Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

while a ferocious heavy defeat, as we all agree it shows in hurling terms where we are, Carlow eventually got over hauled by Dublin too in the other game..I am listening now for the last 10 years almost that "we are 4/5 years behind the Limericks and other top teams"..does that gap ever cl...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

Care to back up your claim with actual examples? my point again "let them develop first"...most other counties have them senior relatively quickly.. mmm..dont like these "challenges" as if to infer one doesnt know what one is talking about, but anyway such is this form - just a ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

Reading alot of above, I'll repeat this for God knows how many times - how come the cream of U20s in other counties (and we won an All Ireland I stress) seem to be almost automatically in Senior squad of their county the following year and are regular starting in first 15 within another year.. We ar...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

look, and I hate giving out about referees' but he had not a good game from both sides of the fence, easy for us say it here, it was a big occasion too for him I suppose. Regarding Gearoid Hegarty, Honestly I think he is a massive hurler and alot give out sometimes unfairly about him too..he does be...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

not in position to be talking to many players to be honest. Look, if he said he didnt mean it, fair enough, its not tellying me and you that that will exonerate him, hopefully the powers that be believe him. As regards his 2 hands on the hurl as the ball came in, fair enough, but when the Carlow pla...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

I suppose for the ones who don't want to face upto the sending off..Maher did deliberately pull the face guard..I have sympathy for him of course as he would not have set out in the initial interaction to do so, but it seems to be a fairly harmless thing to some but pull OR put his hand in (call it ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

The hand went into the face guard and it pulled it outwards, whether Dara intended it or not is irrelevant, it happened and ref and/or umpire seen it, a red card. The commentary of the game no one has mentioned was poor, mixing up names and counties all afternoon, despite the colours being blatantly...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

Offaly tried hard and done well to get it to extra time. Just a couple of points some people here have noted about Kiely been a huge addition etc but he was very ordinary yesterday and can go missing for large portions of games. Burkes decision to strike the ball long for carlow's winning point was...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

Look, I see alot here on about "sticking to rules" and possibly Wexford go down..while I agree I have to say it again, Leinster while the standard had dropped was opened up as some sort of arcade almost where anyone could get in and play in our province, yes, Munster with their 5 competiti...

Re: U20 hurlers 23

Just one little thing I didnt like about the U20 set up with no All Ireland semifinals due to the structure, no doubt ...
