Someone mentioned Davy Fitz, but.... I don't think so!

Wouldn't surprise me if he got the Dublin job.

Wonder who was approached about the job?

Official now that Cheddar stepping down. Didn't work out his second term. Took it when not too many wanted it after Eddie Brennan fiasco. Heart in the right place but need a change. Who that is remains to be seen.

Need to come straight back up from Joe McDonagh next year.

Surely the end of Ross after today. A mighty servant to Laois football.

And again another president comes out and condones the killing, blah, blah, blah. More Senators up asking what is happening blah blah blah. The great Kamala talking about having the courage to make change. Well f**king make change then!

You can blame Trump, Obama, Bush etc etc but today Biden has an opportunity to make change, democratic's have the majority in both house and Senate but nothing will happen because they are concerned about the next election and lining their pockets. I said it at the time that if Nothing happened after Sandy Hook nothing will happen with a corrupt government and a bunch of politicians that continue to line their pockets at the cost of millions of Americans.

There is a mental health issue in this country that also needs to be tackled. No mentally stable 18 year old could do this. There is a lack of respect for authority and a lack of respect for other people. The culture here in the US is going down the shitter.

Kerr the leader

Always harrowing when this thread gets bumped up with recent shootings.

Kerr's dad assassinated in the 80s close to the heart if not mistaken.

Unfortunately, the tactics that were employed could only logically produce one outcome. Cheddar had an inherent belief that there was a "gap" and set the team up accordingly. It's very hard to win if you're trying not to lose.

We have good players but we need high intensity and a positive attitude.

Should never been let back in Laois hurling as much as passion as Cheddar has towards Laois hurling. We have regressed and even with injuries players still have a lot to answer for nonetheless. Next appointment will be critical. A straight promotion from Joe McDonagh and nothing less. Thankfully we still have division 1 hurling next year.
Niall Corcoran for the manager gig if we've any chance. Was the cog in the wheel in Eddie Brennan set up and would be a progressive addition.
Regardless of result today Antrim should beat Kerry next day out. Shouldn't be reliant on Kerry to do us favours. Come back up as champions.

P45 for Cheddar.

A disappointing result last night on reflection. Offaly far superior all over the field. Won most of the 1:1 battles and we were heavily reliant on frees to stay in the game. Offaly had some excellent athleticism particularly 2 half backs got on a mountain of ball. Ball never seemed to stick any time got into forwards and seemed to try run through tackles and get turned over. Don't know if that's a Laois things as seen the seniors do similar this year. Some positive shoots for the future and hopefully over coming years some of last night's players will see senior action.
Clare and Galway will be good battles and will only bring the minors on.

Super crowd the guts of 12'500. Probably one of biggest attendances for a Leinster match outside of Croker this year. Bloody madness 1 turnstile open for terrace when I went in. If not mistaken Laois offaly football qualifier match few years back delayed for something similar not opening enough turnstiles.You'd think the county board would have learned.

You'd hope in this decade to get to a few more minor finals and eventually breaking a hoodoo and winning one. How the Setanta programme will be some indicator how we go along with clubs getting up to standard (including my own club).

Any word on how the practice match against Clare went ?

Won I heard. Didn't hear by how much

Being underdogs has suited them so far vs Wexford and Kilkenny. A home support and play to their potential and have a great chance. Positive signs and hopefully becomes more of a regular occurrence going forward getting to finals. A nice few from previous Laois minor finalists went on to reach senior level. Hopefully more of the same with this lot. 

Watched back highlights of both semi finals on TG4 Adam Screeney from Offaly corner forward very talented hurler 2-3 from play.

Absolutely superb win for the u17s against Kilkenny. Fully deserved.
Offaly next Saturday.
Some sprouts of hope for the future fingers crossed 

Breandan Long of Bon Secours in Limerick had good experience with. Works in Aut Evan Kilkenny also. Like above have the MRIs done in advance.

Fermanagh GAA have a radio stream on YouTube of the match for anyone trying to access. 1:2 to 4 up. Gary Walsh with the goal.

*As I edit post Fermanagh in for 2 goals. 2:5 to 1:2

Eric Donovan losing in 3rd rd wondering is that the end of him at 36?

Made hard work of that win today but deserved it nonetheless. Finally getting a goal from a corner. Feared another capitulation once Leeds equalised. Great to see Elanga with the finish after having a coin f**ked at him from the stand for Fred's goal.

Hopefully they turn up against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night.

Laois 2:10 Kildare 0:16 in u20 according to Kildare GAA twitter today.
