Thank god. Itâs been forever.
Ye will be going into the championship on the back of an 8 game winning run and a national title.
Momentum is huge in Gaelic Football.
Could Laois be the team to catch the Dubs cold in Leinster ? What an occasion it would be in (insert any Leinster ground apart from OâMoore Park).
I canât see anyone stopping us in 2018, apart from dublin and only if they are lucky.
Just a pity portlaoise isnât fit to host the DubsâŚoh wait
It held them last year pal. Connolly acted like a tramp and got sent off, donât you remember?
Connolly acting the tramp ? Sure that could be any ground. He was at it again last weekend in Parnell

A significant change regarding the kick-out rule in Gaelic football will be introduced from January 1 next.
A motion proposed by the GAAâs Standing Committee on playing rules which called for restarts to travel beyond the 20-metre line was passed by a whopping 82% at todayâs Special Congress in Croke Park.
It means goalkeepers will be forced to kick longer which should make for a better spectacle. Up until now, defending players must be outside the 20-metre line when the kickout is taken but may go inside it to collect possession.
The motion passed, despite opposition from Dublin delegate Michael Seavers.
âThis would punish negative teams who want to condense the play. Weâll condense our playing areas between the 21 and 45 yard lines. This does not reward the people who want to play ball, this is helping people who canât play ball properly. Itâs saying, âletâs knock those who want to play a bit of ballâ,â he said.
Interesting.
The mark was a great success this year and really brought back the importance of a high fielder in teams.
Meh. It made little difference to the game.
But this new rule will make a lot more difference and force kickouts longer.
It was a great success, really tidied the game up in the middle of the pitch, not as many fouls on players jumping for the ball.

Loughnane is on to us lads. For now, continue with the âitâs good for hurlingâ line.
Ger Loughnane has claimed the new hurling championship structure, passed today at a special congress in Croke Park, could destroy hurling and is a decision âmade by the football wingâ of Croke Park.
What an absolute failure
Tough but true. Leen couldnât cut it in the big leagues
Heâll be on the scrapheap in a few years time after the GGA have him playing 7 games a week at every level conceivable.
Great to see. Gaelic football needs an out and out skilful superstar.
Ridiculous statement from Leen looking to look ahead of the possè
There was never a question of him leaving this year.
