What now?
Still can't get Sunday's massacre out of me mind. The only consolation being that we won't meet a team like Kilkenny again this year. Unless the corner backs stay 10 yards off their men :x As for Waterford. Another very physical team who under Justin now play direct. Who stays? who goes? Offaly suff...

Referee
I see Galway's Michael Haverty is nominated to referee our match. Jeeesus, why do we always get lumped with championship debutant Galway referees when we are up against it facing physically stronger opponents. Now Haverty is said to be the best ref in Galway (thats saying something) but how many div...

HOPES AND FEARS
Keane could perhaps have taken the title of their current album from an assessment of our prospects on Sunday, as we dare to hope of what might happen if things go our way, yet that hope is tempered by the fears of the floodgates opening especially if an early Kilkenny onslaught occurs. I can’t help...

No.6.
I suppose the thing to do would be to pick a big AN Other at No. 6 and leave the Kilkenny bize to stew until Sunday aft.
Worrying that the Waterford CHF took his man for 1-6.

Sid
Is Sid plays, then Barry MUST play centre-field. The reason being that Barry is the best man to cover the hole when Sid is dragged either side. Can't wait for next week and the announcment of our team. The lineout against Waterford (which I haven't seen anywhere) is perhaps the strongest clue. Someo...

Sid
I honestly thought this was a piss-take when I heard last night. In all fairness, I don't know who's worse, Sid or McIntyre. 10 days before the team play Kilkenny is not the time for Sid (or indeed anyone) to return to the county panel. What message does this send to anyone who's been part of the pa...

Fortal
Yeah, they drew their players from Birr and Clareen. This was before the introduction of the parish rule, so fellas were sort of free to roam. Many from Lusmagh would have played with Meelick (in Galway) about this time.

Challenge game v Waterford
It's on anfearrua.com that Offaly beat Waterford in a challenge in Killarney at the weekend. Apparently, they were both in the region for the w/e.
Anyone know anything about this?

Stubborn Nore
Many of you may have seen this already, but I thought I'd reproduce this extract from Arrikle's Stubboun Nore preview of the forthcoming championship on http://www.kilkennycats.com. Some interesting observations. The Cloghan boys mightn't be amused with his apportioning Paudie Mulhare to the Banaghe...

6 days rest
I'd be more inclined to point the finger at the fixture-makers in the Leinster council rather than our county board. After all, they're charged with promoting Leinster hurling. Incidentally, what happens if either Leinster semi ends in a draw? How does this affect the order of matches in the groups....

Shefflin
Ya, Shark. Bear in mind tho', that KK's likely line up will have Shefflin at 15, and Eoin Larkin at 11.
As regards Hoctor, I've nothing against him per se, I justhave an aversion to rookie 20 year-olds lining out against Kilkenny. Maybe Hoctor will be fine. I've no specific argument anainst the lad.

What now?
David Moran missed all of last year after his knee went again early in the year. Was due to line out at full back for Lusmagh last Sunday (which I didn't get to, unfortunately) So, with Claffey out, what are the options? At least theres time to find a replacement. What chance Stephen Brown in the ha...

Kilkenny
Some interesting comments by McIntyre, more for what he doesn't say, rather than what he does. Ironically, Kilkenny's performance in the league final was just what we needed, for a number of reasons. Firstly, it shows us where the bar is, obviously, and that to compete, Offaly will have to perform a...

Div 2 final
Where and when now for our division 2 final? The footballers play Louth in Navan in Sunday week. Is it a possible curtain-raiser? How far is Navan from Carlow? As for opponents, am I right in thinking Derry need to beat Carlow by 4 or more to keapfrog them? Thats possible. Westmeath need a Derry win...

Clare at it again
Regarding Regan and Comerford. I still don't know how Pat IO'Connor singled out Regan for the red card. Surely there was two . . . While on the subject of flaking, I recall 3 Offaly forwards having Clare hurls wrapped around them at the precise moment the referee threw in the ball. I was a long way ...
