Not a bad first game for us and whoever is taking over the team..

Meath Dublin Kildare are by far are much further down the road unfortunately. Yes we got to a minor final but Dublin, Meath & Kildare on same side of the draw. Club wise is no comparasment at Minor, you look at Dublin teams playing Kildare and Laois Club teams and it can be quite painful to watch sometimes. We have a long way to go in my view unfortunately, I would quote Emo played a Dublin team the week of the Laois minor championship final and were beaten by an under strength opposition by all accounts.  Yes a minor final is great to be in but it has to be more consistent going forward.

Whats going on with the Mark Rooney situation ?

Not surprised with Tommy joining as Peter relys on him big time, only thing surprising that he is willing to leave Tipp. This is basically the management team that beat us in the Qualifiers a few years back in O Mooore park.

Not that lipped

I've got information that's it's Peter Creedon former Tipperary football manager.

It will be common knowledge later this evening

Wouldn't be very excited by if Peter was appointed, sure it was  Tommy Toomey who called the shots when Creedon managed Tipp

May aswell offer Davy Fitz the job at this rate

It amazes me how no names, no comments, nothing coming from the CB, Im not sure about the Tony Mc Entee thing, sure why would the CB go near him when Mayo are about to go into the AI Final, at least they'd wait till next week.

Cunningham said he didnt want it, only way he will take it at this stage is if Limerick or Wexford don't go for him, absolute farce at this stage, the only way the CC can justify the delay in a successor is if we pull off a coup by getting James Horan or Mc Stay if the Rossies turf him out which is unlikely, but we will probably end up with some sort of bandit like Paul Bealin

Banty was ran out of Meath so that will probably mean the Laois CB would take him in a heartbeat.

Supposedly not interested

Im sure the county board will find some great lad from Dublin or something who will be our savior, Bring back Tomas O Flatharta sure he doing mighty with kilmacud minors.. In all seriousness we need a new manager soon, its dragging on, need him in place to catch some the championship, It has to be someone who has a bit of passion for Laois football and who is capable for the Job. Mick ticked one box, we thought he ticked both but unfortunately it all fell to sunder half way through the league and the panic set in and we got Cunningham,   I am not buying this rubbish of a rebuild, we have been on a rebuild since 2007, ive a pain in my backside watching our footballers under achieving, this year we go to the bother of beating Armagh twice to loose to lets be frank a fairly average Clare team who we beat a couple of years ago.

Worryingly quiet now, at this stage we be left with Keith Higgins or a Chris Conway type of appointment

Paul Curran is one of the names being mentioned? Jason Ryan, John Evans names have also been circulated?

Footballers playing Roscommon in a charity challenge game tomorrow night at 7 pm in Kiltoom, just outside Athlone.
Be an experimental team, I'd imagine.

Fairly heavy defeat 4-13 to 1-8

Division 3 is a cert and early exit from Championship.. wouldnt fancy us against Anyone other than Carlow at this stage.
