Well look on the brightside. Its rare Laois football fans have to worry about making any travel arrangements in July to attend inter county championship football games. Think of all the money being saved.

Tommorow afternoon I would imagine

Odd post... On the coke again

I would rather a packed Parnell Park than the miserable atmosphere in Croke Park the other day.

Sure it'd be grand if they had a double header with the Louth Meath replay! 

That would draw a fine crowd to Croke Park.

Surely you can support our lads now that they won't be scourging laois?

Think that it's a great draw, hard to beat going down to Croker to play the Dubs, great to get away from the Ulster teams. I'd disagree with Indiana, if we can keep the Brogans quiet, which I believe we can, then we'll keep the Dubs fairly quiet up front. Bernard won't come up against a better FB this year and hopefully Andy Mallon can build on a good showing today............still worry about Vincie Martin though. Our HB line is solid.
It's further up the field I'd worry about with our MF and HF line looking very weak unless we can get Toner and Lavery fit.
McDonnell and Clarke will create havoc in the Dubs full back line if we can get possession into them.

A good draw for both teams who will fancy their chances, Dubs at home will probably be slight bookies favourites I'd imagine.  i wouldn't go in full of confidence but certainly there's nothing to fear.  MF would be our biggest fear, we really do need Toner and Lavery in there and I suspect they will be.  I was really shocked that the team that was named v Fermanagh actually started, if we start with that side again, we will get gubbed - a HF line that has zero to offer at this level.  Will be an excellent morale boost for the winner.

This year's championship really is shit btw, an awful lot of mediocre teams about.  Cannon fodder for the Munster boyos. Tyrone can delude themselves for another few weeks yet that they are still at these boys level.

Dispite Dublin not taking the conventional route, they would have to fancy themselves against a weak Armagh side too heavily dependent on their aging marque forward.

Whats your gripe with Armagh, apart from the pastings we have handed ye ?

Go fish somewhere else.

perhaps you meant marquee?

Fair enough !

On a serious note, if Mc Donnell is kept quiet by the Dubs is there enough of a scoring threat elsewhere ?

Have you missed J Clarke?
