Quick questionâŚhow close to full strength would the current Leitrim squad be? Iâm asking in terms of the best players in the county making themselves available.
Weâre missing at least 10 id say.But ye know what fuck them.

Begod youâre alive⌠Great performance to battle to the end all right. It appears the selection process worked out ie: omitting players from certain disruptive clubs from the starting 15. Proper order too.
In the maelstrom of porter, children and grandchildren, phone calls (abusive, malign and witty) dogs going mad, goats threatning to enter uncharted waters and fuckers hurling comments there was 1 blight on the night.
Might have taken a while to wrestle betwixt memory and tâinternet but Iâve found it.
I take no glory from our victory (I wasnât playing) but I believe in being a sporting winner. To that end Iâm not calling you any form of a cunt or anything like that, wishing ill on your off-spring, your wife or her sisters, your own sisters or anyone close to you. If your house burns down thatâll be an act of God.
No, NoâŚI bear you no ill-will at all.

I lived in New York for as long as some of the Leitrim folk here lived in Leitrim, why shouldnât i support them in the Connacht championship
See the post above. Your imaginary stats mightnât hold up however.
OK mate, youâre taking umbrage with somebody cheering against your county here?
Emlyn Mulligan says victory in The Bronx on Sunday was more important to Leitrim than it would have been to New York.
In a pulsating Connacht SFC quartr-final at Gaelic Park, the Exiles came agonisingly close to toppling Brendan Guckianâs youthful side, only for Leitrim to prevail by the narrowest of margins after extra time.
âItâs hard on them but itâs important for us and we needed that more than they did,â Mulligan, who contributed three points for the winners, told The Irish Sun. "People were saying all week, âItâll be great for New Yorkâ, but I donât see that to be honest.
"We have green and gold blood running through us, every one of us, and no disrespect to New York but some of those lads are over for the summer on holiday visas. They donât have the same passion.
âOur young lads, 19- and 20-year-olds, needed that and the whole county needed it because it would have been a big setback for us had we lost.â
If anyone should know the American set up, itâs Emlyn who took a year out from his beloved county in 2015 to go travelling and play football in Boston.
