Laois outcomes at the weekend

[Mossy Bruce]

... all the contraversey this week could become a rallying cry and might be enough to get them over the line...

This is what I am hoping for.

Here's to stout hearts! GO LAOIS!

They did more than just get over the line, they sprinted past the post!

Personally, I find it hard to be optimistic about the hurlers. I've seen too many let-downs against Offaly, and they haven't beaten them in championship since 1972, or something, so many of us - myself included - haven't seen it.

Telling the future by looking at the past assumes that conditions remain constant. This is like driving a car by looking in the rear view mirror.

I hope so. One win over a top 10 team could change the mindset forever. Another defeat I don't even want to think about.

Ironically the past 3 years could ideally have been working up to this point. Dooley must be double teamed, and the sweeper is something we have been playing for some time. Many argued we had to move on from it to develop and while it's a valid point it seems now as if hurling has come around to our way of playing once more. The sweeper will be vital on Sunday and our players should be familiar with it. After that it's up to the forwards.

Nailed it, even if I was a little conservative with the 2 point margin.

Fair play!

A couple of the better posters on uibhfhaili.com nailed it even more saying that whoever won would do so by around 8 points!

Yes, but deep down, in places they dont like to talk about at parties, they didn't for a second truly believe it would be them.
