Re: League Quarter-Final Offaly Vs Tipperary, 29 March 3pm
Heard that alright. Did they play a nice brand of hurling, or just fire everything long into the mixer?

Re: League Quarter-Final Offaly Vs Tipperary, 29 March 3pm
Didn't see the game, but I heard Colin Egan was the cornerstone to their victory, he really cemented the team together.Bord na Mona man wrote:I heard the Banagher lads got plastered the night they won.

Offaly Matters - IrishTV.ie
Stumbled across this today. A nice interview with the Iron Man himself is from 6.30 onwards, and there's a piece about Edenderry town and a game of Shinty organised by Edenderry GAA.

Re: messages of support for the Footballers
Good idea. Despite the frustrations with where we currently are, I know no one is working harder than Pat and the lads to get back up into the higher echelons of the league, and I know everyone in Offaly wants them to do well. Best of luck to them all at the weekend, I know they'll do their absolute...

Re: Offaly GAA is in Some State
I have been at a few of Paudie Butlers coaching sessions and presentations. Anyone who doubts the man should go along to some of them. In Clare he has really inspired several of their full time coaches (check out Peter Casey on twitter for a flavour) going around the schools and clubs with the main...

Re: NFL Offaly V Wicklow 1/3/15
Great win. It certainly seems as if momentum is beginning to be generated. Pat Flanagan has always performed fairly well in the League, so I'm delighted this is continuing. It's more important for this team to get back up around Division 2 than to get a few good performances in the Championship in t...

Re: All-Ireland Hurling Qualifiers Round 1 Antrim v Offaly
Well done Offaly. Nice for the lads themselves to get a bit of a reprieve from the constant negativity. Obviously a load of work to be done in the background for future years, but for this team all we can ask is that they go out and do the absolute best they can. In that sense a win in a difficult a...

Re: Offaly Under 12 Hurling Championship
How're ya doing, Kevin? The U12 championship was discontinued following 2010. In its place is run a series of games, competitions and blitzes under the 'Go Games' concept which concentrate on the participation element as opposed to the competition element of the games. If I recall correctly the clu...

Re: All-Ireland Hurling Qualifiers Round 1 Antrim v Offaly
I was listening to the draw, and it was certainly made clear that the first named team had home advantage. There was 4 pots. The Leinster Teams were in Pot A, the Munster Teams in Pot B, and the Round Robin guys (Laois and Antrim) in Pot C. Michael Duignan drew a Team from Pot C, and a Team from Pot...

Re: Respect
I don't think anyone is saying that players have no right to be criticised, but it's the nature and the topic of the criticism that's important. I have no problem saying if I think x, y or z is playing badly or if I think the County Board should be doing a, b and c. What I don't like is when people ...

Re: football championship 2014
I was under the impression that tonight's fixtures were made to allow ample time for Sid to prepare in the run up to Kilkenny. If Kilcormac are correct, then how is this even a factor? If he wasn't releasing KK players for football training then he had more than enough time with them anyway, and the...

Re: Offaly v Longford
How well can you really plan or practice how to win breaking ball in midfield? Is it not really a bit of a lottery almost by definition? So much of the knock-downs are not predictable and it comes down to luck regarding who is in the right place to get the ball. We did well for periods and unlucky ...

Re: Offaly v Kerry 12 April Thurles
In fairness re Saturday, the momentum was all with Offaly at that stage. From 7 points down they had won the intervening period by 7 points and had a free in at the time of the sending off. I think we could sense the game had turned, and it wasn't our inside line that was doing the damage. Kerry pla...
