Laois Senior Footballers 2026

[SCFC]

Well, it's stating the obvious but would have been great to win Saturday evening rather than that draw but I also feel that Limerick are pretty decent and will pick up plenty of points. Might be a point gained rather than a point lost?

Hard to pick out great Laois performances the other night. Both midfielders did well, Paddy O'Sullivan is always good and Swayne did OK too.

Not wonderful in attack. Evan well marshalled and we missed an awful lot of decent chances.

Nice to see Mark Timmons a great servant for Laois on the sidline now,
Not a nice evening for football last Saturday, the backs done OK still a bit shaky, midfielder put in a good shift, forwards need to improve a lot, won't win many games scoring only 1.10 and no two pointers, saw Matthew Byron playing for Courtwood in senior championship last season scoring lots of two pointers from dead balls all over the pitch should he be given a go ?

Couldn't make the match today. Scoreline surely says it all. That's a roaring disgrace. Anyone there to give an honest synopsis?

[Joeythelips]

Just seen the scoreline, bloody hell that is not good. Wexford backed up their good win away to Fermanagh by taking us to the cleaners. The Sligo game is a must win now.

What a embarrassment County Board and clubs should hang their heads in shame years of neglect of underage players in clubs and schools and this is the result clubs that would not win a match in junior championship in most counties masquerade as senior clubs in Laois and huge money spent on outside managers to hold there status and all the while youngsters left to fend for themselves with usually a parent with his own lad on team taking the training session cannot see this changing anyway soon

This sums up laois for the past 5 years and for most of the past 140 years. A half decent performance one week. Followers get some bit of hope. Followed by a sledge hammer the following week. I just don't know anymore.

How can we be so poor?

Well, we have had poor underage teams for 15 years. Also we must have the lowest Sigerson Cup representation in the country.
We haven't hit the bottom yet.

really poor result and puts huge pressure on us going into next weeks game. even before the results from the other games today that game is now a must win. The division will have a lot of strange results, down fell over the line in Limerick with a few late scores which probably wasn't predicted. At the start of the league i thought 5 maybe six points would help us avoid relegation but with the bad start against the two newly promoted teams that both now in hindsight targeted us we have to win both home games at the very least. while i am hoping we can get over Sligo, the Westmeath game will be far more difficult. win both of them and we have a great chance of survival, if we don't we need a very big result away to Clare, down or Fermanagh. Again Fermanagh might be the vital away game but only if we win the next home game. The two outstanding games today probably will see us further down the table, probably second from bottom if Fermanagh lose because of our -14 scoring difference already.

One thing is for sure unless we up our current scoring rate we won't achieve this and will definitely go down. 1-10 and 0-9 in the first few games is extremely poor considering since the new rules have come in the scoring rates for nearly all the teams have risen. the starting forwards scored 1-2 from play against limerick and a sub forward 0-1 and last night we were slightly better with 0-5 from the starting forwards and 0-2 from forward subs but again this is nowhere near good enough. with Damon Larkin's absence the current two midfielders are not known to be big scorers to help with this. it is also noticeable that we have not scored any two pointers in either game. A lot for the management to work on.

[High Fielder]

Whatever chance we have/had of staying up, we need all our best players involved. We're already on the back foot because so many aren't in there. Aside from that, we're in a right mess. But look, let's play musical chairs at the next CB meeting. That should fix it. No other county would tolerate this BS
