Quote from: Chrimtain on December 05, 2023, 02:20:49 PMWhat clubs are discouraging their players from representing Laois? Hurling or football or both?Would you blame them?

Will Dan Shanahan stay on with Laois now that he is part of Ken McGrath's backroom team with the Waterford U20s?
Quote from: Robbo on August 27, 2022, 11:44:35 PMConvenient how the result of Laois 5-11 to Wexford 1-7 wasn't posted in his reply.
You're doing a great service sharing those results.
The Tipp Games Dev twitter account, for example, didn't but important that you get to make your point.

I have a son in squads, and you seem to have more information about the squads than we as parents do. So with that, are you a parent? Coach with the squads? County board executive? Full time employee? From talking to our own coaching officer the extent of the detail you have on squads fixtures etc is much more than is circulated to clubs and parents so if you could direct me towards where this information is shared please that would be great?Quote from: Zooming around on August 26, 2022, 01:15:01 PMQuote from: clonadmad on August 26, 2022, 11:25:40 AMQuote from: Zooming around on August 26, 2022, 10:06:56 AMQuote from: clonadmad on August 26, 2022, 09:56:06 AM
Both Laois u14 teams in the Sonny Buckley this Saturday in Waterford which is the u14 B all ireland competition
Laois 1 play Wexford 2
Laois 2 play Tipperary 2
In the quarter finals
If both teams lose they will play each other in a shield semifinal
Pure madness. Who organises this rubbish? There's no way any county should have two teams in the same competition.
Are you actually blaming the organisers for where Laois find themselves ?
You do know how laois found themselves having 2 teams in the B competition?
Maybe if Laois were serious about their u14 players,(see my previous post as to the utter shambles it's been this year)the first team wouldn't be in the B competition,and they would be the same as every other county

No. The situation we are in is all down to ourselves. I am however blaming them for putting a structure on a competition that allows two teams for the same county to meet in a national semi final. What was wrong with the old system where the A teams played in the Tony Forristal and the B teams plus some weaker counties played in the Sonny Walsh. A much better and more straightforward system.

Yes, but that in itself shows the ridiculous structure of the competition.

100% correct. God be with the days when we were doing well in the Forristal, competing with and beating the top counties. We can't even get into it now. Shambolic.
The laois A team found themselves in the B competition because they were the worst team in the qualifying section
That's how they found themselves down there
I presume we'd preferred if those kids got the shite kicked out of them in the A competition
At least then we could fool ourselves that we had a team in the A competition and everything was great
As for the god be with the days comment
In its 40 odd years of existence
We have never won it
And I think Laois got to a semifinal just the once although I'm open to correction
A lot of the time we have been cannon fodder
So you can take off the rose tinted glasses there too
