the goal was on

Lot of the narrative is around county won't break the rules and things will be a lot tighter. Can't agree with that when Sligo manager Carew in paper today talks about having 60 players in on trial when gaa states it was strictly 32 players per panel. He also had over 45 players for a trial game against Wexford .

Unsubstantiated rumours of split between players and manager.
Chairman Stenson was earlier in the week  calling for the League games to not go ahead.
Davy's given us a dream to cling to
We're going to bring home the SAM

You could write off Leitrim's chances of Sam after that.  Player revolts against management don't end well until there's a manager change.

Leitrim unable to field against Down

Unable or simply chose not to field? Tipp at home was a relegation play off for them regardless of the result today and they clearly weren't keen on traveling to Down.

He's managing Carlow now.

That's a major issue. Sean Cavanagh thinks players will hide symptoms to play in games. Some managers will pressure players to delay tests to play in games as well.

This insistence that the championship has to be played regardless of everything is crazy. There's going to be games called of due to cases of Covid and with such a short window to play the games walkovers will have to be awarded. Leitrim have already pulled out of a game this weekend. Championship could become a bit of a farce.

I said in summer, when club championship was on, to finish that and forget about intercounty.

The likes of Leitrim would only have one championship game anyway.

Testing must be regularised, not at the discretion of the management or the player but someone outside the team who comes along and runs the testing. So testing at training and testing at games.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Wondering how the other elete teams who travelled north last weekend worked around this scenario :

QuoteThe Leitrim chairman also revealed that some members of the team were unable to travel as they were told by their employers that they would have to quarantine for 14 days if they crossed the border: "There were some others told by their work that if they had played in Newry, they would have to stay away from work for two weeks. That's awful to put young fellows under pressure to that extent but that happened and that was disappointing."

So Bernard Brogan reckons IC players should be in a hotel for a month in a NBA type bubble  :-\

Says a Hotel owner...

I actually heard the interview on today fm with matt Cooper. I switched over, I couldn't listen to anymore from Brogan.

Taylor

The man is completely out of touch with the real world.

While it is not their fault the way the Dubs have everything on tap would demonstrate why he thinks like this

I don't believe that at all. What line of work would do that?
