Walsh Cup Match
Huge game all right. Should be able to make it, but we have to allow enough time to get to bigger occasions in plenty of time later. :D Tis a long time since we've beaten the wasps in any game. You would imagine that a game like this where they have just struggled to get by the Jackeens would be an ...

The match
I'm getting fair nervous by now. I hope everyone is recruiting like good things to make sure we have a gang worthy of the occasion!!
We cannot lose this. I'll lose all faith in all that's good in the world if Sunday doesn't work out as it's supposed to.....

The Day of Reckoning
Lurkers, posters, accidental stumblers, and above all, Biffs, lend me your ears! The day is upon us. This sunday, 15 men of the true faith will take on 15 infidels from the wastelands to the north, and fight to restore all that is good and proper in the world, to restore the earth onto it's axis, as...

2005
That's a tough draw for yereselves there. Realistically you would look on Birr, Coolderry, Rynagh's, Skenach and K/K as the only potential winners, and 4 of those are in the one group. This also means that Drumcullen have got completely done altogether. The football's a little more balanced, as real...

Armagh 1-8 Offaly 2-14
Be under no illusion as to the disposition of the Lone Shark – I love being a Biff. It’s a privileged birthright, and it’s a genuinely felt emotion when you look across the border – (particularly to the north!!) and you say “There but for the Grace of God go I”. The drawbacks are few – but they do e...

Wha?............
I can assure you that I am not. I would have thought my non-Clara credentials would have been established by now. Serves me right for being nice to the feckers in my review!! As for Gary Hanniffy, I'm think he's going to America in conjunction with his work for six months or something along those li...

U-21 Football
Anyone able to shed some light on how our lineout is progressing in training, challenges etc? (Obviously I'm hoping for some light from themanfromferbane mainly, but anyone with any insight is welcome! We have the same somewhat simian management in charge, but the personnel is very encouraging, with...

Offaly hurlers - starting 15 for Kilkenny in June
Similar idea to the football thread, though with my hurling knowledge not being up with those from south Offaly, I won't do the big article to the same extent. Obviously as I would pick it - and assuming Gary Hanniffy is not available. 1 Breeder Still the main man, and a fine shot stopper. Once agai...

Heya thar..
Good work with the avatar. I'm feeling a little avatar envy myself at the moment. I may have to try to address that.
And welcome on board y'good self. It's good to see that one of the guinea pigs from the brainwashing programme finally came home to the motherland.

I'm a bit dependant on a second answer. I'm going myself, but as to whether it's for one night or two, or one body or two, it depends on whether others can get off work. There's a few good offers on Pigsback on four star hotels for that weekend though. For those that want to bling it up and impress ...

I'd say even McIntyre would struggle to start that craic with the current squad of players. I'm a big fan of Ger Oakley, but he's no Henry Shefflin, and as for the Peter Healion vs Diarmuid O'Sullivan debate.... Still, a little bit of confidence building would probably be no bad thing. You can see w...

Match report vs Down
Monday morning, and certainly Lone Shark is feeling the absence of weight on his shoulders. A monkey now scurrying off into the distance was for ages a savage weight on my back, but the monkey is no longer. Yesterday put an end to a run of six consecutive Offaly defeats between both codes, senior an...

No can do I'm afraid.
All I know is from that article. Didn't hear anything else. Loughers or Treasurer are more up to date hurling contributors here, they might be in a better position to enlighten.
