Is McNamee back with Offaly?

Hasn't played in this years league anyway.

Now:

Longford   6   2   0   4   -6   4
Antrim   6   2   0   4   -17   4
Laois   6   2   0   4   -20   4
Offaly*   6   1   0   5   -32   2

*presuming Offaly will lose....by, say 1 point.

The results were perfect today. Offaly losing tomorrow will tee up next week. If Laois win, they cannot be relegated, as Longford will be playing Antrim.

I wouldn't presume Sligo will beat Offaly. Sligo are pretty poor and wouldn't have beaten us only for the sending off.

Can we stop with the Darren Strong corner back experiment. To be honest I never saw him more as a half forward but successive managers have put him in the half back line but corner back. There has to be a better 'corner' back than Darren Strong in the county. Play Strong further up field.

He's no corner back but what's the alternative?

I agree. We had good managers in Micko and Kearney and we blackguarded both of them. Maybe if we blackguard a few more we'll stumble across a good one.

And Tom Cribben. Creedon should get the full year before any initial judgement is made.

Could name 3 more but I'm sure you did your homework

The key word is significant. I could name 10 lads they were missing but Stevie was the only decent one. Edit: Shane Nerney! Two then.

good to have the club games back up and running,,,,portlaoise were poor over in killenard but missing a hell of amount of fellas also,,,wins for heath,,and graigcullen,,,,strad v joes ill go for joes there

Was at it myself bad conditions think o dempseys were down a few as well. Lillis and brody were the 2 missing of note. 1 more loss and it's a streak 😉

O'Dempseys weren't missing anyone significant bar Stephen O'Leary.

Team picked for Antrim game.

1. Graham Brody (Portlaoise)

2. Darren Strong (Emo)

3. Denis Booth (The Heath)

4. Alan Farrell (Ballylinan)

5. Stephen Attride (Killeshin)

6. Kieran Lillis (Portlaoise)

7. Padraig McMahon (Ballyroan Abbey)

8. James Finn (Ballyfin)

9. John O'Loughlin (St Brigid's)

10. Niall Donoher (Courtwood)

11. David Conway (Arles-Kilcruise)

12. Eoin Lowry (Killeshin)

13. Ross Munnelly (Arles-Kilcruise)

14. Donal Kingston (Arles-Killeen)

15. Paul Kingston (Arles-Killeen)

Good to see Ross and Padraig ready to start. Hope their experience will pull us through.

I've no problem with Creedon. He deserves the full season before any judgement can be made. Doesn't change the fact that Kavanagh getting under 21 manager stinks.

Sean Moore is playing through injury, there's no way he's 100% fit. Same with Luttrell, wasn't at full tilt. That was two big minuses.
Some of the other chaps didn't step up to the mark. Happens with young lads.
Would have to agree that the manager never should have got the job. Not that I agree town1980 is right on everything but Kavanagh's appointment stinks.

Look what I started  In all seriousness, I hope that the transfer process is all above board. Ballinakill would hardly be that stupid to pull such an act if he's not a registered Ballinakill player.

Playing an illegal underage intercounty player in a county league game, with a reporter present? Yeah, I find it unlikely they're that stupid.

Isn't McDonald overage for this year's minor?

I presume he's still U21

Yes. I thought the suggestion was that as a county minor, he couldn't play club football. Don't know if he's a county under 21 panellist in either code?

I was referring to fact that you could f**k in an illegal lad if no one knew him from adam, but the likes of Lir would stand out.

Gotcha.

Best of luck to the guys tonight.

Would be great to get to the Leinster final.

Lads. Not guys.
Guys play rugby!

It didn't stop Emo playing Cian Langford, a county minor footballer, in the league against Arles.
Clearly against the rule book and I hear they're in trouble over it.

Timahoe beat the Rock by 4,  Mountmellick 1-11 Kilcavan 0-4 I think and Barrowhouse beat Ballyfin

Bad result for Ballyfin.
