Replying To Collio:  "Very true, carlow were very poor and Leitrim much better team. However, what I saw and heard from Leitrim management, players and supporters yesterday was something I've never seen in my years following G.A.A., I used to have a soft spot for yee but can't say I do any longer. I don't know if I'd like my county to ever stoop that low even if it did mean getting a result in tailteann cup round 2B."
Probably giving out at you I'd say.

Sorry to hear that ( and surprised).

Couldn't make the game yesterday unfortunately - was listening on radio. Did seem to be a bit going on at half-time from what I could make out..... but obviously can't comment.

I was optimistic about Leiitrim's chances - but got doubts once it was clear both Barry McNulty and Tom Prior were out. But then saw Carlow also had injury woes - so levelled the playing field so to speak. We've played a lot over the years in Div 4 (excluding the years one of us gets promoted)...... just seems to me that we generally win in Carrick, and you win in Carlow. Not sure I could back that up with stats but definitely feels that way.

I have a 'soft spot' for Carlow (and Wicklow and Waterford), like to see them do well. Just like to see one of us stay up in Div 3.

Best of luck in Div 3 - could be dependent on having a full-hand for most matches. I do think Div 3 is tough - usually 3 to 4 teams who are of a higher standard - but you can only progress from playing better oppostion.
