Re: Club football championship
God knows, no doubt we will be once again playing our final in October, despite exiting the championship in June.
Can we not finish matters in September?.

Re: Offaly vs Cork - SHC Qualifier Rnd 2 07/07/2012
I think Cork will win this one, they have improved from last year. Hope i'm proved wrong.

Re: Offaly Vs Wexford 2/6/12 Leinster Championship
The important thing is that Offaly won tonight, although it was tense in the last few minutes, as Wexford pulled us back. Wexford started and finished the game stronger, while Offaly were dominant in the second and third quarters. Offaly need an improvement if we are to trouble Galway or Westmeath ...

Re: Offaly Vs Wexford 2/6/12 Leinster Championship
Let's give Wexford a taste of Offaly passion on Saturday night, and send them back to pick strawberries for the summer. According to RTE's GAA programme tonight, hosted by Marty Morrissey, we haven't a hope. Come on Offaly.

Re: tom coffey new offaly manager
Just heard on RTE that Tom Coffey is the interim manager. Does that mean we will go through last year's charade again after the championship?

Re: Relegated
I think if there was a Division 5 Offaly would wind up there at present!!. The switch of the Kildare game to Sunday, where it will be part of a double header, as Brackngh Boy wrote, means RTE want at least one competitive game that day. All about viewers. Wonder are Ireland playing in Euro 2012 tha ...

Re: Best chipper in Offaly?
Think it has to be Macari's in the Market Square Tullamore. It's clean and the food is good. Supermac's is not bad either.

Re: o byrne cup vs kildare
I never thought Offaly would win today, the scale of the defeat was vey disappointing. Offaly were 10 points down at half time with the wind!. 4 points were scored in the second half, to 7 from Kildare, who had eased off then. Kildare were bigger, fitter, and better, but as posters said, Kildare are...

Killeigh has always been divided into hurling and football areas, the former around Killeigh, with football concentrated in the Geashill/Cloneygowan area. In recent years Raheen entered a junior hurling team, Killurin have been a separate hurling club since 1985. Ballinagar are a junior football clu...

Re: Faithful Pioneers: Offalys Football Breakthrough, 1960/6
Like POTH, I attended yesterday's launch of Faithful Pioneers, and it was memorable to see so many of the players from that era, who put Offaly football on the map. I was only a small boy when I attended with my late parents, and extended , family, the 1960 Leinster Final, Offaly's first, and the Al...

Re: Brian Cowen's legacy of failure as Taoiseach
Personally, I don't think that this thread should be on this website, as I don't believe that it has anything to do with GAA in Offaly. There are plenty of other forums out there to discuss politics in Ireland. This forum usually gives me an outlet away from all of the political news (which went in...
