Its all very fine making progress at senior level, but if there is nothing coming behind them we will soon return to Div 4.

If they hold firm, you can imagine the response they'll get from Tom Ryan when they go with the begging bowl for redeveloping their "stadium".Quote from: High Fielder on June 26, 2018, 11:00:38 AMAnd I dont disagree with that but, I make these two points and let it go then:
Maybe so and deep down I'm guessing that's how it will pan out. But maybe this is something worth fighting for and taking it as far as it goes. There is no legal obligation on Kildare (so far) to play in Croke Park and there wasn't on us to play in Kilkenny. The GAA will be embarrassed and humbled by a no show and they have needed that jolt for a long time
They've done f**k all with Newbridge over the past 20 years and thats on them.
They had a chance stand with us in 2015 and turned their backs on us, like every other county in Leinster. Our CB shouldn't be slow in reminding them of that too when and if they come looking for support.
Kildare should take their hush money, do a deal on either selling Conleths or redeveloping it, and move on.
As Don says, this will be sorted as the week goes on with the promise of a nice few quid for the homeless!

Fitness was a big factor Sunday we just weren't used to that pace of football but we did well for 30 minutes very well infact.
Brody and Begley were the standout players and I was proud of the team.
The best support they have got in a long long time as well was a great atmosphere up there when Kingston kicked them two points in the first half the roar was unreal !
Bring on the super 8s we might loose every game but waht an experience and what a chance to creat history ...Would love to see Kerry up here in Portlaoise!
Is there a case for playing Graham Brody out the field? It seems to me he would make a very strong attacking half back.

They're in the gym tonight, and out tomorrow night. I'd love a crack off either of the above two. Failing that, its a descending scale of Mayo-Tyrone-Monaghan, depending on venues, most likely Croke Park double headers inevitably.
I'd give them some chance against the winners of Armagh and Clare and that would be a good measure of how far we've come and of the others IMO no chance

Delighted Kildare have taken a stand against the GAA. We should have done similar when our game was moved to Nowlan Park. GAA on a slippery slope the last few years driven by greed. Dubs playing 2 super 8 games in Croker is another joke.
