Yes I heard it, it was stirring stuff. It really captured the emotion surrounding that unforgettable day. Will we ever see the like of it again?

Great performance from Offaly tonight. I thought they played good, intelligent football, using the ball very well. They also worked hard when they didnt have the ball and won several good turnovers - especially Scott Brady who put in some great tackles. Brady and Lonergan were excellent. A special w...

The demographic breakdown of the county has changed hugely since the 80s and 90s. Back then, small agrarian holdings were sustainable and no non-nationals competed with locals for jobs. The building boom has concentrated development in the big towns and that is where development in the future will ...

This indeed is a hugely disappointing day for Offaly hurling. The galling thing is we have better quality hurlers than Wexford but we dont have the same fighting spirit. Fair dues to Wexford for getting a win and a draw from their last two games. Offaly showed today that they can hurl fairly well wh...

I agree totally with Middleman. Tipptopper for once summed up the situation fairly (except of course his closing shot about the christy ring cup). Offaly have slipped drastically and the future does not look bright. I know we have a few players out through injury but what's very worrying is the lack...

I agree with Bazil. There has been very unfair criticism of Reynolds on this site. It's fine to criticise a player's performance in a game but when there is constant sniping at a player - even when he plays a good game - it's way over the top.

I will say only one thing about the historic and welcome rout of Fianna Fail in the General Election. They had it Cumann.

I think ye're missing the point lads! Delamere didn't actually have to be at the match to create the material in order to get a laugh. I found that particular gag quite funny. Some of his other quips might have been better kept til after the 9pm watershed.

Good analysis black spot. Niall McNamee was played totally out of position which raises questions about the Irish management's ability to get the best out of the squad. Last night confirmed my own view that that International Rules has little to offer in terms of entertainment value or quality. The ...

I would agree with BNM man. Offaly should take great belief from that Down performance today. We were quite unlucky to lose to them and look at what they did to Kerry today. It should encourage Offaly to put in a big effort next year and know that with hard work and a bit more self belief they can g...

I think the last thing we should do is get rid of Tom Cribbin. Why get rid of the manager when the team is showing great signs of improvement, when young players with huge potential are being successfully integrated into the team and when the guts of a settled panel has been achieved? What struck me...

I dont relish criticising management but I have to say last Sunday's team selection and tactics have cast a serious doubt over Joe Dooley's credentials for being retained as Offaly manager. What is needed next year is someone to 1) instil belief in the players that they can beat any opposition on an...

Fierce disapppointing today. Im afraid we were beaten before the game started. We were never going to win with the way the team lined out. Why on earth was David Kenny (one of the best full backs in Ireland) played at wing back? And Rory Hanniffy centre back? Hanniffy was hugely missed at midfield a...

Hard luck to Offaly tonight. They could and should have won it. They showed great heart and played some good attacking football. Alas their finishing let them down badly. 1 goal and 10 points is never enough to win a game at this level. They young lads were brilliant especially Anton Sullivan and Br...

I agree totally with Great Day for the Parish. Maybe Egan or Verney are not fully fit. If Egan was playing corner back and Rigney wing back with Hanniffy and Murphy midfield Id give us a good chance of winning. With the line up just announced I wouldn't be as hopeful. Hayden coming on as a sub at wi...
