Re: Offaly vs Tippearly NHL Round 4 13/3/2011
we all sit here and talk about Joe Dooley yea de yea de yea management etc. but the fact is you can only deal with the cards you are given. the fact is that Joe Dooley has done a reasonable job so far given that where he started when offaly hurling was on its knees. Offaly were competitive in the le...

Re: Clonmore's McPaddens and Rhode
this may have obvious repercussions for the rhode and more particularly Rhode Og club in the future and even though they may not have chased the lads, from the outside looking in it doesnt reflect too well on rhode. My point is, what will happen if another good young player comes thro belonging to b...

Re: Congratulations to Gallen CS
great win for ferbane, well done to all concerned. a lot of good work being done in schools football in the last few years and has contributed enormously to the success of co minor teams. in the past 2/3 years, Gallen Ferbane, Marys edenderry, Tullamore college and Col Iosagain portarlington have wo...

Re: OFFALY V CAVAN 06/02/2011
great win for offaly and more importantly a good solid performance and well worth the win with 6/7 points to spare. it must be put in context though, Cavan were horrendous on the day!! Mulhall was solid with good kickouts and distribution in general play. Sean pender is a dead cert for championship ...

Re: Sigerson and Fitzgibbon Competitions
This is no major surprise given the state of the offaly minor hurlers the last few years. assume dempsey will be between the sticks for ul and shane dooley is down there too, but if they dont make an effort, they will not be picked as the standard is effectively county senior standard in the top 4/5...

Re: O'Byrne Cup 2011
point taken and accepted lads, he isnt there on present form but i really feel that if himself and sullivan and a few more got their asses in gear for the county, offaly would be quite competitive again instead of pissin around with lads that everyone knows are very average club footballers. when ar...

Re: Rhode V Kilmacud
seem to have some issues there theoffalytruth, thought rhode did well the last day and were always going to be up against it. they were up against a panel of 25 serious athletes all as big as rhodes biggest. as pat spillane says, when a dumper truck hits a morris minor, guess who comes out on top. t...

Re: O'Byrne Cup 2011
Alan mcnamee looked more of a county player than most to my mind. he has the size and physique and age that he didnt have a few years ago. he was one of the reasons that rhode were so good in the first half, his distribution was excellent and he was mopping up in the half back line and distributing ...

Re: O'Byrne Cup 2011
wasnt at the game but by all accounts it was very poor with the dubs playing only half their first team and were without the kilmacud lads too. the group are miles off the pace despite reports that they are training very hard, just begs the question what the hell they are doing in training. it was v...

Re: Offaly senior football in general
that was a full monaghan team we played and that draw secured their status in the top flight. it was a big game both teams needed to win with a fair size crowd in attendance in tullamore. it was also a full strength cork team too at the time, maybe not what started the championship that year but bil...

Re: Offaly senior football in general
Now the managers is a different story. A manager has a tough enough job looking after the players in his care, he can't be held responsible for the 70 - 100 footballers bubbling under each year. That's not to say that managers can't cause problems in other ways or set back the guys they have, but i...

Re: Offaly senior football in general
I feel that (and this is my personal opinion) that the current Offaly senior team is the strongest team that the county has fielded in the past 15 years if not more. THe fantastic blend of youth and enthusiasm along with mature and experienced players is going to prove fruitful this season.[ edende...
