Re: Offaly senior football in general
that was a full monaghan team we played and that draw secured their status in the top flight. it was a big game both teams needed to win with a fair size crowd in attendance in tullamore. it was also a full strength cork team too at the time, maybe not what started the championship that year but bil...

Re: Offaly senior football in general
Now the managers is a different story. A manager has a tough enough job looking after the players in his care, he can't be held responsible for the 70 - 100 footballers bubbling under each year. That's not to say that managers can't cause problems in other ways or set back the guys they have, but i...

Re: Offaly senior football in general
I feel that (and this is my personal opinion) that the current Offaly senior team is the strongest team that the county has fielded in the past 15 years if not more. THe fantastic blend of youth and enthusiasm along with mature and experienced players is going to prove fruitful this season.[ edende...

Offaly senior football in general
just reading the thread on the senior hurlers 2011, it also strikes a chord with the footballers. for the past few years the whole thing has been a shambles in general the way it has been managed and the county board needs to seriously look at itself. also the senior and under 21 managers need also ...

Re: SHC Final

Why dont the look at the video evidence and see Keane and Dunican wrestling one another to the ground, id callthat fighting in any senset. Also hey might see the...

Re: SHC Final
wasnt at the semi but by all accounts, james keane was harshly sent off and the appeal went to the county board. the appeal apparently was based on video evidence of what actally happened regrding keane and dunican, not on any heresay. therefore the county board had no option but to disregard the re...

County senior football championship
ok, co senior teams are out, so who are going to be the big players in the local club senior championships. in the football it will be hard to see past rhode given that they didnt win it last year and will have extra motivation because of this. Clara are probably the closest to them on their own. i ...

Re: Offaly Will play Longford in Minor Final

Re: Offaly vs Waterford All-Ireland SFC Qualifier Rd. 2 10/7/10
need to learn lessons from the last day. both corner backs too slow for inter county football as is richie dalton.Niall Darby is not a wing back and should not be picked there. brian connor is not a centre forward and ken casey is too yellow for county football. Paul McConway is lacking a turn of pa...

Re: Offaly vs Waterford All-Ireland SFC Qualifier Rd. 2 10/7/10
waterford to win lads, hope i am wrong but from what i seen against clare we havent a prayer. hate to say it. waterford are no mugs and i think Offalys team is set up totally wrong with absolutely no fluidity to their play. i dont think we realise just how bad we are and are torn between loyalty and...
