I noticed he had an ice pack on his ankle after the Galway game when my young lad got a photo with him.

Heās a bit of a sicknote it would appear.
But heās still great.
Iām not taking the bait there.
My sources indicate heāll be good to go the following week when weāre away (again) to Offaly. Coach Poacher is clearly targeting a run at this competition and managing his meagre squad as best he canā¦
That Taj Mahal in Mohill is like a monument to themselves - grandiose or whatā¦
There is of course the outside chance that Down beat us and then itās Carlow (H).
Coach Poach FFS sake

Great credit is due to the lads wearing the jersies, down a raft of starters but not lacking in heart or effort.

100%,giving it all.A few years ago weād have thrown in the towel by ht
When youāve given it your all and emptied the tank thereās no more you could have done. Let the chips fall where they will afterwards.
Theyāre as game a bunch of lads as weāve ever had and most of them 21-23.

Down pulling away now
Why are we still persisting with these long kickouts,weve won about 3 all day
Down picking us off from distance now
A home venue up next V the Scallionaters who pummelled us in the league. Weāre even more depleted than we normally are but theyāre somewhere closer to our level so weāre not without a punchers chance.
Youd hope Coach Poach was keeping Barry Tom and Cillian back for next week,thats definitely a game we can win.To be fair to the lads they kept playing till the end and scored the last 3 points.I asked earlier why Gaffey was going short and a minute later he shoed why although to be fair Down pressed us very high all day.We had no one to keep them honest and in the second half when thry were 10/22 pts up it was a bit easier for them to start shooting from distance
Iād be doubtful about the availability of the 3 lads mentioned particularly Barry whose injury is more serious than originally thought.
What can we do bar our best foot forward - the squad have bought into this spooferās line of patter and while we best Sligo and performed heroically against Galway weāre exactly where we were this time last year.
We won no match in the underage series so realistically weāre no better off.
The league table doesnāt lie was trotted out today on a soccer thread and sadly itās a fact. We have comfortably the smallest pick of any county yet our aspirations continue to outperform the realitiesā¦

All true unfortunately. Its our fate.A tough station,but weāll keep plugging along.Then again look at the sheepstealers,Div 4 10/12 years ago and look at them now.Louth too.
They have double our population and a thriving underage set-up along with a fine scatter of serious clubs (Boyle, Brigids, CnaG, Pearses among others) and an enormous self-belief in themselves whether merited or not.

Spot on. Maryās are the only shot at a super club and id hate to see itā¦ maybe thatās the problem with us?? They have the population no one else doesā¦
Look, we werenāt going to get a result without the main men available to us, move on but take the learnings
