Replying To Gantric:  "We all knew Forde retired recently, the crew I hang out with would be very knowledgeable football men and we know Leitrim football inside out. We cannot wait for the game, everyone I've spoke to this week expects a straight forward enough win for us but I hope ye enjoy the game regardless."
You are having a laugh Gantric.
Matter Ford retired years ago.

Don't mind the characters on the Leitrim Forum.

They are wind up artists.

As a shrewd Leitrim football man I will give ye 1 tip to try to level the playing field. Tell your kit man to bring gloves as it has been raining here. It's these small details that can make a difference.

Our lads hands are like ball magnetic shovels. They wont need gloves!

Time to stand tall and go out today and prove that we are serious contenders in the Tailteen Cup.
I'm putting my head on the block here as this post may be read by many after the game.
Can't see Martin O'connor or Cathal Kehoe sitting on the bench for long. Perhaps one if not both will in fact start.
If we play a fast direct game, unlike the Fermanagh loss, and if we take our chances, like we can, then we should win with something to spare.
The thing is though, we can be inconsistent as has been the case in the championship and Tailteen Cup last year and this year so far.
Nothing will surprise me in this game.

one of the few games so far this year i did not travel to see, felt it was a "no win" type of game, they finished 31st in the league, loosing would hard to imagine and nothing can be read in to winning it, and thats how it turned out, now lets hope for the luck of the draw now it gets serious away to offally-laois or antrim [could be wrong]

Never really in danger against a really poor Leitrim team, conceded a sloppy goal from a free near end. Eoghan Nolan off injured again which would be a worry, leg iced up. Coleman excellent again in midfield, unlucky to be sent off yellow and a black. Will need to improve a lot to go further.

I think it's if we ready the semi finals? I might be mistaken?

Leitrim were poor overall, when I got there and saw Barry McNulty in a protective boot I was thinking we would win.
At the same time they brought on a sub, number 20, think his name is Jack Kelly, and his performance was worth the drive up by itself. Apparently hes only 19 but along with Whitaker from Westmeath he was a shining light this year for me for how Football should be played.

"]You're right about the " no win" bit.
Leitrim very poor in 1st half, game over at half time and you could see how hard it was for our lads to achieve the same intensity after half time.
Ist half was performance good though, polar opposite to the Fermanagh game where the shooting was awful.
Yesterday there was good fast counterattack football and good use if possession.
It'd going to be another road trip next weekend, to Laois, Offaly or Antrim. Any preferences ?

Somebody asked same thing over on one of the Wexford hurling threads during the week, and the answer still is:

- If we lose next weekend (June 13/14), then club championships will start weekend commencing Friday June 26, with the usual format.
- If we make but lose a TC semi-final the following weekend (June 20/21), then club championships will start weekend commencing Friday July 3. Again, same format. Only difference is there won't be a free weekend.
- If footballers make it all the way to the Tailteann Final on July 11, club championships go back to the weekend commencing Friday July 24, and we move to the other format where it'd still be six teams in each group, but just the top two going straight through to semi-finals. Bottom two in each group to play relegation semi-finals.

Must be said however our 2nd half performance was disappointing. I know we had a huge lead at half time but we went far too defensive after the break. Why? Surely we were capable of playing as we did in the first half instead of allowing them to mount attacks and cutting our lead back so much.
We seemed to go back into our shell.
Yes the game was as good as over at half time
but it's highly unlikely that we will get it as easy against the better teams left in the competition.
