Re: Football League Division 3 2014

I would say there was no much more than 300 at the match today, An extremely poor performance in the first half but Offaly improved slightly in the second half. You wouldn't see an under 12 team play the way Offaly played today. The whole team to one side of the field following the ball.Absolutely n...

Re: Offaly V Antrim part 1

I see Offaly have to play the Division 2A winners which is an absolute joke of a system and is a scandalous way to treat the emerging hurling counties.Its already a joke that the team who finishes bottom of Divsion 1B isn't automatically relegated and that a relegation playoff is even needed but to ...

Re: Leinster Under 21 Football

Did Cunningham really play as an extra midfielder/sweeper?

Because if he did then the manager needs to have his head examined, he destroyed Lonfgford in the senior matcha few weeks ago by playing between the full and half forward lines.

Buttons wrote:Lone shark should give a fairly good account of todays match, heard that they brought on Carroll and Cunningham when they were 12 points down.

A good idea to risk 2 of our best u-21 players in a lost cause 3 days before the biggest match of the year for them and for Offaly football.

Re: Offaly vs Limerick

Draw match.Just about deserved a draw but both teams weren't great.However Offaly look to be developing a more precise possession based game but our skill level and fitness isn't good enough yet to be playing that type of game we will have to wait until the championship to get any sort of proper ide...

Re: Football League Division 3 2014

Longford 1-15 Offaly 1-10 In spite of the result there was some encouraging signs from today's match.We ran out of steam in the last 15 minutes but up to then we played quite well.Peter Cunningham was outstanding kicking 5 points from play. Eoin Carroll played the best I have seen him play for the O...

Re: NHL OFFaly v Laois 16 february 2014

Terrible performance.Our touch was woeful , the team weren't sharp and were continually beaten to the ball by their opponents. Laois always seemed to have an extra man both in defence and attack and for some reason number 5 from Laois was let catch a load of short puckouts and nothing was done about...

Re: Football League Division 3 2014

[quote="Lean Times"] Players are low on confidence. It must be frustrating for the effort they are putting in. The Offaly crowd (that actually turns up) piss me off. Cannot support a team and personally I feel they don;t know how to. If anybody can remember the O'Byrne Cup games last year ...

Lads, it's time we packed in the football, we're an embarrassment at the moment. Waste of time and more importantly money been spent on this set up.

Re: Football League Division 3 2014

Scandalous performance.On numerous occassions we had 3 or 4 extra men in defence and still Cavan could easily pop passes around as they liked , no pressure on the ball and terrible marking from Offaly in defence.We cannot play defensive football properly so why the manager is persisting with it I do...

Re: Football League Division 3 2014

We need to play far more positively in this years league.We were unbelievably negative at times last year and there was a huge degree of stupidity in our forward play (The Tiperaary match being a prime example).In my opinion Joseph Maher and Peter Cunningham should start every game in the league the...
