Don't think that's true . Hamstring injury.

Very good two points tonight against a pretty disappointing Armagh team who briefly showed up at the start of the second half. Nevertheless it's clear to see there's plan and structure in place and Quirke has them motoring along nicely even if it's only February.
Byrne and Timmons were excellent and O'Carroll seems to be prospering as our marquee forward with Donie off the Scene.
People are going on about the pitch been bare etc . What do we expect ? O 'Moore Park has been blatantly overused the past 24 months with every possible club senior football and hurling championship match been played there . Throw in the numerous inter-county games . It clearly needs attention and some rest time.
Our support is embarrassing. As said before the Laois players deserve a lot better .

Wouldn't read too much into last Sunday . The first game of any National League can be erratic with results and performances .
Two home matches on the horizon against Armagh and Cavan . If we Manage two wins it would go long way in securing Division 2 status . Armagh are on a high after demoishing Cavan . Can see Saturday night being a high scoring affair .

Beat Tipp in a challenge last weekend quite well with Lillis doing quite well in the full forward line with the mark .
Brody , Benny Carroll , Healy and Dillon all on the panel for the league .
Tomorrow will be difficult particularly if Roscommon come out of the blocks flying .

Don't think we could have asked for a tougher start in two weeks . Roscommon have some serious forwards who tend to prosper in the league . It's going to be interesting to see the make up of our full back line .

Great to have Healy back, a huge boost if he gets back fully fit.
I'm not sure and I hope I'm wrong . Healy hasn't played much football at inter county level the last few years and nowadays you just don't jump straight back into gear after been Away that long regardless of how well you look after yourself. Especially at the age of 32.
Its going to be very tough for him . I really hope I'm wrong.

Where do these rumours get started ? By the time the league is up and running expect to see a more than decent portlaoise contingent involved. A few lads involved in the Obyrne cup won't be near the league panel when it's cut so I wouldn't be getting too bothered just yet over a few glorified trial games .
Hasn't Dillon been nominated as captain this year ?

« on: November 17, 2019, 10:39:03 AM »I see where Gary Brennan and Jamie Malone aren't playing with Clare next year. Should improve our chances of two points a bit in that game anyway. Brennan in particular is a brilliant footballer.
Also Kieran Martin will be not be part of the Westmeath set up this year .
Saying that it looks increasinnly likely Donie Kingston won't be part of the Laois set up in 2020.

It's going to be a very tight . St Pats have a couple of battle hardened lads in the central areas that got them over the line the last day against Ferbane . Portlaoise have had a nice rest but this will be challenge especially in Aughrim.

Disappointing to see the South failed to field a legitimate team and having to rely on selectors . Laois needs everyone that is capable and interested involved. It seldom happens.

Would be nice to see Offaly game played somewhere other than Portlaoise in December.

« on: October 26, 2019, 04:31:24 PM »The emergence of Murphy from Port last year on the inter county scene can lessen the damage of Donie s absence .There’s no one in Laois capable of filling the boots of an on form Donie. Was unplayable on his day .
Where did I say Murphy was going to replace Donie s boots ?
