Great credit to both teams for a superHave to agree.Very enjoyable. O'Ds missed a few goal chances and could have had a free at the end to equalise.
game of football this evening in o.m.p
It’s a pity Laois GAA Social Media channels are non existentLaoistoday provides a great service and if we want Laois GAA to be covered properly,it has to be a premium service.The advertising model doesn't work particularly in a small county like laois. It's a service that can't be provided for free in the long term. I have signed up for a number of Subscription media and I will derive greater value out of Laoistoday than any of the others.
Yeah no fault of Billy's. He has what he has and we're not good enough. It's time to accept that. We have a million problems and nobody to fix them. I genuinely feel this county has no chance with the current County Board in place. We wouldn't do any worse if they stepped aside en masseThe County Board is the easy target here. However its composition reflects our clubs so we all have take a share of the responsibility. The clubs are the real culprits as evidenced by the resolute opposition to reducing the senior Championship from 16 as practically every club is terrified of relegation. In a county the size of Laois, 8 senior clubs is more than enough as 16 team senior championship is at the heart of our troubles as it contributes to poor standards and bad practices. Considering we are in Division 4 I imagine some young lads will return as there might be a medal in it.
Are many other counties in the same situation as Laois? Could the GAA not have allowed for a few weeks early next year to get the club championship finished. If they are worried about Covid and the after parties then don't let them take home the cup and get the Gardai to do their jobs in the town/village that wins it. It's hardly that difficult.It's not a GAA decision either at local or national level. There will be no club games until level 2.
The scenes from around the country at the weekend were a disgrace. GAA HQ had to act if they wanted to maintain any semblance of credibility. It looked like there was at least 400 in the stand at one match which showed a blatant disregard for the rules.I know. There was no stopping the Dublin games when they were 'lock-down', was there?
This is a very good point. I know the situation is unprecedented but this kind of thing is very hard to take when there are inconsistencies like the ones you've mentioned above.
I see that o Flynn came on in the divisional match and scored a goal. This after having a monster of a match earlier in u20 v port. I heard that three courtwood and an Emo chap went from the match in courtwood to the divisional match. For a lad not to tog for his club in championship isn’t good enough play and just be part of the panel there will be plenty of evenings when they won’t clashThe Clonaslee lads played in both as well.
True all rightRatheniska hammered sarsfields yesterday, apparently jack priestley and Sean O'Neill didnt play with sarsfields. They opted to play with the divisional side instead. U20 players shouldn't be selected for the divisional games while the u20 championship is on.If this is true it is nothing short of a farce
The margin of victory was a little surprising, but the results as expected.Considering Ballyfin got to the senior football semi, it's a cheap shot having a go at them as a lot of their key players play both codes. They looked a tired team tonight.
I didn't get to either but from what I have heard and read the two beaten semi finalists are simply very very limited.
A bit of doom and gloom about Colt and their future, but I think they have a brighter one than Ballyfin in the next few years.
Underage has been cruelly neglected in that parish for several years. Hop into bed with anyone, under any name and any jersey. It's hardly the way to build a club, an identity or produce a strong squad.
Colt, in fairness to them were involved in a steady long term arrangement and always pulled their weight in it. It's a bit more muddied now, but they are committed to it at least.
The Harps and Rosenallis are the top two, and it will be a good game. I'll reserve judgement for now!
After last night's senior game and the league final last week, I'd have to change my view that Portlaoise might win the IFC.Portlaoise win with a bit to spare. Hard to make sense of league form.
Micky Nolan is gone up as are Rogers, Mulligan, Paddy Downey, and the two young lads Maher and Ronan Mc. Along with that, t the likes of Adrian Kelly, Scott Lawless, Conor Dunphy and John Kavanagh weren't named on the panel last night so I doubt they'll play intermediate.
