The second quarter against Carlow wasn't too hot, either.
Carlow could easily beat Offaly. Offaly're playing a dangerous game. Here's hoping... But, on the other hand, didn't we play a bloodless draw w/ Westmeath the time we were to play them in the final?
That was 2014 . We came even closer in 2012 . As mentioned that was a different Laois set up .
All the signs are there that Sunday won’t be pretty for Laois football . I genuinely hope I’m wrong .
Heard there are a few u20 been called into the panel . Might get a run in the TC which would make sense .
I'm not sure why but for some reason I think the Dubs might be in for a fright
The setanta programme and the development squads should become the most important teams in the county for the next 10 years. See what happens, its time to try something different. Laois people would be happy with a good minor or u20 team to follow rather than watch our seniors being hammered. How many thousands turned up to watch our minors last year compared to some senior games.
There needs to be a shift in focus asap
There’s no need for a shift in focus
What’s needed is to focus across all the grades and not downgrade or throw out one group of hurlers over another
The CB in the last 2 years ran a surplus of close to €900k,use some of it but also get organised and work smart
Some of the story’s coming out of the development squads are barely believable from an organisational viewpoint
If true
If we do as you say, nothing will change
Drastic overhaul is required
Tell us what you would do then?
I don’t have any insight into why this didn’t happen…. But I can’t imagine the GAA wouldn’t have been reasonable in this matter.
Nothing to be gained from being otherwise.
The LGFA nationally have a reputation for being difficult & unreasonable. I have no idea if that extends to this situation, but I wouldn’t be jumping to dump the blame at the feet of Laois GAA.
The combined schools team would be a good idea but its really only one cog in a wheel that has fallen off the wagon. Before we even talk about secondary schools we need to get the club structures in place with full time GPOs. We need to develop and grow the setanta programme into something special for kids. We need to get hurling going properly in every primary school in laois. The development squads need major focus and attention and then the secondary schools too.
We actually need to start with 5 and 6 year olds and put in the work for 15 years time.
I'm sick and tired of hearing laois senior managers over the past 20 years talking about taking 'the learnings' from heavy defeats and trying to work on them. The same shite for years we are hearing. Bringing Dan Shanahan and the likes of Shane O Sullivan (performance coach) from waterford and paying them. Performance coach...for that last night, give me a break.
Its time for leadership in this county. Wake up and smell the coffee and stop making the same mistakes over and over. We need to start from scratch and we need to do it now!!
