This article in the Offaly Indo might be of interest. Published: Friday, 27th July, 2012 1:12pm Can 'back to the future' approach bear fruit for Offaly hurling? If there is one thing it's easy to agree on, it's that something has gone horribly wrong within Offaly hurling at underage level. The seni...

agree with bnm , the sooner a man is appointed the better. the county board should pick 3 or 4 of the best names and see who is interested . the team are that far behind that training would have to start the min the club championship is over. i think stephen darby should get the job but he prob wont...

was watching the kerry v offaly game 1980 all ireland semi on tg4 the other night my god matt was just class. his free taking was just so simple put the ball down no hanging around straight over the bar, a forward that could win his own ball and take on 3 or 4 defenders and score. there will never b...

from looking at the sunday game the little they did show the lads gave it a right good go. sean ryan seemed to do well at midfield,we scored some nice long range points and if we could have got one or two of the goal chances we created we could have pulled it off.its just a pity we couldnt have got ...

sounded like we hurled well but we seemed to tire near the end. i would like to see some new thinking , maybe when club championship is over the management could pick a B team (or development squad) and let them train over the winter and get up to county standard and when league comes around we woul...

but more worrying for me is that they seem to be lacking in the football side of things. in the games we played this year we struggled to score much scores , playing in divison 4 next year isnt going to help much either. Have to agree. The basic skills are lacking so badly. They have to start by ge...

now that this year is over for the footballers, its now time that the county board cop on and get with the times. coffey did his job and fair play to him for taking over this team for a short period but we now need to get a manager in place that has a proven track record of getting the most out of p...

away to cork, it was a hard task playing cork but for them to have home advantage again is just nearly impossible to expect us to get a win down there. in my opinion these games should be played in neutral venues anyway, play it in portlaoise or thurles.

a roasting for kenny was on the cards, if anyone was at the kilkenny game in clara this was evident. that day he was caught for pace and was hand passing ball out of defence. toady again he was on cooney who would not be the fastest forward in the game and he left him for dead on two occasions. he w...

just looking at the kildare team midfield is foley and o neill , to me their not the greatest of midfielders. foley is a good full back and o neill normally plays as a forward. smith and eoin o flaherty not the tallest of men either , john doyle is the other half forward and will spend most of his t...

Offaly team: Mulhall; Sullivan, Moloney, Pender; B Darby, Brazil, Rigney; A McNamee, Dalton; Brady, Currams, Smith; Casey, Guilfoyle, Sullivan i persume guilfoyle will switch with smith because its a bit silly having guilfoyle who will run all day standing in at full forward. i hope currams can kee...

any word on the team for sunday yet lads. really looking forward to this game, if its like the game few years ago it should be a very good game. if canning starts i cant see him standing at full forward on kenny , he will be moved out the field and i imagine hayes will be put on kenny to run him lik...

raise a white flag and surrender !! niall is a huge loss , we would have had some hope if he were available but its hard to see where the scores will come from. if its wet sunday and conditions are poor it might slow kildare down but we dont have big fit players to even create a dog fight of a game....

we got the win in terrible conditions and thats what matters , its a game that should stand to us and put us in good gear for the semi final. its much better to win a game against wexford than to be winning a first round game against the likes of laois. we were tested today and we came through and g...

might be big enough crowd at it i think dublin are playing laois at 5 and the dubs normally bring a big crowd im sure whoever pays 25euro for stand ticket will watch the 2 games to get the value out of it. its 15euro for the terrace.
