Kevin Kilmurray

From a distance, I am having a lot of trouble trying to figure out what Kilmurray is about or what his objectives are. He makes some very odd public statements.

Shooting

All good stuff AZ, but I can't help but think that players are being instructed to shoot at every opportunity, on the basis that the more you shoot the more you will score.

Downhearted

Hate to be so pessimistic but looking from a distance, surely we're already gone back to pre 1980 standards. Just run through the names on those 80's and 90's teams and look at whats there now. I don't mean disrespect to the fellas there now but they are not really at the races with the Coughlans, D...

Poor Dr Tim must be feeling a bit vulnerable or something. I have no problem at all in declaring myself to be a...

Jimmy Grennan

Shark, whats the story with Jimmy Grennan ?
I guess at this stage he won't be starting, but can he make any impact coming on ? Is he fit?

Stats

Interesting Stats, but is it not valid to take account of the fact that Offaly have played Kerry, Mayo and Tyrone - the AI Champs, finalists, and the best team in the country at the minute.

First post here. Hope the site goes well for you lads/lassies. As for the tackle; I suppose a lot of the problem is that the rules were framed at a time when the emphasis was much more on moving the ball.
