Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
Timing may have something to do with the counties being out in football that day to ? Offaly and tipp be playing tailteann that Saturday and cork footballers must be also out to. I'm not sure just a thought. Aren’t Offaly footballers out of the running in the Tailteann Cup? Yeah we are. But still h...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
Unbelievable stuff once again but we’ve come to expect nothing less from this bunch of players. We were far from our best and looked in trouble after twenty minutes but Rigney’s goal swung the momentum and we hit 1-4 on the spin. Wobbled a little bit after halftime but we always looked comfortable f...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
If we are to lift the *checks notes Séan Robbins Cup later tonight we need to address the post half-time lull. This has happened in the Dublin, Galway and KK games where we’ve had strong first halves but thrown it all away in the third quarter and then had to go and win the game again. I’m not sure ...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
There’ll be more than 7k from Offaly.private joker wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2024 9:38 pm Dublin won't bring anymore the 1000 max. Maybe 7k from offaly. And there probably be two turnstiles open......
We sold out Carlow last year on our own with a capacity of 11k, Portlaoise is a lot closer.

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
Stand was around 60% full looking over from the terrace, certainly last 2 sections to the left were fairly empty and there were a lot of empty seats (stand holds 7k), terrace seemed well filled so should be the same around 10k to fill it so 4000 on one side and 5000 on the other would give in aroun...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
No, it was just under 5,000 paid in. It's harder to tell with U-16s so there was an element of guesswork about the 8,000 number, I understand. Do you mean there was only 8000 in total at the KK game last week - 5000 adults and 3000 u16’s????? I’d say in the region of 12-14000 all in last week. Both...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Sacking him is probably not the answer either there's no guarantee that the next man to take charge will be any better At the end of the day declan kelly isn't the one kicking the ball he picks his team and its the team most would say is the strongest I don't know where we are getting this devine r...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
i feel we have been getting rid of managers too fast over the last 20 years since paul o kelly really. are we too expectant of mangers? you cant be blaming managers for player non performance. our u20s dont seem to be progressing as we had hoped for .a lot due to injury and many due to physicality....

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
Think all ireland champions will come from munster again. Seem to be physically bigger and well able to hurl Tipp will be favourites to beat Cork, they weren’t overly big in the 2022 minor final so in a way I’m hoping it’s them and not Cork. Either way, if we do our job next Wednesday then we’re ei...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
There is absolutely no team selection dilemma for Johnny Kelly. There shouldn’t be but I’d imagine Kelly will want to play them as his job is gone if they lose. Which if comes to pass shows Johnny Kelly is more concerned about his own managerial career than the development of Offaly hurling. All U2...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
Unbelievable stuff. This team tends to come out like a tonic and take a lead into halftime, sleep walk for the first few minutes of the second half and allow their opponents back in and then wake up and go win the game but not before a nail biting finish. Has happened in the Dublin and Galway games ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
I know that in my younger years I would have been baying for blood after a result like this, and there's still something deep down within me that's telling me that you can do all the nuanced analysis that you like, but you can't lose to London by 14 points and think that things are okay, clearly th...
