I see that Will O’Callaghan has cited this comment on Twitter. His name never even registered with me when seeing the letters WOC, which show the absurdity of the comment. He presents The Inside Line of a Sunday, and does a good job of it (bit too much soccer by times ).(sometimes a little bit too much Westmeath too!)offalys future2 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2019 10:58 pm It's unreal 8 years on and to see the same nonsense with Offaly GAA.
There is this line been peddled out at the moment that things are going great. Are people fuckin serious. The senior hurlers are not even eligible for the walsh cup ffs. And apart from 2 lucky draws in the qualifiers the footballers would be in the same boat as they always are.
Its very interesting to see outside of match scores how the twitter has increased no end over the past 2 months.
There is still no plan in place for the future of Offaly GAA.
Duignan i hope gets in. He along with Kieran Keenaghan and their committee raised the money for the faithful fields it had nothing to do with Tommy Byrne.
What is very obvious over the past few years is that as the county GAA has been totally mismanaged there are quite a few people that have filled the airwaves and newspapers with pure and utter tripe in order to enhance their profile. Namely - K.E, P.N, M.V, WOC, JT, BG, DR ..............the list goes on.

it's not their role to wash offaly's dirty linen in public which has happened on many occasions.
1. Speaking on National Radio highlighting that players liked a tweet from another player
2. Speaking on National Radio telling lies regarding events involving a player during/after a football game
3. Speaking on National Radio slating interim management
4. Speaking on National Radio slating Offaly county board and events that happened 10 years previously when he was on county panel
5. Pushing a vendetta against current chairman on social media for the past 6 years
6. Speaking on local radio slating team management and decisions they have made on several occasions
7. Publishing articles in national papers on several low key incidents in offaly gaa
8. Non supportive and ongoign critic of people who join the county board to do good
On Joe Troys comments on Twitter last night, Byrne made a business decision that he felt that Offaly TV could be better ran by the county board(which I think it is) in its new form. Byrne was asked by the interviewee about that and gave his reply and never referenced Joe Troy. Perhaps he spoke to the guy (name i cannot remember) who was behind the initial start up. I actually thought Troy was just the commentator for it and nothing else(I could be wrong). Also every county board chairman has to make tough decisions in which people may not be happy with, would Duignan if chairman have gone along with Troy and went with their Offaly TV idea even if it was not the best decision for the County Board?NewEra wrote: ↑Thu Nov 28, 2019 10:44 am Joy Troy rightfully weighing in last night on Twitter regarding the upcoming contest for chairman after the Tribune allowed Byrne to tarnish his name without right to reply. I cannot understand how people can support Tommy Byrne and I find it unfathomable that he will more than likely win the upcoming vote. He is at the centre of controversy after controversy and is all that is wrong with Offaly GAA. I have no faith in club delegates for change however...I would love to see them cut the head off the snake and watch the rest leave with him but I don't hold out much hope.
These are the real issues here! And not two egos going head to head. Also something not right about other candidates pulling out if Duignan doesn’t get chairman role.private joker wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2019 11:43 am What are the pros and cons to the two men? On the face of it, what can be done by the chairman in reality. The level that Offaly find themselves at now are in my view not down to the holder of the chairmanship. For now, there are two good senior mgt teams at senior level. Hopefully success will come in the hurling as they have more scope to improve than the footballers who are playing at a higher standard .Coaching and games operating as well to be expected in the last 3 to 4 years. The real issue that I see, which I could be wrong on , is the lack of engagement from clubs to up skill their coaches and progress players on to reach their full potential. There is a skills assessment going on at development squads and players who enter system at u13 level in the vast majority cannot strike a ball of both sides. This is before they even reach development squads.
The chairperson as you correctly say, cannot do much about the decline in standards of county teams. We don't have the players at the moment to challenge at the top level. There are good management teams in stu for the footballers and hurlers.allstar2010 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2019 12:59 pmThese are the real issues here! And not two egos going head to head.

I can't let this go unchallenged or not picked up - this is a disgraceful comment. There is absolutely no call for personal abuse of anyone on this forum, it is way beyond the pale in terms of what's acceptable.greenairfield wrote: ↑Thu Nov 28, 2019 11:50 pm If Mr.Byrne and his buddies do get in again I suppose the only bright side of it is I can say I told you so in 5 years or 10 years time...pack of uneducated monkeys!
Sure Offaly is flying it!
