Re: Junior Football Championship

Semi Final Draw Kilcormac/Killoughey vs Daingean/Clonmore Harps Clara/Ferbane vs Tullamore I think the remaining clubs may be hoping K/K progress in the hurling and it distracts them from the football because apart from that I would say they will win the championship .The hurlers must have been all...

Re: Football Review Committee Survey

My suggestions were: Restrict the handpass. Allow the pick up from the ground. Teams to be 13 a side. Restructure the championship to say 32 teams. The present structure based on the provincial system, based on the number of counties, means some teams start their campaign much later than others. Bas...

Re: Club football championship

God knows, no doubt we will be once again playing our final in October, despite exiting the championship in June.
Can we not finish matters in September?.

I think Cork will win this one, they have improved from last year. Hope i'm proved wrong.

I can get another look at that very plummy member of the Kildare gentry with the sleeveless jumper.
Think he was a refugee from the K club. Went along to see the plebs.

Re: Offaly Vs Wexford 2/6/12 Leinster Championship

The important thing is that Offaly won tonight, although it was tense in the last few minutes, as Wexford pulled us back. Wexford started and finished the game stronger, while Offaly were dominant in the second and third quarters. Offaly need an improvement if we are to trouble Galway or Westmeath ...

Re: Offaly Vs Wexford 2/6/12 Leinster Championship

Let's give Wexford a taste of Offaly passion on Saturday night, and send them back to pick strawberries for the summer. According to RTE's GAA programme tonight, hosted by Marty Morrissey, we haven't a hope. Come on Offaly.

Re: tom coffey new offaly manager

Just heard on RTE that Tom Coffey is the interim manager. Does that mean we will go through last year's charade again after the championship?
There won't be too many candidates queueing up for the job.

Re: Relegated

I think if there was a Division 5 Offaly would wind up there at present!!. The switch of the Kildare game to Sunday, where it will be part of a double header, as Brackngh Boy wrote, means RTE want at least one competitive game that day. All about viewers. Wonder are Ireland playing in Euro 2012 tha ...

Think it has to be Macari's in the Market Square Tullamore. It's clean and the food is good. Supermac's is not bad either.

Re: o byrne cup vs kildare

I never thought Offaly would win today, the scale of the defeat was vey disappointing. Offaly were 10 points down at half time with the wind!. 4 points were scored in the second half, to 7 from Kildare, who had eased off then. Kildare were bigger, fitter, and better, but as posters said, Kildare are...
