Replying To Tacaí Liatroma:  "That's absolutely correct. I didn't see a gigantic scoreboard in the scoreboard end of the ground in Carrick. I did see a very large hoarding advertising something, I can't remember what. I thought maybe it was an electronic scoreboard, but alas it never changed. As I said, there was a big tower just outside the shed and it clearly obscured my view. I don't live in Leitrim any more, and if you go back a couple of pages you'll see this was my first game in Carrick in a long time.

And I was including those who make a skit out of Leitrim in my criticism."
Just a pity now you didn't find another spot in the 95% of the ground not being blocked by this hoarding, shame really but hopefully it didn't ruin your visit to the game otherwise. From my view the scoreboard was excellent.

I didn't notice you mentioning other county people in your criticisms but fair enough

Replying To bláthach:  "Very poor game last night to be honest thanks so much and one that we left behind us again against the weakest team we have played without any doubt. Thanks for agreeing. Only for their lucky goals we could have won but wasn't to be please. If we had full team we would have won no doubt. Thank you."
Weakest team, how did that work out?

Fair play to the Roscommon u20s last night watched them against us , Galway in the semi and mayo last night their performance last night was far better than anything else they played in the championship. Carthy , henegan and kilcline were brilliant for Roscommon. I'm sure most Roscommon fans will admit they were very poor against us albeit shocking conditions a 2 point win where they got 2 fortunate goals . I think they'll win minor and seniors now too , to make it a clean sweep at provincial level. It shows the good work Roscommon have put into the last 10/15 years at undersge bearing dividends, hopefully our lads stick at it plenty of positives at u20 4 of the 5 games we were very competitive. At minor I think half the team is underage next year which makes a huge difference at u17. I know a lot slagged poacher off about his "standards " but he's got a right tune of the players in the championship hopefully we give the tailteann a good go as tough a start as they come but if we play like we've done in championship so far we're well able to compete. I think getting out of div 4 is critical hopefully we have cox, Keaney, d Casey back along with foley plunkett and Dolan I think a few from this years u20 in fox , Kerr , Farrell will be in the squad next year but time will tell.

Yes they were the weakest team we played, thank you so much, As evidenced by the closesness of the score please as you could see if you were at the games this year which you eveidently were not.

On that particular evening they were weak so your point is what??

By the way I think you have posted under the wrong username as before this you were making fun of Roscommon please and now you are suddenly doing a full 180 degree turn so I think you have made a little boo boo there thank you.

By the way mentioning the under twenty championship I must say congrats to Roscommon on winning it thank you. I did not get to the game last night as I was cleaning the septic tank (long story thank you) but I believe it wa a super game of football and the best team won. I would never have predicted that after watching us in The Hyde Pitch where I really thought we were two poor teams thank you for agreeing.

Well said Blathers. I think that game v Leitrim made us. Great to win but as I keep telling you and I think your getting it "it's all about development!. Don't spread that slurry or the contents too close to the ditch. Love to all!

After Roscommons under 20 win last night can we safely say we are also in the top 2 in the province at under 20 now?

It just shows the farce of this teacup system that we could be playing Down even though they have beaten last years AI finalists. Time to scrap it and have the old qualifier system with a second chance in place.

You should be pleased that your U20s was competitive against the eventual Connacht champions.

True worth of any underage team is seen n knock out football and Roscommon beat Galway and Mayo In consecutive weeks. The final group game in Hyde Park was knock out for Leitrim and you had to win by 7 points or more. With all Leitrims best players featuring you never looked close to achieving that and the margin was 5 points until the last action of the match a Leitrim goal. Roscommon had no Kilcline in that game, the big 6ft 6 fella that made a major impact against Galway last week and again last night against Mayo.

I'd be hopeful we can still get a big team in the qualifiers, Donegal are very beatable as are Mayo, Tyrone and Meath. We just have to believe we can rub shoulders with the best teams out there as we did against Galway. No team will want to draw us.
