We certainly aren't on those teams level at the moment but we will be with time.

And Wexford beat Kilkenny..

Some think Offaly could possibly beat Wexford and Dublin etc..very hard to see..the league will tell a lot..

It maybe our smallest defeat of the year against one of the percieved top teams, be it 15 minutes shorter than all other games we play this year (or over next 4/5 months rather with this 'sponge' system we have)

I admire your faith, beating the above teams in minor is important but so far bar Laois we do come a cropper against the others and Laois too by times..Kilkenny is a totally different animal, as Carlow found out last night be it with both teams in experimental mode but make no mistake Kilkenny were ...

Kilkenny whacked Carlow tonight, Offaly would probably have gone toe to toe with Carlow and maybe sneak a win..the gulf is massive and i fear its too big to close now..just my obs..

From what I could make out, we seemed to be miles off it again. Fog probably played a part. Looked a bit more like what we might expect as the starting 15 this year but I noted the abscence of the ravenhills and brian duignan still It seems such an ardorous task to get tbe ball upto scoring territo...

Under the circumstances a refixture is the only fair outcome. Galway may claim they had their noses in front, but the recent passing of Johnny Flaherty should remind us that Offaly closed out the 1981 All Ireland final with 1-6 unanswered. In 1981 Galway were the defending All Ireland champions and...

Very hard to "see" that happen today

Coulnt make hurling in Tullamore, there will be many on who will say the didn't see the game today V Galway in Tullamore, many who were probably at it🤣🤣🤣...apparently the referee insisted the game went ahead..which was strange in itself..to let it play 3/4 way through and then decide it was too dang...

I read both squads when announced and steered clear of predicting that Laois had a stronger looking squad, with subs bench looking stronger to me anyway...its only first game with some not yet back, but these are the games where you find out who you've got to do what etc. but league isn't far away a...

Sorry to hear Bernard Allen has left, didnt get a fair crack of it under previous managers I and many will concur but then we are on outside looking in as they say and all that..Reading above some seem to think we are going to win certain games, correctly put by one poster those same opposing teams ...

Bet your bottom dollar the county board will benefit if comes from players holiday fund going towards training..you can be sure rather than an additional spend on something to enhance training/performance development it will be treated as €60k the county board won't have to find..to be fair most oth...

County board will be delighted with the holiday money going towards the training etc...only problem is how does one judge if it contributes to the over all progress/success of the season, unless we progress some way (retain div 1 and win whatever cup we are in)the squads gesture will not be remember...

I couldn't make OCP yesterday but watched full game earlir tonight firstly the best team won, OLGs had alot of wides too over the hour, many are not mentioning that..usual Kilkenny thing with 'luck' too though..I counted 4 scores they got where a handpass or hurled pass was blocked by a KK player an...

Hopefully we wont be "minding" players who are now early to md 20s...ime well rehearsed here on my views on that ould mullarkey..other counties have landed their prodigy's in All Ireland's and provincial finals the year they sit their leaving certs...Offaly upto now is "protecting&quo...
