Re: Offaly GAA is in Some State

these workshops are a P.R. exercise. how can Martin Fogarty come up and coach 30/40/50/60 coaches. there should be a sign up for these courses with a maximum 20 places for each session and then coaches present will get something out of it. The coaching officers should be present and trying to get th...

Re: Offaly GAA Media Access

Comparing somebody who writes on GAA for an Offaly paper to Veronica Guerin, Michael Lewis, Con Houlihan, Carl Bernstein is comical! My topic headings are my topic headings and behind them all is detailed explanations and new ideas and solutions to the mess that we are in regarding Offaly hurling. B...

Re: Offaly GAA Media Access

Nonsense of a post. What has gsoc got to do with asking the county chairman legitimate questions. I have never attacked anybody personally on this forum and I never will. Offaly hurling is in a complete crisis and in my opinion a half arsed attempt is been made to rectify the situation. Ultimately i...

Re: Offaly GAA Media Access

I look after my own accounts I have done for the past 15 years. I also look after accounts of friends and family. I really enjoy this and have a big interest in finance. This doesn't make me an accountant! A national journalist could have asked the questions that were asked to Padraig Boland on this...

Re: Offaly GAA Media Access

If its your opinion then that's what it is. You shouldn't tell us what the point of an interview is as it just your opinion and you don't decide what is and what isn't the point of an interview. you mentioned that you worked as a journalist, but if you have not studied journalism or sports journalis...

Re: Offaly GAA Media Access

Secondly, the point of an interview, radio or print, is to inform people as to the views, knowledge and plans of the interviewee - not to try and turn it into an argument. Asking questions for which there are no answer isn't good journalism, it's grandstanding. If Will O'Callaghan, Kevin Corrigan, ...

Re: Offaly GAA Media Access

I do think Midlands Radio do a great job reporting local sport and long may it continue. I have no problem with local media attending county board meetings I just don't think it is right that they have live feeds at these meetings. If local media are able to give their own views by some writing opin...

Offaly GAA Media Access

I find it really strange the Offaly media relationship with the county board especially. At the coaching forum with Dermot Healy the local media had live text commentary for anybody on twitter, Facebook etc. (They released videos of the presentations also) This was such an important meeting for Offa...

Re: What are they smoking in Birr?

Surely at this stage most clubs have yearly and 3 year coaching plans in place with skills targets for each age group, short term and long term plans, upskilling of coaches etc. Offaly county teams don't have a plan of any sort never mind clubs. This is right from senior hurlers to development squa...

Re: What are they smoking in Birr?

Yes teams come and go. I'm not talking about Birr Senior team. From 1990 - 2008 Birr won at least one county title every year. From 2009 - 2013 Birr have not won any county title at any level. To me that's a crisis and one or two people coaching teams won't fix that. A strategic plan with good peopl...

Re: What are they smoking in Birr?

Brian Whelehan Paul Murphy Gary Cahill Joe Erritty Declan Pilkington Oisin O'Neill Donal Franks Paddy Kirwan Barry Whelehan Johnny Pilkington All I am saying is that all the above are ex hurlers of Birr and many have managed teams outside of Birr. Many of the teams they managed were unsuccessful. My...
