Dooley tailed off a small bit towards the end of the Joe McDonagh campaign but still should have been on the TOTY

With all due respect to Paddy Purcell, who was a phenomenal servant to Laois hurling, he should not have been near that Joe McDonagh team of the year.

The Harps again, what is going on in here. Surely a piss take at this stage. I'd love a bit of what ye are on.

Harps contenders again for 2026, come on. This same suggestion goes on and on in here.

They have shown nothing, absolutely nothing, to suggest they'll be contenders this coming championship. I'll be surprised on year but they haven't been near it in a long, long time.

And I actually like the Harps, a good club.

In my opinion, Cha Dwyer was the outstanding performer of the hurling championship. Followed by Mossy Keyes (who had a quiet final - well shackled)

Neither won the county final however, which seems to have been decisive. Stephen Bergin did have a great year, but he was not the best player in the championship, imo.

They've no one strong st U20 unfortunately. A poor team. That result is to be expected.

Bit still shocking from the club. As a previous poster said, some degree of effort is being put in with younger groups but it will take time. To me it's just shameful the whole thing.

When you look at some other clubs struggling for numbers.

Jack Kelly would be a very good addition, provided he applies himself in there and knuckles down.

I am not sure about Fionn Holland. He is an athlete 100% but I'd have questions over his hurling at that level. It's a bit of a wile one for me, wonder how that came about.

Serious questions have to be answered about this. How is this man going to give adequate time to his role with Laois GAA (which is hugely important) and be Wexford coach?

Also, isn't there a conflict of interest here?

That's before even starting a conversation about how he pulled this stroke, and how Wexford entertained it.

I would agree. His communication with players is shocking. Complete power trip on every occasion.

This is where we are however.

Camross have Mossy & Dowling, they can literally beat teams on their own if they're ticking.

C/B will have to shut this down. Conway can possibly handle Mossy, but I'd have questions over Joe Pearson managing Dowling. Jordan Walsh might be capable but leaves them very small in the front 8. Missing Picky big time.

Clough/Ballacolla V Camross Final.

Ballinakill desperately unlucky in normal time today, took Ballacolla all the way and had a simple enough shot at the end to win it that went wide. Fair play to them, they haven't many numbers at all but clear they belong at this level.

C/B on the other hand will be concerned after their performance, they will face a different animal against Camross with Keyes and Dowling up top. However they have the experience. Should make a decent final.

I'm backing Camross to win it easily after what I seen today.

Didn't Phelan make a huge mistake last year too? I just can't understand how they looked at this and said yes that's fine, put him in there, give him a semi final. What was their thought process?

Laois GAA needs a serious shake up. Its stale & rotten to the core.

I see Pat Phelan has been given one of the semi finals. It's rewarding failure at this point. But not unsurprising with Laois GAA.

Absolute brilliant idea. Gives proper insight and some accountability on what's actually happening in the county. Keegan is very ope to any ideas from anyone that might improve our underage structures

Would he be open to the idea of improving it himself

Ref Pat Phelan, why not

If there's one thing Shane Keegan can't resist it's a podcast.
What in the name of god was this expected to achieve?
So much to be done, and someone thinks this is a good use of time.

It's a build up of little things like this that has us miles behind in both codes. What is Keegans actual role?
