Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026


Actually apologies

Offaly were dominant for a long time.

Westmeath caught up under paidí and then started to win games Vs Offaly.

I know that's a long time ago now.

The gap was not the big between the 2 , in one league game recent years in Mullingar Offaly were dominant up to half time and ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026


Hard to imagine this all came from when I made a comment about Westmeaths rise to win Leinster when it wasnt so long ago both Offaly and Westmeath were on a par with eachother



Offaly and Westmeath on par with each other? Last time we played in championship was 2022 when they beat us heavily ...

Dublin already qualified and Kilkenny must win in order to qualify.

Re: Offaly Hurling 2026


Think some are being extra hard on our lads. It was game of 2 halves - with and without the wind. We were within striking distance at HT after good 1st half. We were slow to get going in second but when we did, we were clearly better than them. Give our lads credit. We beat Wexford in Liam ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026


Westmeath winning today puts to bed the crack of small population winning nothing, offaly hurlers put to bed yesterday the crack of not been able to win with injuries,

As good as Westmeath were yesterday, them winning one game against meath absolutely does not put to bed the fact that ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026




Didn't get to go this evening but from listened to all on radio. It was very poor by all accounts

It was mentioned here in middle of league that Rory Egan is like a fish out of water as a half forward. Daire McDaid has rarely if ever played in forwards for county and ended up there in a ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026


I said it during and after the league, how posters on here thought we would beat Laois or get a good run or even win the Tailteann Cup..I dont see what logic gave that..it is now as it is..

Didnt we hammer Laois a few years ago in Leinster championship and still end up getting beaten by everyone ...

Bracken only back training a few weeks so thats a big call, great player though good to have him back.
Wouldnt be surprised if one of the forwards named on the subs start either.

Re: U20 Footballers

Kildare are always very strong at under 20, i still think this Offaly team can go on a good run when they find their best form.
In fairness to Eoin Dunne, I dont think anyone expected him to be playing senior so quickly, including him this time last year. While hes physically very strong he still ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026




We are a football county. We had rivals Meath and Cavan at home. I think that Meath game was the worst ever. Nobody cheered when Offaly scored. The paltry attendance is inexplicable. There is clearly a disconnect

Football county? How do you work that out?


Are you suggesting we are not a ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026


No doubt, the local papers in any other circumstance would be calling things out for what they are. A 10 point home defeat to Meath is not respectability, particularly when you get a few consolation scores to bring it back to that and when you have lost 7 from 7 in the league. For context ...

Re: Offaly Hurling 2026


Fierce disappointing tonight. Reality check for players and management of where we are right now in relation to top level.

10 years ago when S&C was considered integral in every single hurling county, Offaly county and clubs were miles off. In the intervening period, some clubs have adopted it ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026



Interesting question asked to me today.
Did any offaly manager ever survive after year 1 with the loss percentage of dk in first year..?
Any offaly manager ever go 3 year with the win rate dk has at the moment and survived another year?.



I would add to that point too. Not only has a manager ...
