Re: Offaly Hurling team for championship v Dublin

Just to show the value of context to quotes, Keaney also said; 'It doesn't matter who we're playing. If we're playing Tipperary, Offaly or Kilkenny, it's not about them any more. We just have to perform to our potential.' Its just bit of confidence building stuff that goes on in every team. Maybe Of...

Re: Pat Spillane tips Offaly to reach LSFC.

Unless something changes miraculously, I hope to the divil that Offaly dont end up in a Leinster Final against Dublin. I have no stomach left for anihilation. A credible run in Leinster, short of the final and a few qualifier wins are needed much more than a Leinster Final anihilation to build on a ...

Re: Offaly vs Westmeath NFL 10/04/2011

You cant concede 19 scores and expect to win a football match. Its easy to criticise the fullback line and they do lack pace but yesterday they were trying to hold back a flood. WH were so dominant in the middle and half forward line the full back line were left chasin shadows. In fairness to Scott ...

Re: Tipp v Offaly nfl

The reality is that Div 3 is where this team belongs. The only teams currently in Div 2 that Offaly could live with are last years Div 3 promoted and this years Div 2 relegation candidates Sligo and Antrim, I dont know whats going on with Meath. After winning two tight games I thought a corner had b...

Re: Double header in O'Connor Park this Sunday

Jesus, €10 won't buy you 3 pints of stout. If value for money is the issue I think €20 (adult) would be good value for this double header. Kids free passes to national schools and €5 for students and oap's. Dublin footballers and hurlers play Cork and Tipp in Croke Park this weekend and the price f...

Re: Double header in O'Connor Park this Sunday

if its priced right the crowd will attend, hope the gaa dont look for 20 to see these games sunday..... 10 Euro in to see O'Byrne Cup games this year so no doubt they'll be looking for the 20 for 2 National League games if they think they can get it (especially one being a Division 1 match). They'l...

Re: Offaly senior football in general

You can probably also go back to the shenanigans with O'Kelly and Fahy when trying to trace a line to the current state of affairs.

Offaly GAA Website

After reading the previews on here of the county football semifainals I went to look at the Offaly GAA website to see what the fixture arrangements are. Jesus that website is abysmal. Its nice to have a section to reminisce about former glories but are pictures of teams that won 40 years ago really ...

Re: Name the best scores ??

Ah come on now, corner back !!!!! I was in the Hogan Stand the day Paddy Kirwan scored a famous long range free but it was nowhere near corner back, somewhere around Offalys 70 yard line I think. All of Matt Connors 2-09 against Kerry in 1980, in Hurling the most memorable score for me was a point s...

Re: Croke Park Presentation

Gerry Carroll and Johnny Mooney certainly looked like they were enjoying themselves being tossed around on lads shoulders back in 82.

But then I suppose players were real men them days.
