Leaving all the rights and wrongs out of the whole saga, just speaking personally it would be a shame to see Edenderry get relegated, they will always be one of the great football powerhouses in Offaly no matter what status they have. I have seen the REDS 5 times this year and ever since that ill fa...

Its certainly worth trying out Franks at half forward as well as taking the frees, possibly in the Walsh Cup after Christmas to see how he would fare before the League starts, and I would agree with LS that Brian Carroll is not trustworthy with the frees and would probably be more relaxed without th...

Club football in Offaly is no better or worse than anywhere else. I've seen some dire stuff this year in our championship but speaking to people in other counties which include Meath, Kildare,Carlow, Wicklow and Laois it seems everyone is not happy with club football in their perspective counties. R...

OFFALY'S MIDFIELD WOE.

After watching virtually every senior club as well as a few Intermediate championship matches over the last few months, im in total despair, that apart from being almost divorced, I have not seen one single midfielder in the Jim Grennan mould to partner Super at midfield for 2007. Nobody has even co...

The crap weather made conditions next to impossible and lets be honest lads once the second goal went in it was game over. The only reason Clara came back into it was because Rhode took their foot off the pedal.

A superb and accurate report P.O.T.H. I had the pleasure of meeting u at a couple of games recently and you're knowledge of our ancient game is next to none. Perhaps we'll meet up during Birr's Leinster campaign in the next eight weeks or so. All the best.

John O' Mahony is concentrating on Fine Gael politics for the forseeable future and O' Dywer has has as much chance of becoming our manager as Alex Ferguson has. My personal choice would be Liam kerins the former Limerick manager.

I think we could be set up for a big fall next year, what with ourselves going straight through to the quarter finals in Leinster through seedings, we will be fair game for a first round winner who will have a game under their belts, whereas we go in cold after the end of the league, and to be quite...

Thanks for the comments lads. The only way I will know what Mr Corrigan was playing at is by confronting him and asking him in Enniskillen next Sunday.

C/SHIP ALMOST HERE.

Just to remind everyone that our footballers are in action against the Lakes in 6 weeks time and our hurlers in 7 weeks in Portlaoise against Laois. I wonder am I in the minority of one in thinking that our footballers are in for a very short and torrid summer again, but our hurlers might just surpr...

On my way to game at 2.15 expecting to arrive at Dr Cullen park at 2.45, but on my way decided to turn on car radio to discover that the game was already on 13 minutes. Aparently the game was bought forward to 2pm from 3pm due to the GPA meeting at 5pm in Portlaoise. Now that is fine and dandy but y...

The most horrible wet and cold day I can remember in Tullamore was last year's intermediate final between Rynaghs and Walsh Island. By the end of the game I was that cold and wet I was suffering from lock jaw, but as bad as I was, a certain Loan Shark had to suffer the agony of Gracefield and Clonmo...
