Re: 2014 O'Byrne Cup
Whinge about what, whos whinging laois beating offaly during the week was no shock i sure most who follow the football weren't shocked to see laois win, Vinny Claffey said as most after last sundays win. i think if we get out of division 3 this season will be great, i think what we have really have...

Re: 2014 O'Byrne Cup
its early in the year yet, but i tell you and most in laois will tell you they have f..k all, :lol: To get back up challenging at the top level you first of all have to take baby steps and that starts with beating the teams that are immediately around us, in our case the teams in division 3 and i s...

Re: 2014 O'Byrne Cup
Ok i know people will be annoyed with the loss tonight but when you put it into context it was actually a good performance from the team, Laois are a division 2 side who finished third last year while we are just coming into division 3 football and while we tailed off near the end of the game we wer...

Re: r.i.p liam o connor.
I'd love to see a banner next year at Offaly games in O' Connor park with the immortal line "A high lobbing dropping ball in towards the goal mouth" as a mark of respect to Liam I remember reading Kings of September where Liam Described himself as just a work horse and nothing else, the pa...

Re: Offaly county team managements 2014
What benefit will it be to the county in the long run for Sid to jump straight into the senior management? Best of luck to him and whoever else comes on board. Surely there is a need to get stable management in place at minor and under 21 level and create an avenue to mould future potential native ...

Re: SFC Qualifier Draw - Offaly vs Tyrone
My bullish instinct is telling me we should tear into them and see what they're made off but i'll try and take a Lone Shark viewpoint on this and look at it logically, the bottom line is even if Tyrone are off the pace in Ulster its still way ahead of us at the moment and again i agree all we can ho...

Re: offaly minor footballers
Every lad on this forum is mad for setting up commitees and drawing up 5 year plans. You can have all the paperwork and commitees ya like but if we dont have the talent we wont succeed. Plain and simple we have a small playing base to work with. We will have the odd success but that can only be occ...

Re: offaly minor footballers
I've asked before... what facilities are there in the county for doing strength and conditioning work with both adult and underage squads?? Are there any? Where do teams currently do their strength and conditioning work? Is there a plan in place for that? Is there someone overseeing the S&C wor...

Re: Allianz FL Division 4 2013
A great first 15 mins but I knew we were not gona be able to keep the pace up for 70mins. I wouldnt be so hard on the lads , this is Mcdonnells first year and he has done more so far than anyone else in the past 5 or 6 years. We cant forget this is Mcdonnells first big job and he is learning like s...

Re: offaly minor footballers
I know this probably belongs on a thread of its own but just to comment on the U-21 side for tonight it looks like a very strong squad on paper With a few more additions to the team ( Leon Fox, Rory Mcnamee, Ciaran Cahill Eammon McCabe) there is a team that can challenge anyone in the next few years...

Re: Allianz FL Division 4 2013
I get what everyone is saying from a tactical point of view and maybe this is too simplistic a statement to make but i think that when all is said and done for me its how the players react to this setback in the coming matches We can sit here and analyze what went wrong and what went right but for m...

Re: Allianz FL Division 4 2013
Limerick 0-12 Offaly 1-8 Pure sh1te.An absoultely terrible performance from Offaly with zero positives to take from the game it was just as bad if not worse than the terribel performances of the last few years.Again our half forward line is playing too deep and this encourages teams to attack us an...

Re: Allianz FL Division 4 2013
any word on Nial McNamee fit for sundays game, they might need him again the Shannonsiders He is out for the game Sunday, quad injury. Huge loss, Limerick would be hard bet even if Niall was playing. Its a big ask for young Cunningham to play at full forward , he is one for the future but i feel wi...

Re: Club Fundraising Ideas
Oh and one more thing and i know this isn't exactly fundraising but it might be worth looking into. There's a new community tv group thats just been started up here in Athlone Might be worth looking into from a GAA perspective Covering league and championship matches or even schools matches would ra...
