Forget about Dublin performance and the 6 day turnaround. Kildare expected to lose and would already have been mentally readying themselves for the qualifiers. The 6 day issue affects teams who thought they in with a shout of provincial honours and then have to get over the disappointment. Very muc...

Excellent summary of the game BNM ,it was enjoyable but after half time it felt like we were never going to hang on . Its a pity we didn't manage a goal before the break it would of definitely gave us more to hang onto, the real sucker punch was the second goal , we were just about hanging in and sh...

Robbed a piece from Kildare discussion Forum : Subject: Re: Offaly v Kildare Today at 7:38 pm Ah Jesus how many times this year are people going to big up Offaly against us.. Happened at minor and under 21 already. I doubt any bookie will make it 50/50. If we can't beat Offaly on any pitch in Irelan...

A Saturday game in Waterford , hopefully a few families will pack the buckets and spades and make a weekend of it . Tipp blew Waterford off the field last week but that was of no real surprise as Tipp are all the time improving, lets not forget Tipp have recently won all Irelands at under age ,they ...

just looking at Midlands sports(excellent resource) the Offaly and Tipp game in Birr last night was played behind closed doors. Tipperary are very strict on this , I can see why managers call for this but I taught this would be beyond there control . If Offaly went to play Tipp in a challenge down t...

Will be interesting to see , I was looking forward to heading to corker this bank holiday Sunday but it wasn't to be :( . Longford have nothing to loose while there will be a minuscule amount of pressure on the experienced dubs to beat Longford comfortably if they have any plans to be in the running...

Crazy mutterings crossing the border this morning , Hard to believe Seamus Plunkett will not be on the sideline Sunday week . He has done so much for Laois hurling they improved dramatically under his command. Its Hard to know what to believe in regards to the rumours going around, it seems one of t...

Tough pill to swallow but fair play to Longford I wish them the very best in dublin. A good few blaming pat for getting carried away but I don't agree he was speaking out for the greater good of the players and few could argue including the dublin support it would be good to see them out of croke pa...

Longford are quiet good and masterminding serious ambushes . In 2006 they should have beaten the Dubs down in Pearse park , The same year they went down to Killarney and gave Kerry the scare of there lives only for the brilliance of Eoin Brosnan scoring a hatrick of goals that game could of had a ve...

Offaly's biggest game under Pat Flanagan to date, No question it would be a major blow for the development of this bunch if we don't progress on Sunday , I have a feeling it aint going to be pretty ,nothing short of a dogfight Sunday with so much at stake. Head to head there wont be much between us ...

Hard to believe this has happened in this day and age where we loose home advantage for a first round of a championship because we haven't the facilities to hold big games under lights :oops: lets just hope its resolved and it wont happen again . We have managed to turn over Kildare in recent years ...

Next stop is Aughrim for the Offaly footballers . After last summers performance down there I would hope some of our players are still hurting from that performance and we can grind out another result . Wicklow haven't been going wonderfully well under new manager Johnny Magee , they lost to Waterfo...

Good to get the points , London in Ruislip is always a potential banana skin so good to get over the line. London still have to welcome Longford and Waterford to Ruislip , in my opinion these two counties are our biggest threats to promotion , so it would be great if london could steal points from o...

Great to see Offaly put in a decent performance last night, the most important thing you can ask for at this time of year . Although it was an experimental Dublin team with the exception of Ogara , Rock and Fitzimons most of these fringe players would fancy there chances of a championship start if t...

The draws are usually held the first or second week in February and the leagues usually start at the end of February /early March . 8 in a championship is a very small number but at least the championships will be more open . The senior B and the Intermediate championships in the football will be pa...
