Please let it be Roy Keane. Please.

Infact it should be. He knows the club, MUFC is in his DNA etc etc

WTF? Roy Keane? What is he going to do go in an kick off an rant every week? United are a basket case currently. To be honest I doubt he would be stupid enough to go there anyway, the rate the club is chewing up and spitting out managers and players it is clearly toxic.

I see they are looking at Graham Potter which tells you where they are, they don't want to payoff Amorim if they sack him and if they do they won't have to pay compensation to a club for a free agent like Potter.

The absolute state of the club.

How they have got VAR so badly wrong is absolutely bizarre. In a fast paced contact sport such as football you will always have fouls and offside decisions that are 50/50 calls (or even 60/40 ones). If you slow teh game down to address all of these you spoil the game itself. Calling refs over to watch a pitch side monitor is a farce and unfair to the ref imo.

It was meant to be brought in to capture the CLEAR AND OBVIOUS errors that the officials have missed. If it takes 5 relays slowed down to the nth degree then it aint clear and bloody obvious. You would still have some contentious calls but big errors (Henry's handball for France springs to mind) get captured.

VAR should be a VAR official watching the game, he sees a reply, if it is an obvious mistake he intervenes and does not ask the ref for his opinion or a discussion he makes the call. Everyone would be happy with that.

It was a fantastic final day, the US team threw the kitchen sink and Europe and almost got the job done. Rory was utterly spent after the first 2 days. Fitzpatricks half point was massive and been overlooked as Bryson was US star player for me. He came back like a train after a poor start but Fitzie held on. Lowry was also ruined but pulled that half out of the fire. Incredible drama.

In relation to the crowd stuff, it was a handful of idiots and they get all the attention, 90% of the supporters were fantastic but as it is online the trolls and the idiots get the notice.

Also in regards to the envelope rule, that was created in the 70's surely it's a big enough tournament for each team to bring and extra player in the event of injury from now on.

Fair play to Arles, could have been well beaten in the quarter final and semi final, but clawed both games back from the jaws of defeat but this was a bridge too far. The final hurrah for some of their great players.

Well done to Park, worthy champions.

Nice one Joey, great idea for a thread.
How much is it to watch a replay?

€12.99 for an individual match or if you have an annual subscription its part of the package

[Saturday 13th September]

Starting a thread to make people aware of club games involving Laois teams that are live on Clubber (or you can pay to watch replays also) if you cannot make it in the flesh.

Graiguecullen v Killeshin at 2:15pm
Ballyroan Abbey v St Joseph's at 4:00pm

Clifford Ward is definitely the worst referee in the championship absolutely horrendous today, if Killeshin had of lost that game today 100% blame him...

I didn't see this game but I won't agree with anyone's opinion on the worst referee unless it's Mick Tarpey. End of discussion.

Ah lads - having a pop off refs from behind an anonymous name is really poor. Refs have good and bad days too but those two lads are in the top7 or 8 refs in the county and that's why they're getting senior games.

It's not a closed shop lads, the county board are crying out for refs if anyone fancies it.
I would not do it myself for love nor money as you do a good job no one notices yet you have a make a few bad calls in a match and you get dogs abuse in person and online.

Yes I predict a green and gold v maroon and white final this year.

Two interesting clashes for sure. Kilcavan and Park will both be underdogs surely which might suit both. Arles experience and know how might just give them the edge though and you would think the boost Ballylinan will get from such a convincing win in the last round will get them over the line.

Should be 2 cracking games and a good final too.

Serious win for Ballylinan who hammered Annanough by 14 points. Have they had players return from travel or what, they have been awful all year but that was some win, Annanough are no mugs. Ballylinan would surely be favs on the back of that display, although Arles also had a very impressive win over a fancied Mountmellick. When do we know the semi final pairings?
