Its been a big weekend of major football games already; hope we make our mark tomorrow. Best of luck to squad and management.

We looked good in spells today to be fair but the substitutions cost Antrim, from the moment we made the 4 changes the game slipped away. Conhuir Johnston surely worth 10mins that takes some explaining why he didn't get it if fit which I believe he was.
No consolation but super shooting by McBride today quality player.

Just not good enough

Thought the same about Johnston. Disappointing result. Laois kicked on when we just lost it really.

I think we can be a bit one dimensional with McCann and the better teams will be wise to that

Very disappointing but there were good passages of play too.

Yeah kidder Laois just a bit of a better team really and that's the reality of it.

Typical Irish!! Whinging Cnuts

Hard to put the finger on it. Started well in both halves but lost our way badly. Strange shot selection.

We'll come again.

We didn't turn dominance into scores when on top, good teams do that, we had a very good season and unfortunately lost out today.

Closing out games is the making or breaking of teams, high praise for our subs last day, bandwagon negativity today, the old saying dammed if you do, dammed if ya don't

We've one manager that picks the team, the experts on here you'd be hesitant on letting them look after your Z team

But their knowledge is phenomenal

Where was Ryan McQuillan today? Was heading a great season but don't think he featured? Injured?

bannside · June 23, 2024, 08:54:26 PM

Good chance Dommo got the Jersey based on his performances in training. Not much between Ryan and Dommo, two gooduns, plus Dommo did really well in Croke Park last year. Sometimes that can be a factor, as HQ can catch a few players off guard if they haven't played there before.

G&T,you must be having a laugh, Andy has stopped the yo yoing between div 3 and 4 that was happening when we has many bigger names on the panel,went 5 in a row unbeaten before today, and took us to power rankings of 15th...with a weakened squad. And there's been no walk outs, temper tantrums, agendas or negativity. Plus the vast majority of players are in high praise of the set up.

But you're fully entitled to your opinion, I'll concede on that point.
