Re: Offaly Vs Kilkenny Leinster Hurling Championship

If its a dummy team ... with KK ... methinks a futile exercise that will only pique their focus. If they line out as selected (which as POTH says is in Bliztzkrieg … almost Kamikaze… formation), at least he can point to some departure from the tactics which haven’t worked since what … 1998? In defen...

Re: Offaly Panel

If anyone doesn’t know the net income and financial liabilities of anyone who is taking two jobs they should shut their f&*ing traps before they comment on whether it is right for them to have two jobs. Beyond expenses, we are talking about an amateur sport and people need to be aware of that be...

Re: "Tullamore West"

Back to the initial thread …. Rather than simply publishing the usual “we’ll fill every pothole” pre-election manifesto before the next local and national elections, wouldn’t it make a lot of sense for Fine Gael to simply distribute a simple summary of:- 1. the variation proposal, 2. the OPWs opinio...

"Who’s this Cillian Kiely lad anyway?

All this talk … unless his auld lad or uncle was on the 81 or 98 teams or any of the Birr teams he’s not worth talking about.

Re: Hurling Man – a Breed Apart

Dathi ??? Is that you (JohnnyB) ??

I know it’s been a rough few weeks for you what with your hero Gareth Bale going over on the ankle and all the eulogising of the Iron Lady coming from across the pond.

Re: Hurling Man – a Breed Apart

Offaly Hurling Man believes propagandists of the ‘traditional counties’ were the start of the myth that it took the arrival of Brother Vincent and Diarmuid Healy on the Offaly hurling scene to make all-Ireland success possible. All Ireland success for Offaly was predestined then as it remains now.

Re: Hurling Man – a Breed Apart

1. Offaly Hurling Man still has the faded Guinness Hurling Championship sticker from the mid-nineties on the back window of the car which allows him to daydream back to that time. 2. Offaly Hurling Man like to remind everyone from other counties that Offaly have every position filled on the Allstars...

Re: Allianz-Hurling-league 1B

Firstly don’t know about the house music as a backing track … for some of the fare on view, the Benny Hill soundtrack might have been more appropriate! These local productions are one-eyed by nature but in the first half Antrim looked like they were making all the running. Their whole demeanour and ...

Re: Allianz-Hurling-league 1B

I think you’ll find that it’s Regan who was dragging the players into it:- Regan went on to question the manhood of the current team, suggesting that whatever about talent, they are mentally nothing like the side he was a part of that reached the top in 1994. “It’s not new either. I spoke some harsh...

Of relevance to this topic as posted in the league thread … If he took issue with the good-time-Charlie perception around the 90s side back in the day certainly that’s the first I’ve heard of it.
