Re: Allianz FL Division 4 2013

Great to get the win and promotion and the players looked delighted afterwards however that was a shocking performance and a shocking game of football.The type of football Offaly played today was diabolical, why do our half forward line have to play so deep, it is the main reason we continually hand...

Re: Allianz FL Division 4 2013

Mulhall along with Niall McNamee are the first 2 names on the team sheet.Mulhall is a terrific goalie and personally Offaly don't have good enough players at the moment to be trying anything fancy with kickouts.You'd want to have huge confidence in your wing backs to be trying a short kickouts strat...

Re: GAA Congress 2013

I agree with your sentiment, DAF. I suspect it will lead to placing more blame on referees though. We should give it a chance and see how it pans out. GAA go black to the future! Have we not enough cards already, :) :) consistent refereeing is all that's needed, regardless of who is playing, and wh...

Re: Allianz-Hurling-league 1B

Limerick 0-21 Offaly 3-8 Good performance in the first 25 minutes terrible for the rest, to score only 1-1 and the goal was fairly lucky in the second half is terrible , Bakers tactics were shocking in the second half, playing Brian Carroll as a sweeper where he had zero impact just invited Limerick...

Re: All Ireland Club Hurling Championship 2012-2013

First sending off was very harsh a yellow at most.Second yellow card for the second sending off was correct in my opinion.Dan Currams was a big loss.

Re: Allianz FL Division 4 2013

Offaly 2-11 Carlow 1-11 Great to get a win today, we looked to be slipping in the last 15 minutes but 2 quick fire goals sealed the win for us.I thought Richie Dalton played very well in the second half, Paul McConway was very good in the first half.When we were positive we looked decent and the fir...

Re: Allianz-Hurling-league 1B

People around me were fairly frustrated with the referee pulling up players for too many steps however the ref was correct on the calls regarding steps, its just that the steps rule has been ignored by most referees for so long.

Re: Allianz-Hurling-league 1B

Great to get a win although I'd say Wexford will be disappointed they didnt win, they missed a huge amount of chances including 2 very easy frees in the first half.Our forward line struggled at times and we don't have enough ball winners in the forward line the ball came back very quickly too many t...

Re: Allianz FL Division 4 2013

Townman,I have to take issue over Niall Smith. He is potentially the best midfielder in the county. However, the best are the ones who can commit. He cant match the committment that his manager wants because of his job, so thats it? Its a conundrum, but dont tell me he wouldnt offer more than ALan ...

Re: Allianz FL Division 4 2013

The decision to take Peter Cunnigham off was mystifying. He was one of the few Offaly players who played well while he was on.

Re: Allianz FL Division 4 2013

Terrible performace from Offaly.Sadly it looks like we are getting worse as each league match passes.The good results in the O'Byrne cup look to be more due to the oppositions incompetence rather than our good play. We have no midfield and to top it off we have no kickout strategy and our kickouts t...
