Longford Football (& Hurling) Thread

Anyone go to the Bihatimber fixture in Wexford?

[Shamrock Shore]

I doubt it. I tuned into Flake on Shiteside.

Wexford got the winner 6 mins into added time in 2nd half. Sounded a bit tooo added.

Not to worry tho. Concentrate on game agin the Fruit Pastilles in opening game of the League.

The record down in Dr Cullen Park has hardly been confidence-inspiring. Not sure I fancy another jaunt through the sideroads of Queen's County.

To be on the safe side you should wait until Slashers have a game in Farneyhoogan and then follow the crowd from.....

oh wait 

[Billys Boots]

Unnecessary and mean. 

[The Forfeit Point]

the man makes a valid point 

anyone know when the draws for the league and championship is being made?

I've still to see a match in Farneyhoogan where the Mullinalaghta support (pop. <500) didn't outnumber the Slashers one by about 2-1.

anyone know when the draws for the league and championship is being made?

My guess would be this month's CB meeting (though "Moydow" getting the County Convention reheld may complicate matters).

No doubt the double act of Cllr Flake and Pat Cahill will be on hand to give a running commentary on Roscommonside.

[Shamrock Shore]

Anyone heading to Carlow?

Auld Shore is in a car with the usual gangsters from Mostim, Cashel and Connollys (Laureleye will know them) so, win, lose or draw the craic should be good.

I'll tune in on Shiteside but I'm in Cavan this weekend in an area with no O2 access and Shiteside fades in and out. But, as Roscommon are playing, I expect fading in and out will probably be a good thing!

[Billys Boots]

Won't decide until Sunday morning, though will probably stay in bed.  Which is probably apt.

[Shamrock Shore]

FFS - where is the spirit? Cmon........at the grimmest of grim times we need heros....soldiers.....to carry the battle...

Ah, fcuk it, I'll stay in bed as well....

Good god, Scallionated.
