Replying To Blackbog:  "When Div 4 started
Paddy Power had Antrim and Wicklow odds on Promotion
We were 15/2. we are now 1/8 for promotion.
Still 4 games to go .. i think we will get promotion and have a feeling rightly or wrongly that Tipperary could also go up.
They go head to head with Leitrim and Wicklow and I think they are capable of beating both"
And I would say both are well capable of beating Tipperary. In fact, Tipperary haven't bet us in a few years. Not many teams run out with 7 out of 7, some where someone slips up. And I also think Longford & London might have something to say about matters as well. This division is wide open. I still think the game between ourselves and yourselves will be a key one.

Could well be a crucial game
But fingers crossed we might be home and hosed by then

However I agree the division is wide open with 6 teams still in contention and antrim and Waterford definitely capable of causing upset.

Could well be proved wrong but I feel Tipp have not shown their best yet
Very lively forward line and strong midfield

No need to be curt to our Leitrim cousins.
Both counties are the perennial minnows and when they have a chance of some kind of limelight if only temporary . We should allow that.
The Leitrim v Carlow game will have spice enough with the return of messrs Poacher and St. ledger

Thinking Tipperary might be a good bet at even money to beat longford at the weekend based on their form last weekend and whilst longford had a good win up in Antrim Antrim are going very bad and wind had huge factor to play in that game

Well you already have shown not to know much about thw Leitrim team so to be honest, I'll take that with a pinch of salt. I have nothing but respect for Carlow, we have both been in the lower Divisions for a long time. it's a pity you haven't got the same.
