Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
i feel we have been getting rid of managers too fast over the last 20 years since paul o kelly really. are we too expectant of mangers? you cant be blaming managers for player non performance. our u20s dont seem to be progressing as we had hoped for .a lot due to injury and many due to physicality....

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
From the county that brought you Hubert, Basil, Neville, Marius and Clint, all in my time watching Offaly, it's great to have him on board.faithfulfanatic wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2024 11:43 am I was thinking the exact same earlier in the week.
Ter Guinan might be the most 1980s hurler name of any modern hurler.

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
Well, that was just magical. In terms of the game itself, I don't have anything to add over and above what's been posted already (particularly yet another excellent contribution from Glendassaun), so I'll just say that I feel blessed to have been there, and to everyone involved, thank you. I do want...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
I think that barring something very strange happens from here on in, this will in no way be seen as a successful season. Offaly would have to at the very least reach a Tailteann final before that would even be discussed, and to be honest would probably have to win it for it to be an unequivocal verd...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
Greatest 1st post in the history of Uibhfhaili.com. Up there with the best of them, absolutely. I remember Silken Thomas coming storming out of the blocks too (https://www.uibhfhaili.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?p=12485#p12485) but the uibhfhaili.com underage system seems to have thrown up a potential ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
I know that, but I was referring to the Limerick contingent on the Kerry senior hurling panel, and the wider issue of non-native players being drafted into counties that are down the pecking order.

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
I know that in my younger years I would have been baying for blood after a result like this, and there's still something deep down within me that's telling me that you can do all the nuanced analysis that you like, but you can't lose to London by 14 points and think that things are okay, clearly the...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
As you go down the pecking order, this gets more and more common. James Hardiman (Kinnitty) is hurling with Roscommon this year, who have about five or six Galway club men on the panel as well, and Conor Clancy (Rynagh's) is hurling in goal for Louth. I'm sure there are more, but those come to mind....

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
Very disappointed but not surprised considering the manager with our team selection for the game tomorrow. Absolutely no need to start Cathal King, Donal Shirley and Dan Bourke with an U20 knockout game on Wednesday night. Particularly in the case of King and Bourke who have been exposed to a very ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
2pm Saturdays. Where Inter County hurling went to die. This is a bit of a tangent to the main theme of the thread, but this is absolutely an issue. It's a dreadful time for a game, and one of the "controversies" you're sure to hear about every year is the weekend where the All-Ireland hur...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
Fair dues i admire your confidence. Id say at this point that westmeath are joe mc favourites, give their arguably better performances against a similar level of opposition that we’ve faced. Westmeath will be favourites for the Joe McDonagh, and Offaly have made significant progress this year. Thos...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
I think the fact that there's no relegation mitigates the absence of another "tier two" county from our side of the draw. Barring a huge set of shock results, Offaly were always going to land in the remade Division 1B next year, so this Spring was always going to be a series of challenge g...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Honestly, going into the weekend, I still reckoned they had a promotion chance. They fecked up a good position against Clare to lose by a point (where have we heard that story before :roll: ) and then went on to win the games I expected them to win with something to spare. That left them going to Ne...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Interesting to see Hogan at 7. There might be bit of reshuffle with either Furlong or Dempsey as Hogan would be more used to playing in full back line, though regularly played at 6 for Tullamore also. I'd be stunned if Declan Hogan doesn't just go straight to full/corner back to pick up Kevin Quinn...
