Well Laois heads is there any new talent thats gonna take us to the next step?
I've heard about a fella called Ramsbottom who plays for Round Towers in Dublin suppose to be good
Any others?

Bud Wiser · December 28, 2006, 06:21:24 PM

There was a junior team in Timahoe one time and there were fifteen Ramsbottom's on it !
John Ramsbottom owns teh Park Inn in Harolds Cross, I wonder if it is the son.?

Not sure just heard my Da talking about him over christmas.There was about a dozen Ramsbottoms in Heywood C.S when i was there too!!!

I thought the ramsbottom playing for Towers was yer man Greg ramsbottom and had just transferred up to towers ( for a few shekels) like Mick Lawlor did a few years ago....

I'm prob wrong

Josey Whales · December 29, 2006, 01:13:02 AM

actually i think you're correct - along with Tomkelly who played with towers for a year.

laoislad · December 29, 2006, 01:52:36 PM

Yeah ye are right.. From what i can make out Micko didn't fancy him for some reason, looks like Kearns is gonna give him a chance though

ah greg, is a fine footballer, although he is probably in his late 20's now. he is originally from strabally. played ball with him in college.

laoislad · January 05, 2007, 12:54:42 PM

wonder will we see any new faces for game against Kildare on sunday?

You will definetly need fresh blood, last years crop are not up to it now or ever.

The PRO · January 05, 2007, 03:02:10 PM

It's Greg alright. Minor in 1995. Ex Park/Ratheniska and Stradbally, now with Round Towers in Clondalkin. OK player but hardly going to revolutionise Laois football.
As for your comment Mannix, piss right off. "Last year's crop" wouldn't have made a show of themselves in the All-Ireland final anyway. Mayo got it up their hole to beat them by 2 after a replay so don't underestimate them.

Laois wouldn't of made a show of themselves in AI final and that's for sure.
They save such performances for Leinster semi-final drubbing against Dublin. (3-17 vs 0-12)

Now explain to me how Laois would of coped against Kerry.

for you !

Heshs Umpire · January 05, 2007, 04:00:15 PM

The Laois-Dublin game you refer to wasn't over after 5 minutes anyway.
Whoever mannix is was a bit dismissive of Laois who have improved no end in recent years. There's not much wrong with the current Laois team and we don't need assholes coming on and running them down like that.

Dublin game was a freak and remember Longford should have beaten the Dubs..You can't judge Laois's perfomance against Dublin as the full measure of the teams ability,what about the games against Tyrone,Meath,Offaly and Mayo? Laois are top 5 in the country and with the hype of Micko gone i think we are dark horses next year

youbetterbelieveit · January 05, 2007, 08:02:56 PM

laoislad, any word on Donal Millar and Mick Brennan, are they anywhere near the county scene?

laoislad · January 05, 2007, 09:20:17 PM

You mean Barry Brennan? Yeah Barry is back alright haven't heard anything bout Miller will know more after game on sunday
