I hope BnM man that when you write your 10 year review in 2017, we have a few more recent memories to look back on. I have given up on this decade but with some promising talent coming through I hope that in three or four years euphoria can reign supreme again for the Faithful. I missed the 20 year...

Re: Offaly Minor Management A Complete Joke

OF, your post has sparked an interesting debate. In general I have found your posts have brought an extra breadth and dimension to this board. This is partly based on on your willingness to challenge conventional wisdom, write it as you think it and avoid the sanctuary of consensus. As a result you ...

Thanks BnM Man for the memories. That game certainly ranks for me as one of my favourite Offaly memories over the last 30 years. The 1982 final was certainly more historic and dramatic but 1997 just like the first Leinster Hurling final in 1980 and the All Ireland Hurling in 1998 (my other two favou...

While I agree with you LS that with some positional changes we possibly could have taken the points agaist Rocommon on Sunday, the fact is that we got relegated to Divison 4 over the course of a full league campaign. If you look back at previous posts on this board one of our biggest gripes with man...

Although I didn‘t see the two games I would like to think that the series does have a future. All the international games I have seen in the past were entertaining and certainly as, if not more, entertaining than an intercounty game where Offaly is not involved. There was lots of end to end action a...

Have to agree that the LS article is thought provoking and well written. All the other contributions have added depth and breath to the topic. The Hill in Tullamore is as integral a part of the ground as Hill 16 in Croke park. When Croke Prak was redeveloped the overriding characteristic was left in...

I suppose one issue that hasn't been raised is what the players think. I have heard that some want him to stay and others don't but then this is speculation. At the end of the day if he does stay, success next year will depend on his ability to relate to the players and motivate the team. I personal...
