I don't think Ballyroan will fear Port the same way we fear Kileen.

Maybe ye should have 

None of the other clubs would of let this happen if they couldnt be relegated.Iimagine if relegated they have the option of offically joining up or they just  go there seperate ways

I tend to agree with him get a team fit and developing a defensive system is easily done,teaching lads to kick points from 40 yards is alot harder

Couldnt understand kevin coming on ,game was already won at that stage.whats story with rogers is ge finished with seniors again

Well come on you would say that when your knocked out think most clubs would like to win the last minor comp,as regards having all tesms in A first you could see some of the weaker teams take a serious hammering if they come up against the likes of st pauls or port

If the rule was implemented properly when the Kingstons transferred, none of this would happen. Now it's open season in my opinion. You can't allow one and not another. I don't blame Josephs because it's been done before and it will be done again. Fair play to any club who turned a lad away on principle, but there's too much underhanded stuff going on in Laois. If you don't play the game, chances are you get left behind. Daly wanted to play with Jospehs. Always bear that in mind before having a go at Jospehs
Alot of players would like to play for plaois doesnt mean they can

Giving him a fake address is hardly doing nothing,also do you not think his mates from joesphs were not constantly encouraging him to transfer.One thing for sure its going to make them alot stronger

Seems plaois are placing a big emphasis on winning league,their second team conceded to port last night which means they are automatically relegated even when they were doing well in league

Hate these stupid gossip tales,its still three weeks from match and lads are entitled to a private life which is none of our business,they all have partners etc who hardly want to stay housed all bank holiday wend

Seems this is under garda investigation now and rightly so.Think an overall ban for the club might be a bit harsh but def they should be banned from playing any home games for a few years maybe its changed but always found it intimadating with supporters nearly on the pitch roaring in.Also maybe thr county board could put them on probation and have neutral observer at every match involving them to report any further incidents(clonaslee covers costs).In saying that if club dont co-operate fully with any iinvestigations it will say alot,most parents and management of teams will worry about playing against them without serious change

I wonder are plaois suffering from moving out of the town and kids can no longer walk/cycle to the club.sometimes parents arent bothered dropping kids to football on a sat/sun morning which is a real shame

A very successful under 14 team hardly classifies dominating underage, also ye can hardly be described as a rural club anymore with abbeyleix  involved.Getting back to my point what we need to see is with the likes of your clubs promising players is for the laois developement squads to improve them especially physically and having it that like 15-20 years ago it was every young platers ambition to play for laois

This all revolves around Portlaoise, I seen a Laois Today Picture from 2009 when they won the Feile.  Correct me if I am wrong not one of them is a starting player on the Portlaoise Senior Team now.   BallyroanAbbey and St Paul's are the dominant clubs at underage as of last year.  I suppose the financial pressure Portlaoise were under has forced them to take their eye off the ball.  A few years back George Doyle was managing the minors I asked someone on it how many from Portlaoise are on it and he said none, I swear I nearly fell over.  How could anyone expect to do anything at juvenile in this county without Portlaoise.  Regardless of what other clubs think Portlaoise has to get more support, it's where the vast majority of our population live

Actually Portarlington, Graigue & Mountmellick should be thrown in  ........You constantly(nearly every second comment) mention your own club as dominating underage but how many clubs are involved in this setup and what benefit is that for the county likewise St. Paul's who often have huge panels depriving many youngsters of games.You also constantly have a dig at the town clubs like my own port a town catering for three clubs.the past 5 or 6 years Portarlington have been extremely competitive in underage ,the players are being produced but it's up to the county panels to pull them in and get the best out of them

It always seems to be the case that whenever Laois are in underperforming it's the club championships fault.Well the county has nearly sole access to over 30 county players from November  to the following July with the clubs then getting them back for 2 months and now you have zero access to your county minors till they finish which was August last year in Laois .My point is with  prob over 80% of their time spent in with county panels it's not the clubs fault for us underperforming at moment

Asking a lot of young lutrell, meaney obviously will play midfield also but still a big ask,also buggie  on Campbell you would be worried about.armagh away would be the game I'd start as many of the experienced lads as possible.Has Paul Kingston not progressed in last few years games like these are crying out for his ability and size especially with us fielding such a light half forward line
