The greatest trick the devil ever pulled.......

blueandwhite1

I think the lads on the podcast are making some good points. The current system is doing nothing for us. I would prefer to see us getting a mix of matches 'at our level' - Antrim, Westmeath, Offaly, Carlow, Kerry AND a couple of shots at the bigger teams every year, if we earn it. 8 hammerings a year is doing us no good and certainly wouldn't inspire people to join the senior setup. Yes, if we are good enough maybe we can qualify to play only top tier matches but this might never happen, despite the optimism of some die hards. I think the points being made were about thinking differently which I agree with. I'd love to hear what the players think but I suspect they are not loving this.

Sounds like Laois County Board.

Like many county boards really. Same problem only worse in Mayo this week. Hard to serve two masters.

Mayo would be able to serve 2 masters given their population size and resources,if they were arsed

They had no problem allowing the galway footballers in to train in  Castlebar this year

Martin Fogarty was right when he said about the way hurling and hurlers are treated in half the counties

The Laois County Football Board. Been that way for years. Our national game just gets in the way for those boys.

Laois Hurlers are probably ranked 10-11 the footballers are ranked 30-33

You will have to remind me as to the "players of old" and the great all ireland winning teams they were part of

Galway at home tonight at 5pm.
Going to be a tough slog for the lads.

Happy with the team. Fennell will be needed back there for his pace.
Going to be a terribly tough evening. We are down just so many options. Wonder wil we see a debut or two from the u20s. I think  a few were called in so maybe parlon, shanahan, Duggan or obular.

2-36 to 0-21.
Not bad in conceded goals, but a hammering otherwise.
Cha off injured along with Dowling.
Hopefully they'll be back for Westmeath.
We'll need them and then some.
