I'd be in favour of more divisional and combined teams where appropriate. In recent times we've had combined north Offaly teams clubs making strides in underage hurling.

That'll be a good Saturday night on the tear down in Tralee.
Don't forget (as if we would) to remind them of '82 - They'll be ripping us off with accommodation prices, so we might as well.

Now that the Philipstown club no longer share jersey design with Wastemeath, I believe this will herald a new era of success for Daingean.

We must "hold fast to the past" (as former GAA president Pat Fanning put it).
The half time old time waltzes in O'Connor park should stay.
None of this pop music!

The sin-bin won't be around for long in its current form, that's for sure. I think we should be targeting persistent fouling rather than single slightly robust indiscretions. The sin bin should operate independently of yellow cards. It should be on a personal foul count. Something like basketball. T...

After the dodgy burger I got in Doon last week, I would have to vote against Trailermacs.

Offaly footballers - Starting 15 for championship

At the moment mine would be: 1 Colin McNamamamamara 2 Shane Sullivan 3 Conor Evans 4 Ger Rafferty 5 Barry Mooney 6 Scott Brady 7 Karol Slatte...

Very comprehensive review. Of course at this time of year it can be hard to judge who's unavailable/injured/not interested/on the beer etc but it looks a fair assessment of the present panel.

Worst Christmas gifts

You'd have the usual suspects; socks, soap on a rope, Old Spice etc.
