Re: Toughness in Football

As an aside, didn't Kildare object to Father McManus playing for Meath in the Leinster semi final replay in 1929 and they were told they would never win another All-Ireland and they never have!

Re: Offaly Hurling Panel 2011 - Thanks

Turenne, it's all about timing, perspective and showing class in victory or defeat.

Best of luck to the panel for the season to come.

Re: Joe hits out at County Board

Someone is going to look silly before all this is over. I suspect in this dispute there will be no winners.

Re: Offaly vs Westmeath NFL 10/04/2011

This was a good game with some good scores and good football. We were close at the end and at one point down it appeared Bracken was fouled but no free was given and Westmeath kicked over their last point. However, we didn't score enough or frequently enough to win this game. Many of Westmeath's sco...

Re: 1998 Offaly v Clare

The trilogy against Clare was superb. It was the real deal. There was no topping it, even the final that year which was obviously fantastic, just didn't top the third Clare match. I remember standing on the pitch after the AI final in 98 and a thought came to my head that it would be a long long tim...

Re: General Election time

As Dunphy said to Bill once when Bill said Kevin Kilbane deserved credit for his hard work in the first half, Dunphy replied "Washing machines work hard!" Here are some things I think. I think John Foley running messed up Quinn's chances and the vote in North Offaly was split. As soon as F...

Re: Brian Cowen's legacy of failure as Taoiseach

I feel your pain but the simple fact is that every single adult in this county was at fault for what happened, everyone benefited from what happened and now we all want none of the blame. There are so many people out there who bought 2 homes, had 2 cars and 2 holidays. It was their greed and their ...

Re: 2011 General Election polling booth

I think Bracken's massive surplus will mostly transfer to Bishop Cox!
