I agree POH, Coolderry basically have a mini county final now against Shinrone, whom they could beat, and will expect to beat Clareen (no disrespect to them) Ballinamere I think may have the forward power to edge Belmont..it will be interesting indeed.

Coolderry appear to be in abit of bother with two defeats on the trot (no disrespect to Belmont or Ballinamere) alot saying they are finished (again) but we heard that before and they almost won a county final last year, two defeats in a row though they have their work cut out now for sure..

well said and clarified and just to note many intercounty players in all counties have jobs such as teachers or other good enough jobs, Offaly are no different from what I see in both hurling and football, the odd one here and there will be a tradesman or whathave you but if they have talent they us...

What you are forgetting is the those players you mentioned from mayo kerry etc are going into incredible strong teams and are very very good players. David Clifford will win a lot of all irelands. Offaly young lad going into an average team , very hard to get going and confidence can go very quickl...

as mentioned previously, if Oisin Mullen and Patrick Conroy (Mayo) and David Clifford were playing with Offaly all would be making the inter county debuts now or even later..I hear what your saying but if talent is that good, as we are led to believe it is, the step up much quicker in other counties...

cannot accept this "minding" players if they were U20 last year, and not eligible this year, then senior it is, its not as if we are playing Dublin/Kerry/Mayo in the league week in week out, if they cannot be got up and running against Division 2 (and now division 3 teams) then I dont know...

not directly the same issue but sort of related when Junior hurling was for the "best/worst of the rest" and then clubs start playing underage/way over age better players p*ssed off alot of the players not good enough for Senior or intermediate or senior B etc..I know it is down to winning...

Offaly employed a football mindset when them man was sent off as in "lets hold what we have" ..a ferocious approach, all very well say tag on a few more points but we only scored 8 in the second half in all, and majority of them came early enough in the 2nd half..no doubt we left it behind...

never a lover of seeing young players playing up a grade (when you have eligible players of age sitting on the bench) but I suppose it always happens in the GAA..a bit harsh throwing out an under age team I think...

Well its official John Maughan is gone now..so where do we turn next do we do a Laois and Westmeath over the years and have a sort of "hybrid" model of who was with John Maughan (Tomas O'Se) and maybe someone then sort of working with him..not that I think that these things are great to be...

write off Coolderry at your peril as they say, they got good momentum towards end of last years championship and probably played their best game in the county final which they will claim they were so unfortunate to loose. First game out against Belmont on Sunday was surprising to loose but not a mas...

only getting on here now, Rynaghs beat Birr by 11, (couldnt make any of tonights games) Eoghan Cahill scored 1-11 of Birrs 2-11 and Rynaghs had 10 different scorers in their 1-25 total. Clodiagh Gaels almost shocked KK by sounds of it, and led hansomely at one stage only to lose by a point, a tough ...

Shaking his head doesn’t mean he made the right decision, it further embeds how poor of a decision it was that he seen it and didn’t award the free. maybe the worst decision was the No 6 jumping up on the Tipp subs back seconds later Shaking the head might not mean its right decision but it is an i...

I’m not sure if you read the posts above but the offence is not being in the square when the ball is struck, it’s being in the square before the ball arrives which is clearly the case. The ball isn’t even in shot yet here but there are 2 Tipp players in the square..58F2A8FC-088B-4E3C-BC9B-4A9FCCE18...

and that is the crux of it..if its anyway marginal, you can be lucky to get them, or unlucky to be awarded against you..unfortunately the ship has sailed as regards Sunday..
