Matthew Whelan (broken thumb)
Podge Lawlor (hamstring)
Conor Phelan (cruciate)
Stephen 'Picky' Maher (broken finger) all definitely out

Willie Dunphy (hamstring)
Cha Dwyer (tonsilitis)
Ben Conroy (pneumonia) are all doubtful.

John Lennon has damaged ankle ligaments
PJ Scully gone from the panel following a litany of injury frustrations.


Can we give them a walkover?

[burdizzo]

Jesus, what have they been doing since the Offaly game?

[redsetanta]

Ah jaysus that's very disheartening.
Although I would much rather have them all fit for the end of March if we've to play Offaly or Kerry in a play off. I thought that with a full team we might have given Limerick a game of it next week. Better to get the injured back fit.

[Unlaoised]

Galway must be rubbing the hands.....Roll on the snow that is forecast for Sunday!!!!

[redsetanta]

Team named. At least Cha, Dunphy and Conroy are named to start. Purcell back to centre back and Lyons and Downey come in. Very bare looking bench though.

[County baller]

Cha now not starting, Aidan Corby to replace him.

An average of 8pts loss every game.

Loss 3-31 to 1-11. 26pts, well above the average 8.

[redsetanta]

Bad injury to Dwayne Palmer by all accounts.

Loss 3-31 to 1-11. 26pts, well above the average 8.

As good as could be expected. Hope Dwanes injury isn't too bad.

[redsetanta]

Hard to believe Offaly were beaten by more in football. That's an awful hidin.

Long may offalys hidings continue, they have no respect for any aspect of laois so I will gladly do onto others
