Rule 42

"Allowing other codes in, under any circumstances, means we are changing our rules to suit them, not to suit ourselves, and we will have set a precedence that it will be very hard to go back on. " If we get a decent economic rent in, then I would contend that it does suit ourselves. I'd be...

RTE

Haven't got the video I'm afraid. At least the cameramen knew where the action was at though - both in the terraces and on the pitch.

Haircuts

The sheer wildness of Pat Delaney's afro couldn't go unmentioned.

Diggy Cordial's peroxide blonde thing could have been legendary, but he chickened out too soon.

Coolderry vs UCD report

2004 is over. Curtain drawn, audience filing out politely. No encores requested. What can safely be said to be one of the worst years for Offaly GAA both on and off the pitch in at least my living memory has drawn to an appropriate conclusion, and I’d say if even Methuselah was inclined to stand on ...

Demolition

Most of us just want to see "Demolition in Progress" signs outside the whole of Clara.

League 2005

I'd be chomping at the bit to re-assert the natural order of things over the SouthLongford boys as much as the next man, but from a realistic point of view, we'd have to be targeting it as a match we'd need to win to stay up, just like a few of the others. With all due respect to the lads who'll be ...

The GAA’s Croke of Gold

(As posted on the site under my columns - any thoughts?) The recent US election, as well as showing us that the electorate of the US views GW Bush somewhat differently to the rest of us, has been widely recognised as an illustration of the deep divisions that run down the core of the American nation...

Mad Mac

Scored two tries for Buccaneers' B team on Friday night. Eddie O'Sullivan will be watching with interest.

McIntyre

Twill be announced tomorrow morning anyway, so I'd say we'll know by then. Having dealt with him a little bit in a previous job, he's a very intelligent analytical man, and in that sense could do good things for us. As you say, he'll have even more managerial experience behind him, and all in all wo...

POTY

Bearing in mind that it'll largely be down to the club championship, I'd say Niall will get it. When you factor in the relative supply lines I'd vote for the Paw though. Useless and all as that is as I have no say whatsoever.

Rhode vs Portlaoise

Watching our various administrative feck ups over the past few months has been horrendous enough viewing, but I don't think I've ever seen an Offaly football team, club or county, fold like Rhode yesterday, and it was by far the most disappointing single thing to have happened over the last unpleasa...

Club football Review

Ye've all read this on the site - what do the various clubmen think ...... Hardly memorable, seldom surprising, and at times downright average, nonetheless the first steps towards Offaly’s senior football campaign in 2005 were taken this summer as players sought to establish themselves as good consi...

Horan

Not a huge fan of Padraig Horan to be honest. Terraces love a wild man (Roy Mannion or the Hippie - now there were hurlers!!) but Horan to me was just dirty. Like Galway people love Lynskey, and personally I'd respect him, but Horan to me was more a Silvie Linnane instead. And I don't like Sylvie .....
