Football Championship 2014

JONJO THE MISER

Dublin thought they just had to show up, typical ignorant attitude from the dubs.
The whole country will be laughing when they loose.

Jesus, in a half won by the underdog, only 2 snaps of their attacking play in the highlights reel before the break is a bit of a mystery?

Boom__Boom

Will be very interesting to see how the Dubs react in the 2nd half.

GoldFour4

Brody is a great find in Goals, although the post has saved them a few times. It's gonna be difficult for them to keep this up though, they're putting in a big effort.

Will need to pull out a big performance in the second half from Dublin.
Laois are playing well, could be a close score at the end.

TheCitizen

This match on the telly?

Dirty Dingus McGee

If Laois can survive the expected Dublin onslaught in the next ten minutes they might have a chance.

Munnelly has been class for Laois so far.

Neeson

Laois will rot.

I know you have a lot of chips on your shoulder, but that's a pretty spectacular one.

Warning to keep it civil, some childish posts on here that have been deleted - no more please or action will be taken!

Da Shins Kelly

You'd still feel like Dublin have it to lose.

TheCitizen

Just watchin it now. Pat Spillane says Laois came to play Dublin a couple of years and "set" up the bus. Mixing his metaphors there.

Switch it on and have a look!

Clever play by Laois so far but their full back line is so weak its only a matter of time before the dubs rattle the net.

Hibbeler

really hope laois can hold on but can see the dubs stepping up a gear in the second half. similar to the leinster fianl against meath last year

Sadly yes. The problem is that Dublin score goals more often than not but laois don't.

Colm O Rourke reckons Laois are doing well due to the fact that they have only given up 6 goal chances in one half when usually Dublin get 10-12 goal chances in a game. Do the Maths .
Pat Spillane thinks Laois "set up the bus" last time they played.
Joe Brolly spent most of the first game sniggering as he knew his comments were only going to rise people.
Anyone out there still against Sky Sports coverage?
Even if it means that RTE freshen up their panels a bit I'm all for it !

I was on the net here, the RTE website said they were showing Waterford and Cork replay I think, turns out it's Dublin v Laois.

They're getting through on goal, it's just a matter of getting it past the lad in goals!

machiavellianme

Dublin at -5 is evens according to paddy power. I hope it'll be tighter than that.

They always miss a good few goal chances but still end up scoring goals as well 'cos they make so many chances. Laois might try to set up the bus now as Pat says.

They are showing both!

Makes a change from the ridiculous 40 to 1 on to win.

Dirty Dingus McGee

this match reminds me of the Galway Kerry game from 08.The underdog keeping with the red hots favourites which are under performing.The last thing Laois need to do in this game is to get a goal early in the second half as it will wake Dublin up.Keep chipping away with points.

Nib

This O'Gara lad thinks he's playing rugby.

Da Shins Kelly

Keeper coming halfway put the field.

machiavellianme

Is brody a keeper or a left full back?

Almost in for a try:)

Da Shins Kelly

Can see Dublin getting their sh*t together now.

DDC1990

Dublin to win by 10+

Dubs drop the man back, as usual for their 2nd half, and attack from deep with speed.

Laois will struggle to score 2/3 points in this half i'd say.

Slattsy

Dublin move into 2nd gear.

Da Shins Kelly

Think Dublin are that little bit quicker.

If they did, at least there would be no clash of colours.

Very surprised actually that one team weren't supposed to change

Sin é you'd have to say. Very nicely worked goal.

iDave

That is that

Slattsy

Goes very quiet in threads like these once Dublin start winning :rolleyes:

Wonder why

Pretty sure we don't have an away kit.

Boom__Boom

The fact that Laois have offered very little in the way of a goal threat (bar the one chance Cooper intercepted) was always likely to be a massive burden to overcome.

Really hard to see a side beating Dublin unless they get goals.

Da Shins Kelly

Goals or at least accurate point taking is crucial and Laois are a bit lacking in both.

Neeson

Easy Leinster title. No bother
Laois rotting away.

machiavellianme

Terrible mistake

Da Shins Kelly

Absolutely brutal stuff there from Laois.

Boom__Boom

Nightmare stuff there.

Da Shins Kelly

Bit unnecessary from Cooper there.

machiavellianme

Wretched tackle.

machiavellianme

Lots of needless sly tackles in the last few minutes

Slattsy

Class act Munnelly.

Boom__Boom

If refs keep giving yellows for stupidity like that, it will never stop.

Give them both reds and you wouldn't be long seeing maggotting like that disappear.

fta93

hope we're as consistent in highlighting Begley's needless tackle.
