Next Laois football manager

[Unlaoised]

I was at five league games and all the championship games ..

Laois were not fit this year ...End of story...I don't care what the players say...I know we have a few the wrong side of 30 and a few with miles on the clock but they were blowing out of their arses more times this year in the first half in games it wasn't even funny.

We lost big leads to Sligo and died in other games including offaly this seemed to blamed on disipline but in truth one man shouldn't make a massive difference.


The same against Clare in the last game they were running at us in droves and O'Loughlin getting sent off didn't change that.

Wicklow late on we nearly the the game go...Wicklow in all fairness.

Creedon might be a nice man and have a top team in place which the players liked but that top team didn't get the best or even 3/4 of the best out of some of our players in my opinion .

He was backed into a corner a bit from delegates rash statements about drinking etc but maybe its for the best he went.

I wouldn't dispute that we weren't sufficiently fit this year however all the fitness in the world won't make slow guys fast.

For most of the league and all of the championship we could not handle pace. Longford troubled us with pace, Kildare and Clare destroyed us for pace. We couldn't keep up with them without fouling them and we couldn't get away from them when we had the ball. I believe that if we were the fittest team in the country this year it would have made very little difference to our fortunes.

time for nominations

. Nominations are futile as IMO the next manager has already been decided upon. It will be interesting to see what club nominates the Ex Louth football manager.

Who is that?

[portlaoisekid]

good god

[Junior Ex Laoistalk]

Who is that?

Colin Kelly steps down as Louth manager following Longford defeat

[Unison]

Kelly?  Someone on this forum else said that Mick Dempsey was the next manager. I think there is a bit of kite flying going on here.

Having made repeated disastrous appointments in the past, surely the CB are doing to consult before they make another bad decision.

lets hope gerry leaves us with some form of legacy because he hasnt been great at the top job

[Unlaoised]

Colm Kelly is a strong rumour doing the rounds...Story is he is mad for the Job...

[redsetanta]

Stability is what's needed no another fly by manager.

[Junior Ex Laoistalk]

Colm Kelly is a strong rumour doing the rounds...Story is he is mad for the Job...

Is it Colm Kelly from St. Joseph's or Colin Kelly, former Louth manager you mean?

[town1980]

colm kelly my arse ,his love of laois thats why he wants the job,local man young and energetic  save money in process thats way forward

[Unison]

Is it Colm Or Colin?

[Andy06]

I heard the Colin Kelly story myself, that the job is pretty much his. Not really sure what to make of it though. I'd be doubtful of the rumour on the basis I hadn't heard anything about interviews taking place.
