exactly. unbelievable a player with his experience gets put off & they cruising to victory, hes 30 yrs of age not a chap a final on the horizon hard to fathom it.. portlaoise are some club nearly puling off a serious win yest evening hard not to admire them.

True. On the championship portlaoise are not going to be ran close this year after last years scare, interesting thing will they add the intermediate or junior to their inevitable senior title.. 

on laois gaa website, the fixture is up for relegation final of Graigue vs Emo is this just an error or have graigue done something wrong vs the heath?

CB stand tall there a joke, going around patting each other on the back. The sooner our cb is ran the better, i know this going off issue but i really think they dont work hard enough with our clubs. On 7 subs a fine and move on my best guess aswell.

I thought our full back line was solid, Timmons was superb. Our half back line was poor, with the constant fouling hard to watch at times as the wicklow attack were running out of options at times then our lads weighed in with a stupid foul. Midfield was good JOL put in a big shift especially. Our half forward line wasnt special now thought cahillane should of been on more ball, thought donoher tried hard but didnt really work out for him. Full forward line were do you start full of talent or donie was lethal the last 10 mins but up to that he looked off the pace. Gary walsh was good great finish i thought Ruari looked lively but we should have ended game with 5 goals on board. Overall i like everyone else appreciate each and every player on panel the time they give up to play football for laois, hopefully they can kick on and give account of themselves against the dubs i for one will be there with bells on.

When is draw for q.finals? or dates when they'll be played?

I felt for probably 4-5 players yesterday who gave there all particularly timmons & attride without would of been beaten a lot earlier.. But to say its all lillis fault is ridiculous. We have a core group of players whos performances yest were poor/sub standard. Our half back & forward lines & midfield were destroyed by a pretty ordinary meath. So to the poster who said our fellas lack character i agree on that performance yest.

we dont have a defender on our current panel that would get in a division one/top 4 team this is the way it is. Our defenders want to score first defend second this is how its being for the last number of years. I dont believe Lillis is prioritising league, In fairness the last few years staying in div 2 has done f**k all for us come the summer so dont see it as a big issue. I think our midfield does not give our back 6 enough cover  either.

I think lillis deserves credit for assembling this squad, He should be only judged after the season obviously would be great to stay in division 2, talks of mcnulty is pointless the football we played was depressing.

Just glad to see us back in business end of underage competitions. tried to attach full match report from the42.ie website unsuccessfully its decent.

the way i see it is two abysmal performances & two decent ones.. we need at least 5 points maybe 6 to stay up meaning next sunday is a must win, Looking at westmeath's demise hope we survive. This level of football really showed where your at it, Division 3 & 4 is hit & miss imo. Get it hard to see us picking up anything in Breffni park, So our two home games are vital.. Mick Lillis says he has no pitch to train football on this from intercounty setup sounds hard to believe. Know weather has been poor surely an astro surface would be available for ball work..

Laois played Westmeath Saturday in challenge match in the heath anyone hear any scores or anything..

we should be protecting our younger footballers never mind rushing them into a senior panel.. i think the u21 panel should be left alone until after they complete there championship, with the obvious exception of O'Carroll maybe one more. Give them a chance.

thanks shapes, really think this team has plenty of ability, Brian Daly has gone from strength to strength this last year & with O'Carroll & Lowry to name a couple looking forward to seeing these lads in championship.
