Laois football manager Justin McNulty made no attempt to hide his disappointment after last Saturday’s Tailteann Cup defeat to Wicklow.

The 2002 Armagh All-Ireland SFC winner didn’t mince his words after the five-point loss in Aughrim left the O’Moore County with it all to do ahead of their final group match against neighbours Offaly.

“The scoreline probably flatters us,” he told the local media.

“They had multiple goal chances that they didn’t convert and we probably didn’t have any goal chances that I recall in the match. We were lack-lustre across the park for much of the 75-plus minutes and we got what we deserved today.

“We are all somewhat ashamed by the level of performance. It’s not good enough, it’s not good enough for Laois, it’s not good enough for us as a team, and it’s not good enough for the players as individuals.

“We have to ask ourselves serious questions and I don’t know what the answers to those questions are, but we have to ask ourselves serious questions, saying what’s going on here and is that who we are as a football team?”
