Re: Accountability

Thanks for that- as someone who holds their breath and says a wee prayer going to the banklink the few days before payday, I can't grasp the scale f running the finances of an entity the scale of a county board. I know you can't be reckless and do a Leeds Utd on it, but 2.1 million seems a fairly ma...

Re: Accountability

Just out of curiosity, what is the financial situation in Offaly? Is there a report that is published, or is it kept in-house? What is the balance outstanding on OCP?

Re: Football League Division 3 2014

Ros are playing with verve and confidence, with serious attacking potential, as the scoring rate the last 3 games show. As a Rossie, I'm far more looking forward to the championship this year compared to last year, but would be worried about the number of goal scoring chances we are conceding. Howev...

Re: NHL OFFaly v Laois 16 february 2014

Wasn't at the game, and I'd have more of an interest in football myself, but there are parallels between this thread and the football equivalent. It is better to light one candle than to sit around cursing the dark keeps going through my head when I read either thread. Was it last year there was a p...

Re: Football League Division 3 2014

Haven't seen the team play this year, so depending on the wireless and this forum to keep up with happenings. The last 2 days out the team seems to start brutally slowly, allow a big gap to open up so it looks like there's a massacre on the cards, yet by the finish there's not a massive deficit. By ...

Re: Leinster club hurling and football 2013

Brilliant achievement for Ballinamere; bit like KK after years of heartbreak and near misses, to win Leinster on the back of an historic county final is a dream come through. Well done to Shamrocks minor footballers as well, rounding off the year as the first Offaly team to win the Eire Og Leinster ...

Sometimes it's worrying to think that 49% of the population is stupider than the average man on the street.

Re: Offaly county team managements 2014

I think the key here as what the most recent posts seem to be alluding to, and that's the make-up of a management team. The role of the manager, for me, is all about coordination, and bringing together various strands of work such as strength and conditioning, defensive coaching, forward coaching, e...

Re: Minor Football Championship 2013

Has my eyesight failed that badly or was the Shamrocks Number 1 Jersey exactly the same as Numbers 2 to 15 ? The jersey the Shamrocks goalie was wearing was from the red/green set; the jersey for the set worn by the team was almost exactly like the Edenderry jersies, so to be honest, I don't know w...

Minor Football Championship 2013

Probably a fair reflection given results over the year. Edenderry have already won the minor league, and topped probably the toughest group as well. Should make for a good game...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurling Championship 2013

KK were full value for their win today, although Birr got it back to 3 points after Simon Whelehan's goal, they kicked on and finished very strong. A fast full-forward line could put them in bother, but the manner in which they keep the scoreboard ticking over is hugely admirable. They have the perf...
