I'd agree that the the moment Munster teams have the upper hand, but these things are cyclical. Anyway, the only reason I suggested the Munster/ Rest of Ireland scenario is that the abolition of the munster championship is always used as a stumbling block to real reform. If counties were happy to ac...

System Failure
So Offaly's interest in the Championships ends for another year. There'll be plenty of opinion about how we performed and where we go from here from others on this site I'm sure and I'll leave that to them. Suffice it to say that we're at a low ebb, but then we've been there and back before. What's ...

I agree with BnM's analysis there except for Gary's role as main ball-winner - for a lad of his height you much more often saw his marker coming away with the clean catch yesterday. Offaly did scrap for all the loose ball yesterday and showed great guts and will in that area, which was indeed good t...

Is it not that Kilkenny are simply better than us and 29-31 other counties also. I think he meant that Kilkenny are better than 29 - 31 other counties (allowing for Waterford and Cork I assume), and not that 29 -31 counties are better than us. Not that I'm bothered or wanted to fight someone elses ...

So it's the Dubs. After being charmed by some of their number coming out of Croker last year I was hoping they'd go down...("Jayzz yiz were Offaly bad today lads! Ha ha ha ha." "Good one Anto! Ha ha ha ha.") My main reason to be honest for not wanting the Dubs to come through was...

Can I just celebrate figuring out how to upload an avatar by telling everybody to CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN! Thought that was funny myself, I am very easily pleased though. As somebody who was at the Carlow + Waterford double header a few years ago (and stayed to the end of both despite being from the bi...

Brilliant result, fair play to the lads. Best way to respond to going through a hard time is to come out all guns blazing as they obviously did today. This result gives great credibility to McIntyre's plea that Offaly be kept in Div 1, though I thought myself that we had no grounds to complain, goin...

You're spot on Turk, An Fhéir Bháin is the tuisil ginideach of An Féar Bán. Good to see another Offaly great getting recognition after the recent Dooleys programme. Best pound for pound GAA county in the country! (By the way, is there any way of proving this claim scientifically? For use in pub argu...

Can't believe your man from Moorefield is still banging on. Has he no friends to talk to? Also has he not noticed practically every other post congratulating Moorefield on their historic win? Nobody likes losing, so to lose with good grace is admirable. It's a whole lot easier to be magnanimous in v...

Howya lads, another Newbie here. Naturally most of the press attention will be hogged by the onfield violence but to be honest that's not the biggest problem I have with the International Rules series. Basically, it doesn't work as a game. You'd forgive the flare ups and the press slagging matches i...
