Re: What are they smoking in Birr?

I don't get this. It's the same team, same players whether it's on in Birr or Tullamore. Supporters support, die-hard supporters will travel all over the country to support the team- except to Tullamore.

Happy Christmas, and a progressive New Year!!

Happy Christmas to all posters and readers. Hope it's a safe and happy one. Thinking of all the families who lost loved ones over the course of the year. Hoping, with reasonable confidence, for steady improvements for all teams next year. Can't remember who wrote the lines "Two men looked out t...

Ah yes, you'd know the winter has landed properly- the weather is gone shitty, and the Birr v Tullamore debate is revving up!!

Re: 2015 SFC Final - Edenderry vs. Rhode 11/10/15

Two very eloquent, almost poetic, synopses there- love the classical overtones!! Afraid this will be a much more mundane affair- a very enjoyable game, with Edenderry taking the game to Rhode from the off. Edenderry barely blinked at the concession of the early goal- a sign of a team that knew what ...

Re: New Minor & Senior Hurling Management

The intensity and physicality that Galway brought was serious: don't think I've ever seen as many Tipp lads sat back on their arses time and again- with one obvious, but critical, exception. Deep down, did Tipp think that Galway had played their All Ireland performance v Cork, and given Galway's Jek...

Re: Offaly Hurling where do we go from here?

Chain reaction: Poor Administration, Poor Senior Management, Poorly coached senior team, lack of game plan, lack of tactical flexibility, players of 'club' standard not able to play 'county' standard, downward spiral, lack of belief, 'better' players not committing for whatever reason, no players yo...

Re: All-Ireland Football Qualifiers

Bar the biggest upset since Goliath said 'David who?', it should be Kildare, and this is a winnable game, as in a game that Offaly should have full belief they are capable of winning. Kildare had a disaster of a league, and the knives were very much out for Jason Ryan. The bounce effect of their rep...

Re: Laois v Offaly – Leinster Hurling Quarter Final 7th Ju

Yesterday was a knockout punch in many ways, but it has been in the post for many years. Players confidence will be on the floor, and I've no doubt but the management will be hurting also. Come out with the wrong draw in the qualifiers, and it could be a very painful end to the season. The important...

Re: Offaly vs Longford, Leinster SFC, Saturday 16/05/2015

Not impressed with this "journalism", if it could be called such- it is an article published, so therefore must pass as such, but it fits more into the category of trolling as befits a wind-up post in a forum. Hard to know what exactly it's meant to be- putting the boot in after a demorali...
