Laois Senior Footballers 2024

[Chrimtain]

Great win Laois. Any time a Laois team lifts a cup in Croke Park is a great day. Should be a big boost to the confidence. This win is much more important than doing  well in the upcoming Leinster championship. Lets see now how we do in the Tailtean Cup.

[The PRO]

Good performance. Could easily have won by 20 points plus if we'd been more accurate with point chances and clinical with goal chances.

Offaly will be a huge step up from any of the Division 4 teams we've played.

Well done to all involved. We seem to have some decent strength in depth with the likes of O'Flynn, Daly, Corbet not even used today and Kirwan and Burke hopefully to return from injury.

Br great if the hurlers could make it a double tomorrow!

[les Antiques]

Good day for Laois football and well done to all involved. Nice bit of strength and depth on the panel.

Evan O'Carroll was excellent throughout, kept his composure and led the line like a true captain.
I thought Dempsey and Kelly were  tigerish throughout and gave little away in defence.

We were wasteful at times and some of the shooting was erratic but in fairness we kept at it. 

Offaly next which will be a much tougher test . Mcnulty alluded to it afterwards that championship will always be where the judgement lies.

Good to get a win in Croke Park after that very poor performance against Down last year,the things that impress me about the team is there pace and the way they used the width of croke Park and the work rate of all the players,so well done to all the management team and now looking forward to the big championship game against Offaly

[Joeythelips]

Great to look forward to the championship with some positivity. Offaly will rightly be slight favourites but we are well able for them if we are at 100%.

Get through that and it bonus territory

[redsetanta]

Dominant performance and blew Leitrim away in the second half. You'd have got good odds on Dempsey scoring the first goal. The change from last year is immeasurable. Totally different.
In saying that they won't get the same space against Offaly or other teams in the championship.
A great weekend for Laois gaa. Be great to do the double over Offaly.

[Joeythelips]

No point getting too excited, Laois won first few games last year also, but it does seem like there is a proper buy in from all to what new management team want from them and a plan in place.
Get promoted, beat Offaly, give the Dubs a reasonable rattle and get to Taitleann cup final seems like goals that are within reach this year. 

1st goal done with the bonus of a trophy. Based on what we have seen in the league Offaly will be a tough task but if we play to our best we can win. After that its a freehit against the Dubs, but no doubt McNulty will have a game plan if we get there and (bar a miracle) then give it all for the Tailteann Cup.

[Laois man]

25euro for one game sat night then they wonder why there's small crowds at games.

[georgedoylesrightleg]

25e to go ta game in the road aginst the biffos. fcuk it if you cant pay dat.

[les Antiques]

15 for the terrace as good as view.

[Sideline12]

This laois team need our support, very few supporters came to our league games so I hope we get a good crowd tomorrow evening, Offaly always bring a big support when it a big local Derby game.

Not broadcast anywhere for those out of the country?

[Blueforever]

Writing on the wall when Lillis is a starter subs must be terrible where from here I don't know lots of the players have not the basic skill 

[SCFC]

Terrible.
That's a very poor Offaly team so leaves us miles off the level needed for Division 3/Tailteann Cup.
Obviously the sending off cost us but an awful lot of the scores including the two goals we conceded were self inflicted.
Very few positives to take from tonight. Fitzpatrick possibly our best player. Evan starved of ball. The other 4 forwards were terrible.
I think one of our greatest ever players Mark Timmons is almost done. 

[Saint88]

This years division 4 was very poor. Today proved that. Has Justin McNulty ever won a Leinster Championship match?
