Best players in the county still not involved, fair play to the lads who committed,
Who are the best players that are not involved?

3 points up in the 2nd half, looking comfortable and then bang 15 men behind the ball inviting Kildare onto us.

Defensive tactics don’t win championships.

Offaly should have won that game. Simple.
100%. Absolutely gutted at losing that game.

Re: U20 "22

O connor Park next Thursday at 6.30. Should bring a nice crowd. Offaly would of benefitted more from a tough training session than tonight's cakewalk. Some great passages of play and very clinical. Onwards and upwards. First half was unreal albeit Carlow put up no threat. Great pace in the side aga...

Re: Kids dropped from development squad

Fair and honest post Jimbo. My tuppence is slight shorter and as said, I’d agree in principle with the post above, albeit I do have sympathy for DK here. Last year he gave us the lift of a lifetime- one we never thought we’d see again so I’d ask not to jump on his back too much now. We’ve all made d...

Re: National Foothall league Div 2 predictions

Niall McNamee’s championship debut for Offaly came on May 25th 2003 vs Laois in Portlaoise. To the best of my knowledge He started the game even though not named on the original 15. (A rare enough occurrence in those days). Correct. Vinny Claffey was named to start but it was actually a management ...

Re: 50 years ago, how 1971's breakthrough became 1972's dominance

And there doesn’t seem to be any hold up on the club championship with it being played 2 weeks before championship games.

Re: National Foothall league Div 2 predictions

Maybe Kildare are very very good. But I fear not having had Development Squads for two years is going to hamper Offaly for a few years. Offaly need them more than anyone. Nobody's fault, it's the pandemic. Tough day for the Offaly minors today v Kildare. Signs were ominous after 5 minutes when we s...

National Foothall league Div 2 predictions

Tough day for the Offaly minors today v Kildare. Signs were ominous after 5 minutes when we struggled to get out of our own half despite playing with a very strong breeze. Still, Kildare were a far superior physical side to us and we were always going to be up against it. Plenty of footballers too. ...

Re: National Foothall league Div 2 predictions

I think Cork will beat Down on Sunday………..
wouldn’t rule out Meath taking something out of Clare game
Derry/Galway is hard to call but just to call it one way, I’m going for a one point Derry win.
Unfortunately, I think we’ll do well to be within 4 points of the rossies ☹️☹️
