Re: Offaly V Monaghan, SFC qualifier, 25/6/2011
A badly needed win for the offaly boys and some pride has been restored at last. delighted to hear the reports as i didnt go to the game. sometimes it takes just a change in attitude to win a game and Duignans comments obviously stirred up some motivation amongst these players. Remember, there are s...

Re: The bigger picture (Hurling and football)
While i agree that a director of hurling is enthusiastic and getting some extra coaches into the clubs, i am not sure if this is the answer at all. Firstly a lot of former players make great coaches but an awful lot of them dont either. How good are these fellas as coaches. Will they make a signific...

Re: The bigger picture (Hurling and football)
Maybe I am wrong, but i hope this is a watershed weekend for the county board. The footballers trounced and the hurlers were well beaten by a Dublin team pulling up and were easily more than 5 points a better team than OY. We can talk about pride in your jersey and all that but at the end of the day...

Re: Cribben out, Darby in?
I am not sure if cribben walking at this point is necessarily the best thing. they have been working together all year and no matter what happens, he will be gone after the qualifiers, probably the 1st round if yesterday is anything to go by. for him to just walk away now is a cop out on his part an...

The bigger picture (Hurling and football)
in relation to development of players etc as related to by other posters, i think that there are a lot of issues involved. Some have remarked that we will only get 3/4 per minor team anyway to graduate from senior level and that we are doing ok in this regard given the size of the county. I think th...

Re: offaly vs wicklow minor football
Any idea on the Offaly team for this game?? Assume a good share of the Gallen lads will be involved, though there should be a few from, rhode and vincents and one or two from banagher given club form the past few years. won't be an easy game at all. Micko's exploits the last few years has really rai...

Re: Offaly vs Tippearly NHL Round 4 13/3/2011
we all sit here and talk about Joe Dooley yea de yea de yea management etc. but the fact is you can only deal with the cards you are given. the fact is that Joe Dooley has done a reasonable job so far given that where he started when offaly hurling was on its knees. Offaly were competitive in the le...

Re: Clonmore's McPaddens and Rhode
this may have obvious repercussions for the rhode and more particularly Rhode Og club in the future and even though they may not have chased the lads, from the outside looking in it doesnt reflect too well on rhode. My point is, what will happen if another good young player comes thro belonging to b...

Re: Congratulations to Gallen CS
great win for ferbane, well done to all concerned. a lot of good work being done in schools football in the last few years and has contributed enormously to the success of co minor teams. in the past 2/3 years, Gallen Ferbane, Marys edenderry, Tullamore college and Col Iosagain portarlington have wo...

Re: OFFALY V CAVAN 06/02/2011
great win for offaly and more importantly a good solid performance and well worth the win with 6/7 points to spare. it must be put in context though, Cavan were horrendous on the day!! Mulhall was solid with good kickouts and distribution in general play. Sean pender is a dead cert for championship ...

Re: Sigerson and Fitzgibbon Competitions
This is no major surprise given the state of the offaly minor hurlers the last few years. assume dempsey will be between the sticks for ul and shane dooley is down there too, but if they dont make an effort, they will not be picked as the standard is effectively county senior standard in the top 4/5...
