Re: Offaly GAA is in Some State
Plenty of room in colleges for birr and a combined team -IF all the remaining schools/players fully supported it. Hasnt been the case of recent years. Schools will cite their own workload, chances in b/c etc. Didnt hamper them in dungarvan/waterford a few years back. Schools have the lads for 167 da...

Re: Offaly GAA is in Some State

Re: Laois v Offaly – Leinster Hurling Quarter Final 7th Ju
I rem having a debate in dooleys hotel about 12 years agoabout styles of hurling in offaly. It was a hurling dev meeting. I rem saying that sometimes you suit your style to the players you have and this changes. I rem cork in the early 90s. Big big forwards and they played a game to suit. Direct and...

Re: Still no Minor Football Management selected yet??
Can any of ye good offaly football men tell me if any gallen cs players lined out for offaly today in the leinster minor league? I m not looking for player info, just seeing if our lads - carlow cbs playing gallen in leinster semi on tue, were treated the same as your lads.

Re: Offaly GAA is in Some State
What are realistic goals for county teams? Provincial semi finalists? Like for us in carlow, thrse are the extent of our ambition based on realism. Its good to have long term plans but realistic goals need to be set. So what would ye see as your goals in the next five years for each grade? I just go...

Re: Offaly GAA is in Some State
Ps kildare were supposedly to have parted with several hundred thousand over the 6 years of their last football managers reign in "expenses". No wonder they had to get players to help decorate the gym!!

Re: Offaly GAA is in Some State
Obviously you dont know the money is only for hurling not football as you mentioned.. Its 45 grand - i got that bit wrong. Setting up a gym is unlikely to improve us substantially but it can help obviously. It shows the new mind set of where we see things going in the gaa - look after the county set...

Re: Offaly GAA is in Some State
I ve been a part of a committee that met the president and a few more from part of the 6 "emerging" counties. The dont really care. Its great to be listened to, but we - and probably offaly and a few more, are not their priority. We ll get 50 grand from their new prog. What will that do?? ...

Re: Offaly GAA is in Some State
Dale, you re telling it like it is! Theres the haves and have nots now in the gaa more than ever. The days of the smaller county competing for titles in a realistic sense is over. People talk about the 5 million debt on o connor park. Clare spent over 1 million last year on intercounty teams.

Re: Offaly GAA is in Some State
I have to agree with you. Us smaller counties are only going one way in relation to Dublin and some other counties - down! Money now more than ever is a key factor in counties success. Dublin are the perfect storm - money and numbers. Let's face facts, some Dublin clubs - several in fact, would have...
