Everton haven't beaten Liverpool at Anfield since 1999. Has to happen someday.

NOT TODAY

You just know Big Sam will come and win today. He's certainty given them a bit of a boost.

No, just no.

Lads resurrecting this great thread. I've a question for coaches out there. At what age do you it appropriate to begin...

1- Introducing underage players to strength and conditioning.
2- Introducing underage players to a gameplan/tactical approach. E.g. get men behind the ball, counter attack vrs high press up the field etc.

As early as possible with fitness. Build it up as you go along.
Bodyweight exercises from about 10 or 12. Not necessarily at training, but let them do it at home.
Obviously show them how to do it at training then let them at it. Planks, bodyweight squats, sit-ups initially. Build up their core. Then can move on to pushups.


Tactical approach: asap(without confusion) start slowly. It will definitely be of  benefit in the long run.
Progressively increase tactical input at trainings. But you'll have to drill it in to them(not in an autocratic tone or anything like it) Repeatedly input the same tactics. Use cones: 15 red 15 blue, etc.(may be 13, idk) line all cones out and explain how it'll be of benefit.

Predictions.
5-0 for me.
Salah x2
Mane
Wijnaldum
Milner (p)

You should be a comedian.

Sure in the early noughties, we (Offaly) had both a senior and junior team, and our junior team used to hammer the seniors. Only in Offaly.
The junior team hardly trained collectively, and if I recall correctly, won a Leinster in '01.
Oh well.

I think it was 98. They lost the All Ireland final to Tipp I think?

Yeah won one in '98 alright.
'01 was the most recent Leinster junior win.
Ollie Daly was over the team I think.

I have a team photo which I got from @gaanostalgia on twitter. I don't know how to upload an image on this, so here's the link: https://twitter.com/gaanostalgia/status/581457691941441537
Wasn't a bad team.

The toy show is as annoying as Children in Need night. Avoid at all costs watching all that crap.

Calm down. Breathe. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Count to ten.
And don't be such a pessimist.

2000-12 on now. Spoilt for choice tonight. Not.

Are they doing a 2013-2017

Laois beating Armagh,giving them a replay and then beating them again must surely be a contender...

Us relegating ye was surely better, not that either of us have much to shout about.

I come in peace, and yes I'm a BIFFO (Beautiful Intelligent Fellow From Offaly)
I just came across the discussion on numbers, particularly on Killeen-Kilcruise Kilcruise-Killeen (I don't want to be shot) Just wondering what playing numbers would all clubs in Laois have?
How many people living in each clubs' catchment area?

We did this on our own forum: uibhfhaili.com , and it gave all people on the board an insight into club playing numbers, as well as the total number of people living in each clubs catchment area.

Just a suggestion, and also my own curiosity, and no I'm not a cat!

Did HQ decide he wasn't getting the Nomination?

I presume you mean army council?

Relegating Leix.

McGeeney confirmed in Armagh I believe.

Guess who has joined McGeeney's management team?

Jim McCorry ? ? ?

No, it's Joe Brolly!!

I'm guessing she royally fcuked now?
