Re: new football manager
Maybe they're waiting to see who wins "Celebrity Bainisteoir" and be first in with an offer? Tony Cascarino anyone?

Re: Offaly V Limerick SFCQ 09/07/2011
... and the two Hurling Qualifiers were fixed for Neutral venues, so it looks like Limerick's Hurling game was never going to be in the Gaelic Grounds anyway. :roll: At this stage, I'm assuming it will be possible to buy tickets at the ground on the day. It's a fairly big stadium, so it's unlikely t...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurling Management 2012

Re: General Election time
Since I dont live or vote in Laois-Offaly any more, feel free to disregard my opinion (as I reckon many normally do, even on Sporting matters). Anyway, having visited around Daingean a few times during the campaign, I know for a fact that the Fire-Stations Closure issue cost Liam Quinn a huge amount...

Re: General Election time
Foley running as an independent. Can't see him getting in. If he couldn't get in as a FF candidate last time out with no plausible rival for the North Offaly vote, then he has no chance now going up against Eddie Fitzpatrick and Liam Quinn, you'd have to presume. I feel almost like an imposter join...

Re: Oakley and Mullins retire
Two stalwarts who have worn the Tricolour jersey with immense pride and passion. Ger Oakley may be one of the last of a fading breed of Hurler, the tough-as-teak farmer who just played the game simply, ... gimme the ball then get outta my way. Brilliant to watch. Breeder also leaves plenty of good m...

Re: International rules
I'm a little disappointed that I wont be seeing Niall play when I go along to Croker tomorrow night. He didn't really get much of a chance last weekend to show what he is capable of. But I think Emmet Bolton got a more raw deal; I dont remember him coming on at all last week. The Irish lads must be ...

Re: McManus to soldier on
Great to hear this from Ciaran. Despite too many times when our Senior Football team may have under-performed, it was rarely/never down to this man. The committment he showed when his work had him based abroad should now be returned in his favour when he is available. There can be little doubt but t...

Lament for d'Parish
When I read about things like this, I just shake my head and wonder about what might have been for all the years since the Daingean Parish senior team broke up. I'm too far removed from there now to understand any recent events or sentiment. However since so many around this DB expected more from th...

Re: Croke Park Presentation
John Kenny cant have enjoyed being man-handled like that. There can be little doubt but the clear pitch is a much better option for the players, both winning and losing. This opens up plenty of new opportunities for good new traditions, like proper celebratory Team photos (as in pic B), laps of hono...

TT25 - give up the attempted sarcasm. You're very bad at it, and are serving to reinforce the image previously posted by others above. On second thoughts - keep it up.

Re: A hundred years ago . . .
Anyone know who wrote the rhyme below? I remember it from primary school. It seems neither town was held in very high regard. "Great bog of Allen, swallow down That odious heap call'd Philipstown, And if thy maw can swallow more Pray take - and welcome - Tullamore. According to the website of ...
