AZ offaly is correct in saying the players must share some responsibility for the debacle in Tullamore v Down. It made for incredible and sad news in Thurles on Sat. evening. The players had a much publicised strike a few years ago, but have given the supporters nothing back in return.ever year we hear about discontent in the camp, which makes you wonder do players have any pride in that great jersey. You have a great honour in playing for your county, and your family, and your native heath. One time Offaly always competed even when we didn't have the greatest players.
Now players lets see you give it all for the county jersey.
I may be wrong here, but I feel an outsider is best for Offaly. Luke Dempsey looks a possibilty if he wants the job. Whoever gets the job, should be given 3 to 4 years to get us out of the doldrums, perhaps the ultimate aim is to win a leinster title at the end, then we can take it from there.
There is some hope, the minors were denied at the end yesterday, but we have reached 3 finals which is progress.
The old attitude that we can hammer Laois and Westmeath are long over, Leinster has moved on, for the better with more teams coming to the fore.
I may be showing my age here, but I recall all our Leinster titles from 1960 to 1997, plus our 3 All Irelands. I would like to get back as contenders again.
