I have to agree with Concrete and Townman about last night's games. Ferbane missed 5 goal chances in total, a twice taken penalty, hit the post and the cross bar in the second half, and in the first half when the Rhode keeper dropped the ball, Ferbane couldn't finish the ball to the net. A lot of mi...

Tullamore have been awarded a walkover. Shamrocks cannot field a junior team. And are struggling to get a senior team together for Sunday due to injuries on top of the current absentees. Bad news about Shamrocks, last year's finalists, they may not be able to field a team in their remaining games, ...

I think Micko would be an interesting choice, what have we got to lose? A high profile name like that would get a huge response locally, and nationally, even the 1982 game would be thrown in the mix. Maybe some local benefactor might cover the expenses. Don't think a local manager would work though,...

Real Rob, I was working with a selector on that Ballymore team of that time and he was very critical of Kavanagh's attidude and dreadful poor form at the time, the James Kavanagh of today is a different player to one of 5 years ago and also the Kildare squad of 5 years ago were going nowhere fast e...

Junior results from tonight Ballinagar 1-13 Edenderry 2-3 Tullamore 0-6 Ferbane 2-8 Shamrocks 1-2 Killiegh 3-21 Ballycumber 1-17 Ballycommon 4-11 Thats some thumping for Shamrocks and at home as well they must really be struggling this year! Great result for Ballycommon! Ferbane must be one of the ...

I made a first time trip to Pairc Ui Caoimh last Saturday, and must agree with the sentiments expressed.It was disappointing to lose a game we dominated, especially in the first half. Offaly should have been out of sight if we took our chances. Cork got 2 early goals, but never looked like adding to...

The format of the Cork Senior championship is, of course, important if you are using it for comparative purposes. For your information, both Cork Senior championships are run on a straight knockout basis with a back door for first round losers only. It can be played off in about five weekends. But ...

Sorry for the delay lads haven't been on in the last couple of days.. Offaly 1-19 - 0-22 Clare. Offaly started with 12 of the players that played against Dublin, the 3 missing were Brian Carroll, Stephen Egan and Joe Bergin. Shane Dooley was once again the hero with a 68th minute goal from a 21 yar...

Don't care how Cork play off their football championship. The point is that the largest county in Ireland can have their footbal final one week after contesting the All Ireland Final, while Offaly are out of the championship in July, but we have a complete halt for 2 months May to July, and play our...

Maybe Laois will pull off a shock, they are at home!. What have the Gods against Offaly, if it is Cork, we are travelling to Pairc Ui Chaoimh, for a difficult game, maybe it will be on a Saturday.
The footballers could play in the back garden, and I'd close the curtains!

I agree with the sentiment that we play off the Club championships, while we await the qualifier draws. We will be out of both hurling and football in July, yet we won't play our county finals until October!!!. The counties who reach the All Ireland finals will be playing their finals at the same ti...

Any result on the Offaly v ClareSH challenge last night?

Saturday's game hinged on 2 first half incidents. Offaly's missed penalty, and just what Offaly didn't need, Wexford get a goal. They went in 6 up at the break. Offaly only got 2 points in the second half,with the wind!. Wexford got 1-7 against the wind. Wexford had a plan, and other than giving it ...

I heard that discussion as well, seems Offaly don't exist to the ''experts''. On last night's overlong Sunday Game,(An hour at most given the substandard football discussed, 5 minutes of a far better Leinster SHC game!)it was all Dublin, bar one vote for Kildare. Spillane did say Dublin would beat O...

I'm glad Dublin game is on the box, after that report on the SH challenge. I do't fancy heading for Croker and see the Dubs hammer us. Wexford host Antrim the same day, why not a double header?. Last year Offaly played Antrim in Parnell Park, and in 2009 Galway played the Cats in Tullamore. Why have...
