Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
The folks still complaining would want to get their heads straight. 3 years ago Offaly were on the 2nd attempt to get out of the Christy Ring Cup - in the same competition as Sligo, Roscommon and Wicklow. In 2022, Offaly's first two league games saw two heavy defeats to Galway and Cork by 17 and 19 ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
This is a point gained and not a point lost. Remember that Offaly were beaten until the Duignan goal. Wexford missed a gimme with their last shot. No use weeping over the wides. They didn't go over. They're a stat everyone understands, but many other things go wrong that don't get quantified in the ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
5 Durrow lads on the team, apparently. They must have published the football lineup accidentally. Apparently? I think it’s fairly clear that there is. It speaks testament to the great work going on in the B/D club. It also reflects changing demographics, as 2 of the players are sons of former count...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Had the Furlong chance been scored, then it's a very different game. Though that doesn't mean Offaly would have won it. Westmeath just wouldn't have had a lead they could roost on for the second half. It's going to take a couple of more games for Offaly to get motoring. In the middle eight, Carroll,...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
It's a brave selection overall but clearly Kelly wants to put his own stamp on the team. We may see the ball getting moved a bit quicker, but the conditions could make it difficult. Westmeath are a step up in a few different ways. They're more established and also had the benefit of an extended run ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
It was pretty close to a full strength offaly team though. If you’re arguing that we need our strongest 15 and not capable of beating that kind of dublin team with 75% of our starters then we really are in trouble. If you make 8 substitutions in a game, you are prioritising giving players game time...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
I wouldn't read much into the O'Byrne Cup. Dublin beat Wexford 5-17 to 1-11 last weekend sure. Longford only made 2 substitutions in normal time yesterday, which shows they were putting a big emphasis on winning instead of trying lads out. If Offaly had taken the same approach as Longford did, they...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
And yet Westmeath beat Wexford in a game of consequence last year. We certainly aren't on those teams level at the moment but we will be with time. As great a win as it was, Wexford had built up a 17 point lead in that game, which is a pointer to the gap that exists. The freak part of the game was ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
While Down were a disappointment in the the Tailteann final, I think they are on an upward trajectory.

The Summer of ’98 podcasts - Michael Foley
I've been listening to most of these episodes and I'd highly recommend them. Michael Foley recalls in great detail the events of a truly memorable summer. To this day there has never been a hurling championship like it for controversies, plot twists, and chaos. It fully warrants the running time as ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
"There is nothing to be learned from playing Galway again" - There is plenty to be learned. This is a Mulligan for Offaly. Analyse the 55 minutes from Sunday, try to correct the mistakes and then get a better scoreline next time. "The result was a foregone conclusion" - It was a ...
