Good win on Saturday night.  Pete seems to have found a couple of real gems after our retirement epidemic.
Would have been very fearful at the start of the year but would have alot of cause for optimism.
Sean Quigley had a stormer despite the sideshow that Seamie and Niall Cassidy provided.
We ran the ball when we had to but also made good use of the long ball.
Much more enjoyable to watch this year as well.

The 2nd sending off for Sligo was not even a foul. 
The first one was silly by the Sligo player so soon after getting a yellow card.
He left the referee with no option.
Good to get the win and Longford away next.

Great win for us yesterday and a decent performance with fast attacking football for 50 minutes. We had a 15 minute lull in the first half and a 5 minute  one in the second.
Senan stayed awake for most of the game while Cregg was excellent throughout. Of course it helped that the ball was going in fairly fast and fairly regularly for a pleasant change. Some great catching by Donie in midfield - pity about the freetaking though. Enda Smith had a great game for a gasúnín while we seem to have eliminated all the slow paced lads. Ciarán Murtagh again staked a claim to a permanent starting place and certainly makes it easier for Cregg and Senan to shine when he's dashing about the place.
Defence was excellent - except for a few occasions during the lull periods - but then again there were Wexford lads getting it too easy to start things from further out.
Top of the League, 4 points gathered in February. Job done so far but won't be getting carried away yet.

+1
Not getting carried away but at least there are signs of some consistency. Well done management!

Round 3 this Sunday. Already a venue change for our game.

Roscommon v Limerick - Kiltoom
Wexford v Cavan - New Ross
Longford v Fermanagh - Pearse park
Sligo v Offaly - Markievicz Park

All 2pm throw ins.

Seeing is believing is the new NFL tagline,  it certainly is in div 3

A must win for us.  Hopefully the break has given pat the time to get them in shape and address the obvious weaknesses

[AZOffaly]

Agent Flanagan, you need to do us a favour here.

[magpie seanie]

One of our top forwards has left the panel. He has a health issue but is still playing for the U-21's (played last Sunday I hear). Not a word about it anywhere. Would that happen in any other county in the country?

[AZOffaly]

Depends if he fell out with the manager. Is Pat training the U21s as well?

[magpie seanie]

Flanagan and co are in charge of the U-21's also.

How come Longford are so poor this season?

[Syferus]

How come Longford are so poor this season?

Lots of injuries.

[Blowitupref]

How come Longford are so poor this season?

Glen Ryan stepping down hasn't helped them.

Glen Ryan stepping down hasn't helped them.

Big changes in their other backroom positions too.

[rodney trotter]

They have been without Kavanagh, Paul Barden, Shane Mulligan, Michael Quinn missed the first game, plus u21 championship started last week so those players wouldn't have been involved,
