Replying To Keephimthere:  "How did Manorhamilton get on in the LGFA semi?"

Replying To sillyjambon12:  "Certainly. J Barnes for Marys and J McGloin of Melvin Gaels were used as subs for the majority of the season with their respective clubs. While McGloin had good contributions off the bench I don't know is it really a county level standard. Granted he is good enough for u20 I'll say that.
But can you really tell me that bringing in 2/3 players from clubs in junior or competing in junior will bring a competitiveness to the county set up. Not discriminating on the little clubs but I just dont think some of those players are at that level. I understand inclusion of every club is important but we have to be realists here and ask how many of those players would contribute greatly to the county?"

Replying To Backheel:  "Not good. But we are not allowed talk about it on this forum. It seems. Discussions have been blocked and removed by admin for some reason."

Replying To Tacaí Liatroma:  "What? No they aren't. Or at least I don't believe you. I for one would normally pop in fairly quick with a result, but look, it was just a bad day at the office for the girls, they were understrength with some of the Leitrim contingent off on a well-deserved holiday after doing the county proud over the summer, and they were facing the might of the reigning All-Ireland champions. I'm sure the last thing they or anyone else wants is to have their noses rubbed on it here on the Leitrim forum, and I certainly wasn't going to be crowing about the result when it's freely available wherever you want it online and the when the question was only asked to stir, and by an outsider too."

Replying To JimmyNail:  "Who's dipper? And Conor and Jordan Reynolds not brothers not even same club. If true about Rooney huge loss though"

Replying To coldfeet:  "Rooney is also transferring back to Melvin Gaels , additionally Paul Brennan & Emyln Mulligan rejoining Melvin Gaels also, Former Donegal U20 Manager Franice Martin & Frank Mc Glynn taking over Melvin Gaels."

Replying To boxtyburgerbuns:  "Does this mean Mulligan won't be in charge of Fenagh next year or will he not be playing senior football?"

Replying To Dodgy_Pass:  "Given the new management, here are some players across the U20/Senior grade I think they should bring in, have a few in house games like the recent interpros similar to what Andy did at the beginning of his term. Some are current co players, some are not. Definitely one or two in every club to look at. Some should be co players but haven't shown the interest and likely won't. Some would be co players and younger players would have to out perform decent club players in the trial games to be considered. Would be a worthwhile exercise to identify late developing talent outside the traditional County Squad Structure. Bearing in mind collective training doesn't start til December, of course.

Replying To DontMindMe:  "Fair play for taking the time to compile the list but you could've spent it much better by doing some proper research. Genuinely awful ball knowledge.

Named two lads from my own club that aren't guaranteed starters amongst several others that shouldn't be near a county set up as would rarely (if at all) be stand out for their clubs. In an ideal world, the county manager would go and watch the junior final, intermediate quarter/semi onwards and senior quarter/semi onwards and make their decision on players based off that. I also think selectors/representatives should attend early league games to spot talent throughout the year particularly in division 1 and division 2 and the panel should not be closed.

I am from a mid sized club and therefore do not have a "big-club" bias but feel If a team doesn't make it to the knockout stages, it is extremely unlikely they have a county grade player in their ranks particularly in intermediate or junior - never mind teams being relegated from their respective grades. It is also irrelevant if they were good underage players - it often doesn't translate up to senior as different distractions come into play and therefore players shouldn't be "invited" into county panels unless its on merit based off their performances for their senior club teams - I could think of a few named above for example.

A county team should be backboned by the senior championship finalists of which Mohill/Ballinamore easily harbour 15 county standard players between them as do Fenagh and St Mary's. Thereafter, you go through the most competitive teams and/or standout players in the different grades and fill in the panel accordingly or even have open trials that players can elect to attend opposed to being invited - you wouldn't be long halving the the above list and finding a few more worthy players too."
