Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Really really good display today. It was as good a championship display as we have had in a few years I think so full credit to all involved. I've been critical (fairly) in the past across earlier parts of the league. We can say Laois were poor but they topped Div 4 comfortably and were expecting t...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Regarding the Limerick game, our boys seem to be very lethargic and had lost their spark, a lot of errors in the first half and that could go wrong did , second half Offaly attack the game much better. One big mistake with our game plan, we need more width in our attack, we are bringing out forwards...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Delighted with the win against Wicklow, we need to be very careful here this was a very poor Wicklow team . Their best footballer scored 5points 2 from play, Offaly cannot read too much into this display. The Down match was a real test and Offaly could have possibly won that game if we pushed up on ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

The boys did well enough on Saturday night it was a lot closer than most people expected. However there are still some concerns as regards defending,, we gave up 4 goals and this gas been a feature in all our recent games . This has to be addressed. Cormac Egan did very well again . I would have to ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Just because a lad gives away ball few times does not mean he was sulking surely. Fair enough he wasn't his normal self but maybe there was more to it than we know. He is surely trying to not lose the game. He has been consistently one of our best players over last 3 or 4 years. Sulking is the wron...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2022

Very good result last Sunday, a win by eight points and a back to back win . Let’s hope we can keep this going. All line of the team did well and you would have to mention anton who took the fight to Wicklow on his own from the start. We still have glaring weakness of standing off our opponent and a...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2022

Disappointed with yesterday like every other Offaly supporter . Can people spare a thought for the players here . They have done everything that was asked of them what more can they do , would you seriously line out for Offaly with the criticism that is being dished out this is a supporter’s forum ....

Re: Kids dropped from development squad

You may have missunderstood my point , the rule that I can see coming is in regard to the structure of the gaa nothing to do with these particular young players being dropped . Who would have foresaw twenty years the demise of two of the three main pillars of Irish society ff and the Catholic Church...

Re: Kids dropped from development squad

The Offaly gaa setup had disgraced themselves with this latest episode of dropping young players who were already committed to the gaa to add insult to injury they dropped these young players and in the shitstorm that insued nationwide on print media and broadcast media the single-handedly show that...

Re: National Foothall league Div 2 predictions

I was very happy with Offaly display on Sunday some ver encouraging signs , despite a huge shock at the lightning start by cork Offaly gradually reeled them in . Our centre field work very hard but cork were better in the air possibly with taller and more battle hardened players. Offaly worked very ...

Re: National Foothall league Div 2 predictions

I don’t agree with throwing in the u20s for the sake of it , these young players need to physically read for senior and in my opinion some of these lad are ready to compete at senior yet . Horses for courses young carroll was three weeks over age for last year u20 all Ireland winning team and he’s d...

Re: National Foothall league Div 2 predictions

Very disappointed today we had the game won and poor game management let us down . Paddy was outstanding save our bacon a good few times over all we did well but what we’re management doing , bringing in small forwards to defend a lead against a hardy meath team, someone thought this game was in the...

Re: National Foothall league Div 2 predictions

Unfortunately things didn’t go well today . I thought Offaly worked very hard today but they were always going to be hard . We were doing ok until theyscored the goal just at halftime this was a killer blow. We were having trouble in the forward line with only two forwards scoring from frees or from...

Re: National Foothall league Div 2 predictions

Very disappointed with yesterday , in earlier matches Offaly played attacking style football but yesterday we reverted back into our shell , a gale in our backs and do everything else apart from attacking football. We setup very wide but we ran the ball up the middle. I don’t think anton is a centre...
