I'm really looking forward to when Port and Portlaoise meet in the 2021 championship. Hopefully they will be kept on opposite sides of the draw and not meet until the final. It could be a great rivalry over the next few years and with Port currently top dog in county it will surely drive Portlaoise' efforts for rest of year to regain their crown. Unlike when Stradbally won title few years back, this Portarlington team is going to be around for next 5/6 years.

It's going to be very hard for Graigue to regain the enthusiasm and drive for the 2021 championship. After shipping a comprehensive loss like that it surely will take the wind out of their sails.
it'll be interesting alright, Considering the post match interviews mentioned Portlaoise multiple times and apparently Port should be going for a 3in a row I think we can safely say Port have Portlaoise in their focus... It'll be interesting how Portlaoise react to this challenge,Port should win the next few but that's easier said than done.

This of all years is Port's to win. I think they will not only win the senior cship this year but it could signal the dawn of a new super power in Laois football. Port to win this year and maybe even string a few together. Huge underage talent there.

Ye scoffed at the time :)

I wouldn't underestimate how difficult it is to put county championships back to back in either code in any county! Winning a county final does not appear to be beyond Port. Talk of stringing a few together consecutively is nonsense.


"Nonsense" indeed.

How long did that take you to find? Busy man.

I'm glad you kept the timestamp in.

On the 6th August 2020, talk of winning several in a row was nonsense.
Indeed, I don't think Port would have won one had they been talking like that back then.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled.......

Took 3 or 4 minutes.
I think speculativeeffort would disagree, you owe him an apology... be a man and own up.

Wow demanding an apology for an opinion expressed in 2020 which was valid enough at the time. Best thing to do is just leave it so cos I'm sure if you looked hard enough then everyone of us have said stuff here that proved to be wrong

That's the way of the modern world unfortunately. Everybody has to apologise for everything that they have ever done or said back as far the 60's.
Sure haven't we had a crowd of ladies forced to apologise for singing a classic song that is currently top of the charts.

I was only bringing it up for the laugh.  :D I was basing the prediction on Portlaoise being lower than previously with no real signs of a lift coming while no other contender looked likely to develop. Ballyroan Abbey probably the exception.
