Laois footballers the Championship 2018 What went on and the review!

[blueandwhite1]

P.S. I felt sorry for Arlene Foster and embarrassed for the GAA yesterday having to watch such a one-sided and poor advertisement for the game yesterday in Clones.

Realistically, only Kerry and Dublin can win an All Ireland anymore. The game is dead.

I don't agree with that. Donegal and Mayo are not far off, neither are Tyrone or Monaghan on their day. Or Galway for that matter, they look very good. Don't forget, only about 3 or 4 teams can realistically win any league in Europe in any given year (in soccer), doesn't mean it's dead. In fairness, the super 8's this year with or without Laois will be very exciting. Seeing Galway and Donegal this year, I really don't think they'll be far off. Donegal will give Dublin a very good game in a few weeks, no doubt about it.

Super 8's will be a massive success that may not be a good thing for the weaker counties

If Mayo were going to win it's theyd have won it by now
Tyrone aren't good enough
Monaghan aren't good enough
Donegal show promise
Galway show promise

Dublin and Kerry are going to carve this shit up for decades, even more than they have up to now.

The rest of us are left with our mickeys in our hands while they make the sweet sweet love.

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.

Don youre some crack. Im giving up on the gaa altogether and taking up line dancing.

1. Stop giving the dubs money.. THEY DONT NEED IT!!
2. Tiered championship
3. Shout out to Kildare

Kildare v Mayo will be the big story of the summer. Interesting to see how it pans out.

Line dancing is dead. Pole Dancing is where its at.

This Kildare game will go ahead in Croker or not at all.
Ultimately Croker Park have Kildare GAA over a barrel with the whole St Conleths proposed redevelopment. Not to mention the "bailout" a few years ago.

Precisely. Kildare may get a few bob, but they should wind their f**king necks in and not be biting the hand that feeds.

[High Fielder]

That's what they like to think SCFC. They are not a private entity. They can't behave like that. f**k them anyway. They've fucked us over in the past and I was embarrassed by our weakness in the face of it. Never any talk of playing a Leinster final in Portlaoise. For once I stand in solidarity with our Flourbag neighbours

Not the same. We had a stadium capable of hosting the game. Kildare have a shithole carpark. We put the time and effort into keeping OMP up to standard, Kildare pissed it against a wall in Armagh.

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!

Gareth Dillon was outstanding.

Truth be told, no Laois man left us down on Sunday. We should be very proud of them all. We're not at their level, I fear no one is at present, but we've a lot to work on, and a lot of reasons to feel better about ourselves. If you meet a Laois player this week, tell them as much.

Conleths has a 9 or 10,000 capacity and sometimes you can't always get tickets for an event. The Kildare players want this and Health and Safety isn't an issue. Some big teams in England often play in grounds with small capacities and not a word about it. The GAA are dictators and just squeezing every last buck out of it. We rolled over and got our bellies tickled over Nowlan Park and I say fair play to Kildare.
