Re: Offaly GAA Media Access

Offaly's future ...... I agree, we have ticked all the boxes, we have the people on the bus and in the seats, but that is as far as it goes.....people are appointed to the positions and that is as far as it goes. Why do people put themselves forward for important positions and not fulfill their rol...

Re: Offaly GAA Media Access

I have to say the Offaly County Boards use of Twitter to communicate following the Minor hurling issue yesterday was rather conspicuous by its absence.....in fact, cone to think of it.....there is no mention of a minor final anywhere on their website or any tweets to engender interest. .....the medi...

Re: minor hurling

Contrary to some stories being pushed on other social media sites, the referee did not consult with the chairman of the county board. The Chairman made his way onto the field where the referee was in discussion with his team of officials and two Clareen Og officials (John Leafywas one, I xcannot be ...

Re: minor hurling

It wascalled off at half time.....should never have been allowed to start in the first place.....i guess what happened today was probably inevitable based on how this championship has been treated by the county board all year. This was the farce of all farces.....and it seemed to me (although unconf...

Re: Kilcormac-Killoughey in Leinster - 2014

As in any knock out championship game, KK will have to turn up on the day and I have every confidence that they will. I think Ballyhale will come out and hurl them man for man and I don't think KK will be found wanting when it comes to preparation, energy, passion, and commitment. Granted Ballyhale ...

Re: Kilcormac-Killoughey in Leinster - 2014

Sam, I was not at the game....but I saw the (very limited) highlights on TG4 on Monday night and the two goals scored by Ballyhale looked very soft indeed. This would obviously put a very different look on the scoreboard....it appeared from newspaper reports that Ballyhale played well within themsel...

Re: Kilcormac-Killoughey in Leinster - 2014

I don't know about the timing around thefixing of the Beagh game and the inter firms game so cannot make a call on that. It may well be that the championship match was only fixed after the inter firm games were played. I would have both Iarla Tannion and Johnny Glynn as key influences in the Ardraha...

Re: Kilcormac-Killoughey in Leinster - 2014

The question I have is.....how irresponsible was it of Iarla Tannion to play an inter firms game a week before the county championship quarter final

Re: Offaly Hurling Panel 2015

Damian Fox was also with Sid in Wexford together with Killian Farrell....i could not see Damian getting involved in less he was going to have a say in the selection process....i think he will be a good addition to the set up. I also understand that there were some problems with Ger Coughlan and a nu...

Re: Offaly Hurling Panel 2015

I am not going to repeat mt selfby saying that the current manager was a great hurler, but I will repeat myself by saying that a great hurler does not necessarily make a good manager. Most of the lads who deserved to ge in with the county from both KK and Coolderry were in there......that is not the...

Re: Kilcormac-Killoughey in Leinster - 2014

To be fair to Sean Cleere I thought he was very good in 2015 and was actually pleased he was appointed for the Shelmaliers game.....His performance was inconsistent in that he gave frees to Shels that he did not give to KK for the same thing. The issue is a problem for referees generally and revolve...
