Losing an 8 point lead in the 2nd half when both teams are at a similar level in modern day Gaelic football is absolutely criminal. End of.

Maybe you should 'support' someone else.

And noticaby absent was a positive comment after we polished off Tipp last week. Saving your comments for defeats RealisticSaffs?

Funny Westmeath did the same last night, squandered an 8 pt lead and never scored last 20 mins. It happens!

Reading the division three thread the reckoning was tipp were better than Longford and Longford were lucky (from a Longford person) and that is our must win game. I don't think we could get anything against Cavan but think we may have a chance against Westmeath.

While the outcome was massively disappointing yesterday we have definitely improved massively. The defensive structure is so much better and we appear to have found a few players. Rory McCann at ff is a fantastic outlet but we have to remember he needs support and not isolate him so much too.

Key thing now is to stay in the division. You look at the results in division four and that is a minefield. If we stay in it then next year I think the teams coming up will be much stronger than the teams going down but the same could be said for three to two so it'll maybe even itself out. If we got a good run in the tailteann cup then that would be a good platform for next year.

Plus one. All talk previously was players not available, lets get behind those who are....no matter what club or part of county they come from.

Was at the game. Very positive from what I could see. New players doing well and progressing.
Whilst throwing away an 8 point lead is a bit of a disaster at this level, the style of play is unrecognisable from what we saw last year. It'll come down to the Longford game to stay up and staying up will be an achievement.

It's a game of football lads, nobody has died.

We'll go again.

Moneyglass missing the 2 Duffins and 2 McCormicks this weekend I don't think the 'we didnt have" excuse is going to wash with anyone frankly as everyone is in the same boat

Ahoghill to take the points
Casements to win
LD to win
Cargin to win, I know Cargin have a lot missing but so do tir na Nog , think a handy enough away win
Creggan to win handy
