Eddie has his team.

It's working damn well

Why on Earth are we attempting to parachute in our own man?

Strong rumours that hogan got the all star hurling award, would be very disappointing for rowland who was far better

burdizzo

Would of thought he was the worst of the three.

Not surprised if Hogan got it

That must mean there's a space being cleared on a mantelpiece in Rathdowney then

Fingers crossed

I would have thought Rowland, then Murphy and then Hogan.

I thought it was announcwd on the night or do they do it turn about - hurling, then football?

Rowland was never going to win this but he fully deserved his nomination. Hogan fully deserved his award.

Realistically to be winning an all-star your county needs to be winning or contesting provincial or All-Irelands or you need to stand way above the competition (e.g. Patrick Horgan).

Super achievement for a Laois player to even get nominated for an All Star at all considering they were one defeat away from heading for Christy Ring territory the previous year. This should whet the appetite for all Laois hurlers in the coming year and hopefully we can build on last year.

The real issue us that there is no All Stars for the Joe McDonagh teams because Laois were nominated here.
The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That's real glory. VinceLombardi

Rowland may deserve the all-star but this is the GAA we are talking about , theres no chance he was ever getting it, Tipp have far more pull than we could ever dream of, the GAA were never going to face that down.

.....and as for no Joe McDonagh awards for best 15 dont even get me started..........The GAA are shower of pr!cks

Everyone back there probably already knows this but in case you don't, TG4 will be broadcasting the Laois v Dublin match from last July on Wednesday, 1 January, at 16:10.

You'd think after the year we had in 2019,lads would be begging Brenman to get on the panel and drive the thing on,

It seems the same level of apathy and indifference is prevalent amongst many when the opposite should be the case.

We needed everyone on board this year to be competitive,no wonder Brennan is frustrated

It wouldn't go on in any other Liam McCarthy county.

Cue the excuses

couldn't agree more, and this is the reason why Laois will never compete at a consistent  level at the top table.

I'd imagine Eddie wont stick another year of this. I feel for the lads still involved but the mentality in this county will never change.

It seems to be a Laois thing. It's the same with the footballers. Very hard to explain but so frustrating. And, as a result, we will always lag far behind the big boys in both codes.
