just thinking of stats and without checking but I think Rynaghs and Belmont returned their lowest scores of the campaign yesterday...goes to show what can happen on any given day.. To be fair, that low scoring was entirely about weather. It was the same for both teams and all that, but the fact tha...

Bitterly disappointed to see Belmont lose out yesterday, I really thought they'd win it coming into the game but in the end, some incredible saves from Conor Clancy made the difference. His penalty save in particular was truly incredible, and it would have been hard to see Rynagh's coming back to wi...

Lone Shark it seems I was right about the committee they will contest positions... Michael Duignan going for chairman which is great Yep, I'm delighted to hear it. When I talked to Dervill Dolan he didn't give any indication that this group planned to run candidates, so I had to take that on faith,...

We have always wanted change at the top table specially of Tommy Byrnes seat. Some here said it's not good to look for change unless suitable candidates are going to challenge we now have them and ye are backing them cowboys....madness! Where have you seen that these people intend to contest key po...

But they did have a meeting and they did invite a wide circle of people . Did they though? I'm not trying to be smart or anything, but there doesn't seem to have been any method or process to who was deemed worthy to invite to this meeting, or even what information they're willing to share to the g...

I hope ye don't mind, but I've moved the posts from the other topic into this one, because this is the specific topic to discuss this issue.

That is totally untrue. It is a working group looking out for the best of Offaly GAA. I think they went the best way about it and kept it in the public eye so it cant behind described as something that was done in a manner that wasnt been honest and open. I am sure Stephen Darbys main reason for ge...

I'm uneasy with this on a few levels. I have a lot of respect for some of the people named there, and if they presented themselves for election at convention, I would be inclined to support them and want to see them succeed. However regardless of anyone's views of the current management committee, i...

(1) - Don't misunderstand me - I'm not saying that these Birr lads are poor players, at all. As you say, it's a superb half back line and one that would be at home in any company. Neither am I saying for a minute that Mullins is a weak link, he absolutely isn't. In a county with a disproportionate n...

Just to pick up on your comment Lone Shark on alot of the Birr players coming to the latter stage of there careers. Not taking into account Breeder Mullins as hes a goalie who I might add has been at a different level this year in goals. (Without doubt the best goalie in the county I think alot of ...

I don't know where to start with all that to be honest. In a nutshell... (1) This isn't "defending OCP" - as I said, the ideal would be a double header in Birr. But sporting fairness would decree that since SBP is a club ground, it's not reasonable to expect another club to play the home club in a k...

Logic would dictate that the two quarter finals would be in Birr absolutely, and I don't know if it is the case or not that Shinrone were given the choice of playing at their opponents' home field or going to Tullamore, but if they were, I'd suggest they took the right option. Birr have a lot more h...

By all accounts Michael Fennelly will be at a SHC game today. Where do we expect him to rock up to? Rath for Kinnitty v Coolderry would be my guess as it’s the game with the most riding on it providing Kilcormac / Killoughey justify their heavy favouritism. He was in Clareen on Sunday along with To...

I'd agree that four qualifiers out of eight should be enough. Bottom teams in each group into a relegation final and third place done for the year would incentivise finishing as high up the table as possible, and to me that would be the way to go all right. That would still will be an issue for thi...

Lone shark i think the problem is that you can be knocked out by a team you havent played. If tullamore played shamrocks and were beaten then fair enough. I was at Shamrocks game and the biggest roar of the day was when word came through that Clara scored a goal. Suppose Tullamore won that game and...
