Club Football
Offaly football is at low ebb there's no doubt. Rhode beating Shamrocks tonight at HT in league game by 1-10 to 0-00 says so much about football in the county. Reports say Rhode are in decline and then this? Could not believe my eyes. That is embarrassing for Shamrocks. Shamrocks would be seen gener...

Re: Declan Kelly
It's not feasible now for DK and a cohert of these players to co-exist going forward. The rumours and or leaks coming from the dressing room, It's a sure sign of chaos. The county board need to act fast here and make a decision otherwise the idle talk will multiply by the day . IMO the local media ...

Re: Declan Kelly
As for notion that players were not bothered about playing in tier 2, I'd suggest that based on my brief conversations with two senior players after Leinster Championship, that this was certainly not the case. Happened to meet them separately and both seemed very intent on making up for last years T...

Re: Declan Kelly
Some concerning chat here. If it is case that players don't want the current manager back, which may or may not be the case, then what should the co board do? I believe that Declan Kelly has 2 or 3 more years left on his agreement with co board. I know it is a discussion forum, but don't like use of...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
I wouldnt be getting too carried away with the league scorers. Attendance at the latter stages of the championship will tell a lot. Time for cheap shots at management to stop here lads. Get into a meeting room with your club executive and seek clarity on the points you are raising. Keyboard shite a...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
The Down game will be difficult. The likelihood is Down might give panel members game time, and these will be lads anxious to make a statement. Questions about commitment or attitude are moot at this stage- pride might dig a result or performance out, but the rest of the year will also be an issue....

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
No the players are not there to compete in Sam Maguire at moment, but they are there to compete at Tailteann Cup level. Recent league results tell us we should be consistently in top 5 or 6 teams in Tailteann Cup and it is the managers job to ensure that we are maxing on our potential. It is safe to...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
It pains me to say it but, is this a new low? The Tailteann Cup was designed for likes of Offaly to be competitive in a meaningful championship. We lose to London by 12pts and follow up with an 8 point loss to Limerick, who are both Div 4 teams. Its as bad as I've seen it and performances seem to ha...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Should DK stay or go in a word? Don't believe it is as simplistic as that. If I were asked, it'd depend on a few things 1. who was there with him in management. 2. the confidence level of players in manager. 3. makeup of backroom team and use of S&C best practices. 4. willingness to step aside ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Just don't turn on each other but we are managed awful I fully agree with this sentiment. Dont give me the crap of players not caring or not bothering. They all stayed around and trained for it. I even heard David Dempsey on Midlands Radio say Offaly were really up for it this year, especially afte...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
How will Limerick game be much different as a matter of interest? We fell over the line and down there they will get stuck into us big ssshtyle. Have we got the belly for it. We were awful in that game after dominating for good spells, and near the end there was more interest in what was happening ...

Re: Offaly Minor Football 2024
Meath carry 80 at U14. 4 regions of 20 players. It probably reduces to 60 or so through U15. Kildare I believe are somewhat similar. I am not saying we do that as we dont have their numbers but we could and should have 2 squads. My solution is that at U14 level, we carry one squad of 30-35 from Apri...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
A 20pt defeat. Some really good things. Some things that we need to work on. Would probably consider it an average 6/10 performance for us. Starting with the positives, I thought some of our individuals did very well. Keith O Neill and Dylan Hyland were very good and threatened Dublin when in posses...

Re: Offaly Minor Football 2024
Last night was very disappointing from a performance level and the actual result . I think this is a weak enough group but they were not helped by some decisions made by MGT in the selection of players on the squad . At u 17 and u 16 dev squad level we do not have the best players in Offaly playing...

Re: Offaly Minor Football 2024
We are not talking about minor or U20 here. We are talking about U14 and U15 development level. That is where it happens and what is being advocated for and players are excluded then also at minor level as a result. That is what is happened with current minors. It didnt happen this year. It happened...
