More girth that girlish I would say 

I thought everyone in Ireland was aware of The Laurels and its resident midges! In time they will!

Don't forget the trip to Aughrim 

I'm glad that point wasn't the telling factor in the end....if you know what I mean.

Interesting to see now Paidi v Micko in a Cooper Cup showdown. Perhaps this could be the making of the competition.

But I doubt it.

Offaly gone!

Results

Longford 2-10 Clare 0-10
Roscommon 4-11 Offaly 1-16
Leitrim 2-10 Monaghan 1-14

Result means:

Div 2 Monaghan and Roscommon
Div 3 Leitrim and Longford
Div 4 (and Cooper Cup ignomy) Offaly

Hopefully a win today and let the real clusterfuck unfold.

Lose/draw and a clusterfuck of a different kind unfolds ala Tommy Cooper Cup.

Hurling: Waterford
Fubbal:  Cavan

And may I welcome Stephen Hawking to the Board.

Top Class Sir

Awsome stuff from Utd.

All four goals were top drawer but No 2 and 3 were a joy to watch.

And I'm not a fan!

I hear the waterboys were tough opposition as well

Aye - true. Carla waterboy was a wee bit too liberal in his language towards so of the Longford minors so the Eldest Shore on the line took matter into his own hands, so to speak, which ended up in handbags.

Same Shore was seen, after our mighty win over Derry last year (or was it a million years ago), to try and discard his "Bib Offigiul" before the end so that if someone had gone in to clock the ref, The Clownish Michael Collins, he wouldn't have had to step in and save him.

Lemme guess......Micko "not interested in money"....."never would poach players".......etc

Sometimes the 'aw shucks' cute Kerry hoorism wears very thin

You'll have plenty of time so to get to a television to see Westmeath take on Laois

then

It's that time LaoisLad cos that's Holy Communion Day in Longford 

Laurel

You cannot ignore class 

Rovers, when in Milltown, had a daycent Dub supporter element to them. I moved to Milltown in 1990 or so just after Glenmalure Park closed and used to look in wistfully at the long grass and the stand (where some auld codger lived - you could see his tv aeriel on top of the stand). Rovers were the ManU of Irish soccer when I was a nipper. Gilesy, Ray Tracey et al. Now well in the past

They are now pretty much Ireland's Millwall. Only worse.

We can thank the ones west of Meath for this appeal paranoia that has taken hold in the GAA

I FECKIN knew Westmeath HAD to be implicated here. Bastards 

Martin Skelly, for those of ye not in the know, is the Longford Co Board Chairman.

He's fond of the odd 'rant'. Generally makes things worse though
