Laois pissed its so called golden generation through the cracks, tipp got further on the back of one all ireland win than we did in the 4 years or so we flirted with the eliete... cb still a sense of delusion that were good

That golden generation pissed a fair bit away as they'll admit themselves. But its good to know Offaly men were watching.

I reckon he's closer to home than you think 

Gracefield?

Speak to your club and ask would they object to you transferring to another club. I'd imagine once they're grand, it shouldn't cause too many problems in the softly applied Laois GAA transfer system. From reading the local paper recently it appears as if you could drive a ten tonne truck through the Laois GAA transfer system anyway.

Any "supporter" who ridicules their effort as a 'waste of time' can f**k off as far as I'm concerned.
I won't be posting on this forum again.

Fair fucks to you

Following a meeting in coppers last night The Heath have pulled out of the deal. Something about a vodka and Coke not being paid for.

Timahoe having to stomach the prospect of tossing both their football and hurling teams in the space of a month. Strange times.

Was in thurlas tonight, munster 2-20 leinster 2-16 value for money, cha got 2 or 3 points and played well from open play in general, matthew whelan came on as a sub and was out of his depth to be fair but was really impressed by the full back, didnt get his name but he was a westmeath hurler on callanan and held his own in plenty of 50/50 balls

Tommy Doyle.

From reading the report in the Leinster,The 4 Portlaoise Parish Clubs Chairmen had a meeting and an agreement thrashed out and in place.

Yet when the county board meeting took place,lo and behold the Portlaoise Chairman seemed to have forgotten what was agreed despite the other 3 Chairman all singing off the same hymn sheet.

Thank you for that. I found it hard to understand what had actually happened at Convention from all the to-ing and fro-ing on here.

I think clonadmad meant Convention not County board meeting, well that's how it read in the paper .

Mountmellick and Emo ? Mountmellick have put up a big news announcement coming soon on their Facebook/Twitter page

Hardly John O Loughlin coming back to Mountmellick? If it is it's a serious boost for them.

A recent post on Instagram would suggest so

So say Timahoe and The Heath do join, they'll play as a Gaels team in the Senior Championship. Timahoe will still have their team in the Intermediate and The Heaths non-selected players will have to make do with playing in the Junior. Then next year if Timahoe happened to win the Intermediate the amalgamation would break up and The Heath would have to go calling on the lads that they didn't want to come back and play Senior again - is this right?

As every captain says, the subs are as important as the players. So they are.

With a Today FM logo?

Whats wrong with Timahoe & the Heath joining up,  I would prefer clubs geographically better located but this makes our club championship harder and everyone up's their game accordingly.  Player get the opportunity to play at the highest level while maintaining links to their old club this is good for everyone.  How good would Josephs be if they join Barrowhouse.  It is all dependent on your aspirations as a club,  both clubs into the future will struggle for numbers why not join together form a stronger unit and see where that takes you.

Timahoe were a senior outfit only a year or two ago. Its not like Donal Miller in Annanough where he was blackguarded by the system. I doubt we're exposing a huge amount of players in Timahoe to Senior ball that haven't already had it, or wouldn't have it again if they got their shit together.

Barrowhouse is a different situation and better befits the benefits of a Junior club forming a gaels with a Senior one. Albeit its a big step for Barrowhouse because they could easily be swallowed whole by Josephs.

The Heath and Timahoe amalgamation seems to be almost done. That will be a very strong senior team if they can work together. Heard a another Gaels is almost done too, ( a strange combination in terms of geography!! ) Most lads who want senior football will get exposure now anyway.

How does something like this actually work can someone explain? I mean with regards to where they train and play, who manages, what happens the extra players that wouldn't make the new panel etc

Picture it as an entirely new club, that only the elite players will have access to. I don't mean that in a snobby way, but its best that everyone view it thusly and that way both clubs can continue to perform and slipstream with the new entity. Neither club should expect immediate success, but inevitably they will and generally thats why these fall flat on their arses.

I still don't see this making it by one of the clubs EGM's.

It's not rocket science lads

Oh that's an outstanding contribution- cheers!

But it's all laid out in the DRA report, that's where I got the info.
