As an aside a group of 8 with one team qualifying, as is the case in the Division 1 league is no way to promote a competition. A good few years ago now, I was involved with a review group for Offaly fixtures, and I presented to a county board meeting some findings that involved a few ideas. Two quo...

Lone shark or posters....what is the best Offaly 15 within the county no injuries and eveyone available to the panel I'm interested to know. You can include farrell Cunningham Brazil if you wish. I mean, I know what you're trying to say, but surely you see how irrelevant that is? Not alone that, it...

From listening on radio laz molloy was saying colm doyle was very poor? Thought pearson would have been worth a run based on recent form Maybe looking for a spot for his own club man who was taken off very early - wouldn't surprise me at all. Doyle is a good player, nothing Flash but does basics we...

I don’t agree with throwing in the u20s for the sake of it , these young players need to physically read for senior and in my opinion some of these lad are ready to compete at senior yet . Horses for courses young carroll was three weeks over age for last year u20 all Ireland winning team and he’s ...

Jaysus but there's some daft stuff on this thread about this game. When it comes to lads that are still U-20 in 2022, I take the point that U-20 is probably the place for them, and Cormac Egan in particular would be a man who is playing a crazy amount of sport and isn't yet at the level to make a di...

I was on duty elsewhere today so I haven't had a chance to see any of the highlights of the game, but I will say this - you could play well in a place like Ennis, and still not get anything from the game. Clare are a solid, consistent Division Two team for basically a decade now and while I'd certai...

Jeez lads don't be listening to me about hurling! 50-50 game with Clough and Ballyhale I said earlier in the week. Instead we got a record breaking demolition. Ballyhale played quick direct ball into their forwards knowing well they had the beating of that Clough defence in the air and physically. ...

This Saturday, 1pm start in OCP against Kildalkey, Meath senior champions. Looks like a very tough one to call on paper. Seir Kieran beat these quite well two years ago, but Clodiagh Gaels mightn't quite be at that level, while by all accounts Kildalkey have got stronger since then. Clara, Shamrocks...

Hone and away arrangements make sense when playing Laois or Westmeath. Not when travelling to Wexford. It was a financial decision at the time as we were practically broke due to the development of OCP. By far the most common neutral venues for Offaly vs Wexford championship games were Croke Park a...

Reading some of the posts on here, it's as if people are taking it as some sort of slight on the people of St. Rynagh's and Coolderry that the county final is being described as a poor game. Nobody is going to stand here and argue for the right to be abusive or insulting towards either individuals o...

You'd have to imagine David King will be in the mix. Probably was the best player on the field today as well, but it would be a fairly cruel form of torture to ask a Coolderry lad to go up and collect a man of the match award and smile for pictures with sponsors in the middle of the celebrating Ryn...

Just to pick up on Bracknaghboy's post above, if Niall McNamee is interested in togging out for Offaly in 2022, then absolutely, he should be welcomed to the panel with open arms and he would have a meaningful role to play. He's spent far too long in his career playing Division Three and Division Fo...

Absolutely zero chance of Leinster changing their fixture, it's for Offaly to decide if they want to put back the SHC "B" final a week. Right now I'd consider it unlikely that they'd do that for any club - and are they more or less likely than that to do it for Tullamore in particular? Tha...

I'm genuinely curious as to whether or not McNamee's reprieve will be a good thing for Rhode or not. Obviously every Rhode person will have to say out loud that he's a hugely positive influence on the team and on the game, yet there's no doubt that against a team with the mobility and pace of Tullam...
