Frankthetank makes an interesting point here. And some teams just don't have forwards. Or have one. In their two matches to date (I'm not distinguishing scores from play from those from placed balls here), for Tullamore, Shane Dooley has 0-10, Mike Fox has 1-7 and three others have 0-11 between them...

Late to this for this round. Anyway: Kilcormac-Killoughey v KInnitty In 2018, Kilcormac-Killoughey beat Kinnitty 2-17 to 1-13; In 2019, K-K beat Kinnitty 1-17 to 0-13; And last year, K-K were the winners, 0-26 to 1-17. While Kinnitty’s last win was a 0-13 to 2-6 win in 2006. Birr v Tullamore In 2013...

As the saying goes:- nothing good came from Tipperary; man, weather or beast.

Ah no, sure everyone just hates Tipp

The nightmare All-Ireland for the Tipp supremacists. They'll be out fishing or shooting on Sunday, as far from a television as they can get. This couldn't get any worse for them. Either Limerick win the fourth in a row, or Kilkenny stop them.

Gonna be a great final.

Recent meetings of this weekend’s pairings. First, Senior A football: Ferbane v Tullamore They drew in 2020’s semi final, 0-17 (T) to 1-14 (F) before Tullamore on 9-8 on penalties. In 2021, Tullamore beat Ferbane 4-10 to 0-14 in the semi-final Last year, Tullamore beat Ferbane 1-9 to 1-7 Clara v Dur...

They surely did.

The rationale to change the rule, Tank? I don't know, and I only discovered in early 2020 that it had changed. It would presumably have required a motion at Convention. A few years before the introduction of the split season, there was a plan to commence the Junior championships before the Senior ch...

Frankthetank is right. It wouldn't be unusual for Lusmagh to use just 17 or 18 of 19 Senior players in a year. I notice most Senior A clubs used three subs last Friday evening. Lusmagh used none. The old system where seven players were regraded suited the smaller clubs better. I could be wrong, but ...

I love a good mystery. A mysterious 'C' appears to have lined out at centre half-back for the champions. Sounds like one of those Brazilian soccer players. And four in the full-forward line. I wasn't there, but that could lead to bunching. But shur, they know themselves, I suppose.

Nope.

Both lined out as selected. James Geraghty and Alex Kavanagh came on for Kilcormac.

Can’t agree with you there, Brack, so I pulled the Dooley book to see what they said. The recovery owed far far more than merely a bit of shouting and roaring and going out to prove Kay-tin wrong. Joe: “Babs let him (trainer Johnny Murray) take most of the training sessions and took tings easy himse...

What Babser said – taken from Vincent Hogan’s piece in the following day’s Irish Independent . Journalists focussed on the ‘sheep’ reference, but there was much more than that. Absolving himself of any blame, of course. And I'd forgotten he insulted Antrim in the middle of the whole thing. "Cou...

A bit of a Senior B round 1 form guide LUSMAGH v KILCORMAC-KILLOUGHEY An annual event now. In 2020, Kilcormac-Killoughey won 2-18 to 0-21 In 2021, Lusmagh won 3-22 to 2-8 And last year, Kilcormac-Killoughey won 3-23 to 1-20 SHAMROCKS v BIRR Shamrocks won 2014’s Intermediate group game 1-20 to 0-16 S...

A sort of (but not much of) a formguide for round 1 ST RYNAGH’S v TULLAMORE In 2014, St Rynagh’s won 1-12 to 0-13 In 2015, St Rynagh’s won 1-14 to 2-10 In 2017, St Rynagh’s won 3-21 to 0-12 Tullamore’s last win was in 2009’s quarter-final. Fixtures secretaries will come and go, but in each of the la...

What I want to know is - why is east Offaly (north Portarlington, Clonbullogue and the like) called north Offaly?

Behave, people.
