Re: U20 footballers 2024

Well done to Carlow good luck in the competition. For us why did we bother playing? Is it bad management or players with an attitude were too good for this competition? If wasn't for Melia during the campaign We would have conceded some serious amounts of goals . Teams need games to improve. I thin...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

So we are in fact favourites going into this one.. I believe value to be has again here as offaly are clear favourites in my eyes given league performances and performances last year. Offaly have improved significantly as a team and individually, the new lads coming in are at a better level and we'...

Re: U20 footballers 2024

Not from the county boards perspective in regards to the seniors as its the only realistic competition offaly can win after the national league. U20 b competition is not going to be taken any way seriously, especially if those players are in college with exams etc coming up. Can understand in some ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

So from Laois being a cut above us to putting it up to the Dubs. Granted Laois were a division 4 team but one thing that stood out was how tight we got to Laois lads and our intensity in the tackle and how in their face we were, they couldn't handle it.. this will stand to us in a game against Dubli...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

I guess easily disposing of Wicklow is not for everyone 🤣. I think it's fair to say that our performances against Laois, Wicklow and Clare show what this team is capable of (yea that's right Clare), our performance in Newry and looking at other teams that will compete for the tailteann cup mean that...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Very good win. No matter the opposition its hard to win. The real measure of this team will be after the defeat to Dublin, will the players stay for the TC or will they walk and go abroad as they won't miss a game of consequence with their club this year. Kelly has said that he asked any player tha...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Hard to know what to think of that result, i don't think you will learn a hole lot from galway perspective Offaly missed out big time but another game might not be the worst of situations if they mange to get over the line of course More time for any recovery needed /sharpen up So offaly play the w...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

We'd be better off in Portlaoise. They have a dreadful home record but never too bad in Tullamore. We should be a good bit better than them. Pass me some of that good stuff you're smoking. WTF??? We should be a good bit better than them? Told ye. They are a terrible team who were damn lucky we didn...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

So it’s “just the bookies odds” when they don’t suit your narrative but when they do such as having Offaly as favourites in the Joe Mcdonagh you’re all about them… Can’t have it both ways or maybe you do back both ways :lol: If them odds are to change I’d fully expect it to be in the direction of m...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

No Anton - big loss to be honest. FB_IMG_1712912693583.jpg He's a big loss alright, a stalwart if ever there was one. Similar applies to the loss of Nigel. But apart from Cian Farrell who is out of form and may make an impact from the bench I think this is our strongest team. We've been able to blo...

Re: U20 footballers 2024

Don’t reporters single out players all the time. Questions have to be asked. They aren’t u12. No they don't single out players at this level for slating and criticism. And no they're not u-12, maybe you are? The players that took the pitch last night owe you nothing. And to tell u-20 players to han...

Re: U20 footballers 2024

Very disappointing result and performance last night . Realistically and with no offence to the players this has to be the weakest playing group we have had at u 20 level in some time . Particularly in the forward division. They worked their socks but unfortunately the talent just wasn’t there . Th...
