Ah for jaysus sake lads,this is nothing short of farcical. Whats the problem here in all fairness??? Surely ta fook,a fella can go out for cupla jars when there's naer a sign of a match on the horizon. Although,I know of many on here who will counter by saying that it demonstrates a lack of commitme...

Football is at 2.30, hurling at 7. Busy day but at least it's just about do-able. That's gonna be tight. Hopefully the crowd in Wexford Park is small for a quick escape. How long did it take people to get back to Offaly the night of the hurling? Took us one hour to get out of Wexford town,which was...

Given the crowd density on the uncovered stand, it appears to me that the 'near' end as we approach the ground will be the terrace at the botton of the picture. Given that the photo was taken in October we can take it that it was taken in mid-afternoon. By evening the sun will be behind the near te...

Them O' Connors were legends but Jesus did they take serious punishment in that match :!: Poor Eddie :) Very small men as well, Any one see the Pat O' Neill solo :?: He did it twice. Terrible athlete though. Would have been hard to comprehend back then that Offaly wouldn't win a Leinster again for ...

We could come up with a version of "The Fields of Athenry", only we could turn it into "the fields of Arden Rd"! Jayz, this could work lads! Will have to put in some thought on this, go on lads, a verse each! We're going to be greeted by the following chant in Portlaoise. "...

*Ahem* This may well boil down to a matter of opinions,but in my case I would absolutely say yes that our hulers have improved as a team,as individuals and certainly in their mentality. Take the team as an example. When drawn agin' the previous years' finalists nobody gave 'em a chance,so much so th...

Niall NcNamee is known throughout this land as very able and competent player,who has bags of ability and no-end of skill.But,what has he got to show for it?A division 2 medal. Played all grades with Offaly Honours 1 div 4 league medal Club Honours 4 Offaly senior championships Dublin Senior Champi...

When I went to school we were always told that by our teacher (who was over the underage teams) that Matt Connor was the greatest ever footballer that Offaly produced and there would unlikely be anybody better ever! Connor is always spoken of in this regard. I've seen plenty of Matt on video and I ...

The man from Delmonte?
Steve Staunton?

Tis good to see the back of him,thats for sure.
As for who I'd like to see take over - I don't have a clue,because I doubt very much that any manager with the requisite credentials would want to take on such notoriously difficult job.

Eugene McGee perhaps

Indeed.
A golf outing would be a super idea.
If it could be arranged I would certainly play.
A time,date and location would have to be decided upon a fortnight in advance if people are to show up.

Keep us all posted of any developments...

The Deise fans that I met after the game were generally of a sound nature. They were giving out more about their own team,Dan Shanahan in particular,rather than directing expletives our way. Although,no matter what county you are dealing with there will always be a minority who don't adhere to the s...

Its a disgrace that this is allowed to happen.
Even some of the posters on upthedeise.com are appalled at such treatment.
It won't be changed and we'll just have to show 'em what we're made of.

Allez!

Of course we've a chance,never think any different. If ya check out the Deise forums you'll see that they are betwixt and between when it comes to Saturday's game - they are unsure of what to expect from us,would prefer to be playing a ''bigger team'' such as Cork so that they will be better prepare...

He hasn't been raising the white flag with every single strike,but for me its generally of an acceptable standard. I think that he's under huge pressure as our designated free-taker [much like Niall Mc with the big ball],so that may or may not be contributing to the odd miss here and there. It's his...
