Certainly some junior teams are very reliant on lads that are working and maybe living up in Dublin/Galway or elsewhere. Games on week days dont always suit especially at junior level when alot of lads would be just playing to make up numbers or very casually involved. Chances are if games are fixed...

Lads my view is S&C is not the big problem. Offalys problem is that we dont have the quality player numbers. The impact of this is that with all due respect, lads who are decent hurlers walk onto an offaly county panel. The same players would not get near a county training squad in other countie...

I agree with alot of this. I dont like how Cork went about their game plan on Sunday but nevertheless it is fair to say in sport, teams do what they have to do to win. Look at Dublin who are seen as one of the great teams in football. They pulled every stunt they could to get over Kerry and Mayo in ...

Well done to the young panel on a tremendous season winning Leinster and putting in a brave display in the All Ireland final on Sunday when the breaks were not going their way. They showed great character in battling to the end. The squad carried themselves very well in how they play the game with s...

Ultimately despite the debate over the officiating, we had more than enough chances to win the game and win it with a bit to spare. 26 wides is a bad stat. And there was a good few very poor shots that dropped short too. In fairness Carlow didnt miss much. Their shooting I thought was excellent thro...

but if we just focus on ourselves and do what we do best, we'll have a good chance. How dare anyone say that! I am outraged! I mean to think that he could say that they "have a good chance". Let's get a grip here folks. No wonder the players are told to say nothing. "Hopefully, we co...

Read an interview with Cork captain Michael Mullins. He scored a cracking goal in the munster final. The thing that struck me was an exceptional level of confidence. Some will say arrogance. I dunno if it is but it did strike me as the belief that they feel they are better. "That's in the past ...

Ticketmaster have it as low availability since yesterday so must be closing in on a sell out. One of the stands was sold out earlier in the week. How exactly can it be closing in on a sell out if there are 22,000 available terrace spots free to be utilised if needs be? Well its a sell out if all av...

Carlow have had a fair degree of success against Offaly in recent years and will come to Croke Park quietly confident. It started in 2005 in the league when they beat Offaly in the league, 3-12 to 1-13. The usual shouts of 'new low' and 'rock bottom' rang out. When the sides met again in the league...

For me, the weekend before the leaving cert should have been straight up non runner for Offaly and refuse to play it. You cannot expect lads doing leaving cert to be preparing for the biggest game they have ever played in to be 3 days before starting their exams. We talk about player welfare and all...

would it not make more sense to move the mcdonagh final back a week?

its unacceptable that leaving cert students are pushed into playing a few days before their exams. surely common sense comes into the thought process with fixture makers?

Huge respect for and pride in our U20 hurlers last night. A game that alot of things were going against them in but they really stuck to the task. The work rate in the last 10 minutes or so when Wexford were really pushing to finish us off was incredible. Ref watch - I found him frustrating. Maybe i...

Am I right in saying that Offaly are fixed to play London in football at home and Carlow away in the hurling on the same day?????
