By all accounts our London captain will be back for the Dromard match .....

16's , I'll take that .....considering recent performances and the draw

most of North Longford happy enough with that side of the draw !

Fantastic win for longford.. Spent last 10 mins on the phone to auld longfordian,  god bless him, he's no commentator,  but added to the drama,  laurel what's the latest on john keegan,  how is he doing?  Hopefully he hasn't injured himsel
f seriously.

No Shamrock ...same coverage as you get at home on Newstalk ... its Shannonside and txt's from the auld fella.
Haven't seen Derry this year , but dont see too much being in it , in the end .
Time for our lads to take their chances when they get them , should have won the Wexford game comfortably , we cant afford a repeat performance !
Any word on starting line up , I think its time he gave Paul Kelly a start and see what he can do from the beginning , he was done well enough in both games coming on as a substitute.

Yes Rossfan ...in London .....
Will have to do with Shannonside and the signal cutting out every 5 mins !!

Likewise with Shamrock , I have been out of the loop a few years now with regard to Longford town .... Valentines is a good spot ....Keoghs might have a bit of trad .... Fox's will have a good football crowd after the game .

Is it televised ? ...or will I be stuck with my lug to the radio again !

Viewmount House have rooms to let .... out the old Dublin road about a mile , follow the signs ...
Great restaurant out the road ......
Other than that Uncle Longfordian has a B&B in Edgeworthstown ....and usually only one topic discussed in that house , and thats football !

Seamus Hannon is a clubmate of mine and is starting at wing half back , good footballer too, played corner back for Longford two years ago , when Longford beat Mayo in Pearse Pk

Not Shane Mulligan from Longford , who is starting v Wexford in Croke Pk Sunday ,

Agree with Shamrock ...a bit of momenteum with us at the moment , which makes a great change for us , our midfield will need to get going from the start on Sunday , wide open spaces of Croke Park may suit our forward line a little more than Wexford .
Wonder will he start Paul Kelly , or hold him back as an impact sub .. Croke Pk will suit him down to the ground !
Like Shamrock , I would read nothing into Div 3 final ...

Thankfully this game is televised , for us out foreign ,  as Im still not the better of the Newstalk lads taking an age to decide where Loais had scored a goal or was it a square ball

Lads ,
I believe the game isnt being shown on RTE , I cant imagine there being any other source to watch it from over here in London , so its Shannonside FM and txt's from auld Longfordian.
Shamrock you hardly want to setup a Skype call from your Smartphone for the duration of the game by any chance 

Signs are good going into this one ! ...probably would be one of the strongest Longford panels since the mid 80's , Liam Tierney / Mickey O Hara / Speedy McCormack / Dessie Barry / Philip Kiernan etc ....
Home advantage will be a considerable advantage , although Laois have been playing all season in Div 1 , while being relegated , this experience is bound to stand to them .
I expect a close one , our lads may shade it , with home advantage

I would like to extend my sympathies to the Smyth family from Cashel , on the awful news of the death of Alison aged only 29 years old. Alison excelled on both the Football field and Basketball court ,  remember her fondly from my time with Longford Falcons Basketball Club.
Very sad news .

Firstly ...correct me if Im wrong , am living out foreign now and am a bit removed from the football at the moment ...
Take for example Mostrim v Domard ...winners of this get two points , all teams go back into the hat and Mostrim could get anyone other than Dromard ..... this process continues until each team has played 5 games ...... Top 8 teams go into quarter finals  1 play 8 , 2 play 7 etc .... bottom 4 play off to see who goes down


Laurel .... tough draw for the 3rd year in a row ... although there wasnt much between each for the last two years .....
Not the easiest draw for us either !

As Laurel knows only too well from last couple of years , Clonguish can be beaten ... obviously they will go in favourites , but we are getting progressively better as each game goes on ! .... not too difficult given our performance v Killoe on our first outing this year !!

Hopefully ourselves and Donegal can do it agian in the same year !!!  .... signs are good so far !!!
