Replying To Collio:  "We'll agree to disagree, I think 1, maybe 1 starts when footballers are all fit."
Who's the "we"? You're the only one on here that's disagreeing!

The "we" is me, myself, I and the person who I responded to. Who in fact, was not "you".

Replying To CARPS:  "I find it incredibly hard to believe that Palatine only one have one player in the top 30 best players in Carlow, but Eire Og have around ten..."
Crowley was the only Pal player to commit this year. None of the others bothered. Thats not Joe Murphys fault. Ten Eire Og players contributed to Carlow winning the league.

Replying To No_ID:  "He is back!

It's been a while since you took a swipe at Eire Og, was getting worried about you"
I'm not having a swipe at Eire Og. I'm complaining about Palatine.

You misunderstood my point.

Both of your last two performances were free shots at higher ranked teams, so no pressure, like Wicklow against the Dubs.
Sunday is back to brass tacks at our own level, we seem fully focused on getting the result.
So is be very confident of getting job done..

It didn't read like that, but interested to hear how many you think they should have on the squad.

I agree they are curremtly under represented

As mentioned here previously, only 4 Pal players were asked into senior panel pre league.
Crowley,
Ciaran Moran, who has retired after many years of great service, now has family and is not living in Carlow,
Cian Cashman, who played during the O'Byrne cup and was then let go from the panel after the O Byrne cup shield, in which he had started.
Finbar Kavanagh, who didn't commit as he is sitting final accountancy exams.
No others were asked.
Since the league finished Bryan McMahon was asked but is currently injured, so there was no point.
Pal did contribute 8 players to the county u-20 panel.
This thing of Pal not bothering is rubbish. The reality is that they don't have enough players up to the standard of playing inter county football, in county managements eyes, compared to other clubs

Will be in Carrick this weekend and intending to take in yeer game (After the Kerry Donegal game on TV). Yee should be favs although yee haven't won a game since the NFL which is surprising? Yee beat Leitrim by a cricket score in NFL and they've injuries this time round so I'd expect an easy one for yee although they've been impressive this summer.
Good luck and hoping for a good game. Will many travel up?

Unfortunately it's a fairly depleted looking team picked heading up to Carrick tomorrow. None of the injured players are back, and Hulton is still suspended. By my count we're down 5 certain starters and they happen to among our strongest players. We've still got plenty of forward options on the bench and competition for places up there but we're looking weak enough and inexperienced around midfield especially. Personally I'd like to see John Phiri start there along with Conor Doyle.

Hopefully we'll get dry ball and good ground which might help us rack up another good score but the other end might be the problem as forwards are Leitrim's strongest area too.
