Re: Div 3 South predictions & general comment

Case in point is the Wicklow goalie, he nailed 2 out of 3 and really solid kicks. The disappointing thing is it is logical to offer Paddy the opportunity as he was a very good underage free taker. I hear what your saying, some players were great goalkeepers at underage but you dont put them in for ...

Re: Div 3 South predictions & general comment

ah I know but just because other counties do it doesnt mean we have...Monaghans keeper is probably the most consistent I seen, but it reminds me why I hate rubgby, the amount of time it takes to come up, place the ball, walk into the shot, step back exact steps from it, channel the track in your vis...

Re: Offaly Hurling 2021

Missing up to 10? So we'll take the win then and move on!! A win is a win. That sounds a bit like an excuse to me. AhI dont think they would say it if they werent...maybe there are players unavailable or not committing...I know every county has that situation but to a county like Kerry whom are doi...

Re: Div 3 South predictions & general comment

a good and welcome win today for Offaly footballers, with Tipp losing to Limerick, it was important that Offaly got off to a winning start. Although Tipp are Munster champions, they are probably a similar team to LImerick as in ways..so now at least one of them have lost..Limerick will be no slouche...

Re: Offaly Hurling 2021

like many other posters, I certainly didnt see a 21 point win coming, credit whre it is due, Offaly were ruthless all through from what heard it on radio (couldnt find it on any live stream channel so I purchased the footballers gameV Wicklow) Team is certainly going out all guns blazing and winning...

Re: Div 3 South predictions & general comment

its a decent team on paper I will say that...hopefully now Bernard Allen and Ruairi McNamee to name two will get going and get into the game...Maher a full forward is a bold move by Maughan given he is just back, he will make things happen around him and able to score too so heres hoping we get off ...

Re: Offaly Hurling 2021

It is sad to see Clare bickering, lord knows they were in the wilderness for long enough, and now the can go toe to toe with any team in Munster even on a bad day/year..alot of talent there too..they have lost a few too in fairness from those great U21 teams and no more than Offaly couldnt afford to...

Re: Offaly Hurling 2021

are we not getting a wee bit ahead of ourselves saying we would give Dublin, Clare and Wexford etc. a game and not get hammered???..Dublin lost to KIlkenny by 5 points last weekend, and were there or there abouts in that game up until the last 10 mintues..how good were Kilkenny, I dont know, Brian C...

Re: Offaly Hurling 2021

interesting observation hoping we dont win the league..I can see why...surely though winning the League is part of their goal..as you say then is it back to 20 or 25 point defeats then next year against the higher teams..I think the arugument of "your better off playing stronger teams" is ...

Re: Offaly Hurling 2021

well said above..Offaly moved the ball well for sure but I would hasten that Meath were tranformed to a poor level after the water break whatever happened I dont know..they were confident and picking their passses all up to that...Offaly I suppose decided to have a go at them, and fair enough Meath ...

Re: Div 3 South predictions & general comment

unfortunately while an avid Offaly supporter it is a long long time ago since I was at an Offaly football game..young family and the cost involved closed off that avenue for me almost 20 years ago..and its like anything, once you stop going you wonder how you afforded to go in the first place..kids ...

Re: Offaly Hurling 2021

credit to the the Offaly hurlers where it is due, as others said above, they pushed on and put the game well out of sight once they got ahead, I will add though that Meath did seem to fall very much asunder...I have mentioned in other GAA forms that I hope for the sake of hurling that the so called ...

Re: Offaly Hurling 2021

sorry good to see Eoin Cahill abit further in, Ide have him further in but then we dont know what they are doing in training either..put Kelly centre forward and put Eoghan Cahill in the corner..some will say not..I think Kelly needs to get into the game from a central postion and carry the ball thr...

Re: Offaly Hurling 2021

I seen the team earliLer and thought, yes, a bit of change around,lads named to start in different positions etc. Look, the panel is now as it is, start Shane Dooley..I dont know, I hear why he might start but is he fully fit, maybe he is not going that well in training, and the day is gone for star...
