Re: Offaly Hurlers catch a break?
very easy solution to it and agree that the stronger counties are looking after themselves, how about two groups of seven for div 1a and 1b. that way Tipp Cork KK, waterford, dublin galway and Limerick play in 1A while Wexford, Clare Offaly laois, Antrim westmeath and carlow play in 1B. 8/9 teams th...

Re: Tullamore in a little bit of bother?
heard that Tullamore are in serious bother alright, with only 8 or ten turning up for training and some of them are former junior players who will end up playing senior this year having lost up to 15 seniors from them successful teams of a few years ago. its a sad state of affairs fo a club that wer...

Re: new football manager
i think that when Cribbin does come to a rational decision, he will realise that it is time to move on. He has had his time. No major progress has been made really with OY still in the same place as when he took charge unlike pat roe who brought them from div 1 to div 4 in 2 years. he took over a te...

Re: Offaly u21 Hurling
there is bias against clubs from both sides of the county depending on the person that takes charge of the team. An example I could give was the under 21s last year. Coolderry won the county championship yet didnt have anyone on the team? Tell me what other county in Ireland has this ever happened ...

Re: Offaly u21 Hurling
No chip on any shoulder here, just an honest thought that reflects what most knowledgable people think. Tell me what is wrong about anything i have said.... Yes Waters may have played v KK but was sub v westmeath in the first round and was only picked after because Damien Fox was a selector and The ...

Re: Offaly u21 Hurling
Agree GDFTP. The horror stories i hear about their training regime is absolutely pathetic. The senior players had no contact with this panel until after they were beaten by the dubs in senior. they were ran around the place with no hurling being done like a bad junior football team till a few weeks ...

Re: Offaly V Monaghan, SFC qualifier, 25/6/2011
A badly needed win for the offaly boys and some pride has been restored at last. delighted to hear the reports as i didnt go to the game. sometimes it takes just a change in attitude to win a game and Duignans comments obviously stirred up some motivation amongst these players. Remember, there are s...

Re: The bigger picture (Hurling and football)
While i agree that a director of hurling is enthusiastic and getting some extra coaches into the clubs, i am not sure if this is the answer at all. Firstly a lot of former players make great coaches but an awful lot of them dont either. How good are these fellas as coaches. Will they make a signific...

Re: The bigger picture (Hurling and football)
Maybe I am wrong, but i hope this is a watershed weekend for the county board. The footballers trounced and the hurlers were well beaten by a Dublin team pulling up and were easily more than 5 points a better team than OY. We can talk about pride in your jersey and all that but at the end of the day...

Re: Cribben out, Darby in?
I am not sure if cribben walking at this point is necessarily the best thing. they have been working together all year and no matter what happens, he will be gone after the qualifiers, probably the 1st round if yesterday is anything to go by. for him to just walk away now is a cop out on his part an...

The bigger picture (Hurling and football)
in relation to development of players etc as related to by other posters, i think that there are a lot of issues involved. Some have remarked that we will only get 3/4 per minor team anyway to graduate from senior level and that we are doing ok in this regard given the size of the county. I think th...
