Re: Offaly Senior Footballers Championship Thread

It was evident to evryone in the stand there was unrest in the camp .Brian Gavin was stating the obvious , Nigel Dunne was furious leaving the field and didnt hold back when subbed . He had a shakey start but do you take off your free faker & top scorer after 20 minutes ? The line looked lost &a...

Re: Leinster SFC Round 1 vs Longford

I would imagine there will be a change or two before we throw in tomorrow. One would presumeJohnny Malloney will come out the field and possibly swap with P cunnigham to let him roam around the pitch. It will be intresting to see who leads the front line with Mcnamee , wheather it is B allen or some...

Re: Leinster SFC Round 1 vs Longford

Laughable whats coming out of the Longford camp the days prior to a first round , looks like the managment is trying to create its an us against the world mentality, not sure its going to have the desired effect . If you are having trouble is reporting it to the national media going to help things??...

Re: 2016 National League Div 3

Well put BNMM sums up exactly how i feel. After a great start it was dissappinting to go in at the break by the minimum of margins . The goal was soft however they could of had one a couple of minutes before this when a rocket of a shot came back off the frame of the goal. The black card rule frustr...

Re: Offaly vs. Westmeath 27/03/2016 Mullingar - build up top

Really looking foward to Sunday . If we get a result not alone would we have we one leg in the door for promotion but we would be almost certainly booting Westmeath to division 4 for next year. Alot at steak in front of a big crowd id imagine. It would hurt the lakemen to the bone to let this happen...

Re: 2016 National League Div 3

Great win on Sunday ,ecspecially after Mcnamee got harshly sent off (neither tackles were too wreckless).If we found ourselfes on level terms in a tight game a couple of years ago or even last year and our main man was to get the line, im not sure if we would have kicked on for the win. We found out...

Re: 2016 National League Div 3

So were back on the horse this weekend as we welcome Sligo to Tullamore. Both teams coming in with a fifty percent record will view this as a must win game if either of them have any intentions of promotion, a win would also go along way in ensuring safety in a group that you could very easily find ...

Re: 2016 National League Div 3

Was a poor game to watch , kildare hands down were the better team .Niall kelly ran riot in the first 15 -20mins and we were 5 down before we got moving at all . We were struggling big time around the middle sector of the field and as a result most of our fowards had drifted out to try get possesion...

Re: 2016 National League Div 3

I felt that we had the beatens of these guys in the qualifiers last year and it was a lack of belief / experience more than anything else that day that prevented us kicking on for the win . This will count for very little Sunday but it would discouraging for us to go to Newbridge and be brought to t...

Re: New Minor & Senior Hurling Management

Reverse the truck for a minute. Has the committee to find the manager even been set up yet? The first round of speculation will always see a few outsiders see what way the wind is blowing. I hope this is only a rumour , absolutely no disrespect to the man he was a super goalie and by the sounds of ...

Re: U21 LHS Offaly v Wexford, O'Connor Park, 7.30pm

Wexford 4-17 Kilkenny 1-09 Was watching this game last night and I felt more proud of the performance Offaly put in a couple of weeks ago in Tullamore. Offaly looked well more equipped than Kilkenny were to beat Wexford ,I don't like the theory we only lost by 7 and Kilkenny lost by 17 we would beat...

He must be must be given the guys a chance to redeem themselves after Laois is the only thing I can conclude from this .
