Laois / Re: Tailteann Cup 2023

 First 15/20 minutes on Sunday are vital. Don't concede early goals and don't get any red or black cards.
If we can get to half time ahead, level or narrowly behind, I think we have a decent bench and maybe should use some of them a bit earlier in the game.

Ballyfin into Division 2 final and promoted. Any of the other three still have a chance of joining them.
Rosenallis safe and again any of the other three can avoid the drop depending on results.
Been a good league as has Division 1.
OK, mostly played with understrength teams but well structured and virtually no walkovers.

Playing Paddy O'Sullivan in his proper position has been the one biggest factor in turning it around to some extent.

The guy seems to be vey highly qualified. If he gets a few years in the post, you'd be hopeful he could get things moving in the right direction.

Think it'll break 10,000 for the semi-final double header. There was 16,000 odd at last year's semi-finals.

I think Heath and Ballyfin will go up from Division 2. Park-Ratheniska aren't quite good enough and Courtwood's squad is too small.
Think Emo and possibly Rosenallis will stay up sending Ballylinan and Clonaslee into Division 3.

Obviously Billy's not gone yet but it's hard to see how he could be kept on for a third year.
Just saw where David Power stepped down as Tipp manager and I'd say we could do a lot worse than him if we were looking for a new manager.
In Tipp, his hands were always tied by the sheer dominance of hurling in the county. Even then he did a really fine job including that famous Munster title three years ago.

Fuckin hell, Ulster football is dead again
I'd hold no great candle for either of these teams but I still think they're both potential semi-final teams. Hard game to watch though.

Barrowhouse, Annanough and Kilcavan all doing well here and all have brought some good young players through in the last year or two.

Park Ratheniska grab the fourth spot in the top half of Division 2 despite losing to Courtwood. 
Ballyfin did them the favour they needed by drawing with Ballylinan.
Emo miss our despite hammering Clonaslee.
Division 1 will be sorted Tuesday night when Portlaoise and O'Dempseys decide fourth spot.
#41
Port, Bally Abbey and Josephs safely in top 4. O'Dempseys or Portlaoise will take the other spot.
Graiguecullen, Stradbally and Killeshin in relegation group with either Portlaoise or O'Dempseys.
Heath, Ballyfin and Courtwood all safely in top 4 in Division 2.
Last spot between Park Rath, Clonaslee and Emo. Rosenallis and Ballylinan will be in relegation play offs.
Mountmellick, Killeen, Ballyroan Abbey second team and Arles Kilcruise going well in Division 3.

What was the applause on 14 minutes for?

That's always in Rafferty's locker.

That's important. You're right. For years now, there has been this mistaken belief that we have the players to do this. We just don't.
Unfortunately true. Realistically for the next few years, I cannot see us do better than possibly getting back up to Division 3 and maybe the odd win or two in the Tailteann Cup.
I've said before here that there are some players out there on the club scene who would probably improve us enough to be Division 3 material but it just doesn't look like it's attractive to young lads to be part of the county senior panel these days.
