The downfall of Casemiro is getting sad to watch at this stage. He's there for another 2 years on 350k a week so he'll probably feel alright about it.

Real Madrid do not sell key players when they are still good

Was hoping Saudi would come in for him in the summer. Think he'd be out of his depth there at the minute.

Jones made a good go of it in the finish up. Think a lot of the criticism he's getting on socials isn't warranted. Good player. Hopefully he kicks on now next season.

Conference League for Man United next season?

Man Utd won't even qualify for that now with Chelsea and Newcastle above them now. How play Arsenal, Newcastle and Brighton which can't see getting any points now.

Antifa are as big a shower of scumbags as the people they're protesting

Laois / Re: 2024 Joe McDonagh Cup

What the hell has happened with Westmeath?! They're second from the bottom, right now.

( )

It's relatively straight forward brother, unlike Offaly, who have a winning mentality that they discovered in the mid eighties, when they picked up all irelands, and continuing through to the naughties, although they inevitably fell away because like ourselves and Westmeath, they are relatively small in terms of population and have both codes competing annually, ourselves and Westmeath are confidence teams, a couple of wins and everything changes almost immediately. When we lost to Carlow in the first league game this year, we could easily have fallen apart, but one win and then going the Dr Cullen and producing a great display totally changed the Laois mindset, then hanging on to the coat tails of Offaly in Portlaoise, keeping the within two scores of us for 55 minutes until Paddy Purcell got the first of two goals, has completely changed the teams mindset, but I personally believe that if Offaly turned us over by a few points then we most definitely be looking at a different Laois team. Westmeath are exactly the same as Laois. They, like ourselves have some wonderful hurlers, but after a poor league campaign and losing to kerry has caused them to fall through the floorboards confidence wise. In live in Nottingham so I can only watch via livestream, but I watched Laois minors lose against Offaly, quite simply because we never believed that we could have beaten them. Offaly didn't win that game, Laois totally threw it away, hitting the post with an open goal at his mercy, poor decision after poor decision in front of goal proved that Laois have an uncanny habit of beating themselves. Finally I truly hope that I am wrong but the u20s will probably be exactly the same, because Offaly know what it takes to get over the line with an inferior team. Laois Will play Offaly in the Joe McDonagh final, forget about Kerry or Down, We beat Kerry by 10 points and they beat Down by a similar margin in the second round. Can we beat Offaly in a final with this current squad ?? Absolutely, but will we, we'll that's where psychology plays a major part. Finally I have a question that I would love an answer, Abbeyleix got to a senior final last year, although they were well beaten, but in the last ten years, they have won minor and u20 championships more than once, please explain why there is only one player in the whole squad ? Let's be brutally honest, if a town is almost perennially winning underage finals then they must have a few good hurlers so what's their problem

Shades of Higgins here. Deffo fell over the line but fair play to him
