For those of you who missed the game or had 'technical difficulties' with tv recording etc.,the full game is up on the TG4 Player on their website.
Good quality streaming too.

Just to clarify. The aforementioned Michael 'Smokey' McDonagh is indeed a Galway man. He is a Traveller,but is now settled. With this in mind it's no surprise that he manages to get to everywhich game concerning the Faithful county and more to boot. This type of instinct is embroiled within his very...

Before I can gather my thoughts and comment on the game itself,I am compelled to state my profound hatred of those obnoxious Tipp 'supporters'. For jaysis sake lads,modesty and magnanimous are obviously words that don't feature in their vocabulary. Is it really that hard to be gracious in victory,ne...

The programme for that 1976 game lists the Offaly colours as "dearg agus bán" while the Meath colours are "ór agus glas". As for the 1910 Reds, Offaly didn't wear the tricolours until 1917 . I was at that game against Meath in the mid seventies, I was just a nipper, and as far a...

Thanks for all the detailed reports. Unfortunately I had to keep track of this match via text messages, RTE match tracker on my phone and running phone commentary. At half time I feared the final result would undo the capital gained last week. Again great to see the traditional Offaly fighting spir...

Galway 3-17 Offaly 2-18. Woeful first half from an Offaly point-of-view,whereas the Galwaymen were clinical in their efforts. Being 9 points in arrears at one stage it looked as if Offaly were in for an unmerciful hammering but in fairness to them they battled back and showed their unwavering spirit...

Offaly 2-18 Clare 1-18 AET. By the sounds of things,it was a woeful first half performance and after a quick couple of scores early in the second half things seemed to go awry,only for the game to be rescued at the death. They done well for the first period of extra-time but faded in the second peri...

Rynaghs biffo good man If you know someone with a uk or irish sky box the match is viewable. If you've a uk box, maybe some pub but hardly open at 6 in the morning i don't know, the match is on channel 433, msk channel. If they've an irish card in the sky box just pull out the card and plug out the...

As an aside,it was proved once again on Sunday that those in Montrose and RTE haven't got a clue about what games to broadcast live. Anybody with a modicum of knowledge of hurling as it presently stands,would have known that Cork-Limerick was sure to be lopsided in the extreme,whereas there was som...

I've the same problem and have the joys of Midlands 103 to satiate my appetite for Offaly's sporting endeaovurs. I do know that you can change your IP address to mask over the fact that you aren't in The Republic,but I'm a bit of a luddite and am unsure as to how one goes about this. Although,I will...

well done to ye on the draw. great spirit. pity this team is v bipolar, with massive highs and shuddering lows.. Also god to see 133 replies on achieving a draw, and 49 on a 29 point beating.. hurling was finished and no one wanted to discuss it, then ye get a draw and everyone comments! are ye cov...

Some effort from the lads today. Again,I had to be content with online radio commentary from the ever unreliable Gerry Russell. ''He has the ball.No he hasn't.The ball is gone wide...oh no its over the bar'',there's no end to this mans level of uncertainty. He was even promising extra-time in the ev...

for all ye men who cant make it.. the match is being streamed by rte.. Happy Days. For the last game I was listening to Gerry Russell on delayed Radio3 coverage online,and when the game entered extra-time I receieved the result via text from home 10 minutes before it happened(well according to Gerr...

at least that gives us some hope....

Where'd ya hear that?
Have you got a source?

If true it does indeed change the complexion of the fixture.

Tis none other than Michael 'Smokey' McDonagh. Originally a Galway man I believe,but has been settled in Offaly for a good number of years now and is a naturalised Offalian. Fair play to him he never misses a match,come hail,rain or shine and whatsmore is that he wears that jersey continually even ...
