Looks like the tide is turning in Offaly's favour. I'm not sure if anyone, apart from a small few extremists in Kidlare want to see the result overturned. ================================================ If Offaly lose out it would be ultimate sporting travesty Wednesday May 31st 2006 IT may sound c...

He went sprawling into his own player like a donkey on ice rink.

So who does the Biff look more like?
Roy Malone or Elvis?

I was surprised at Divilly, I never copped he was a dirty piece of work when he was with Galway. He had just gotten booked seconds before that clip for horsing the Offaly forwards out of it. He goes straight back over and starts doing the exact same, as you can see in the clip. All through the match...

Hopefully Central Council will realise it was a paperwork mistake. The net effect was that Offaly made 5 subs and a blood sub, entirely within the rules. Unfortunately the paperwork differed from this slightly. But we didn't get any extra benefit from it. It would be a hugely embarrassing to start g...

I would have no interest in getting a team that beat you on merit thrown out on a technicality. Most reasonable Kildare fans I've spoken to have no interest in having a replay and losing again to Offaly. I'd say a lot of Kildare fans wouldn't even attend the farce of a rematch. In 2004 I had no inte...

Irony of ironies given that Offaly supporters had been tearing their hair out for the last 2 years as the current regime rarely made substitutions when they were needed. Now we could get done for making too many.

Be careful what you wish for!

Great spirit from Offaly. You have to admire the battling qualities of this team. Even with a patched up team and down to 14 men, we still came good. The confidence of the young players in most pleasing. McConway on his debut looked at ease in Croke Park. Deehan stuck away his chance well. Great com...

There can sometimes be a bit of aggro between Offaly and Kildare. On the Hill there was plenty of banter, and a bit of winding up. I saw one incident where the guards and stewards seem to sorting out an incident after Offaly's third goal. There was a pocket of Kildare fans near us who were drinking ...

Best Croke Park match day pubs

Which pubs do you prefer or hang out in on match days? I'd definitely be a WJ Kavanagh's man. It seems to get a big North/West Offaly crowd. Doon and Clara for definite. I wouldn't be certain about what other towns or clubs would be well represented there. Bermingham's across the road used to be tol...

In order to keep the trend.

Offaly 1-13
Kilare 0-14

Any Kildare fans or players logging on and reading this topic will become fearful of Offaly's one-mindedness that we are going to win. This will render them a beaten team before they take the field!

I think we are stuck for a wing forward. John Reynolds doesn't really have the physical attributes to play in this position. I think he is unlucky in that we have plenty of scoring corner forwards. Is Leonard Mooney still on the panel? I didn't see his name listed on the subs for the Westmeath match...

Didn't spot the team had been posted. Oakley starts as I'd hoped. Hayden and Egan replaced. Egan looked a little short of self belief, whenever I saw him. If Hanrahan plays in the full forward line it will give us two tall men to aim at. I would have thought that Brendan O'Meara was in line to start...

The worry is that it'll be a wet day and Leix will be able to mullock us out of it. As I've said before, we are conceding far too many big scores. In the league we conceded: Cork 2-18 (In February) Clare 2-22 (On a wet day) Tipp 2-21 (And an absolute tonne of easy wides) Would anyone be surprised if...
