Did that Kilkenny team not beat the Dublin champions in the previous round?? I don't think you'd say Dublin football is on decline cos of that result.

Didn't say they got it wrong at all. It's pretty much good every year. I was just wondering who the selection commitee is or do the club's have an imput.

Yeah but who picks that player? For example who goes to see all the junior or minor matches in the championship and then picks the best overall player? Or does  the club have any input and they say who their best player was. Just cos someone has an outstanding final might not make him the best player in the overall championship.

Just wondering does anyone know who or how  the football/hurler of the year in each grade is selected or in some instances is it just based on a how good someone was in a final.

I dont  disagree with  everything you say. I think the divisional are good. It's just I'd like to see no other fixtures clash with them and u20's get a fair crack at it. That's all. We can disagree on some things and agree on other things.  We're both  debating in the interest of laois football.

Sure font have a divisional championship at all so. We're a small county, no one will fall through the cracks.

Ive nobody in mind and I don't know how many if any are in st the divisional matches at all but I'm just pointing out that you shouldn't say u20's shouldn't be allowed  play in it. It should be open for everyone thst is eligible  for senior football like it is.

And if a lad is on his last year u20 this year where will he get noticed ? He could be overage for county u20 next year. He'll be back playing club football with his  club in 2020 and I doubt many lads playing league football with their clubs will get noticed.  So for some chaps the divisional championships is the only opportunity  for them to impress management.

Why shouldn't u20's have played the divisional matches? I don't agree  with players missing club games over the divisional  games but why shouldn't u20's play these games?

You learn plenty about a player in these sort of situations. Some rise to the challenge and some don't. I doubt Sugrue started this just to have a kick about on a Saturday afternoon. The only harm done here is by a few eager young lads. Quirke would never have seen some of these lads but for the competition. That alone makes it worthwhile

Well said. And the new manager might not have seen a good few of the lads playing championship football this year so this  is their chance to show their worth.  Divisional games are a good idea but I just think they shouldn't clash with any other games so that everyone gets an opportunity to play.

A club championship match should  always come first. The divisional matches were fixed for Saturday, then the u20 matches should not have been fixed for the same day. Play them Fri  or Sunday  or the following  weekend. Give the few u20 lads that asre trying to impress s fair crack at it.

It's not right the lads 19 or 20 years of age that have an ambition to play with laois should have to choose which match to play. The players may feel this is one of only a handful of chances to impress the new management . They shouldn't have  to miss either a divisional match or a championship u20 match. Fixtures should  be made so players can play both.
