To #Putitup: "Who locally do you look for ? The manager needs to be someone that will be respected by club players and will put structures in place with county board from 1st meeting. I was speaking to a player yesterday who said they were waiting on a Tuesday afternoon to see if they had to go to Dublin to train or if it would be local, the week before meath championship they trained in Forgney, Pitch was only cut for them and loads of holes and bumps. Who-ever comes in needs to Dictate the standards and not be a yes man, then the players will follow that and can have no excuses, the setanta group should be already workingwith any u20 and senior players that were involved to be screening as much as possible to see where they are through club season. He doesn't have to be a coach, there is 3r4 really good coaches in the county but also it can be a good outside coach. If it was to be outside the county manager obviously Mickey Graham is no.1 but after that is it a Luke Dempsey, Fergal O'Donnell or Dermot McCabe that have been in Longford club football before and not just a name that has no real attachment. Locally then you have a number of lads that have been in there at some level before selectors or u20s." Luke Dempsey had his turn. Hitachi (Longford) - Posts: 15 - 25/07/2024 17:34:51 2561563 Link
Replying To Hitachi: "Luke Dempsey had his turn." I'm not saying he is the option, I actually don't think he's the right one but I just suggested 3 who have intercounty experience and also been in the club game in Longford the last number of years. Could add Frankie Dolan to it now too #Putitup (Longford) - Posts: 38 - 25/07/2024 18:48:34 2561576 Link
Replying To LongfordgaaAbú: "Inevitable that PC was going to go. Might take a while to fill the role. Very unlikely to be anyone from outside the county. Not a job many would want at the moment." Plenty will want the cash that comes with it. The CB won't have to look too long if they don't want to liosbreac6265 (Longford) - Posts: 234 - 26/07/2024 09:44:47 2561656 Link
Eamon O'Hara managing Mohil in Leitrim just down the road was snubbed for the Sligo Job and has been with Mohil since. I'd personally like to see him manage Leitrim but Longford is a better job right now for someone with little inter county management experience. Realistically if you get the best 20-25 players in Longford committed for 2025 then you will get out of Div 4. The big one would yee gamble on Rory Gallagher? Obviously not gambling on his football coaching but the potential backlash of the appointment lugdrum (Leitrim) - Posts: 350 - 26/07/2024 11:07:05 2561681 Link

Even a club in Monaghan got slated for letting him take a session. Any team that gives him a job is asking for trouble Bluelake (Westmeath) - Posts: 89 - 26/07/2024 13:09:39 2561732 Link

Can't see it happening it's a risk not many people will be willing to take. lugdrum (Leitrim) - Posts: 350 - 26/07/2024 14:53:46 2561789 Link

The problems in Leitrim are deep rooted and you want to add Rory Gallagher to it. Christ of almighty. Anyhow, Rory Gallagher won't kick pints over the bar.

How would women in Longford or Leitrim feel about having him in charge of the team they support? Leitrimforliam (Leitrim) - Posts: 289 - 29/07/2024 14:54:44 2562664 Link

Replying To John45: "why would james mcgivney be suspended for 12 weeks" He got involved in a melee at the end of the Abbeylara game. I seen the video. Hitachi (Longford) - Posts: 15 - 29/07/2024 15:13:34 2562679 Link
Yea the guy who told me said he was serving a suspension for that game but then got involved in brawl at the end of game from position of waterboy. Sure if suspended he can't even be waterboy? #Putitup (Longford) - Posts: 38 - 29/07/2024 16:30:56 2562712 Link
Fair play to the three guys for doing the preview and review shows on YouTube for the championship games. Adds a bit of a buzz to it that's been missing. Rockshorecider (Longford) - Posts: 23 - 30/07/2024 23:25:16 2563158 Link
Some win for Carrickedmond jeez Clonguish could be in a struggle to qualify. Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 391 - 31/07/2024 21:10:04 2563306 Link
Clonguish going nowhere it seems. You can talk about 2/3 players missing which is a cop out. Clueless at times, keeper a massive issue with KO's and playing fly keeper gets the team in trouble. Killoe would never lose that match tonight with the players their missing. williesboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 367 - 31/07/2024 21:11:57 2563307 Link
