no more than most above, all make very valid and proper points, no word of selectors, I am thinking he will probably bring in some of his Coolderry contingent with him, a Lusmagh man surely (not sure what John Troy is at at the moment or if he would be suited)...he would have a few wingmen and may g...

to be honest reading all above, and all that has happened Offaly hurling, not only over the last few years, but going back to the 2000 All Ireland when many believe was the beginning of the end..Ill go back a little further, and the leinster finals of 1998,99, and 2000, we were well beaten in one or...

having chatted an avid hurling fan who was at Saturdays game, he informs me even he has now accepted Offaly are "gone" for the foreseeable future. First touch was ferociously poor and fitness was, well he said he couldn't believe it. Coaching and fitness will of course fix the forementione...

Westmeath did win promotion be it from Division 2A, where we are replacing them next season, we played in 1B against stronger opposition, which yes, we were not able to match and hence got relegated, but I did think our decent showing last week against Laois, would trigger a bit of moral and team pl...

Lordy me, Ime geting lambasted elsewhere for daring to predict an Offaly win there during the week, where did I get my prediction from?...Westmeath did win promotion ve it from Division 2A, where we are replacing them next season, we played in 1B against slightly stronger opposition, which yes, we w...

just to see how people are thinking on this game..Ime going for Offaly to win. Offaly 3-18 Westmeath 2-15

Isnt it kind of scary to think lesser teams (such as Offaly) may not win a provincial final again (at least anytime soon), realistically, we wont win an All Ireland (again anytime soon)..so once the weaker teams get knocked out in their province, they get a few qualifier games, eventually getting be...

I would imagine we are slight favourites, we have a game under our belt and performed pretty decently (I know we lost but Laois would be the strongest in it in my view)...having said Offaly are favourites, I think we will struggle abit, but should win....if we don't we can throw our hats at it..

all due repsects to Westmeath, Kerry & Antrim but going on form, the Laois game was the one I, and I think a few knew might be the hardest. Westmeath will be very hard beat too, but we SHOULD be beating them, Kerry, and with a bit of a puff Antrim, but having lost one game its going to be tough....

credit where it is due, all will know of how skeptical I was of us putting in a decent shift and getting sufficient scores to win, I could not attend yesterday and while we still lost, by all accounts it was a great performance and we could and probably should have won the game..its a great bounce g...

very possible, we might get a moral victory maybe alright....I doubt it..hope I am wrong, as I say, just cannot see us scoring freely enough to win...

Laois had a better league than us, they hurled some excellent hurling in some of their matches, beat Offaly easily enough in the league, despite Offaly finishing strongly to make the score a bit closer (4 points I think in the end)...I think Laois's midfield and forwards are just that little bit str...

not that I heard..Midland Tribune were running with Eoghan Cahill in goals, Ben Conneely, Pat Calmon, Shane Dooley and Oisin Kelly as probably definite starters, the listed all the injured players, Connor Mahon I think they said is fit again, interesting to see if he will start...

I cannot see us being blessed with the result or the score of the 1997 Leinster Final somehow!...

just said I would start this and see how many will have a go and who will be nearest the score (or correct even)
Ime going for: Meath 2-15 Offaly 1-13
