Re: Offaly Hurling team for championship v Dublin

in relation to development of players etc as related to by other posters, i think that there are a lot of issues involved. Some have remarked that we will only get 3/4 per minor team anyway to graduate from senior level and that we are doing ok in this regard given the size of the county. I think th...

Re: offaly vs wicklow minor football

Any idea on the Offaly team for this game?? Assume a good share of the Gallen lads will be involved, though there should be a few from, rhode and vincents and one or two from banagher given club form the past few years. won't be an easy game at all. Micko's exploits the last few years has really rai...

Re: Offaly vs Tippearly NHL Round 4 13/3/2011

we all sit here and talk about Joe Dooley yea de yea de yea management etc. but the fact is you can only deal with the cards you are given. the fact is that Joe Dooley has done a reasonable job so far given that where he started when offaly hurling was on its knees. Offaly were competitive in the le...

Re: Clonmore's McPaddens and Rhode

this may have obvious repercussions for the rhode and more particularly Rhode Og club in the future and even though they may not have chased the lads, from the outside looking in it doesnt reflect too well on rhode. My point is, what will happen if another good young player comes thro belonging to b...

Re: Congratulations to Gallen CS

great win for ferbane, well done to all concerned. a lot of good work being done in schools football in the last few years and has contributed enormously to the success of co minor teams. in the past 2/3 years, Gallen Ferbane, Marys edenderry, Tullamore college and Col Iosagain portarlington have wo...

Re: OFFALY V CAVAN 06/02/2011

great win for offaly and more importantly a good solid performance and well worth the win with 6/7 points to spare. it must be put in context though, Cavan were horrendous on the day!! Mulhall was solid with good kickouts and distribution in general play. Sean pender is a dead cert for championship ...

Re: Sigerson and Fitzgibbon Competitions

This is no major surprise given the state of the offaly minor hurlers the last few years. assume dempsey will be between the sticks for ul and shane dooley is down there too, but if they dont make an effort, they will not be picked as the standard is effectively county senior standard in the top 4/5...

Re: O'Byrne Cup 2011

point taken and accepted lads, he isnt there on present form but i really feel that if himself and sullivan and a few more got their asses in gear for the county, offaly would be quite competitive again instead of pissin around with lads that everyone knows are very average club footballers. when ar...

Re: Rhode V Kilmacud

seem to have some issues there theoffalytruth, thought rhode did well the last day and were always going to be up against it. they were up against a panel of 25 serious athletes all as big as rhodes biggest. as pat spillane says, when a dumper truck hits a morris minor, guess who comes out on top. t...

Re: O'Byrne Cup 2011

Alan mcnamee looked more of a county player than most to my mind. he has the size and physique and age that he didnt have a few years ago. he was one of the reasons that rhode were so good in the first half, his distribution was excellent and he was mopping up in the half back line and distributing ...

Re: O'Byrne Cup 2011

wasnt at the game but by all accounts it was very poor with the dubs playing only half their first team and were without the kilmacud lads too. the group are miles off the pace despite reports that they are training very hard, just begs the question what the hell they are doing in training. it was v...
