The Future for Laois Football

Great appointment, Great to see a new man get his foot under the table, Wonder who his backroom team is? hoping this can be the start of something good, He has the intercounty experience won an All Ireland in the minor so ticks all the boxes.

A very promising group of players. Have done well under Gordon Lalor from under 14 to under 16. It's a pity Gordon couldn't stay with them next year but hopefully Conor will bring a freshness to the group.

[Tintin84]

How have this group been coming up,? Probably haven't done much in the last year and a half, Any word on minor backroom team heard donie brennan isn't involved.

Good to see a Clonaslee man ticking boxes rather than throwing them.

No need to be smart there was box's thrown in this year's championship and a deafening silence is all I can say

Heard on the laois today podcast, That Paddy Dunne from Rosenallis is gone in as coach for the laois minors with Conor Gorman, the man is after havinga great few years with Rosenallis good to see him taking the next step up into Intercounty coaching. So that's Donie Brennan and Paddy Dunne that's a strong Minor management in my eyes and all in there mid/late 30s. Looking forward to see what they can do now.

If true great to see young coaches who have shown ability at club level like Paddy and Conor involved with our county teams.

Donie has also shown promise as a coach, it might be tough juggle this job with his Laois Ladies role though

We should be taking a leaf out of Clare GAA's book and adopting their root and branch overhaul of their structues..........

I've heard Donie is not involved.

Seems Sheehan has been working hard putting a panel together. Met a lot of the established players 1 on 1 to discuss plans for the year. Wide net case with a lot of young players been asked to come in.

Have heard that too. Have heard that quite a few players have turned down the chance to join.

This is continually our biggest problem in both codes. The manager will always get the blame for performances and results but most of the time he is not dealing from a full deck.

I couldn't agree more. Every year, in both codes, lads opt out. Fair enough, I get that it's an amateur sport and a lads choice, but I honestly can't remember the last time we had all players committed to the county senior team.
