Anyone else's stream froze?

Yes ffs. Gaago is shite

What a win though....2 of thee worst penalties given ever!

[Milltown Row2]

That was some score to win it

[bannside]

Two wins from two, both coming from behind in the last few minutes! The sign of real character, we have so often been on the wrong end of those dog fights.

Let's not get carried away, some hard work still needed to get turn this panel into a team that can go into Division three and be competitive. But the early signs are very progressive.

Paddy Cunningham the hero with a last minute point from a tight angle. Who else would you have wanted on it? Next up Leitrim, keep the focus right and let's build a winning run.

Real character. Something we missed previously but these lads have it in spades. Patience to work it to the oracle for that last score.

My GAAgo was fcuked but BBC Sport was a joy to listen to

Gives the whole county a lift and a spring in our steps. Keep the foot down lads

Good to get the win, had to go and win it a couple of times! A couple of the decisions were shocking. On the last penalty, does the covering defenders not mean it wasn't a goal scoring chance.

Do we just need to win the semi final for promotion?

[BrendanAntrim]

Yes - we are in the semi now, whatever happens next weekend. Not sure if 'North' teams play a 'South' team in semi, could be either Waterford or Carlow. Winning the semi = promotion.

[Belfast GAA man]

Real good will to win being Shown and long may it last . Oul hands and young lads winning combination

[BrendanAntrim]

Checked the regulations. We will play second place in 'South', either Carlow or Waterford

[Belfast GAA man]

ANy word of Casement?

More club and county football to look forward to this weekend. Club scene in Div 1 in particular more like a pre season tournament until clubs have access to the 30 or so county panellists. Good chance for fringe players to gain experience and managers to build squad numbers.

County in a unique position that we are through already to the play offs where we are one game away from the promotion that has alluded us. Players are stepping up to the challenge and the freshness of new regime is paying dividends to date.

Last minute winning points two games in succession is either the sign of a lucky manager (we will take that) or a hungry bunch of player, hopefully both!

Whilst impressed with most aspects in the course of first two games, the free count against us is a bit high and we've conceded 6 goals...but this can always be improved.

Was surprised to see Declan Lynch left one on one with Sligo's best player Niall Murphy for 30 minutes on Sunday. No one sweeping in front of a 50 years space, without any protection whatsoever. We were lucky enough very little ball came in. When you win the way we did we gloss over the finer details and get away with things like this.
Paddy's last minute wonder winner more than making up for his last minute narrow wide in the same fixture last year when we lost by one point! The irony of it all!

Good luck to all again tomorrow - you would hope for a solid victory against a team that beat us (by a point!) in Carrick on Shannon two years ago with the help of a neighbouring county referee the like I've never witnessed before. The type of bad luck that Lenny endured during his tenure!

Kick on Saffrons.

[BrendanAntrim]

If I am reading it right, of Carlow win today we will play Waterford for promotion, if Wexford win we will play them. Carlow started 1.3 to no score but Wexford back in it now

[bannside]

Just watched it. Carlow win - so it looks like we will be playing Waterford for a place in Division 3 next year.

[BrendanAntrim]

We would take that all day long. Important to keep the winning run going tomorrow too.

[bannside]

Exactly Brendan. A polished performance tomorrow will leave us going into the play off in good shape, confidence flowing. Louth beat them by 9 points last week so Leitrim have nothing to play for.....except pride which can be dangerous! Home venue also worth a few points. I like the look of the handicap betting, even money minus two points. I've had a decent cut at that!

[Jonkunlon]

Crazy stuff in the 2nd half to give up that 7 point lead, regardless of the permutations. A more professional mentality would have kicked on and blew Leitrim away.
