Wasn't there a lad from castleknock playing for the u20s footballers a year or two ago?

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

I think it’s time the MGT go whether there is not enough experience in the coaching set up but there is something seriously wrong . If this was any other manager the local press would be calling for his head .This is worse than when Stephen Wallace was there and he got the chop mid season . Time fo...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Kk know what the bigger picture is for them, win a minor or u20 is irrelevant to them and the bigger counties. Their priority is solely on player development and bringing lads through to senior. If you are good enough for senior, you play senior. It's not about wether they are needed or not.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

You know well why. Relive last year all over again for one, egos need to be massaged. U20 mgt don't want any of them playing senior, senior want them only playing senior. The players themselves want to win here and now. Lads on those panels will never play county after u20. This is it for them.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

In regards to oisin been taken off it could well be a managed return to hurling for him. He has had terrible run of Injury and its a phased return to play. Which is what should have happened with ravenhill.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Lads here still don't know what is more important. U20 is a developmental championship. Offaly at all costs must win the joe mcdonagh. Having said all that I wouldn't be surprised if the u20s didn't play, offaly will hammer meath.

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

They aren't rumours. Player welfare was been put to one side last year on a number of occasions in particular at u20 level. He should not have played a minute vs galway this year as he was clearly hindered. Neither agai st laois in the senior. I don't know why the senior set up medical staff would c...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Yesterday was nothing to do with tactics. Dublin are on a different level physique wise. It was like Dublin seniors playing the Dublin minors in a challenge match. I know a lot of the Offaly lads and I know the work they put in at training and even the days they aren't training . I'm not sure how D...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Offaly are probably 2nd favourite to win leinster and top 4 to win all ireland. Could win leinster but its corks all ireland to win again.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Meath conceded 50 points today. They are in terrible turmoil after a great year last year. Offaly will annihilate them.

Re: Offaly Minor Football 2024

At u20, yes you should only really have 100% committed players. At minor which is u17 less so. In past cases, one in particular in hurling a very good hurler had a kennedy cup semi final. He was excluded because it clashed either one hurling training. A national semi final vs a training session for ...

Re: Offaly Minor Football 2024

In both hurling and football players been turned away as they play other sports. Coaches been hamstrung in what they are allowed to do. The way the u20 was treated by not been allowed to train. Were offaly the only county to do this?
