Re: U20 footballers 2024
Who knows why management settles on a certain style or game plan, but they usually factor in the group's strengths and weaknesses and build around that. Going back to 2021 at minor, Offaly were quite comprehensively beaten by Dublin that year. Also, the players on this panel, who are tipped for a br...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
But it's shows the courage and ambition of this group who are really punching above their weight. Punching above their weight? The core of the team got to the All Ireland final last year. Now being a year older, they will be doing everything they can to train, prepare and think like a team aiming t...

Re: Offaly Minor Football 2024
Any idea if Joe Rouse is eligible or not? I don't think so one of the players were telling me Longford handed them a letter before the game. I'd imagine he'll have to move club first So he’s trained all year and it wasn’t checked out that he could play???? He played for them last year as well.

Re: U20 footballers 2024
The way I look at it......It is still within Offaly's control. However, they need to win by 8 points or more in order for other results not to matter for them to finish in top 2. Unfortunately Offaly's scoring against Longford won't be counted in the 3-way Offaly, Kildare and Louth tie breaker. Off...

Re: U20 footballers 2024
Not ideal. Offaly just need to look after their part against Longford, but their fate isn't fully in their control.
We just need Louth to get a draw or better, or else Kildare to win handsomely.

Re: U20 footballers 2024
Does anyone know what the scoring difference tie-breaker will be if Offaly, Kildare and Louth end up on 4 points?
Is it overall scoring difference for all 3 games, or scoring difference in the games amongst the tied teams?

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
Offaly should have been comfortably home and dry there, but Dublin gave them plenty to think about in the last 20 minutes. Agree that the conditions and the pitch were very awful, which suited Dublin more and helped keep them in the game. Offaly's hurling was ahead of Dublin's but they brought a lot...

Dylan Hyland in the clear to play against Leix, Nigel Dunne suspended for this red card.

Re: Offaly Minor Football 2024
With Dublin in the group and expected to finish on top, second place doesn't look possible now.
Best outcome is for Offaly to put in a much better display against Leix and then give the Dubs a rattle in the final game.

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Luckily the outcome won't be influenced or decided by contributors on an INTERNET forum. And the quest to be underdogs or favourites is a sideshow. It's usually only after the fact, when a supposed underdog wins, that they start whining about being 'written off'. They never complain beforehand. Sore...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
It felt inevitable that we’d end up checking the scores from Belfast, just in case. While it never felt like Offaly were going to lose at any stage, Limerick always had a puncher’s chance and that’s what made it less than comfortable. And that’s not being negative; it’s the reality that a team in a ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
I expect two from Offaly, Leix and Westmeath will contest the JMcD final. Offaly play Leix in the opening round and Westmeath a week later. This will be a crucial 7 days. Lose both and it may be all over. Offaly need to be playing at full pelt straight away. There is no scope for ‘learnings’, ‘work ...

Re: Shane Dooley Retirement
Farragher's wide was too early in the game to consider it decisive. Maybe it even helped. Offaly went down to 14 men in the 2nd half and Galway had a lead coming down the home straight. Galway probably felt they had the win bagged and tuned out, which helped Offaly launch a late fightback. What is b...
