Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

I know it hard in the moment, and hindsight is a great thing but mgt I think are letting down this group of players. Didn't set up after the sending off correctly and the penalty should have been pointed. Not left up to the taker. Penalties are quite difficult to score. It was the losing of the win...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Read in the Offaly paper report that has we reached preliminary qf it would have been on same weekend as Westmeath McDonagh match and that our u-20s wouldn't have been available for the senior match is that correct? 😮 No. That rule only applies to tier 1 counties. They would be theoretically unavai...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Joe mcdonagh coming now is going to have an impact on u20 preparation. Kk seem to be putting up huge scores. Some of these have u 20s are important to the senior team and we need to make sure they are in good order for McDonagh cup which has to take priority over the u-20s. A serious bunch of lads ...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Agreed, left it behind. Penalty miss was the turning point and they went and reeled off last 4 points and had two wides. We dropped back naturally when 4 a head, and we had an extra man due to their sending off. Bit frustrating. I would take a draw against Galway any day of the week but felt we lef...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

You are being extremely argumentative here, and I don't know why you're so hung up on this. You've chosen to go down the personal insults route as well, which is disappointing. To expect something is to deem it as likely to happen. That's one for you to look up in the dictionary now. I expected Off...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Right, so in cloud cuckoo land to expect those lads to beat Dublin in Parnell Park which they ultimately did. Whatever floats your boat. I think you're struggling to grasp the concept of the word "expect". When you talk about the weather in Ireland you can expect rain.. it's something tha...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

No, that is not a poor Dublin team. It's highly rated internally in fact. You also did not provide any reason as to why that was a surprise victory beyond vague generalities about Offaly hurling being weak. You have to look at the players and teams on their own merits. Also, that bit about lads bei...

So you expected Offaly to go to Parnell park and beat a "highly rated" Dublin team? And if you can't read that's on you.. we're talking about hurling not making personal digs at people 👍

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

I'm sorry, but the win in Parnell Park was not a surprise victory, no matter how much you try and spin it. Offaly hammered those Dublin lads at minor in 2022 and beat them comfortably enough at u20 in 2023. Borne out by the bookies having had Offaly as odds on favourites. That's not to say that Off...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Joey stop talking rot Offaly were favs against Dublin so were expecting to win. There ultimate goal is to win an all Ireland 20 title with there short term goal to try get leinster title to get there. Going to Dublin and "expecting" a win is talking rot and frankly placing unrealistic and...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Why won't we win the game today? And why was the result in parnell Park a "surprise" ? We're playing Galway? We were playing Dublin in Parnell park? Any day any Offaly team beat any Dublin team in Parnell park is a surprise and very difficult to beat Galway regardless of what happened at ...
