8 penos, 1 goal

Cracking penalty to win it

If they beat Sligo:

Provision of New York reaches the Connacht final • New York proceed to the group stages of Sam Maguire • Tailteann Cup would become 17 teams, with three groups of four teams and one group of five teams. CCCC to confirm the ordering and scheduling of games in the group of five teams, with each team having two home & two away games. • The 3rd place team in each of the four groups would go to the Preliminary Quarter Finals, and play the four 2nd placed teams. • The dates of the Preliminary Quarter Finals, Quarter Finals and Semi-Finals would all be put back one week with no change to the final date.

They’ll have to split New York in two after this.

NY one game away from the group stages of Sam Maguire

I know nothing about the New York players. Not much between Sligo and Leitrim in the League. New York might give Sligo a good game.

Which is a clear indication that our provincial championships are dead. They are just broken beyond redemption at this stage.

The best teams in the country should be playing the the All ireland.

Yet we could have meath kildare laois cavan cork and a few more playing tailteann simply because they are in a much tougher provincial. They are all far better than NY.

End this farce after this year.

Other than Cavan, none of those are playing in a tougher province. NY do however happen to have a particularly favourable draw

Has anyone come in with the split New York in two joke yet?

I know leitrim were having a decent season but when I saw the team sheets I knew they had a right chance.

It's a day old, and we've already got more shocks in the football than we'll get across the entire hurling championship

Carlow hammering Kildare was surprising.

Some scenes... New York showed there is still life in the provincial championships.

Hopefully the live Mayo v Roscommon game is a good contest this afternoon but i fear the awful weather forecast will ruin it.

None of these counties, with the possible exception of Cavan in the Covid Championship, have done ANYTHING to deserve being out of the bottom tier. Population alone doesn't place you in the top Division, if it did sure why not place London and NY in it.

These counties are a mess.

I'd say a couple of awkward conversations were had in and around McLean Avenue last night, between a few of the LM officials and their big NY backers as to where they are going, and where the improvement is for their 'support' of the board and Andy's backroom team. For my sins, I've seen them a few times in recent weeks, and they are certainty no better than they were few years ago. I know numbers are tight, but the lack of preperation, S&C, and even knowledge in tactics and team selection are very evident to me anyway. NY are a wholehearted but a poor side, and given the prep work they had available to them should be beaten by any group that has any decent work done.

Andy will have all the excuses in the world available to him, and his Media friends will give him a pass, but it's fvckin embarrassing to be out of your depth in the lower reaches of Division 4 and out thought by the exiles.

Huge kick in the balls to the well intentioned and hardworking Geals involved in the games in Leitrim.
