We should hammer Wicklow,  even Lillis beat Wicklow.

Yea, but Lillis was special.... Bit like yourself really.

I'll be there too, not expecting much but hoping to be pleasantly surprised. I really think the key to our forwards scoring more lies with Donie. He is our go to man and his distribution was very limited last day.
He will always be double marked and seems to glory in getting himself out of that situation by beating two or even three men. That's all very fine but the majority of times he ends up getting turned over when one simple pass to a better placed forward would be the thing to do.
He has to start playing more of a get and give role and bringing the rest of the lads into it. He's a great talent and that would improve him and the team immensely

[All-Ireland qualifiers Round 1A]

This is the game the players should be looking at to get back on track and get something out of this year. I know we are poor at the moment but I don't think we did ourselves justice last Sunday. There is no way we are 14 points worse than Kildare and that will be seen when Kildare meet Meath.

Win this and we get some confidence back but lose and I really think we are in for a very bad few years supporting Laois football. Hopefully we will have Mark and Stephen back for this one and if we can get Donie to start spreading the ball around and bring the rest of the forwards into the game we can go a bit further.

Here is the draw in full:

Thank you for your forgiveness Master and I'm glad you acknowledge the amount of links I put in here. 

Don, I think I copied and pasted once and that was because I couldn't get the link to work but I must have put up hundreds of links.  Look here at the Newspaper Items thread and you will see what I mean. I am fully aware how important linking websites is to the owners of those sites and that's the reason I do it.

Do you think that some of us forlorn Armagh people are going to go into the Laois local forum looking for sympathy?

What the hell is this all about ? ? ? ? ?

There is no defending that display, one of the worse ever but real Laois supporters take no pleasure in saying that whereas you obviously do. Instead of waiting for Tony to defend it why not tell us what you would do to improve things apart from the soccer solution of sacking the manager.
What alarmed me about it was we looked so unfit and so headless with our deliveries in to the forward line. Kingston has gone back to his old ways of trying to do it all himself. He normally passes to Paul and when he went off he just took pot shots rather than give it to a teammate.
I just hope we don't get Carlow in the qualifiers...

As the saying goes, "You Can't Beat Being There"
I'll be there but I can't see us having big support in Tullamore if we can't get them to go to O'Moore Park... ??


Kildare team to play Laois

               1. M Donnellan.

2.M O'Grady. 3.D Hyland. 4.O Lyons.

   5.J Byrne. 6.E Doyle. 7.K Cribbin.

Good enough team, depends how good Kildare are. We need to stay in touch for as long as we can and keep everyone on the field. Where would we find the full panel for the game?

Exactly, and he's doing a great job. That's why I post so many links to his website. I forgot once and you hit me with it but no mention of the number of links I DO post.
How many times have you posted a link to that great website ??
