I would love to see Clancy involved but not as manager just yet. Maybe put him in with Creedon and let him see the setup at first hand and with his experience as a player having gone through a number of managers he would have a lot to offer. If we got out of Div.4 fairly soon and Clancy take over then he might have a good young squad to work with.

There is no point pinning our hopes on the current squad as they are going to fall apart next year so let's be patient and hope our Co. Board take into account how serious this situation is and take steps to rectify it.

[The GAA's rule 6.44 b (ii) states that a team which exceeds the number of substitutes allowed can forfeit a game, be forced to play a replay or be fined, depending on the circumstances.]

There is no one in Laois that wants a replay over the 7 subs .. That says it all

This is disgusting, it shouldn't matter whether we want it or not, our Co. Board should look for it, our Manager should look for it and the powers that be should insist that a replay must be played. They are the rules made by those guys and like it or not we have to play by the rules.

No mention of it at all on the Sunday game tonight but if it were any other team as has happened in the past it would be brought up and discussed by the panel. Are we really that insignificant now and are we just gonna stand by and let them away with this...

[Sunday's Result]

Sunday's Result

Portarlington: 3-12
Crettyard: 1-8

If you want Creedon to go at least offer some alternative person to manage laois. They won't be actually queuing around the corner for the job now, will they. The county board have a lot to answer for, they have now to get the finger out before football is lost altogether to Laois..

He's a scurrilous little p***k. Gloating over Laois at their all time low is disgusting.

There's a few more like him here, a lot of them raised their little heads tonight.  Some supporters they are....

[7 Subs Used:]

Another chap sent off when the game was in the mix. F*cking pathetic

Have listened to local journalists criticise poor Laois support, but I pity Laois supporters. Why support unfit and indisciplined teams? My advice is keep your money in your pockets.

Both of you guys were obviously at home and not at the game. O'Loughlin received a second yellow card but no-one can remember him getting the first one. He was being pulled and dragged off the ball and eventually shoved his marker away. The ref as usual took the handy way out and issued two yellows. The only other Laois player that received a yellow before that was Stephen Attride, not O'Loughlin.
Having said that Clare were the better team by far, way fitter and some great movement from their forwards. They deserved their win even tho' they did use 7 subs. I don't think a replay would do Laois any favours but it's out of their hands now.

7 Subs Used:
Clare: Joe Hayes; Gordon Kelly, Kevin Harnett, Martin McMahon; Pierce Lillis, Ciarán Russell, Dean Ryan; Gary Brennan, Cathal O'Connor; Cian O'Dea, Eoin Cleary, Sean Collins; Keelan Sexton, David Tubridy, Jamie Malone. Subs: John Hayes for Russell (56 mins), Gearoid O'Brien for Tubridy (56 mins), Seanie Malone for Sexton (61 mins), Darren Nagle for O'Dea (61 mins), Eoghan Collins for Harnett (64 mins), Darragh Bohannon for Lillis (69 mins), Kieran Malone for S Collins (69 mins).

Big slip-up from Portlaoise tonight.

Portlaoise 0-7
Ballyroan Abbey 2-6

Think the Mayo man is another one of these lads who throw up posts on several county websites trying to get lads riled up, check him out, he's all over the place..

Think it's a final between 1 and 2

Don't be fooled, he's no more a Laoisman than you are StGallsGAA. No Laois supporter speaks like that about their county.

I have seen his style of writing and spelling on a Kildare forum lately so that will explain his stupid rantings. Probably from Athy as they hate everything Laois.

My advice is to ignore him, we have given too much time and space to this joker. Replying to him only encourages him to come back time and time again..
