Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
It's unfortunate, but I believe Offaly need to start with a strongish team. The downsides of putting out an experimental team - It sends a message to Offaly players that this game will be a cakewalk and doesn't need to be taken seriously - It fires up Meath. - The game will inevitably be a closer co...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
3 out of the 4 teams that finish in 3rd place will go into Preliminary Quarter finals.
Finishing top 3 should be straightforward for Offaly, but if we're scraping through like that, it doesn't bode well for the remainder of the tournament.

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Yesterday was nothing to do with tactics. Dublin are on a different level physique wise. It was like Dublin seniors playing the Dublin minors in a challenge match. I know a lot of the Offaly lads and I know the work they put in at training and even the days they aren't training . I'm not sure how D...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Morning after the night before and it's raining. Lol We are better than the tactics used yesterday You can't fault the players attitude but there is questions over the management tactics . You could right a thesis on the game but simple fact Dublin are in a different universe .. Hopefully we will l...

Declan Kelly should get Superhans75 to do all future team talks! His motivational skills and positivity are off the scale.

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Beforehand I reckoned a 12 point loss would be a very good outcome and a 30 point loss, a very bad one. So it wasn't the worst day all things considered. Offaly were 12 behind after 65 minutes but the inevitable Dublin onslaught was coming down the tracks. And make no mistake, Dublin tried to pile o...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
Meath's poor showing is a good omen for Offaly. The Kerry game is 3 weeks away and Offaly need that time to allow injured players recover.JohnnyBoy24 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 6:26 pm Laois put up a cricket score on meath today , expect us to do the same with little fuss.

Plenty of central tickets available now, that they had previously held back:

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
The build up has been nice and low key. The main chatter has been about Leinster being a dead duck and Dublin ruining it. There is no great motivation for Dublin to go out and play like lunatics. Dublin certainly have no point to prove after an easy game against Meath. Every bit helps. Offaly can le...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
There was a massive 6 point swing in about 30 seconds. Offaly failed to convert a goal chance to go 9 ahead and Leix swept up the other end to goal and get it back to 3. Leix would never have pulled it back from 9 down. But that's where Offaly weren't clinical and paid for it. After that Offaly didn...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
Offaly's scoring rate tailed off after 50 minutes in the league games. A more sustainable pace of play will be needed in the McDonagh games.

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
There's a good chance, you'll be able to move to a better seat if the crowd is sparce.
Look out for Louth and Kildare ones leaving after their game too. Diesel to be laundered and stables to be mucked out.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
For what it's worth, there wasn't much between the teams last year. Offaly's ability to get goals at the right time was a big factor in the win. A lot happens in a year, and that fixture is not really relevant now. Granted Offaly should benefit from playing in the higher division, but that doesn't g...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Kildare gave a Dublin a good game last year in the Leinster semi and were leading until the last 10 minutes, but Dublin eventually won by 2.
Louth felt the backlash the next day when Dublin won by 21 points.

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
The perfect result for Offaly in Croke Park today. We didn't want Meath giving Dublin a fright. We didn't want Meath banging in late consolation goals to make Dessie start doing a video review. Meath lost by 16 and the expectation is that Offaly will perform worse than Meath. Offaly have a free shot...
