Re: NFL Div 3 predictions 2023

I am not a betting man, but Johnson and maybe one or two others mentioned above, if with a top county, would be turned into some sort of first 15 player if they had the ability we see in them, we are too quick to dispense in Offaly when a player isnt tall or physical etc. All points above taken but...

P Brady was never in for this job. 100% not true.

Re: DIV 3 NFL predictions and general chit chat.

The age we live in... Released a statement.. :roll: Good God this is embarrassing. Almost as bad as those cringy 'I've decided to retire from county football' Instagram posts that have become the norm in GAA now. Whatever happened to going quietly, such attention seeking rubbish. "Tell me I was...

Re: DIV 3 NFL predictions and general chit chat.

...was a bit surprised a Johnsons early removal, agree he needs a decent stint in most games if he is to blossom, not doing his confidence any good hauling him off early and in sucessive games....a point is better than nothing but paralysed by fear when the game was there to be gone for...

Re: Byrne v Duignan

They've started from scratch but there are actually 3 underage hurling teams in Edenderry in 2019 & you'd have to imagine that should grow to at least 4-5 next year. Someone suggested here a while back that this was done in order to get money but refused to clarify the comment. I've never heard ...

Re: Newspaper Articles and other media bits

Maybe at adult level, but if there wasn't a will to play the game by adults members of the club you can't force a club to force members to play a sport. What I was referring to was the appointment of a GPO. Which is what is needed most also in Tullamore, Birr at least to start with. Also, pretty su...

He received two yellow cards in the match with St Brigid's of Westmeath in the semi final so he won't be suspended. Had a very good game that day, a very reliable free taker.

Re: senior football final Rhode vs Tullamore 15.30 sunday 13

To borrow a phrase coined between other competing giants on a different field, the man that will ‘knock them of their perch’ began his Senior Football career in 2001, making an appearance as a fresh-faced 16 year old. . Excellent read Magpie. One potential correction, if that above reference as I s...

Sullivan last dislocated his shoulder while training for Rhode last summer but made a much quicker than anticipated return towards the latter stages of the Offaly championship as Rhode retained the Dowling Cup.

I think the Tullamore Tribune made a mistake there... True Red should spot it.

Eoin Carroll would be the only new face in that team, where has Mick Verney gone was suppose to be going well with them, and the lad from Gracefield Allen.
