This is an utter shambles. Not one player looks like they have improved in the last 2 years. Some look worse.

Laois 4-03 Kildare 0-08. 35 mins gone.

The write of passage from prommissing underage footballer to obscurity almost complete for these bunch of Kildare u21s/u20s.

Someone bolt the door on the way out of St Conleths.

Full Time

Kildare 1-17
Laois 4-06

FROM 8 POINTS DOWN

A less than fully fit Brian McLoughlin saved the day. Half of his team mates wouldn't walk into a darkened room without him leadin the way. If Laois hadn't waited until injury time to use more than 2 subs, they would have held on.

Was at this. Interested to see if there is some hope left or whether Kildare football had definitively gone over a cliff. Saw Ronan Sweeney talking outside on his mobile on the way in, looking like a worried man.

Sometime after Laois scored their fourth goal and went 9 points up, I had resigned myself to yet another promising group of Kildare footballers slowly imploding. I was slumped in my seat, and feeling pissed off with life - and then, I honestly don't know what the hell happened.

McLoughlin came on and played brilliantly, and looked like a man amongst boys, and the rest of them seemed to rediscover a bit of passion in playing for Kildare after 40 minutes of extreme mediocrity.

When McLoughlin and Hyland knocked over the winning scores I celebrated more than was probably strictly merited - it's the first time I've seen a Kildare team win in 12 months. Like most Kildare teams of recent times (even the trophy-winning underage ones), they regularly leave a prairie of space in front of the full back line.

But honestly I'm just relieved and happy we won - particularly in the context of a sizeable and vocal Laois support clearly revelling in our misery as a county. It was very harsh on their team, who deserved something from the game, but our boys did show the kind of passion - and at times desperation - sadly lacking in the senior team recently.

Serious amount of talent underage in Kildare. Bringing it through and continuing to develop it seems to be an issue

If we ever actually got a senior manager with real tactical nous and the ability to get the best out of players, we'd be dangerous. However, I am increasingly despairing that such a man can be found.

Brilliant win absolutely delighted with the win a bit of positivity in the county after the shite yesterday. Hopefully the seniors look at that and learn something.

Bit harsh. After the last 12 months just delighted to see a Kildare team not caving in. And winning a close game. It was their first time out and against a decent Laois team.

Great comeback lads - god knows the county needed a lift after yesterday.
Hopefully we can iron out the defensive problems for the next match.

No tougher than Carlow at senior which is of course the measure of such things now and for some time to come!
