Re: SFC Qualifier Draw - Offaly vs Tyrone

Re: offaly 2013

i think everyone who really wants to play for offaly inside or outside should be considered.we havnt that many players to choose from an if someone playing for a club outside offaly and he will committ then he should be given a trial. heard there were open trials a while ago ,wonder how many went an...

Re: 2013 Leinster Championship Draws

delighted with the draw in football,offaly stayed with kildare for 25 minutes this year with a poor prepared team ,so hoping our new man can get committed players and bring them to the level of fittness required then we should have a chance.if not it will show how the team is progressing.as for the ...

Re: Intermediate Football Championship

that was a great result for raheen,would not have expected that.heard they played realy well with a young reynolds and crombie were on firel.bracknagh beat cappinciur as well, just shows topping the group says nothing as the to top teams are now gone.bridgets will still be odds on.

Re: What lessons can Offaly learn from Donegal?

These award ceremonies that are held every year to present the players of the years etc? Do those cost money or are they fund raisers? Also the celebration of past teams? Do they cost money or are they fund raising missions? Also, county boards are spending money on "physios" that are not...

Re: McDonnell in running for Offaly football job

o god not john ryan as selector he ruined a good minor team this year ,paschal would be a good selector and would get good experience if he was to take over in a few years time.good luck to mcdonnell ,he must get a few years to build a team.

Re: Coffey turns down Offaly job

thought tom would have taken the job for the three years,there must be something that went on behind the scene that made him pull out.it could have been the lenght of time it was taken ,remember offaly is a good while gone out of championship and heard that davy fitz is back training with clare two ...

Re: County Football (Potentials from junior and inter clubs)

good idea to look at inter and junior clubs. although i would not get to carried away with naming some of those players.have seen a few inter and junior matches this year and you be surprised who played well and who didnt.some of those players named only play well when there team is winning,they don...

Re: Offaly vs Tipperary - SFC Qualifier Rnd 1 30/06/2012

went down to game not very confident but hoping for a good performance. didnt get a good performance as offaly lacked drive and leadership. offaly were a well beaten team and i think tom and selectors will have to sit down and take a hard look at there players. some of these lads wont hurt themselve...

Re: Offaly Minors

just back from game, very dissapointed.offaly played ok in first half but got caught for an easy goal.could not believe the changes that were made at half time. no 9 goes to corner back,no 6 to half forward,no 10 to midfield takes off no7 after 4 minutes second half.meath were a better team but offa...
