Fearon books Citywest for AIF, by Easytiger

[No wides]

I always thought it was great when Armagh won the All-Ireland, it did so much for weaker counties at the time because everyone thought, well if a piss-poor team like Armagh can win it anyone can. There was talk of three in a row (the only time they do three in a row up there is when repeating the leaving cert) and there were Armagh men criss-crossing our little island in helicopters as demand for their managerial skills grew. Others became mercenaries and joined Dublin, Kildare and other clubs to generously donate freely the magic winning formula.  Sadly it all ended like a great big water balloon and as always, just when Laois were on the rise the rug was pulled from under us again.

As funny as ever!!!! Oh the occupied 6 don't do the leaving cert!

Laois gave us our fill of it in the 03 quarter final,as did Sligo the year before at the same stage,in both the first game and replay.Hard to see Laois,Armagh or Sligo being contenders anytime soon these days

Correct but Lapis are complete and utter white, they can beat us in the leagua but are brutal,in the All Ireland series, long may their ineptitude reign.

We were very good back then and could well have won both days. I'm not sure we would have gone on and beaten Dublin and Kerry like you guys did but 2002 was probably the best Sligo team ever. Gave away a Connacht title by poor team selection that year.

We're not that bad at the moment but sorely lack some big men up the middle.

They're so brutal in the AI series that they beat you twice.

Thank you for this information. If I were from a county beaten at home by Longford, I wouldn't be such a petit malin!

The difference is that you'll not find me calling Longford brutal in 2016!

Laois had a good wee team in the early-mid noughties. Gave us a couple of good games.
