my preferred team, would be Mick Dempsey as manager, with Clancy, Conway and Sheehan(fitness) as assistants/coaches.........Dempsey with more experience could take the heat as manager and the others as younger bucks could learn the ropes.

That would be absolutely fantastic....but why would Dempsey take the job?

Why would anyone want the job?

There is quite the difference between ANYONE wanting to test themselves at intercounty level and Mick Dempsey. I'm not going to bother expanding further on that.

Keysee I have no faith in the interview process as they have turned up some turnips so far.

That is a fair enough point.

You have a vendetta against Billy Sheehan Mr. Scully!!

I wonder why that would be, hmmmm let me think

This is above the heads of many of us! Any further information forthcoming?

If, after an interview process involving people who know what they are talking about, Sugrue appears to be a stronger candidate that the likes of McNulty, Higgins and Clancy then he should get the job.
He might technically be a Kerry man, but there is the world of difference between his situation and those on the managerial merry go round looking for handy dosh.

Don't know where your getting that squid,  they may like him but not sure the clubs will ratify an outside appointment.  Most of the clubs want a Laois man for the job, don't think any senior club nominated him for job.  I don't think the executive would like their nomination getting voted down, if they nominate Sugrue this is quite likely to happen. Maybe the County Board are braver than I think, but it would show really poor reading of the game within Laois.

Honestly couldn't see why people would have a problem with Sugrue?
Seems to be respected, has as good a record as anyone working within Laois, has a professional qualification that somewhat informs preparation etc.

As far as i know its R/E v C/B and Ballinakill v Camross and its an open draw for the semi finals.

Surely Borris/Kilcotton & Abbeyleix will be kept apart?
You must be a happy man at how ye are shaping up?

Great wins for Abbeyleix and Borris Kilcotton.
A county final appearace is not a stretch now for Abbeyleix.

I can't find confirmation anywhere but I presume that it's C/Ballacolla v R/Errill and Camross v Ballinakill Gaels?

Relegation is hard to call- Castletown have put in two decent performances, but when is the last time they won a senior game? There seems to be a real lack of belief there.

Nobody minds an exchange of views but calling people's posts, and by extension them, idiotic, stupid and mental, is too much. I've been guilty of it myself under provocation but not straight off the bat. I don't intend on letting it happen again as its bullying at its most base level. These things would never be done to your face.

Make whatever extensions you want!  Out of curiousity- how are you going to stop it?!

I might be missing the point, but if every difference of opinion is settled via PM then I don't think there will be much posted. It's dead enough as it is, particularly from a hurling POV.

Two 21 point hammerings.....jaysus!
Those 2 and Camross are the only realistic contenders.
That is two 21 point beatings in less than a month for Clough Ballacolla. Change of management is surely a possibility at this stage.

1) At what point do we decide that *bing* now our players are good enough to deserve being prepared properly
2) What exactly are we going to judge this good enough against?
3) If we produce some good minor or U21 players over the next few years do we refuse to allow them to join the senior panel? In case they would be cross contaminated like!
4) What players are going to commit endless hours representing YOUR county during this "resource-less" period?

Mental. Stupid. Unbecoming. Ill-informed. (Take your pick)

Just because someone holds a different point of view should they have to put up this level of abuse
This forum is rapidly growing down hill. Hogan Stand with all its faults has moderators.

Just to be clear (and it may well not be clear from what I wrote) that last line was regarding the opinion stated, not the poster. I know nothing of the poster.
The line

Mental. Stupid. Unbecoming. Ill-informed. (Take your pick)

was in relation to the opinion offered.

Stop taking people out of context. You do it a lot. It's poor form. You didn't get away with it this time.

Oh no, are you on the way over?!

Was going to leave it, but no I won't!

You were wrong about Creedon, and refused to accept it for months. You are wrong again!
You are talking in random generalities and there are huge holes in what you are saying- but hey don't dare discuss the flaws in some one else's ideas.....on a discussion board.....heaven forbid!!

Other nonsense ramblings that come to mind;

Suggesting Mick Dempsey- ye I'd say he's waiting by the phone.
Drinking alcohol would show up in players "samples"
The CB should suspend the players who were drinking
You are going to stop contributing financially to Laois GAA until you find out who the drinkers are (how is that investigation proceeding for you btw?!)

Calling people "keyboard warriors", "little boy" and a few weeks ago someone else was a "clown".

You are a fabulous contributor! Keep it up!

And I didn't say that either. I said don't spend fortunes on a panel that are failing. When you try to mince someone at least do it properly little boy

Keyboard warrior?
Little boy?

Go talk to someone would ya.
