Replying To Magpie2: "We will be a 2nd divison team and Fermanagh are now a 4th divison team. I think we beat them in the league when both teams were 3rd divison by 4 points I believe.
That game was in Brewster Park Fermanagh and we now face the long journey back up there again.
After our demolition of Limerick in round one, we will surely be full of confidence on Sunday next.
I think it will be tough enough to get the win but if we have a full deck to pick from and we play to our potential then we should advance to the next round.
Please note - The game is streamed live on Gaa + at 12.40 pm." Agree with you, we should be going into this game as favorites and its only the road trip that is the concern. This is a big one for the team, they have to show the consistency with backing up results.

No Cathal Kehoe on the squad for tomorrow, is he injured ? He's played a lot of football in last 2 or 3 months, senior at weekends & u 20 midweek, very hard to maintain that schedule.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Hard luck to the lads, didnt quite click up front. We have one of Wicklow, Leitrim, Sligo or Longford next up, could be home or away. If we win that we could be away to Laois, Offaly, Antrim or New York, though not sure we would be away to New York.

Really poor showing today against Fermanagh.
Wides and more wides were a regular occurance.
They controlled the game almost totally.
We looked like a 4th divison team and Fermanagh looked like a 2nd divison side.
The game was a bore fest.
We were lethargic and slow in our movements.
We were obsessed with lateral passing and getting nowhere when eventually going forward.
It will be said that we didn't have Cathal
Kehoe, Dylan Furlong and Sean Nolan through injury but it can also be said that Fermanagh were without 3 of their named players before throw in.
The bottom line is we are a good league team.
It was absolutely great but when it comes to the leinster championship and even the Tailteen Cup we wilt big time.
Forget about the Limerick game , they were simply dreadful.
Evidence - lost to Laois in Leinster last year by a big score and lost to Louth this year by a big score.
Tailteen cup - lost to Fermanagh last year and lost again today.
At the end of the day all teams will be judged by their championship results.
That's where it really matters.
The league is fine but it's quickly forgotten when it gets to the business end of things in the championship.

Dont think you can keep a peak going performance wise for more than a month or so. League was the most important thing for us this year, same as last year. We arent good enough to win Leinster right now, so what's the point peaking for it?
We might still give the TC a rattle this year, none of our next 4 possible opponents are unbeatable, especially if we are luckier with the draw and get a home game, and if we win our next game none of the 4 possible teams we would meet in a QF are unbeatable either, although we will be away if we get there unless we are drawn with NY.

A disappointing performance today, some of the shooting in first half was awful. It was plain to be seen that the lads lost their shooting confidence & seemed to be afraid to shoot after those misses.
Fermanagh were sharper in attack, their pace was impressive compared to our slow slow build up.
Having said that, the crucial decision before half time was baffling, a definite foul ( and probable black card) was ignored and we were penalised by a subsequent 2pointer when one of our mentors let his feelings be known to the referee.

By the way ( hypothetical I know), but if we were playing an ulster team in the Park would they agree to a referee who lives 35 minutes up the road?
