As minors they weren't great, a bit like ourselves that year. Kildare beat us well and the dubs hammered Offaly in the semi's. We're probably on a par with the Offaly team based om previous results. Very hard to see beyond the Dubs in the other semi despite Longfords good win over Kildare who won the last two minor titles.

Luttrell out of offaly game. He got is appendix out in hospital yesterday. Will be a big loss cos he has the senior experience behind him.

So that's our two midfielders gone for the Offaly game, that could shift the balance in favour of Offaly..

That's not true. He had a suspected appendicitis but is now home from hospital and didn't have surgery. I think he may be available for Wednesday night.

Very impressed by the work ethic by this team....left O'Moore park with a warm glow

Nerneys timing impressed me and strength on the ball
Kelly is growing at corner back
Thought the forwards pressure and work rate was outstanding

Moore is a gem

Luttrell big catches and angled runs(some of them weren't spotted)

Positive all round roll on tomorrow night

hope Luttrell is okay he is a big player in this team now especially with Connolly missing who was having a fine game up until his Red card.

Which I still think was very harsh!

It would be great to get the win this evening and progress to a Leinster Final. It would be a good boost for the county. Best of luck to all involved.

Balls to that. Threw it away. Wasteful 1st half cost us dearly
It's hardly possible to build anything if frustration, bitterness and a mood of helplessness prevail

Terrible, 1-2 up after 10 minutes and kicked 6 bad wides in that time too. We should have been out of sight after 15 mins. Once Offaly saw that we had let them off the hook their confidence grew and they were the better team after that. Fifteen minutes into the second half we had 1-3 on the board, that's 35 minutes without a score after dominating the first 10 minutes. When we finally started to play we brought it back to one point but it was way too late.

Absolutely sickened by that display and by some of the wides by our "star players"..   Great to see Tom Shiel get a run near the end but he should have been brought in a half time in my opinion. We needed someone then to give us a boost but it never happened and he might have been the man to do just that. Taking Eoin Buggie from centre back for the second half and putting him in at corner forward backfired badly. They came at us in waves and walked through the middle of the park when he was gone. When Byrne had to go off with an injury at half time surely the simple thing to do would be to send in Shiel then and leave Buggie where he was ???

Final score was 2-09 to 2-08..

Laois can hold their head high after that performance, after all they did come second on the night. Only fault was maybe the manager not bringing on maybe Jimmy Baldwin or Eanna Burke on the square. Also was Buggsy injured or why didnt he tog out?
