Re: All-Ireland Hurling Qualifiers Round 1 Antrim v Offaly

its a big week for offaly hurling we need a decent show from the u 21 against wexford a win would be a huge plus . the seniors need to both hurl well and win up in ballycastle against antrim for themselves . i think if whelahan allows them to play there natural game picks lads in their best spot we ...

Re: Clare looking for an Investigation!

its seems to me davy is trying to provoke a responce from the clare team by implying everyone even the ref is against them . davy knows well that the score line flattered clare and clare will not defend there title with such a poor display again this year . clare lacked hunger and looked out classed...

Re: Strength And Conditioning

i agree with everything u have said about loughnane BIFFINBANNER but club hurling is still very strong in offaly much better than club football . i feel when managment and former players keep implying that all current senior hurlers are useless lads start to belive them . i not saying offaly are gre...

Re: OFFALY Hurling 2014

intresting to hear j piltington saying he and other had put forward proposals for the delevelment of offaly hurling and that the county board have completely ignored them . he also said hurling was poor at club level which does not stand up both coolderry and kk have won lenster titles in the last 3...

Re: Strength And Conditioning

lads i think loughnane is correct about strength and conditioning if he was talking about our defence or midfield but bergin and dooley have lots of power but lack real pace and to be honest look completely few up with b whelahan . the word coming from the offaly camp has been poor since janurary wh...

Re: Offaly v Kilkenny

would most people agree that ger loughnane was out of order to publicly slate j bergin and s dooley . both lads are struggling with their form at the moment. its rubbish to say the dont have the power for modern day hurling when bergin throw p murphy aside last year to score his second goal and i sa...

Re: Offaly v Kilkenny

we need to look at other counties see what they do from u 12 up and start now to develope them properly. we still are in the quallifiers so we need to scrap current game plan and look at all players maybe there are 5 or 6 club hurlers that can do a job. felt a bit sorry for b whelahan on tv last nig...

Re: Offaly v Kilkenny

good post backofthenet i think if we had to play a sweeper rory was the ideal man . i dont think a sweeper ever work in hurling. j bergin is not happy at wing forward maybe he should have gone to midfield . dooley was not happy at full forward . we could have gone with g healion at full back k brady...

Re: Offaly v Kilkenny

townman if i rember correctly b whelahan did follow dj in and he played at full back and dj scored a goal off him and lads laois and limerick were not playing kilkenny at home. limerick are munster champions and laois got to this year league quarter final . look at kilkenny subs if we think rory can...

Re: Offaly v Kilkenny

looking at the offaly team i guess s ryan p geraghty and k connolly will all play in midfield with c mahon at half forward. s ryan will try man mark r hogan. that will leave dooley and carroll inside which is a huge risk because ther extra man probably will do more than k connolly . my big worry is ...

Re: Offaly v Kilkenny

lads calm down its not fair to single out bergin or dooley NO offaly player has put a good 70 minutes in years . i agree the county board are to blame . they dont have a plan for hurling . i dont think they care it seems to me to be all about power to those guys .they pick who they want no matter wh...
