Fair play to Port, if you going to pay big bucks then pay it to someone who is worth it.

Unfortunately, competitive doesn't mean it's any good. Let's be honest with ourselves here. It's a very poor standard of football being played, and Portarlington have obviously decided that they can phase their preparation in line with the latter stages of the Championship. Based on what they did last year, that should work for them, because the other teams are very, very ordinary imo.
The relegation decider should be a warning to club executives about prematurely ending good underage relations. Killeshin have disimproved since ending their relationship with Crettyard; and it was a mutually beneficial relationship. Similarly Ballylinan, who probably benefitted being the top dog in Ballylinan/Glenmor. Shocking to see how bad they've both become.
After watching the dross of the last number of weeks, I'm undecided about the future structure of the Championship. My current thinking is that it doesn't really matter. Football in this county is in a pathetic state right now, and in many ways we just need to rip up the blueprint (whatever the f**k that is) and start afresh. There's very little we can do that will help our situation short term

Shocking result, would be acceptable for hurling... not football.
Can't find any match report or lineup anywhere.
some in the Football Fraternity labouring under the impression that football in the county is better than what it actually is
The Footballers got torn apart by a Division 4 Team today
Thats the level they are at
Anyway, I really doubt there are very few from the "football fraternity" who think our football team are currently anything other than in a bad way. We've haemorrhaged players from last year's squad and have seen countless lads turn down Sheehan's invite to play. I'll be thrilled if we stay up, beat Wicklow in championship and maybe win a game or two in the second tier championship.
It was a tough day for the lads who are on board yesterday. Not many bright spots. James Finn looks a good addition. And good to see his clubmate Sean Moore playing the full game. The more county football he gets, the better. Mark Barry was good too. He knows where the posts are. Hopefully we'll see a few more faces Wednesday night and also next Saturday.
Ye Laois boys crack me up
Wexford have more of a recent and historical tradition in football than what Laois has, appearing in all ireland semi final in 2008
It must be nearly the centenary of ye last reaching one soon ?
but you wouldn't have "the brains" to know that either
I guess you'd have tipp down as a "traditional" hurling county too even though we have a much richer recent and historic football past as well
Bottom line
Ye seem to have this misguided notion that ye are more of a football county than Wexford
stop fooling yereselves
Whooooo rich recent history alright, 1 provincial title in 80 odd years didn't realise the 2008 Footballers are all still playing on with their wealth of semi final experience.
Go back to hurling talk, I doubt you'd know a football if it jumped up and bit you on the mickey.
Even as late as yesterday
Wexford proving it has a richer footballing pedigree than Laois

Quote from: Zooming around on December 07, 2021, 01:49:29 PMI think thats where the huge problem lies, we dont have the core group at mid twenties to drive the team forward.... Billy has no choice to go with youth...
Some of the names mentioned there are very young and you'd wonder how they would get on at Senior inter county level. The last thing you want is a very young lad getting scarred, packing it in and not being around at all when he's 24/25/26/27 (the age when he would actually be physically able for it).
Quote from: High Fielder on November 17, 2021, 11:33:36 AMYeah for sure, we are all part of this....the ones I feel sorry for are the players who strive to be the best they can be and play for Laois but are always swimming against the tide
But that applies to us all PK. If they are doing all that they do
, they deserve our support. They deserve at the very least to see a couple of hundred supporters on the worst away day. They get nothing like it at times
