Okay okay I want someone to answer this ? Donie Kingston plays for Dublin , he is focused , committed,motivated and wants to win. He is conditioned to the highest level and so are his teammates .Is he the best full foward in the country now?? I know he is .

We will never know.

Starters
Brody
Dutchie nerney rory
Donoher collins Crowley
Danny and johno
Alan Farrell Kingston Benny
Dowling Walsh Whelan

Decent game good run out defense under pressure through centre until second
Half when Collins got support numbered wise
Danny under pressure physically and johno mobility wise

Walsh Kingston dutchie nerney improved significantly after sluggish start
Dowling putting hand up big time

Begley Ross Glynn Stephen came in also

Rest of guys got flaked on top pitch....heavy work being done

Who's Danny? O'Reilly or Luttrell?

Danny o Reilly

Luttrel was brought on later actually didn't get much of the ball

Ye saw DoR a few years ago thought he had potential, wingback maybe.

If he was "focused, committed, motivated, wants to win, highly conditioned and playing with highly conditioned team mates", I doubt Laois would be in Division 4 now. That's where we are and it was last year's team with Donie that got us there (admittedly with some indisciplined team mates). Donie was a leader in a losing team.

This is not to denigrate his efforts. Last season must surely be hurting. But if you're a leader, you come back and make sure that the mistakes of last year are not repeated. He shares some responsibility for last year's debacle (with all of the other players and management). I would like to see him take the opportunity of this year's campaign to show what he's really capable of (and to lead Laois football into some form of respectability).

Good answer to an unanswerable

Was at last nights game ...better showing than Westmeath games for sure we were much better in possession ...

Brody was excellent in the goals I thought Nearney Holland and O'Reilly were okay Dowling from the Rock played well...

Lowry was on fire for UCD

Think they are playing somewhere in Kildare on Friday.

Heard a rumour Donie might be coming back today not from my usual source but there is no smoke without fire(I live in hope anyway)

I have no doubt Donie read the comments here and felt inspired to return.
