Re: Junior A Football

as a Daingean man I believe the criticism of us on this page has being hugely unfair..we accept that the better team won and can have no complaints,most of us are friends with the Cappincur players and are glad they won it ahead of teams like KK/Tullamore/Clara who have no real desire to win the Ju...

Re: Junior A Football

fully agree HSM. Cappincur have some of the finest young talent in OY football in their ranks. Noel Graham and the Carrolls would be well capable of playing county senior in years to come if they were training and playing in the right environment, ie higher level football with club and University Si...

Re: new football manager

have to agree clubman, what is going on is nothing short of a disgrace on the CB and selection committees part. if this committee were worth anything at all, they would have contacted people in time and got a couple of options that they were happy to entertain for interview. It appears that they wer...

Re: new football manager

What the hell is going on at all!! From Niall Macs claims in the interview it appears that there is some underhand work at play from the outside looking in. For the three applicants there appears to be a force at play that they are all aware of, leading to all three resignations if this is true (I a...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurling Management 2012

Yea, Alan Cunningham is or was a teacher at St Caimans in Shannon. He played for Clare for a good few years in the 80s and maybe even early 90s before succumbing to a knee injury. He would be well respected as a coach and has been involved in a few Clare teams in the last few years. He served as a c...

Re: Clara vs Edenderry 9/10/11

Definitely agree with some of the points made already. The high ball into reynolds was never a runner with two men back on him. Though reynolds played well and was probably clara's best on the day, he must have been rightly frustrated with the supply and the kicking options from out the field in the...

Re: new football manager

The time is ticking away and the panel are at work trying to procure the new manager or management team. I think it is very important that this is done ASAP so that they can see the championship q finals and the finish of the championships to identify a panel to work with. Any ideas who are in the ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurling Management 2012

excellent post GDFTP, enjoyed reading it and spot on. the reason the underage is so far back is because the co board continuously put the wrong people over teams consistently. they have zero knowledge of what is required at co level these days and put legend medalists in because they are able to sho...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Club Championship 2011

fair play brian mac for saying what you said, many wouldnt have the ba**s to admit to errors of judgement on a forum like this. What happened was wrong, but more importantly what was said was wrong. Ciaran macmanus has given his adult life to playing for offaly and is highly respected for it by 99% ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurling Club Championship 2011

Rynaghs by seven or eight for me i reckon. Tullamore still minus a lot of their main players. They drew with a very poor clareen team the last day. Clareen appeared to be set up totally wrong with eanna murphy at FF and tom carroll at midfield which is ludicrous in my opinion. Clareen have some good...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Club Championship 2011

Apparently Williamson walked out of Tullamore over two months ago when things started going bad and was then disappointed that he wasnt selected for Edenderry game and decided to leave. Probably a good footballer but always seemed to be to be more interested in himself looking good than the team win...
