Unfortunately the rot has already set in,  TOF was a joke manager, Lillis was dreadful & Creedon unfortunately was a gamble who has not worked out.  The CB and most of Laois Football fail to realise that we are going to have to think outside the box to start to rebuild.  Poor performance on the pitch = less support and money.  This means we are unable to put more development coaches out into our big towns, Players commit for a few months then just give up.  Do people honestly think we're going to get better without doing something radical.  Yes the answer is we should get rid of our manager  as this guy is clearly a waste of our time and money.  We cannot afford to spend 5 years rebuilding we need green shoots of recovery fast.  We are into our fifth year of regression so I think we have wasted enough time.

The problem for me is that this is just a repeat of past problems, our defence is poor and while people will talk about Meaney as a turning point.  We are now 3 losses from 4 in Division 3.   This is really poor fare whatever anyone says.  We should have been beaten by Armagh and prob should have won against Sligo so they equate each other.   We really need to stay in Div 3,  championship is only going to be a disaster if we are relegated continously.  People will waffle on about turning it around in championship, you don't usually it's a continuation of league form.  Creedon had an opportunity to build confidence in Div 3,  he hasn't managed that and I fear his reign will be short.

Sligo are abysmal and they beat us,  we can hop out excuses but maybe we need to have a long hard look at ourselves. 

So far Creedon has not set the world on fire, and worryingly our decline continues.   You don't get time in management another couple of losses and the confidence goes.  Players who were on your side are now back stabbing, whispers begin and your over before you start.  Creedon needs to get winning fast.   So far I see no comparable difference results wise in the last 3 managers, each one was brutal.   

Tony always the same with you, ever the optimist.   

Town to be honest I have thought about this a good bit over the last year,  Lillis regardless of payment was dreadful and the fact he was free does not take away from it.  Creedon looks equally dreadful and his been paid I suppose that means we are now into fool me once, fool me twice territory we are actually on the third time.  Blame clearly lies with county board. Or whoever is picking these managers and developing our overall football strategy from U14 up.

O Moore Park = 100% gate for County

I have held fire on this year so far, last year I spent my time giving out about Lillis.
So this is where I am at
Plays Meath (lot of hope)
Plays Louth (hope lost, guy has obviously not watched Laois Football before looking at team he named)
Play Armagh (same as louth but Armagh have their own problems we fluke a win)
Play Tipperary (same again but this time its more torture as Creedon obviously hasn't a clue)
So here is where I am at anyone who sends out a team so unorganized and without any idea of balance clearly has no clue. 
There is very little defensive understanding, over reliant on inexperienced players and some big names being picked when they are under performing.
I am sure he possibly can turn things around but honestly he has Laois so naively set up I doubt it.
verdict a more organized version of Mick Lillis

The Heath are far better than last year's championship show.

Same sh.it different circus.  Dreadful defending is shambolic. 

Tierney I think was asked in around the same time as McMahon, honestly don't know if he went in or not.   I have seen him the last two years, prob not the player he was a couple of years ago that's not saying he could not come on for the training and practice he would get in with a county panel.   If he wanted to come in and try I would not say no to him,  his relatively fresh so there might be still something to give.  Gavin Tynan is 22-24 age bracket,  he is about 6'3 still too skinny but he has ability to be honest I do wonder how come he has never been looked at plenty of lads have come and gone that would not be as good and the sort that their is still alot left in the locker if someone can get it out of him. 

If M. J good enough to back in I am surprised they have not looked at one or two more of ours.  Gavin Tynan is prob a better ball player than the vast majority of senior panel but thus far has not had a look in.

Glad to be wrong, really thought we would not get the result massive win hopefully the start of a turnaround.  To be honest I am still pessimistic.   We did get results against Armagh last year and still got relegated.  However Big Result.

I am sure we won't have to worry about our heads blowing were now talking about a comparable event to an earthquake.
