Re: Kids dropped from development squad

make no mistake this was 100% to do with those lads playing soccer. Declan Kelly outlined at the start of his tenure as director of the development squads that no other code including hurling was an excuse to miss football training or matches at any age group. he even went as far as outlining that a...

Re: National Foothall league Div 2 predictions

i think management have to answer questions . what way are the lads being asked to set up. there seems to be no plan with or against the wind. surely to god there were run throughs on the training ground for the different scenarios we would face .its winter football and that never changes for the le...

Re: Semi-Finals

Ferbane got what they deserved. the sneering on video and facebook about last years junior final was terrible. kliclonfert tried hard to win that final for a lost colleague and made mistakes when they thought it was in the bag. I have never seen a club to rub a final loss into their oppositions face...

Re: Offaly GAA - in Crisis

LS, I apologise for my mis-information....in fact 2016 was a brilliant format with a knock out edge to the football championship. this year is a lifeless championship with games fixed for Sunday mornings at 11 and 12 with very few turning up to support teams. Our county is in turmoil without any lea...

Re: Footballers embarrassing

we created our own hardship this year. last year we had a club championship that didn't start till the end of july so the offaly management had a clear run with no distractions for the players. this year the clubs decided that this format needed to be changed and the offaly management lost the month...

Re: offaly team versus westmeath

absolutely clueless last sunday. is that the players fault or are they playing to the system that the management set up ? if the management are in charge and allowed these tactics playing with the wind, we are in serious trouble. if the players ignored the manager and did their own thing playing wit...

Re: Football league 3 2017

firstly , last Sunday was down to poor organisation and poor attitude. both of these issues need to be addressed immediately. there is so much wrong within our club and county set up. last year we had a system for the club championship that worked well. 1st rd started in late July which didn't inter...

Re: Club Managers 2014
