Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

Thankfully the debate has moved on and the discussion is now about how we get our county players fit for purpose. A while back, people would have been chewing about, not playing enough games in Birr, not playing ground hurling, not hitting the ball away quick enough, not sticking to a 6-2-6 formatio...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

The merit of having the beaten Joe McDonagh team continuing into Liam MacCarthy will be rightly examined. Offaly were going to struggle anyway. But having to train on for 3 weeks after their season effectively ended on a downer is questionable. In the game Offaly struggled to put on any pressure on ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

Care to back up your claim with actual examples? my point again "let them develop first"...most other counties have them senior relatively quickly.. mmm..dont like these "challenges" as if to infer one doesnt know what one is talking about, but anyway such is this form - just a ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

Who from the U20s is not being given a fair run?
Several have featured, several have been injured and some have opted out in the short term.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

Winners play Galway. I reckon Tipp will want to go into the Galway game on the back of a big win, rather than just doing enough to beat Offaly.

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

Looking back at the outpouring of emotion after the Meath win. I think mentally the tank was empty after that day. The players had come through a turbulent time and had shown they could rally themselves. But that sort of adrenaline doesn't keep you going for weeks and months. A few months away from ...

Re: U20 hurlers 23

Is it just me, or was there alot of overcarrying missed. And they led to crucial scores for Cork. I keep going back to it, a weak referee had too much of an influence on the game. Yes, overcarrying was missed, but with most refs you get 7 or 8 steps so long as you go in a straight line. Cunningham ...

Re: U20 hurlers 23

Weighing it all up, Cork were going to win this game anyway with their older and highly talented team. I've read lots of comments from Cork lads patting themselves on the back for by winning by showing an 'edge'. This may not be as clever as they think. Imagine if a less generous ref showed red to K...

Re: U20 hurlers 23

Of the 29,000 in Thurles yesterday there was probably about 20 or 22,000 from Offaly. These were the big days that we thought had disappeared two decades ago. Let's surf that wave and continue to drive things onwards in Offaly. On for the game, as we feared, Cork had more older and physically develo...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

Some people in Tipp won't be expecting much from Offaly.

Re: U20 hurlers 23

Galway are in the minor All Ireland pracically every year and are poor supporters to travel in general. Can’t see them bringing more than 1,500. Clare have the Munster Final the following weekend possibly in Pairc Ui Chaoimh. Coupled this with the fact that only around 4,000 attended the Munster U2...
