Two Laois under 14 football development teams were well beaten by Offaly at the weekend. No reasons to be optimistic for the the future, as of yet.

Relegation could be accepted had we used Div. 3 to introduce
more youth, but it was disheartening to see management going back to the older guys time and time again. Bleak future awaits us.

This is as bad as it gets. We are rock bottom.

in reality look at the teams we are faced and are facing not one super power of the gaa,,if we dont beat a scutter wicklow team i duno where were going as a county ,,i expect top win by 6/7 points pulling up,,feking hell limerick are top of the table whipping boys of munster ,,antrim the whipping boys of ulster and wicklow the wipping boys of leinster ,,lets take our heads out of the sand here we should be winning handy sunday

It says a lot about you when you describe our opposition as 'scutter'.

We are just in a bad place,  can't beat the first one on one physically.  We must of coughed the ball up 70% of the time in a tight tackle.  Bringing Ross on is not the solution to this,  I heard about the Kildare practice game but he is a shadow of the player he was.   To be honest his inclusion is an open joke at this stage,  there is only so long this can be defended.  Shoot me

I think you are right. Billy was supposed to be introducing young players into the team.

I wasnt at it, my brother was at it, he said "Didn't get a team sheet but the number 5 was excellent!  Quite a small team though"

No 5 for Laois? That was Sean Greene of Emo, I think. He's not a small man by any means. He's a good one though.

Fermanagh are in around our current level at the moment maybe even a little below . We need the 2 points Saturday to have any aspirations to be competing for promotion .
Any truth to the rumours about 1 possibly 2 lads returning ?

Who are the returning players?

It was in Hawkfield. Good performance from our second string, I'm told. A certain young(ish) forward from Arles kicked 2-4! Kildare seemed to use a few more from their starting 15 than us.

Ross or Donie?

The lads playing rugby should reconsider and commit if they can. It can only benefit Port too. Irrespective of the level we're playing at, or whatever, you won't improve as a player not being involved at inter county

There are 5 or 6 guys who have not committed, who could improve this team a lot.

tippmaninlaois very bitter because he had to migrate over to Laois. Shouldn't be stealing our women so!

Try again

Although speaking of Laois Women,20 series and 184 players in

Ye finally get a Laois Person onto Laochra Gael

This is pathetic!!

Watching the match today, I'm sure Mickey Harte will have learned a lot about Laois' strengths and weaknesses. However, win lose or draw tomorrow week, it seems to me that Billy Sheehan has Laois on the right path.

Time to start worrying? Forgive the pessimist in me but Laois doing well in the O'Byrne Cup doesn't augur well for a good year

Although Laois have used 34 players in the O'Byrne Cup thus far, we still haven't seen seven or eight who were also said to be part of the 40 plus panel in pre season training. Amongst those we have not seen tog out yet are the two Bennetts and Jake Foster of Portarlington. Another we have not seen is Donie Kingston. Does anyone know why we have not seen these guys yet? Are they still part of the panel? Might we see them against Kildare?

I was very impressed by the hard work displayed by the Laois team against Mesth last night. A lot of guys have not committed this year, but if Billy and company can continue to get his team to play in that manner, this may be a decent year and the long term future may be bright. Its early days, but continue to play like this and those not committing may come back eventually and the supporters should also come back.

Who would be a Laois GAA supporter?
