Dublin vs Laois 5th june 2011

I'LL SAY IT AGAIN

QUIGLEY WANT'S A GOOD KICK UP THE BACKSIDE.

Indeed good potential, but too leisurely in possesion

I note also mj t has been hauled of against donegal and longford most recently, can he cut the mustard under pressure

Sheehan is a definite liability if he decides to start throwing his weight around, we have a couple of guys who can take care of him 

Either ways Im a season ticket holder and have not missed a game this year, ill be in spain for this one though in the local bar 

[The Boy Wonder]

It's a pity Laois have to play our best midfielder, Kevin Meaney, at full-back. Brendan Quigley is at his best with a strong partner such as Meaney. Strangely Quigley doesn't seem to play as well with fellow Timahoe man Padraig Clancy.
I don't understand some of the abuse Quigley gets. OK he got a red during the league but showed great restraint in final againt Donegal when atacked. Was unlucky to get a yellow card last Sunday for pulling on a ball that was was there to play.

Every time I watch Laois I have my fingers crossed somebody will close that Sheehan lads gob for him.
It'd be worth the red card.

Hopefully none of our lads are drawn in by his ape like antics ............................ I recall brian cullen put him in his place a few years back though 

Laois number 3 meaney, ive been impressed with him I have to say................... if  his natural position is midfield Id put him in there with quigley and even shove begley back into fb position, i think begley still thinks hes in aus land the way he strides around

The best advice I would give laois is to try and play football, and not start any physical battles with our lads, the myth of laois size is dead and buried imho as you have some bigger lads around the park than us, dont try and prove that on the day though. because goombeens like sheehan will get themselves sent off or battered 

Dont try any tunnels antics either, should be a good game on the day, but I feel mcnultys very negatives tactics wont work on the day

Long time viewer, and first time poster............

Whats your views on the upcoming game ? 

Dublin will have this won before most of the intoxicated/stoned Hill 16 Dublin "fans" have staggered into the stadium.
Dublin will win by 10+ points IMO.

Nothing would give me more pleasure in seeing the whining lemons go home crying, give Joe Duffy a call on the monday to give out no doubt.

Dubs by 2.

says the messi lover...................... even messi wouldnt save ya come the 5th 

[Onlooker]

i would say that Laois will be much better than they were against Longford, but Dublin will win this one.  I agree with those who see Sheehan as a liability for Laois.  I believe they would be much better off if the left out the Kerryman.

It's worse than that.....he's really a Liverpool loving Laois man living in Dublin.

I've never known a GAA man to say "backside" before.

Sorry but this Dublin team are the most least intimidating in recent memory, in fact I would say they are soft, where are all the Keith Barrs gone!!! They need a couple of tough bastards imho.

[goal 10]

Here goes!! This is my opinion of the Laois team.

CULLETON- good shot stopper need's to get his kickouts on target.

HEALY- Good man to man marker, hope to see him on Bernard Brogan.

MEANEY - Still learning, playing at full back and getting better - could be the answer in the future at no 3

TIMMONS - Sound, but needs to get closer to his man.

STRONG - good going forward, but his first job is to defend.

JULIAN - Big surprise, steady & strong.

O'LEARY - Still needs to get stronger in the tackle, good man to mark Alan Brogan.

BEGLEY - If he is good enough for JUSTIN, that's good enough for me!!

QUIGLEY - [Where do I start) Disipline - Gets a card in every game - Looses the ball in contact - Forgets to pick up his man at times - Scores very little - But I still think he will come good some day.

CARROLL - Got a few nice scores, but disappointed with his work rate.

O'LAOUGLIN - Can't make this fellow out, but has huge potential.

DONOHER - Keeps trying, hard worker, worth a score or two.

MULLELLY - He has not scored in the last few games, he needs to get on the score board again.

SHEEHAN - Should be in the National Boxing Stadium, rather than Croke Park!!

TIERNEY - Can't win the 50-50 ball, can't get away from his marker.

CLANCY -   We need him back in midfield.

LILLIS - Very impressed with this Guy, worth a start against Dublin?

KINGSTON - Wish he was fit, We need him at fullforward.

BOYLE - Good Sub to come on.

So my team for Sunday against Dublin is
                                                       
                                      CULLETON
                         HEALEY - MEANEY - TIMMONS
                         STRONG - JULIAN - O'LEARY
                                   CLANCY - QUIGLEY
                         BEGLEY - O'LOUGHLIN - DONOHER
                         MULLELLY - KINGSTON - LILLIS

I don't expect to win, but I hope our boys put up a good performance, Win or Loose I am still a proud Laois man]

If Laois stifle BB what else is there to fear??  With McNulty there Laois will be hard to beat (and watch probably), it'll be a gameplan designed especially for the Dubs with the Longford game a distant memory.  If Laois have a bit of belief in themselves and dont shit the nest they can win.

meh................ not sure we are a one trick pony, we have alan back to somewhere near his best, connolly is playing well, ogara even though hes not easy on the eye, will trouble any defense........... we have options outside of bernard
