Re: U20 hurlers 23

In fairness to all players, when both teams agreed to move it by one day to facilitate the grad, and if this is true, I think its absolutely ridiculous that the co board couldn't agree to that. On a few other games, amazing that Clara Brosna Gaels could beat Ballinamere without young Shirley and Doy...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

Wouldn't think that is correct given he was playing with Shamrocks this year until he got injured.

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

A strong team / panel could include: 1. Ian Duffy Sean O Toole 2. Declan Hogan PJ Daly 3. Eoin Rigney Kieran Dolan if injury free 4. Lee Pearson u20 full back in final / Nigel Bracken 5. David Dempsey Ciaran Donnelly 6. Peter Cunningham John Furlong. 7. Rory Egan Cian Donohue 8. Ronan McEvoy Cathal ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

It's Declan Kellys job if he wants it I'd say. Now is his time. The elder lads of his u20 teams would be turning 25 this year. Did we not realise with previous 'names' on merry go around in other counties that such a solution is rarely the answer. Local manager who knows whats there is needed in my ...

Re: Club football championship 2023

Huge result for Bracknagh. Still unbeaten and almost certainly in a quarter final now. You'd expect Edenderry to beat Shamrocks given Shamrocks Rhode result this evening but you never know. Edenderry from what I have heard are having their own troubles recently with removal of their senior football ...

Re: Club football championship 2023

Edenderry are under performing at senior level i think. Should be more competitive than we have seen from them in last couple of years. Tullamore annihalated Clara by 20pts this evening and it wont sit well with Clara GAA supporters. It was as poor a performance I've seen from a senior club team in ...

Re: Junior A Hurling Championship 2023

To be fair, think people have wrong idea re Tullamore. Yes they have good population but there are number of caveats there. 1. Firstly, there is significant majority of people in Tullamore who have zero interest in watching GAA let alone playing it. Soccer would have strong base in the town and rugb...

Re: Junior A Hurling Championship 2023

Nothing new here really. Shamrocks seem to be in perpetual state of dissaray, with any amounts of fall ins, fall outs and infighting. Is there ever a year there isn't a story going on there. Sure its no wonder they can't keep managers. Given the size of the area, population and proximity to Tullamor...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

Just on that. Saw recent social media post from Bernard Brogan re where he was forced to share portion of money received from any corporate arrangements with panel at large through putting portion into pot to be shared with all panelists. Not sure how it is now but it was said that being involved in...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

Some of the figures on here are well over exaggerated to be fair and I was wrong on my nos earlier. The mileage is 70c per mile and not 75c per km. So taking into account any place in Dublin being approx 80 miles from Kilcormac, it would mean 80 x 2 x 0.7 = 112 euro per training session. There are a...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

Its not my view, its a fact that you cannot keep a player in or forbid a player from leaving a county squad. It's a fact because it is allowed. If you change the rules, that changes. If a fella wants to drop off county panel, fine, can still do that; but a rule should be put in place so they can no...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

It's an amateur sport, no contracts are signed. They can come and go as they please. Fair enough if that's your view but I'd have very alternative view for good reasons. If I am over a county senior team and have invested in a player over a year or two in terms of fitness development etc and they a...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

Should there be a motion for Congress restricting inter county senior panelists from going abroad to play until their county team is out of Tailteann or Sam Maguire cups. Too much expense and money spent on these lads for them to just F off to the states for a few quid when it suits them. With rate ...

Re: Club football championship 2023

There was always players going but now members of that team can command payment to play as they are in demand. I have heard of some Galway seniors and others getting huge money to go out there. Re predictions, find some surprising. My predictions as follows Senior A Champions: Tullamore Relegated: S...

Re: Club football championship 2023

Big games tonight in senior as far as I'm concerned are Clara v Durrow and Bracknagh v Shamrocks. All the other four teams will likely be in at least a quarter final. Likelihood is the losers of the games above are really under the cosh to stay up as they would likely need two results (win or draw) ...
