Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
5 Durrow lads on the team, apparently. They must have published the football lineup accidentally. Apparently? I think it’s fairly clear that there is. It speaks testament to the great work going on in the B/D club. It also reflects changing demographics, as 2 of the players are sons of former count...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Had the Furlong chance been scored, then it's a very different game. Though that doesn't mean Offaly would have won it. Westmeath just wouldn't have had a lead they could roost on for the second half. It's going to take a couple of more games for Offaly to get motoring. In the middle eight, Carroll,...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
It's a brave selection overall but clearly Kelly wants to put his own stamp on the team. We may see the ball getting moved a bit quicker, but the conditions could make it difficult. Westmeath are a step up in a few different ways. They're more established and also had the benefit of an extended run ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
It was pretty close to a full strength offaly team though. If you’re arguing that we need our strongest 15 and not capable of beating that kind of dublin team with 75% of our starters then we really are in trouble. If you make 8 substitutions in a game, you are prioritising giving players game time...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
I wouldn't read much into the O'Byrne Cup. Dublin beat Wexford 5-17 to 1-11 last weekend sure. Longford only made 2 substitutions in normal time yesterday, which shows they were putting a big emphasis on winning instead of trying lads out. If Offaly had taken the same approach as Longford did, they...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
And yet Westmeath beat Wexford in a game of consequence last year. We certainly aren't on those teams level at the moment but we will be with time. As great a win as it was, Wexford had built up a 17 point lead in that game, which is a pointer to the gap that exists. The freak part of the game was ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
While Down were a disappointment in the the Tailteann final, I think they are on an upward trajectory.

The Summer of ’98 podcasts - Michael Foley
I've been listening to most of these episodes and I'd highly recommend them. Michael Foley recalls in great detail the events of a truly memorable summer. To this day there has never been a hurling championship like it for controversies, plot twists, and chaos. It fully warrants the running time as ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
"There is nothing to be learned from playing Galway again" - There is plenty to be learned. This is a Mulligan for Offaly. Analyse the 55 minutes from Sunday, try to correct the mistakes and then get a better scoreline next time. "The result was a foregone conclusion" - It was a ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
Under the circumstances a refixture is the only fair outcome. Galway may claim they had their noses in front, but the recent passing of Johnny Flaherty should remind us that Offaly closed out the 1981 All Ireland final with 1-6 unanswered. In 1981 Galway were the defending All Ireland champions and ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Offaly could have seen it out comfortably. The game turned in that second half lull where Offaly had lots of ball but showed less urgency. But remember, if winning was that important, we wouldn't have seen so many subs. It's pre-season where it's important to give lots of players game time. The posi...
