Laois / Re: 2019 Joe McDonagh Cup

« on: April 16, 2019, 03:47:59 PM »

I wouldn't completely tar all the Camross lads with the same brush. The main protagonists are not involved with Laois and I would assume that any Camross man with an ounce of integrity would condemn what happened to Ross. I would also think that those Camross lads in with Laois knew there would be fall out and bad blood over the incident but still committed. They are wearing the county jersey along side Rathdowney lads for a common purpose. From what i've seen this year they're doing well.

Delighted to see Ross King back.

Brilliant news. Hopefully the CB doesn't allow a situation like this to arise again and instructs referees to be a lot tougher on players who carry out such attacks on the field of play.

King will be very important to us if we are to win the McDonagh cup. Our wides tally against Limerick shows the need for someone of his talent.

I see that tickets are €20 for the game on Saturday and it's unreserved seating in the Hogan only. Im assuming tickets can just be purchased on the day at either of the GAA ticket offices!

LAOIS:
Graham Brody;
Stephen Attride, Mark Timmons, Gareth Dillon;
Trevor Collins, Colm Begley, Marty Scully;
John O’Loughlin, Kieran Lillis;
Eoin Lowry, Donie Kingston, Benny Carroll;
Ross Munnelly, Evan O’Carroll, Colm Murphy

That team is well capable of scoring 1-14 or 1-15 which will beat Offaly.

Good attacking team named. Should be well able for the 2 points against a struggling Offaly team.

I would think Roddy would be more than welcomed back in. We could certainly do with him. I would think he wouldn't take that long to get up to speed and there's 2 months until Mcdonagh cup first game against Offaly. Be great to have him back.

After winning the corresponding game last week and with an 11 point lead at half time it was hard to believe that Carlow got the victory (with 14 men). Fantastic achievement for them but Offaly must have thought they just needed to play out the second half. I know momentum changes games but to give up that sort of lead at home in such an important game musn't give much hope to Offaly hurling supporters.
Offaly will have more than enough for Div 2 hurling and will be back up straight away however when the likes of Bergin and Dooley go there isn't much to replace them. Anyhow if the GAA really wants more teams up to standard then they need to invest in the likes of Offaly, Laois, Westmeath, Antrim etc. It should be targeted investment directly to underage coaches and school liason coaches. Clubs also needto be brought on board so kids are getting the right coaching all of the time,

I felt sorry for Neil Foyle Saturday evening. How many times did he actually get the sliotar in hand? Similar to the Dublin game he gets well marshalled and  ends up in a physical battle for teh game. The lad has ability but not sure how he should be played to get the best from him. He certainly stays trying but we're not getting him invloved in the game enough.

Willie Dunphy injured I take it. Picky left out too. Cha did look a bit unfit the last day. Defense lines up the same which is fair enough.

There seems to be a problem finding the best position for Picky. I thought he played well against Offaly but was quiet enough against Dublin.

Trying to buy a ticket online for the game Saturday evening but can't see that game anywhere. Anyone know what the crack is?
