I expect a DRA decision soon.

If sense prevails they will rule in favour of Killoe.

But Laurel is right. There are 3-4 individuals in the County setup that need their cough softened.

GAA is NOT a minority sport in DLR.

All you have to do is look at the state of Blackrock Rugby Club. FFS they were on the verge of being Cuala's bitch.

Watched Mostrim v Clonguish on the telly. It was a pretty good game and could have gone either way.

I do think Killoe (hopefully the issues will be resolved) will go out to hammer Mostrim so that Clonguish and all who sail in her will qualify.

I really do think this.

Honestly.

Larry Dunne - aged 72.

Dunne was the kingpin of the drugs trade in Dublin in the early 80s.

Tiede Herrama

For those of us over 50 his name is very familiar.

The siege of Monasterevin was gripping stuff.
Reconciled with Eddie Gallager as far as I recall.
Marion Coyle, I think, wasn't interested.

RIP

Lively match between Longford and Tipp.

But all money must be on Down now to go on. I was hoping Offaly would do us a favour but no.....but, c'est la vie.

I'll be in Derry in two weeks time as Horslips are playing the night before. I may be the only Longford supporter there!

Getting very interesting.

Offaly v Down on sunday will be the standout fixture. Winner will fancy their promotion chances.

We have Tipp at home so we hope to be there and there abouts come the last day.

Looks like Leitrim and Louth for the soup.

Longford 2-14
Leitrim 1-09

Not a great game in a swirly gale so we'll simply move on.

Longford's goal in injury time at the end sealed victory. Leitrim had good patches but they just couldn't handle the wind.

2 weeks now to the promotion challenge with Down in Newry. Winners here will fancy their changes of being promoted with the langers.

Vote cast. Only went to 5 on the ballot paper.

Exit polls at 10. Didn't see anyone outside my polling station.

Blueshirts are in for a bad day.

To hear the hysterics of Regina Doherty, on the radio this morning castigating Jim O'Callaghan (FF TD in Dublin) for defending the aul divil himself, Gerry Adams, in some case, just showed how desperate they now are.

They won't come third.......but they will lose between 10-15 seats. Hopefully that dreadful woman mentioned above is one of them

Longford are at home to Leitrim next week and I would have to say that we are more than capable of getting the points on offer here, and possibly Div 3 security.

A welcome break (Longford have been on the go since early Jan) and then it's a Sat night game in Newry which will be a decent test.

A draw just about a fair result.

Game wasn’t for the purists. At the end they were like two aul heavyweight boxers slogging it out….not able for the knock out punch.

Offaly maybe shuda won. They had some awful wides and hit the post with 5 mins to go.

Stay in Div 3 is best either of us can aspire to.

Ref had some unique decisions. Prob more against Offaly but he’s from Mayo…..so he would know feck all about football.
