Just a point on one topic someone picked up on - the development squads. I don't know MD's reasoning on this, but I think he may have a point. Picking the cream of underage players at a young age and moulding them in development squads may well be very fruitful where there are large numbers of ...

The perception is that the board are set in stone, in place since Moses was a boy and all that, but a look at the present board on official website is interesting in that light. Long term - Treasurer Jimmy Hogan, there since the 1990s, Tommy Byrne there since 2002 (may have been a break since then ...

I have some sympathy for Kevin Martin, but it was the right decision, he was all out of ideas in the second half, which he spent rooted to one spot looking lost.

So now we have the usual calls to sack the county board, get them out etc. Now there's a lot of justification in wanting a clear out, but ...

There should be a mass protest organised to oust these ego seekers.Offaly interest at heart my arse.

It actually wouldn't be hard to oust most of them, if there was anyone willing to take it up. Unfortunately, even when positions come vacant under the five year rule, it's hard to fill them ...

Where did this thing of a "get rid of it" game come from? Is the suggestion here that this used to be Offaly's "style"? They played a game of moving it on fast, but with direction, not just a "get rid of it" game. I don't see why that would now be considered irrelevant?

As for defensive game not ...

If the modern game means employing two or more sweepers and simultaneously killing off forwards' chances of scoring, then hurling is on its last legs, as the game will become almost unwatchable. Yep it's a shame that we've let yet another manager go, but honestly in this case I think it would have ...

It sounds very like North Korea to me.



The big difference is the North Koreans can't vote to remove Kim Jong Un. And unlike us, they probably would if they got the chance! At least once a year there's a blow up of some sort and there's the run of posts talking about overthrowing the CB as if ...

Maybe, just maybe, one of these years some of this anger will last long enough and run deep enough to actually make changes come Convention time. But I won't hold my breath.

On the other hand Offaly's tactics this year left a bad taste in many people's mouths regardless of whether they were justified or not.

Just curious, would people feel a lot better if Galway had scored 3.24 rather than 33 points against Offaly. Look at their scorelines so far and they are ...

C'mon POTH, smart arse answers aren't going to help much are they? Be nice.

Brian Carroll could be a great manager, COULD be, we don't know, not yet at least. We can't afford to give another green manager a teeth-cutting opportunity. Besides, he's doing a good job where he is and I'd be surprised ...

I'd love to know what Kevin Ryan thinks we'd have conceded if we hadn't gone the defensive route!!

When I read the comments during the week about avoiding a slaughtering, I sincerely hoped Ryan was playing mind games, but it seems he was just being honest. What hope can a team possibly have taking ...

Push up and goals go flying in. 19 point defeat turns into a 30 point defeat.

Maybe so, but it's frustrating to see players of the calibre of Dooley and Bergin (and any of the others on their day), being closed off because we've pushed not one, but two, back to play as sweepers. We might not have ...

The game was lost in the first ten minutes of the second half. Cavan came out after the break chomping at the bit, we looked like we'd had the life sucked out of us in the dressing room. It took a bit of guts and determination at that point to keep battling on, but battle on they did and almost ...

Ah now, divine right is pushing it a bit is it not? As I said already,when we keep hearing supporters, various committees and, more importantly, players and managers, identifying it as a missing link, and many players from both inside and outside our own county say it's simply a better sod to play ...

Can't really see what can be learned by comparing attendances over the weekend really - if location was the main factor then surely there wouldn't have been a whopping €40,000 variation between gates in the years since it moved to OCP. There are several other factors - for one thing 12 o'clock ...
