Re: 2018 NHL

Fitzgibbon teams are under massive pressure to win. They do not care where you are from as long as you are good enough . I couldn't agree more. A lot of nonsense being spouted here about Offaly players being discriminated against. I see it a different way. Because of our low standard now, our bette...

Re: Club Managements 2018

Late in the day not to have management teams in place for Raheen, Rynaghs, Walsh Island and Brigids The Rynaghs football job is a bit of a poisoned chalice, unfortunately, as one of the Rynaghs lads on this said, it’s a dual club in name only. There was talks of them regrading, thank God that’s not...

Re: Football Draw

It's pure pig headedness from the football counties who refuse to accept reality. No one has an issue with a tiered hurling championship as it makes perfect sense. Nearly all hurling teams have something to play for every year.

On a side issue, can we bring the Dubs to birr if we are playing them!

Re: Numbers

Why does Seán Ryan play with Birr? He's in the Crinkle area, is he not? Or is it a parish thing. My opinion on the parish issue is whichever club's catchment area you're in, you should play with that club. Brings more competitiveness when every club has every player available to them. No room for e...

Re: Offaly vs. Waterford 2017 Hurling Qualifier

According to any member of the Offaly senior panel that I have spoken to, Eamon Kelly was held in the highest regard. He introduced the hurlers to GPS tracking and had a very professional setup with him. However the manner of his departure (regardless of who you believe), and where he subsequently ...

Re: Hurling development squads [Split from Walsh Cup]

Was down home for club training last night and got a full report on the game mind you all 2nd hand info so make what you want of it. By all accounts the team was a mish mash of some of this years minor panel, some 17s and some 16s. A lot of lads exam tied so cant be part of this set up, injuries di...

Re: National Hurling League 2017

Are ye mad. There are only five group games. Football gets seven. The system guarantees everyone at least six, but still less than what football teams get. The games to training ratio is already brutal. Knock out the quarter and semi finals and it will be worse. Not too mention the fact that there ...

Re: National Hurling League 2017

:D It hardly takes a genius to point out that we are where we are, Offaly hurling has been on a massive spiral downwards since we took a massive beating in the All Ireland final to Kilkenny back in 2000, in the time since, we've never once appointed a high profile manager who could come in and bring...

Re: B championship

I couldn't agree more with what ditch hurler has said. It should run as one group, seven games. Top 4 semi-finals based on finishing position. Bottom two relegation. There should be plenty of competitive games, with something to play for right to the end of the group, be it seeding position, qualify...

Re: Offaly Club Hurling C'ship 2016

They play junior for the same reason the Mayo and Roscommon champions play intermediate. The standard is not good enough. Look at the beating lusmagh took last year from the kilkenny junior champions. If we had the same structure as football then we could let them off to play intermediate, sending o...
