Great topic llkj. Video analysis is absolutely critical in all sports these days. At the top level, things are dissected on a blow-by-blow level such as you have done in you opening piece. The IRFU have retained Mervin Murphy as a DVD analyst for more than 10 years . After every game, a player can g...

Seeing as there is pretty much nothing positive to take from either game in O Moore Park, let’s allow ourselves to wallow even further in our collective misery and pick out the most miserable looking Offaly fans who soldiered on through that part of the day. Some fairly glum-looking jersey wearers t...

Didn't manage to get a programme at the game.

Would anyone who did list all of the subs on the panel?

Marty ‘the Blowfish’ Morrissey’s show last night was more of the same from RTE Some producer who knows nothing about hurling : “Right, where are the bigger populations between these two and where are there more of the right ABC demographic for our advertisers” Researcher : “Wexford 145,320, Offaly 7...

I can just picture it now … …P. Diddy Teehan sippin the good stuff in the wrap-around couch with his gold jewellery and hoes .. observing proceedings … …Handy Andy Gallagher busting some tunes on the decks … …Jesus Christy Todd and Brendan “fightin tooth-n-nail” Ward playing craps at the ‘Don’ table...

In fairness to the journalist - he’ll do, and write whatever it takes to get the interview. Heavy duty ego-massage is a vital component for journalists when securing interviews with local sports personalities these days. Some local sports celebrities feel the same sense of entitlement as Premiership...

One thing I’ve always been curious about is how many of the posters on this forum are abroad (for whatever reasons).

I gather Man from Ferbane , Kevin and AZ Offaly are all ‘out foreign’.

Who else is based abroad and where as a matter of interest?

Throw in some fairly prominent 'pocket billiards' from Johnny Flaherty in 1981 and Finbarr Cullen in 1997 - safe to say we haven’t quite distinguished ourselves on the steps of Ardan O’Hógain!

“Ollie baker getting too much money not to know what was going on" The latest brainfart from Regan on twitter. Lads like Regan think they are on a barstool when they are doodling on their I-Phones. Twitter is what it is and you can be held to account for anything you say, unlike what is said on...

Anyone catch the Coolderry Man on 2fm this morning giving it loads during the quiz vs the Lough Lane Gaels Nurse?

"Up Coolderry ..... Common the Green and Whites .... Yeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup !"

If that doesn't whet the appetite , what would? Didn't know the hurled for the Volunteer Cup in Antrim - no prisoners taken in that! Listening to Dathi and Niall Patterson on the radio this eve your reminded how great an occasion It is a for both sides and hopefully the 'good looking' men (as Marty ...

Firstly regarding Sunday, it was nothing short of a shocker. I know it’s only the second round of the league but that kind of defeat can linger in the back of lad’s minds for a long time. Look at Limerick after ’04. That game was won, over, done and what happened was a gut-wrenching. All the more so...

Question for the footballing crowd on this forum – did any of ye think it was odd that GC went off for that charity trip to Africa as an incumbent intercounty manager during a platying season? Personally I thought it was odd (although I’ve a huge amount of respect for anyone who does those kind of t...

Thanks KM - I stand corrected - that's what I get for not attending live!

There goes my observation about centrefield too!

Good point Townman about waiting for buses.

With all the football focus going on, there’s a not insignificant NHL tie in Wexford Park this weekend – a quick return to the South East following the Walsh Cup tie there last month. While the Yellowbellies had an experimental side that day, they will be eager to lift themselves off the canvass aft...
