it really wasn’t a bad year until that last match, encouraging in a lot of ways, hoping we can kick on in 2020.

Yep lots of lessons to be learned all round from Portlaoise, playing the ball/match ahead of you being the main one. Wexford game was good in patches, done well to dig that out. Coming down the stretch we pulled ahead of Galway/2017 AI champs, in a must win game. Shows the potential: have to push on from that…

Whose winning?

#9

Forgot how comprehensive it was.

#10

Will we ever get to one?

#11

Yes. We will. And at some stage there will come a tipping point. Perversely, dual lads will pick hurling, once we have won the hurling All Ireland without them.

#12

Can we block WiFi from seeing this thread?

#13

I second that motion!

#14

That’s fair enough but the loss v Laois colours everything. Has certainly knocked us back. Will have to wait & see if lessons learnt and we become stronger mentally because of it. Could go the other way also. Huge year now for Kenny.

KK hammered us in the last 40 minutes of that game. Pains me to say it but they did. Scoreline didnt really reflect it. We were steeped to get a draw against Wexford. As for Laois, not much more can be said. I’d admire the positive spin lads but it was a v poor year imo. Its piss or get off the pot time now for that team.

The Laois game in all its glory is being shown on TG4 on Wednesday afternoon.

Oh sorry. Thought this was the Good TV thread. :smiley:

Overall feeling on the year underwhelmed, you can point to this and that and margins here and there but I never felt we had it in us to compete with the best when they are at their best.
That said the glass is half full as I do believe there are lads within the next year or two that can and will make a difference ready to break through

That’s it in a nutshell. Watch either semi and one of the quarters and I dont think us at our best at any stage this year would have won any of them games. Theres scope there for improvement but it’s now or never for a lot on that panel.

#19

Beat the best at their best? No, we’re a ways off that for sure but we are close to the second best when we’re going well. There is a slight penchant around here for being overly critical at times, just in the doom and gloom around the laois game we were reasonably competitive most of the rest of the year - even against the best in the league getting 21-22 scores in most games, if we could lift that to 25 or so we’d be a lot more competitive.

Thanks for the heads up
