Re: Offaly Minor Football and Hurling 2023
Fair play Plain of the Herbs, plenty of uninformed and blatantly outrageous comments go unchallenged on here by lads with their own agendas trying to belittle the great work our county sides are doing. It’s amazing how they are able to come out AFTER the minor footballers (and same for the hurlers) ...

Re: U20 hurlers 23
I would think closer to 30,000 would be expected in Thurles next Sunday. We’ll bring around 15k, Cork could bring up to 10k and Galway and Clare could bring 5k each. The Ardan O Riain stand was sold out early on Wednesday. Offaly will bring in excess of 15k, maybe 20k.. there was more than that fro...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023
The Wexford GAA forum (I think it’s under the Hogan Stand page of forums) really is something to behold today. I would laugh but it’s the exact same boat Offaly found themselves in 5-10 years ago. A general surmise of the posts is that: Underage set-up is all wrong, management needs to go, players n...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023
That was a very poor loais team but was very disappointed with the crowd game should have been played earlier . Great comeback but I think the team has had enough this year . 4 months of football and Liam's death has to take its toll On a very small squad of players . Hard to no what to expect agai...

Re: U20 hurlers 23
For me it's not really about the games being moved I'm more concerned that there's an attitude that offaly are in trouble without Mitchell and don't get me wrong he's brilliant but surely we have another player that can do a job maybe not as good sure but why is the narrative all about missing Mitc...

Re: U20 hurlers 23
I feel the same people who are giving out about the games being separated would be the first to moan if they were on together with Mitchell and the 2 managements facing a dilemma. If the fixture had been left where it was, we could have looked rightly stupid with Mitchell not playing in one of the g...

Re: U20 hurlers 23
Rule is for a rolling 7 day period - Day 1 morning until Day 7 night. So in this case, Sunday morning until the next Saturday night. So we should hope the game is Saturday 3rd? Makes most sense with Leaving Cert the following Wednesday Cork would be too cute to allow that happen. Anyway seems like ...

Re: U20 hurlers 23
Looks like the U20 final is being moved back a week. Pity, as it plays into Cork's hands. They get Eoin Downey back and it probably gets played in a more preferable venue for them. Everyone is saying Downey will be back but will he actually? Cork are playing the Sunday beforehand, with the 7 day ru...

Re: U20 hurlers 23
Huge respect for and pride in our U20 hurlers last night. A game that alot of things were going against them in but they really stuck to the task. The work rate in the last 10 minutes or so when Wexford were really pushing to finish us off was incredible. Ref watch - I found him frustrating. Maybe ...

Re: U20 hurlers 23
I really don't think the double header is an issue. Let him hurl the 20 final he's not a nailed on starter for the senior team and they should have enough to beat Carlow if they go about there job correctly double header in croker makes more sense. Not a nailed starter for the seniors? He is absolu...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023
That performance today wouldn’t inspire much confidence for our tailteann cup campaign. 16 scores to 11 against a team who didn’t win a game in division 4, 0-1 between three starting forwards Anton ruairi and maher. No urgency at all too many slow attacks London we’re there to be hammered any team ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023
Agree with a lot of what’s posted above, Offaly very impressive despite playing into Kerry’s hand for a lot of the early stages. Kerry had no game plan to actually try and win the game, their only plan was to move Mackessy out to half back from his sweeper role. He is a great hurler and very athleti...
