Re: Offaly Senior Football Management 2015

Good choice with Flanagan......best inside guy available......the key now will be to equip him with the support structures and personnell required for an intercounty senior team.....cutting corners will only serve to undervalue the potential of the team which could easily get up to division 2 within...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Management 2015

really, to get a proper answer on this, one would need to speak to McDonnells management team, the players and the people concerned...... the truth is out there if you really want to know.......

Re: Offaly Senior Football Management 2015

My understanding was that it was to do with professional backroom support team members that walked away from the set-up - not because of anything to do with McDonnell but grievances they had with county board which would be nothing new. These were key players that management and players would have w...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Management 2015

Jimbob,why are you so keen to believe what was said by Niall Mc Named? Just because that is his opinion doesn't mean it is a true representation of what actually happens! Maybe Pat Flanagan is exactly what we need herein Offaly. That the manager is the boss, not the players! Worth a shot anyway!!! ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Management 2015

Reckon this is more Sligo calling the shots on Flanagan than anything as he hasnt committed to them yet despite them wanting him to stay on...... It may mean he will get the Offaly gig but Sligo would have felt held to ransom that he hasnt said either or......Turns out now that Flanagan will have to...

Re: football championship 2014

Thought Rhode were streets ahead of Clara today....... Going forward Clara offered very little against a hard working Rhode defence who closed off the space easily v a clara team that seemed too slow moving the ball forward and a good few lads were more intent on soloing than moving the ball quickly...

Re: football championship 2014

If this is true, it is an absolute disgrace. He should be suspended for misconduct and I am serious. To put a players life in danger like that is just phenomenal! He was obviously in the ambulance in the first place for a reason. If a player put another players lefe in danger intentionally, wouldnt ...

Re: Offaly GAA is in Some State

Well said Substandard......I was there last night and left annoyed and extremely disappointed.....Wasnt so much a forum but a rally call to enthuse people to "Get them out hurlin"......Like a Pied Piper to the rats. While I thought Fogarty spoke very well, i felt that at times he spoofed a...

Re: Offaly GAA is in Some State

I too was totally underwhelmed and I would say that a lot of people were more frustrated leaving than when they came in...... 2 men asked hard questions and they were glossed over! Will give more opinion later when I have more time!!

Re: Well done Padraig Boland and CB

In fairness i think people have very good reason to be annoyed at lack of progress in recent times..... we have been horrific, mainly down to poor preparation of teams. Times have moved on from the 80s and 90s and other counties are equipping their managements with proper support structures. this is...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Management 2015

Any word on this? Surely there is something happening.......with McDonnell stepping down months ago and championship in full flow, there should be someone in place by now if we were serious about moving things forward. Hard to credit Colin Kelly for this job. Did well with Louth 21s and maybe a club...
