Hope we get the win on Saturday and bring home a trophy. Living over here in Mayo and as Jimmy Sloyan would put it, I couldn't stand another loss to a team picked by Andy F*cking Moran! Twice in two years is enough.

A division 4 title is as it gets for the time being, we are still a good way from a division 3 or a Tailteann cup.

Well it won't be Ger Brennan. Louth have snapped him up.

Why would they have that rule for the semi-final draw? It doesn't make any sense. Some teams having to play 4 weeks in a row doesn't seem fair either. Come Semi-Final there should be two week break and an open draw in my opinion. As it stands there is a three week break to the final. They could cut that back to two instead.

Anyone see the Leitrim no4 near the end ? Disgraceful act but when it's down this level it's brushed over and we move on .

What happened?

Lowry from Laois ended up on a stretcher and in Sligo hospital. Laois were trying to break out fast out of defence at the end and Lowry was taken out of it off the ball. I don't know what happened but the Leitrim player got black carded.

Only for injuries and blood subs, would Billy Sheehan have even made any substitutions at all on Sunday. There has been no progress or development of the squad or players at all since he took over.

Division 4 is wide open after this weekends results.

I disagree with people who say staying in Division 3 should always have been our number 1 priority. Being in the mix for promotion should be the minimum target from the very start. If you have no ambition to improve and get to division 2 then it will never happen. Getting to division 2 and staying there like Clare have done should be a realistic target for any Laois manager at the start of any season. If you stay in division 3 or 4 too long then the rot sets in and it can be very hard to break out of it.

I hope some of the stupidity and poor tactics from the Fermanagh game have opened Sheehan's eyes. Tactically we need to be much cuter if we want to improve and not stagnate in division 3 or 4.

Very poor in Enniskillen today. Fermanagh gifted Laois two goals too so it could have been even worse.

I don't know whether they are just following management orders or if some players just don't have a football brain but what is the point in driving in long balls if there is one Laois player against 2-3 Fermanagh defenders in the full forward line? Lillis must think he is playing rugby, he tried to drop kick a long ball in once if not twice! The Fermanagh supporters around me were actually laughing at him and saying he should be in Lansdowne road. I don't know where Evan O'Carroll was supposed to be playing but he was too far out the field to be effective and was a shadow of himself. He is normally one of our best forwards. Dicey Reilly was the only positive from today. He came off the bench and moved the ball quickly and ran at Fermanagh.

The funny thing is Division 3 is still wide open and Laois could go still go up or down at this stage. I would not rule out Billy O'Loughlin's Longford sending us down in the last league game.

When was the last time we bet Kildare? Seems like a long time ago.

Thanks, didn't see that  8)

An option to pick a club and see their fixtures and results next please. The old website used to have it and it was very handy to screenshot or print out.
