Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
So it’s “just the bookies odds” when they don’t suit your narrative but when they do such as having Offaly as favourites in the Joe Mcdonagh you’re all about them… Can’t have it both ways or maybe you do back both ways :lol: If them odds are to change I’d fully expect it to be in the direction of m...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
In the end, it was quintessentially a Division 3 vs. Division 4 matchup. Leix had momentum and confidence, but it wasn't enough. Leix were a fraction slower in their reactions and a fraction sloppy with the ball at times. In Division 4, you get away with that stuff. Their lack of sharpness was the b...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
Galway have made full use of the wind and Dublin have left themselves a mountain to climb. 7 or 8 points down and maybe they'd have a chance. 12 points, hardly.

Re: U20 footballers 2024
Anyway, it could be worse.
Imagine if Offaly had grabbed a win against Longford only to find out that Kildare had very helpfully let Louth come back from 9 points behind to lose by 2 points...

Re: U20 footballers 2024
Who knows why management settles on a certain style or game plan, but they usually factor in the group's strengths and weaknesses and build around that. Going back to 2021 at minor, Offaly were quite comprehensively beaten by Dublin that year. Also, the players on this panel, who are tipped for a br...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
But it's shows the courage and ambition of this group who are really punching above their weight. Punching above their weight? The core of the team got to the All Ireland final last year. Now being a year older, they will be doing everything they can to train, prepare and think like a team aiming t...

Re: Offaly Minor Football 2024
Any idea if Joe Rouse is eligible or not? I don't think so one of the players were telling me Longford handed them a letter before the game. I'd imagine he'll have to move club first So he’s trained all year and it wasn’t checked out that he could play???? He played for them last year as well.

Re: U20 footballers 2024
The way I look at it......It is still within Offaly's control. However, they need to win by 8 points or more in order for other results not to matter for them to finish in top 2. Unfortunately Offaly's scoring against Longford won't be counted in the 3-way Offaly, Kildare and Louth tie breaker. Off...

Re: U20 footballers 2024
Not ideal. Offaly just need to look after their part against Longford, but their fate isn't fully in their control.
We just need Louth to get a draw or better, or else Kildare to win handsomely.

Re: U20 footballers 2024
Does anyone know what the scoring difference tie-breaker will be if Offaly, Kildare and Louth end up on 4 points?
Is it overall scoring difference for all 3 games, or scoring difference in the games amongst the tied teams?

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
Offaly should have been comfortably home and dry there, but Dublin gave them plenty to think about in the last 20 minutes. Agree that the conditions and the pitch were very awful, which suited Dublin more and helped keep them in the game. Offaly's hurling was ahead of Dublin's but they brought a lot...

Re: Offaly Minor Football 2024
With Dublin in the group and expected to finish on top, second place doesn't look possible now.
Best outcome is for Offaly to put in a much better display against Leix and then give the Dubs a rattle in the final game.
