Nobody want us to play 15 Kilcormac Killoughey Lads(now who talking shit).
There was no Quarter final in the League when Baker was in charge. If there was we would have made the Quarter final Both Years.
We Played Kilkenny the year before and weren't hammered. The year before we played Clare(all ireland Champion), Dublin(Lenister Champion) and Limerick(Munster Champion) over the years under baker and we ran them all close.
All the players that are playing this year apart from two were available last year. Whelehan Build a team and a plan(and stuck with it) that took us backwards.
this year he has improved thank god.
Your complete and utter dislike for Kilcormac Killoughey is disappointing from an Offaly man but it doesn't surprise me as you treated Coolderry the same when they were beating Birr.
Now back to the match. Had a look back at the All Ireland final replay last night. Kilkenny did a ok job in taking out the Tipperary Half Back line we need to do the same to give ourselves a chance to win on Sunday.
Well done to Sean Ryan on getting on the Hoganstand Team of week. I'm Hoping to see him there again next with a few more Offaly Lads.[/quote
wheres my dislike to k/k, if you go on to there threads i was at every game they hurl in leinster i was in wexford park were you? my point was that every game that offaly played let it be walsh cup or league games, some on here came up with the view that sure k/k would beat offaly and this and that should be on it, the Gerathys left the panel on their own choice, if you want to hurl for offaly you would stay and fight for your place. where did i run down Coolderry toxicity bring up the post that i did, like most on this site saying shit that people never wrote.
last year i was down in thurles on a saturday evening with about 40 other people from offaly watching us stay up again kerry, this year we are hurling tipp in a quarter final so well done to Whelehan and his panel i bet there will be more than 40 from offaly at that one and most are ones who are running Whelehan down all year on the site.
