haha i said before the dublin laois match hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 20/06/2016 10:54:53 1869415 Link 0 |
The match was fixed for 3.30pm with the Ireland v Belgium game not over 3.50pm.I'm sure many Laois GAA folk are soccer fans,also,and had made other plans some time ago.The Laois game was on tv as well so that didn't help.

As one of the few Laois people who were at the game I have to say there was a much bigger crowd than I expected. That is thanks to a big travelling support for Armagh who I have to say did their county proud. After coming from a low ebb same as us they travelled down in droves and really got behind the team.

You can laugh as much as you like, but this is all part of the worrying future for gaelic games. Interest in the games is dying.

Not really laois have had that small support for a number of years. The boycott thing was a smokescreen that's why I laughed as I said on here before the Dublin match That laois played Wicklow at home as part of a double header with louth v carlow and the overall attendance was only 4,500 with laois not even having the largest contingent there so it no surprise they didn't travel to nowlan park or turnout for a qualifier at home. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 20/06/2016 12:23:11 1869512 Link 0 |
Haha. That's right. Nosebleeds all over the place if we went into them. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 20/06/2016 13:00:42 1869563 Link 0 |
Sure it was beyond ludicrous to put the Laois v Armagh up against our biggest soccer match in a decade Ah_Here (Mayo) - Posts: 42 - 20/06/2016 13:09:07 1869576 Link 0 |

ah i have nothing against laois often had some great players i enjoyed watching in the past like leo turley,mick lawlor,hughie emerson to name just a few but the idea of a boycott is far fetched they werent turning out for games anyway yeah we all know the game with ourselves should have been in portlaoise every dub would have rathered that travelling wise too but i dont think you would have got much more laois regardless of venue i have bee down there for a league match few years back on a wet saturday night and must have been 5 thousand dubs and about 50 laois so its nothing new is the point hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 20/06/2016 13:36:08 1869602 Link 0 |
Hill, I'm guessing that league match was when we were both in division 1? Andy (Laois) - Posts: 371 - 20/06/2016 14:37:46 1869676 Link 0 |
yeah it was a division 1 game. i didnt mean it literally now 50 probably a handfull more haha yeah but going by the wicklow game which was in portlaoise and a game you would be favourites for the crowd hasnt changed that much for the dublin and armagh games like not dramatically anyway. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 20/06/2016 15:02:32 1869700 Link 0 |

I noticed this saturday and made enquiries. I was assured by people in the know that one was a blood sub and that laois okayed sub 7 with 4th official Malonemagic (Laois) - Posts: 751 - 20/06/2016 17:23:42 1869808 Link 0 |
I was at the match and did not see any temporary subs come on. On saying that the officials made a right mess of an earlier substitution so they may well have told Laois to go ahead. Don't really fancy another match this year though! Armaghball (Armagh) - Posts: 96 - 20/06/2016 18:52:09 1869850 Link 0 |
Blood subs do not count so they will be ok
