Re: Sigerson and Fitzgibbon Competitions
This is no major surprise given the state of the offaly minor hurlers the last few years. assume dempsey will be between the sticks for ul and shane dooley is down there too, but if they dont make an effort, they will not be picked as the standard is effectively county senior standard in the top 4/5...

Re: O'Byrne Cup 2011
point taken and accepted lads, he isnt there on present form but i really feel that if himself and sullivan and a few more got their asses in gear for the county, offaly would be quite competitive again instead of pissin around with lads that everyone knows are very average club footballers. when ar...

Re: Rhode V Kilmacud
seem to have some issues there theoffalytruth, thought rhode did well the last day and were always going to be up against it. they were up against a panel of 25 serious athletes all as big as rhodes biggest. as pat spillane says, when a dumper truck hits a morris minor, guess who comes out on top. t...

Re: O'Byrne Cup 2011
Alan mcnamee looked more of a county player than most to my mind. he has the size and physique and age that he didnt have a few years ago. he was one of the reasons that rhode were so good in the first half, his distribution was excellent and he was mopping up in the half back line and distributing ...

Re: O'Byrne Cup 2011
wasnt at the game but by all accounts it was very poor with the dubs playing only half their first team and were without the kilmacud lads too. the group are miles off the pace despite reports that they are training very hard, just begs the question what the hell they are doing in training. it was v...

Re: Offaly senior football in general
that was a full monaghan team we played and that draw secured their status in the top flight. it was a big game both teams needed to win with a fair size crowd in attendance in tullamore. it was also a full strength cork team too at the time, maybe not what started the championship that year but bil...

Re: Offaly senior football in general
Now the managers is a different story. A manager has a tough enough job looking after the players in his care, he can't be held responsible for the 70 - 100 footballers bubbling under each year. That's not to say that managers can't cause problems in other ways or set back the guys they have, but i...

Re: Offaly senior football in general
I feel that (and this is my personal opinion) that the current Offaly senior team is the strongest team that the county has fielded in the past 15 years if not more. THe fantastic blend of youth and enthusiasm along with mature and experienced players is going to prove fruitful this season.[ edende...

Offaly senior football in general
just reading the thread on the senior hurlers 2011, it also strikes a chord with the footballers. for the past few years the whole thing has been a shambles in general the way it has been managed and the county board needs to seriously look at itself. also the senior and under 21 managers need also ...

Re: SHC Final

Why dont the look at the video evidence and see Keane and Dunican wrestling one another to the ground, id callthat fighting in any senset. Also hey might see the...

Re: SHC Final
wasnt at the semi but by all accounts, james keane was harshly sent off and the appeal went to the county board. the appeal apparently was based on video evidence of what actally happened regrding keane and dunican, not on any heresay. therefore the county board had no option but to disregard the re...
