Big shout out for Wexfordman John Meyer after last night, I was crossing the pitch afterwards, soaking up the pitch invasion I suppose, anyway one of Cyril’s tribute acts, the one who looks like Popeye’s uncle came over to John all bluster and bullshit, anyway Meyler couldn’t have treated him with more disdain, took the handshake but then gently straightarmed him so as to avoid any more contact and made it clear that he wanted him to fuck off, those lads must be some pain in the arse to have to deal with after a match, win or lose.
They couldn’t stay after that County Board meeting. The County Board couldn’t keep them on after that meeting. He was on a two year deal, with a review yearly. He was so desperate to stay on, that he begged to be let address the County Exec. No other manager has ever addressed the Exec, its not the done thing. He’d have stayed if he could have, but it was untenable.
Relegated to Division 4 for the first time in history, with the coup de grace supplied by Offaly. Hockeyed by Kildare, and timbered by Clare. A chronic lack of discipline, and no discernible gameplan other than to pile the ball into Big Donie.
TBF, thats sounds like a typical enough year for Laois Football lately.
Anyway, he’s better off away from the mess, but he can’t claim to be blameless either.
Get your fucking house in order and then the funding will follow. Stories of players going on the piss before, during and after the games and not trying a leg doesn’t really encourage funding.
When you see the likes of Carlow busting a gut and making the changes to compete and then you see the carry on in Laois, I know where I would be directing the funding.
