I could put together a list of 15 people that I would want front and centre in the supporters club and I would be confident that everyone on here would have at least 10 of them on their shortlist
Yes, it's a test for the CB, but I get the impression Cheddar looked for a bit of backing from the and didn't get it either, so there's the precedent.Precedent on the football side too with Sugrue. And to be fair to him, his "wish list" wasn't exorbitant.
No luck for Zack down under this morning. Was a very poor game to watch I thought.
Major extremes there HF, and while I don’t agree with what you are saying, looking back I don’t see why we had full one code only weeks given the year that was in it.
Some sort of rolling schedule where teams played every 10 days or so (with at least one midweek fixture) surely should have been looked at.
Maybe it’s all easy say in retrospect.
I don’t get the connection you are trying to make between the format and player’s commitment levels? Surely the football format (where you have no idea who you are facing in the next round and must win to activate a safety net) is better than a group format where you know 3 months in advance which games will be tough & which will be less of a battle?
You've seen league football in Laois, right? It's like watching pub league soccer imo. You just have to be playing a couple of rounds of Championship football in April/May. How else can lads be expected to take their sport seriously? Listen don't get me wrong. I love our format and all debating aside, I think it's perfect for amateur sport. But I also have no doubt that it's a major contributor to our declining standards.
The scenes from around the country at the weekend were a disgrace. GAA HQ had to act if they wanted to maintain any semblance of credibility. It looked like there was at least 400 in the stand at one match which showed a blatant disregard for the rules.I know. There was no stopping the Dublin games when they were 'lock-down', was there?
This is a very good point. I know the situation is unprecedented but this kind of thing is very hard to take when there are inconsistencies like the ones you've mentioned above.
Arles have a decent amount of young lads in the 12 to 14 age bracket at the moment with a few more younger still. Basically the next generation. Sons of current and former players so it's be a while before any of them are making an impact at senior.Good to hear Arles have a few young lads coming through. It's been too long since they produced a decent crop. I'm sure there are a few young Conways and Walls!
The underage group are doing well though so the signs are not bad. The life of a small rural club.
At least this team went the whole way and can look back at the senior win as well as their final appearances against an all powerful Portlaoise team. With a bit of luck they might have won another one. Plenty of teams in Laois who haven't managed that.
Are we not able to get a couple of decent knowledgeable hurling men to do a bit of commentating & bring a little bit of life, surely someone that can know names, describe set up, understand what teams are trying to do, & know the hurling clubs / scene ?? 🙄Who's doing it Ogie? The quality on the football side is very mixed. Some good, some terrible.
Just a few questions. Rosenallis won this last year with a very youthful fast team. They look like they will stay up too. Did they generally compete in A or B football underage up along? I know some of their hurling teams more than hold their own in A but what about football? Were they generally strong B teams on their own?Strong B teams on their own mostly. Might have been in A from time to time but mostly B. And also still have a bit of work to do to stay up!
