Was it not raining in Lusmagh? Holy jesus there was a case to be made for the match in rath to be called off. Not sure how many scores came from play but at times it felt like a free contest. Felt sorry for the players from both sides hard to read much from the game. Difficult conditions certainly,...

It's also going to lead to a bananas rush to get in early which is not ideal either. I've heard anecdotally of people planning to be in the ground up to 90 minutes before throw in to get the good seats and get their kids in the middle. But then that becomes an arms race, as everyone tries to beat th...

To be fair, it's not exactly ideal for this Roscommon resident, but Nowlan Park should really be the venue, it's ideal for a game like this. The capacity in OMP would be stretched to the limit, and as BnaM man mentioned, they didn't cover themselves in glory the night of the Leinster final. The surf...

Galway play Clare in the All-Ireland round robin this Saturday in Athenry (Richie Fitz is refereeing). Laois play the loser on Saturday 28th May, and the other one on Saturday 4th June. The All-Ireland Minor semi-finals are on weekend 18th/19th June, the same weekend as the All-Ireland Senior quart...

I think "worrying" about promotion is getting ahead of ourselves a bit, I'd make the Kerry game a toss up at best, and whoever wins that will be big outsiders against an Antrim side that's going well. Having said that, I'd say the "ideal" for this team at this stage of their deve...

I had a GAA-free weekend and only saw the incident on the news, so I basically haven't had a proper look at it. Part of it is that the unwritten rule is that the referee is supposed to blow for full-time when the sides are level, and is supposed to give a free to make a draw of it in the event ther...

Contrast that to the report in the midland tribune dated Saturday 9th April, another GAA reporter (name escapes me honestly) reported on Offalys Ladies Division 4 league final win over Limerick. The team were struggling at half time, and brought on a star player, whom management did not start as sh...

Outstanding stuff.

There's no way Offaly went out to lose that game, but a couple of selection choices sent out clear signals all the same. Lee Pearson was outstanding in Newry, even though he's one of the younger players by a distance. If the Cork game was last Sunday, I've no doubt he'd have started. Johnny Moloney ...

As an aside a group of 8 with one team qualifying, as is the case in the Division 1 league is no way to promote a competition. A good few years ago now, I was involved with a review group for Offaly fixtures, and I presented to a county board meeting some findings that involved a few ideas. Two quo...

Lone shark or posters....what is the best Offaly 15 within the county no injuries and eveyone available to the panel I'm interested to know. You can include farrell Cunningham Brazil if you wish. I mean, I know what you're trying to say, but surely you see how irrelevant that is? Not alone that, it...

From listening on radio laz molloy was saying colm doyle was very poor? Thought pearson would have been worth a run based on recent form Maybe looking for a spot for his own club man who was taken off very early - wouldn't surprise me at all. Doyle is a good player, nothing Flash but does basics we...

I don’t agree with throwing in the u20s for the sake of it , these young players need to physically read for senior and in my opinion some of these lad are ready to compete at senior yet . Horses for courses young carroll was three weeks over age for last year u20 all Ireland winning team and he’s ...

Jaysus but there's some daft stuff on this thread about this game. When it comes to lads that are still U-20 in 2022, I take the point that U-20 is probably the place for them, and Cormac Egan in particular would be a man who is playing a crazy amount of sport and isn't yet at the level to make a di...

I was on duty elsewhere today so I haven't had a chance to see any of the highlights of the game, but I will say this - you could play well in a place like Ennis, and still not get anything from the game. Clare are a solid, consistent Division Two team for basically a decade now and while I'd certai...
