Offaly vs Tipperary - 2014 All-Ireland SHC qualifier Round 2

[kingscounty]

Its a disgrace the way lads come on here and single players out and then talk bull about why such a lad isn't on the team. Players playing with any team county or club have the right to come and go and do what they like without their every move been watched and noted. Get out tomorrow night and hurl your best and give it everything and drown out everything else there will always be someone to knock lads down , even the day before the match , UNREAL.

I have to agree. How in god's name is Sean Ryan starting. Did Whelan not see him in Ballycastle @ all. Does he not remember taking him off @ half time.

I just wonder would Sean Ryan get yet another chance if he was playing for Crinkle.

"I just wonder would Sean Ryan get yet another chance if he was playing for Crinkle."

I suppose he would as being from Crinkle, their is every chance he would turn in a "Crisp" performance

Get it? Crinkle....Crisp... ah well!!!

[townman]

they are not as committed as other counties all you have to do is look at the fitness of our team. Ger Loughlane is a Shit but he call it right about the size and fitness of some of the offaly players . the first game in the league after Ger made them comments prove his point again laois with certain players way over weight for inter county hurling and he was prove right as they got a run around again laois.

even down in wexford park for the under 21 on the 25 of june their were about at least 7 player's who weren't at the races as far as fitness goes and some of them were in with the senior panel since january. fair enough they put in the time for the county but theres a few who are not letting other players a chance because of their Name and Club and thats a big problem in offaly over the years.

get it good one, we might as well have a laugh over it every other county is laughing at us we might as well join them, did you heard the one about sky not doing anymore offaly matches in nowlan park
not unless kilkenny get bouncing castles at half time to intertain the crowd at half time.........

I really hope this is better than Nolan park. will still go to the match but the thoughts of having to listen to the Tipp supporters even if we do perform well and loose by a few points.
I expect to stay with them for about 50 or 60 min and Tipp to pull away and will by about 10 in the end. hopefully we could sneek a goal or 2 early on and give them something to think about. very concerned about half back line not been able to win puck outs

Interesting quote from Loughnane " a lot of the Offaly team are more recognisable than the Wexford players". Very true statement and those Wexford lads put up some performance last weekend. I think it shows us that when you run through the offaly we have a lot of great great players but for reason or another they are just not putting it in. Surely there is one collective team performance in them. Wouldn't it be great to witness Dooley or Bergin bang in 3 or 4 goals tomorrow, god knows they are capable!

Yes, it would be great.

We can always hope.

No better time to catch fire.

Good luck and best wishes to all involved today , empty the tank .

Bloody hell We get back to 2 pts & then a stupid line ball played into the middle instead of up the line

[kingscounty]

Playing a sweeper and hitting ball to spare Tipp man again , what is he at

[backofthenet]

Lads this is so disheartening tipp are walking through for goals. It's the same old same old

The forwards run around, tackle poorly to give away a free or let the man break the tackle, our backs try hard but hit the ball anywhere.

And most of all my biggest bugbear we are terrible at set pieces.

We had 3 line balls and none of them has gone more than 10 yards or above 1 yard in height. All three have went to tipp men, only one of them fumbled to Carroll for a point.

Tipp 5-25 Offaly 1-20 , another year with nothing .
