lets hope we do beat antrim. but all logic and evidence says they are playing a level above us. they should have beaten waterford last week and ran kilkenny close. meanwhile were getting good trimmings from similar level teams. and laois seem to be staying in games longer,and getting lesser beatings...

i often despair when i hear offaly people supporting kilkenny. as for donal og and loughnanne being as they are ,the kilkenny crowd were a lot worse after 98 etc..time to send them back where they came from talk. we were there too long having the cheek to regularly beat them. they were royalty after...

the bookies certainly seem to think they are 2nd after limerick..!!

maybe all these matches will stand to the team for the joe mcdonagh. win that and be more prepared for next year.. its a long road but thats whats facing us.. like galway are prob 2nd best team in ireland and cork were in last years all ireland final. thats some jump from playing sligo last year...?

im not critisising them at all. and im realistic and agree if we get 4 or 5 off the u20s of last year it will be a good return. its just the way we played tactically.?

i was at the game. i was surprised and disapointed by many things. offaly had a gale in the first half. they seemed to be tactically very naive. passing the ball diagonally over and back repeatedly wasting time instead of trying to build up a lead for the second half siege that was bound to happen?c...

as regards cillian kiely he is generally regarded (outside of offaly) as the best and most well known hurler offaly have. personally id agree that hes a huge loss to the offaly hurling team.

reading the lovely tribute there on the late great john glennon .rip.a great rhode and offaly man. i have a feeling he was the man that wrote the long lost poem..

finals are finals.winning is all that counts. im sure rynaghs are not bothered. we celebrated well in 85 after beating galway in a very bad all ireland final !!

is it alan mcnamees 2nd or 3rd final?!?

wasnt red at all..it was dark yellow!!

hard blame young lads with the demands of intercounty.specially if you are not at the top tier. sadly thats the ways its gone..

i was at the ferbane tullamore game. the old adage goals win games was never as evident here. tullamore were that bit slicker and deservedly won. ferbane minus joe maher oisin kelly and cian johnston were always facing an uphill task.ronan mcguire ferbanes liveliest forward was also injured during t...

hard see durrow beating rhode twice the one year.? and ferbane minus oisin kelly and cian johnston will hardly beat tullamore. so id say a repeat final.

the county final ferbane won was very decisive and well deserved and featured a brilliant 2 goals by cian johnston. first i heard of the ref being biased was reading the comment 2 steps back. either a shit stirrer or a disgruntled rhode person or mixture of both.?
