"None of your fancy outside of the boot stuff this weekend, Mulligan."

One way to stop Leitrim: stop Emlyn Mulligan. The Leitrim sharpshooter has been kidnapped by Rossies and they say he won't be freed until Sunday evening. The deadly forward returned this season after a year away and he's been up to his usual old tricks, terrorising defenders and splitting posts for the craic. And, so, after a very nervy trip to New York, Roscommon are taking no chances this Sunday in Carrick-On-Shannon and have resorted to kidnapping Emlyn Mulligan ahead of the Connacht championship clash, just to make sure he doesn't cause them any trouble. In a brilliant skit by EJ Menswear, the Leitrim attacker is tied up in the back of a van and locked into a room by masked men donning the rival county jersey. https://twitter.com/emlynmulligan/status/733728386183528448 "You won't be getting out until Sunday evening," they vow. That's one way of stopping him anyway.
