Re: Best Pub in Tullamore

Hard to bate Eugenes and Digans, followed by the Wolftrap.

Re: Offaly Team to face Wexford in Leinster Football Championshi

Strange selection. Brady at full back is a bad choice and if he gets roasted he will be made a scapegoat. Quinn would be the better option there. Brady would be far better utilised at midfield to compliment Smiths fielding and athletism. Reynolds hard done by big time, with Nigel Dunne seeming very ...

Re: Time change for Wexford Match

I think this is a great decision. The home and away agreements between counties was introduced first and foremost as a financial instrument so to clash this game with the Champions League would have kept hundreds away, and would also have impacted the effect on Tullamore too as surely a number of We...

Re: Minor Hurling vs Wexford

I was at the league game vs Carlow and we were far superior. The pitch had little or no grass in places and it didnt suit Offaly at all. Offaly also had a large number of wides that night and still won handy enough.
Dr Cullen will suit us though and i'd expect us to win. Offaly by 6 points plus

Re: Offaly Senior Football Club Championship 2011

Clara 1-18 Shamrocks 0-08 Half time was 1-10 to 0-03, and Shamrocks second half points came only after Clara had tapped on a few points and brought off Thomas Deehan, Graham Guilfoyle and others. From a Clara perspective they could only beat what was put in front of them but Clara will learn little ...

Re: football club championship

We really need more than 2 teams competing for the county championship but its very hard to see anyone genuinely challenge Rhode and Clara. Perhaps Clara just to shade it due to being fresher and having a younger core to the team. Clara have a fully fit Joe Quinn for the first time in 3 seasons. Cou...

Re: Offaly vs Westmeath NFL 10/04/2011

[quote="Truth as i see it"]yeah i'd actually agree with you magpie i would be worried that Cribben is stumbling his way around a little bit in terms of finding the right team, his tactical dicisions have been baffleing at times. Well if he's stumbling around Div 3 to find his best 15 then ...

Re: Offaly v Kilkenny 17-04-11

Offaly hurling 13/07/1980 to 17/04/2011 RIP A bit over the top considering its only April. We'll re visit this in June/July but what would we rather? keep div 1 status and bow out tamely in leinster or go to Parnell park and beat Dublin and then see what happens. We all know Offaly get going in the...

Re: Offaly v Kilkenny 17-04-11

Anyway enough of the doom and gloom. Its nearly summer time and the championship is coming on the horizon. I was in Nowlan Park today and a lot of positives can be taken from the game. Firstly this was a stronger Kilkenny team than people were making out. The full back line would be a match for any ...

Re: Offaly vs Westmeath NFL 10/04/2011

I dont think yesterday was quite the disaster everyone makes it out to be. The league is not known to be a happy hunting ground for Offaly in either codes and should be taken with a pinch of salt. The emergence of Panda and Guiller, plus the comeback of Joe Quinn are satisfactory and welcome outcome...
