Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
Glendassaun has done a great job with his very informative preview. I'm looking forward to tomorrow evening. Hopefully we'll see O'Connor Park thronged with Offaly people. If it's a tight game, a good Offaly support can become a factor. Thousands of Offaly people willing the team on, vs a few dozen ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
I'd get all the players and management on a bus, load it up with cans, and head off somewhere for a two-day drinking session.
It might help restore team spirit and get them refocussed.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
These are the players from Dublin who were able to play senior football for Offaly due to the eligibility allowances.

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Aye, but do you have to play to your potential to beat opposition who you are so far ahead of? Londons ceiling is hardly so high that even if Offaly are only playing at their base level that the result should be like that? London margin of victory was actually a larger number than what offaly manag...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Comfortably, though the 30 point trimming to Armagh would take some topping. In that game vs Armagh, Offaly were just blown out of it. The 2008 qualifier against Down was similar to today because the players were putting management under the bus. Do ya reckon thats what it was? What are the obvious...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
'Should' and 'comfortably' are dangerous words to keep bandying about.
The reality is very often different.

Re: Offaly Minor Hurling 2024
Great win today against Leix. It seemed like Leix were held the upper hand for most of the second half before Offaly hit them with two quick goals.
They're not the most heralded group, but they're humming along nicely.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
It's unfortunate, but I believe Offaly need to start with a strongish team. The downsides of putting out an experimental team - It sends a message to Offaly players that this game will be a cakewalk and doesn't need to be taken seriously - It fires up Meath. - The game will inevitably be a closer co...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
3 out of the 4 teams that finish in 3rd place will go into Preliminary Quarter finals.
Finishing top 3 should be straightforward for Offaly, but if we're scraping through like that, it doesn't bode well for the remainder of the tournament.

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Yesterday was nothing to do with tactics. Dublin are on a different level physique wise. It was like Dublin seniors playing the Dublin minors in a challenge match. I know a lot of the Offaly lads and I know the work they put in at training and even the days they aren't training . I'm not sure how D...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Morning after the night before and it's raining. Lol We are better than the tactics used yesterday You can't fault the players attitude but there is questions over the management tactics . You could right a thesis on the game but simple fact Dublin are in a different universe .. Hopefully we will l...

Declan Kelly should get Superhans75 to do all future team talks! His motivational skills and positivity are off the scale.

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Beforehand I reckoned a 12 point loss would be a very good outcome and a 30 point loss, a very bad one. So it wasn't the worst day all things considered. Offaly were 12 behind after 65 minutes but the inevitable Dublin onslaught was coming down the tracks. And make no mistake, Dublin tried to pile o...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
Meath's poor showing is a good omen for Offaly. The Kerry game is 3 weeks away and Offaly need that time to allow injured players recover.JohnnyBoy24 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 6:26 pm Laois put up a cricket score on meath today , expect us to do the same with little fuss. Would be a good chance to get hurling into likes of Oisin Kelly etc
