You need to get up to Division 2 to get out of the cup or do you have zero ambition?"
You don't need to get to Division 2 to get out of the Tailteann Cup.

Genuinely believe that Barry mcnukty and Donal Casey would start for any county team in the country . Thoughts?

You'll find Mayo have 47. In fairness Be your native county has a few more. Not many though

I think I'd need therapy if I supported Mayo.

What a superb performance by yeer lads on Saturday. I didn't get to watch it live but saw it later on Go and was mightily impressed by the organisation but mostly the tenacity and guts that was shown. For a team that is grossly depleted this performance was top drawer. Congrats to yeer young players, Poacher and his management team, yee have turned it around impressively. Barry McNulty did an interview after the game on Go that would make your hair stands on yir neck. Well done all concerned.

Would you go away and have a bit of manners and stop making a fool of yourself man. Mayo have all the resources, money and players you need to win All-Irelands but yee still can't, yet here you are with your pettiness. There's more class in a Leitrim mans wee toe than there is in you.

Leitrim need to start putting all their effort into the league....get out of division 4, try to stay in division 3 and ultimately within 2 or 3 years try to get into division 2. If that means training earlier than everyone else so be it. Leitrim need to be competing regularly with teams in division 3 to improve and ultimately improve standards within the county. Forget about the championship, although I do believe results I. Championship will improve if leitrim can arrest a yoyo culture between division 3 and 4.

You can't do that if half the panel decide to walk away on a yearly basis. Nor can you do it if the treadmill of talent is not being produced underneath the senior setup. Starting training earlier ain't going gonna fix that... Anyhow all this has been discussed here before over and over again. Standards will only improve if the example is first set at the top... top down and bottom up. A lot of clubs from what I can see are just threading water. Not entirely sure how you fix that.

This should be the goal of every lower division 3/upper division 4 team but ya have to be realistic, Leitrim do not have a yo-yo culture of going between 3 and 4 let alone going to 2. Ye have spent what 2 years in the last 15 years outside of Division 4 and all of that was in Division 3. it could well be longer I didn't bother checking further back, but it still proves a point, there's no such culture there of promotion-relegation.

In the 6 games ye did play in Division 3 this year ye were beaten by an average of 16.5points yet you're expecting all that to turn in 2/3 years? Training earlier is not what's wrong in Leitrim. Leitrim could have trained every week since last years campaign ended and would that have made ye field against Fermanagh or even pick up a point in the league?!

Saturday was a performance that restored a bit of pride in what is a bruising year for Leitrim (and still could be in TC) but remember it was played at home, in woeful conditions against a team that is week on week being proven to be woefully inept when the chips are down and not capable of putting anyone to the sword. Hopefully they'll have this highlighted by Galway in the Connacht final and the delusions of grandeur some of their supporters hold, not helped by McStays papering over the cracks will be dashed yet again. If mayo have real ambition they should have been beaten Sligo by 10 and Leitrim by 20. They didn't but does that mean Sligo and Leitrim are now suddenly able to mix it with D1 and D2 teams??? Time will tell in the TC how they get on with those relegated from D2 and it may paint a different picture on things and ya end up coming back to the same root problems that people ignore.

Not unless they moved the final to out the country somewhere. They'd never win it in Croke Park.

yes and I believe we drew one game in '20, against Derry which was a great result, and lost the rest. We have like 2 lads from that panel still involved so there is the main issue right there, player retention, it was only 5 years ago. We are under no illusion that we will go ahead and win the TC based on competing well with a division 1 team in one game at home. However a win in the group stages is a realistic goal especially if played at home against a 4th seed team

Yea Mayo would never be good enough to win the Tcup, very insightful.
Good luck in the Philly McGuinness cup tonight, similar to the Tcup
