Men against boys could been a lot more than 14 only for Rowland


The ref however made our job even harder

I dread to think what will happen if we draw Tipp

We lack so much in the physical side of things its not funny

How come we have no quigley o loughlin booth meaney or begley type players in the hurling its frustrating to look at the ball in the air and know well when it comes down a laois man wont be taking it clean or 9/10 times wont be strong enough to win the breaks either

theses are the same players who have laois in division 4 next year

lads Eamon Kelly is  poor , offaly had him last year and westmeath hurl them off the field. this year was different it was alot better with kevin Ryan at least he had them fit and up for it, unlike last year. look theres nothing between laois,offaly,westmeath but i think Kelly doesn't have a clue.
offaly also were well beaten last year by wexford in wexford park, he put Niall Wynne the smallest player on the offaly team fullback again Connor MCDonald iust clueless.

2 point win does the job of 20.

Lusmagh in offaly, the home of Jim and John Troy, Joachim Kelly Brendan Birmingham, Brendan Kelly, all ireland winners to boot.

wasn't mickey marking Brogan and Rock before over the years . don't think the dubs will lose any sleep knowing Mickey is on the spinach, 

shows you what a county offaly are won  7 all irelands between hurling and football in the last 45 years, only Cork and Galway have won them in both codes since then. and look at the size of cork and Galway to offaly. also laois who had great football and hurling teams in the early 80's and were unlucky not to make a breakthrough them times.

I know the O'Byrne cup is first and the first game is DIT at home on the 8th of Jan followed by Wicklow away on the 11th(wednesday) and then Meath at home the following Sunday the 25th and it will surely be a case of looking at players in these games...The League starts just three weeks later with a Saturday night home fixture against Louth (4th Feb)

Looking at our fixtures in the League they could have been easier ...Antrim and Sligo away are ones you'd like to have at home and would guarantee nearly four points whereas away they will be tricky games away with such travelling.

Armagh away is also a tough game especially after what happened last year although we have a great record against the Orchard county in recent meetings.

Louth Tipperary and Longford are all winnable games at home but still not easy.Then the last Sunday is the Biffo's in Tullamore.

I'd be hoping for something like this

Laois v Louth win 2 points(should beat Louth at home)
Armagh v Laois loss 0 points(I fear we could be up against it early in Creedon's reign here)
Laois v tipperary win 2 points(difficult but winnable Creedon should know them well)
Sligo v Laois draw 1 point(Will be a crucial game 4 games in must not loose)
Antrim v Laois win 2 points will again be hard but fancy two points here)
Laois v Longford win 2 points(we should beat them at home)
Offaly v Laois Win 2 points (I like Laois playing in tullamore and we will have no fear of Offaly)

11 points from 14 might seem optimistic but thats what i'd be aiming for.

The vital games will be game week 3 and 4 with Tipp at home and Sligo away if we can get 3/4 points here I think we will be right in the shake up for promotion.


Armagh and  Tipperary will be probably in the shake up but Longford have got nice home fixtures and could feature as well .


All to play for I for one can't wait!!!

Have to get off to a fast start here first 3 games very tough, I think I'd take survival at this point.

Surely we are better than that I know results haven't proved it over the last few years but we still are better than the Antrims,Louth's Offaly's and Sligo's of this world in my opinion!

after losing to Clare in 2016 and Antrim in 2015, and drop down to division 3 this year don't see where the form is that laois are any better than louth, sligo, and offaly i'd say they are all at the same level.

The very same fat arses. Loughnane knew. Kelly knew.

what does that make the laois players so think about it.

Not the worst appointment . Kelly will take no sh*t  whatsoever and lads will be either on board his train or not . Best of luck to him .
Selector appointments will be interesting .

You'd feel for him, because its most likely he'll find the situation to be similar to that in Offaly last year, the full deck won't be available to him. However unlike Offay, where they and their fat arses were lazy, Laois' players will be burnt out and either taking a year out, or retired.

Are Tipp our new overlords?

the same fat arses that hurl laois out the gate in tullamore , and what the fcuk would have a laois hurler burn out it must be from smoking fags

Won kerry a christy ring and brought offaly on big time dont know how people could complain really, has a solid track record at this level

are you drunk brought offaly on big time,   lost to kerry first time in 40 odd years, lost to westmeath by 14 points in championship,

Fair play to Stradbally but a game Portlaoise would not have lost.

they only won 1 leinster out of 9 championship runs. in fairness Stradbally big day was the county final win.

don't write off longford, laois have been knock out of the championship by Clare and Antrim the past two years,

The man assulted someone repeatedly with a hurl it wasnt too just a malee he attacked someone with intent to seriously hurt them, not for the first time.
The reason i bring up the county board is that he shouldnt be allowed to be there saturday, its like putting a red rag to a bull, although in fairness i do agree with you that people are responsible for their own actions,in this case though the punishment was far too lenient

its funny with all his years hurling senior with laois i dont think he had a record of been a dirty player or a hard man , i suppose hurling the likes of the wexford and offaly plus kilkenny teams of the 90s if he pulled a dirty stroke he would be picking his teeth out of his s.it monday morning.

Laois didn't win an u21 AI in that time frame....we have never won at u21 bar a few leinster. ..we did win 3 minor AI during the good years

Really we all know that...

if you did know, why did you write that they won u21 

Once again james young and clonaslee have disgraced themselves tonight, regardless of his stature the man deserves a lifetime ban and the club should be suspended for a year

what stature, never seen him do much in his inter county days apart from taking frees. as for disgraced himself he didn't lick it off the ground
