Re: Respect
For the simple reason that an average time analysis of my posts would cause some alarm for my employer I wont be identifying myself. Some PM'ers know me by name. There are a few posters (particularly in the hurling side) who contribute nothing other than to diminish the reputation of this site furth...

Re: Offaly v Kilkenny
Offaly secretary Tommy Byrne insists the county have top-class floodlit facilities for their inter-county teams. Byrne was responding to revelations this week by hurling manager Brian Whelahan that his side was forced to train in Tipperary earlier this season due to a lack of suitable venues in thei...

Thanks Lad.

Re: Offaly v Kerry 12 April Thurles
A young fit Kerry team showed up with a strong finish in the Div. 2 final and from reading the reports they are over the moon about the outcome but it didn't come from nowhere. Causeway Comprehensive has been making great strides at schools level over the last few years and you have the tradition of...

Re: Personal Attakcs on Individuals
This site is being given a bad name by a few and the administrators (who give of their time to host the site) should where possible, act quickly to remove them. It’s very clear who the irritants are and who are contributing to a meaningful and open discussion at a time when there are many issues aro...

Re: Offaly V Antrim part 1
Whelahan: when it came to the real fight, we didn't want it In a damning analysis of their relegation play-off display, manager Brian Whelahan says his players weren't up for the fight against Antrim. The Faithful legend pulled no punches in his assessment of their 1-14 to 1-18 defeat to the Saffron...

Re: Offaly V Antrim part 1
Very thoughtful posts by POTH and Suckindesil. On the game itself, did anyone travel and can they shed more light on the conditions, the use of the sweeper in the first half? Also Paul Shiels (lining out at 7) seems to have taken the game by the scruff of the neck. I'd be interested to hear how our ...

Re: 2014 WALSH Cup
Am I missing something here lads? Regardless of personnel involved, the time of the year, the man and the dog in the stand or indeed the opposition, this was a six point victory after being 6 points down facing into half time. http://www.independent.ie/sport/hurling/whelahan-delight-at-offaly-heart-...

Re: Leinster club hurling and football 2013
Dreamland stuff for the club.. It really is hard to convey the then and the now in terms of the journey Ballinamere-Durrow Hurling has been on. One of the refreshing things about yesterday was how panellists from the IHC stage stepped up and played their part as starters. Without doubt Seamus McKeog...

Re: 2013 - The year in review
Mighty stuff… At the risk of stereotyping, I was expecting the collaboration partner would be - shall we say – ethnically compatible with your avatars.. rather than Billy Joel! How about a HSM / Ice Cube collaboration on ‘Today was a Good Day’ on the OB cup win over Laois or the league win over Tipp...

Re: Offaly county team managements 2014
The headline below probably says it all. I was waiting to hear from the man himself on his intentions and I like what I am reading in this article. I like the fact that he made a plan during the summer to get involved in county management at some level so his acceptance of the job was not one made i...

Re: Offaly county team managements 2014
This is why I log onto uibhfhaile.com - for debate of this quality – some excellent contributions. BNMM make a fair point – who have we exported to coach the ‘Offaly Way’? The likes of JP, BW, MD, CF and KM to club sides in Leix, Galway and on the inter-county side to the likes of Meath and Westmeat...

Re: inter hurling championship
Heartbreak isn’t the word for it puzzled. Traditionally, the Durrow/Ballinamere divided along the lines of football and hurling but the usual amalgamation-related issues that, in fairness, are experienced by many clubs around the country surfaced over time with each club carrying its own share of ba...

Re: Offaly county team managements 2014
Ahlethimoutwithit it’s clear from your posts that you’re involved in underage coaching and for that , hats off to you. As you appear to regularly allude to - many could be involved but choose not to be. For obvious reasons, not everyone can commit to coaching. In my view, Danny Owens ought to have b...
