Don't know the format of this championship but hard to believe you can give a walkover and still be in the next round. Does that mean KK are still in the competition?

Great win for Belmont. As someone said earlier, did SBK win this age group at minor but have given a walkover last night?

Joe Maher didn't play senior with Ferbane last year. I suppose that's Declan Kelly's fault as well!

Great win and very good performance. Great to see the team put up a big score even when Dylan Hyland had a quiet game. Seem to be improving with every game now and management and players deserve great credit. Roll on the semi final.

I think it would have been more appropriate if Declan Kelly stood down from all involvement with underage set ups when he was appointed Offaly senior manager. Managing inter county teams is now a very time consuming job and doesn't make sense to have your senior manager still involved in decisions ...

Great win and fair play to the panel for sticking at it when it must have been tempting to throw in the towel after the Laois game. Maybe this win is the turning point for management and players to let the shackles off and have a real crack at salvaging something from the year.

Would be totally against retaining Mickey Harte. A brilliant manager with a fantastic record with Tyrone, I think he also has to be held accountable for what has happened this year. A lot of people seem to think everything is Declan Kelly's fault this year, and success last year was all down to ...

Didn't realise Declan Kelly was still Director of Football. What exactly does this role entail? Very unusual if not totally unique to have your senior football manager also your Director of Football and hard to see how anyone could combine both roles.

Tailteann cup might as well be wrote off now as well. Both management and players know this management will not be there next year at this stage, so both will just want the year to be over. Any player thinking of going to America for the summer will not be hanging around just to fulfill the fixtures ...

Would not be Declan Kelly's biggest fan but as has been said , he has put a lot into football in the county and while not everyone will agree with the way he does things, he has got plenty of success down the years both inside and outside the county doing it his way.
There is not going to be any ...

I think our ceiling with the current talent in the county is at best mid table Div.2. On that 97 team, Cathal Daly, Finbarr Cullen, Sean Grennan, Ciaran Mcmanus, Vinny Claffey, Peter Brady to name a few, would have got on any county team in the country. Don't think we have many at the moment you ...

Just on the 1997 team, that team was good enough to win the league outright in 1998. At best, with every player fit and every other player that could be in there on board this year, I think we would be competitive at Div.2 level but no where near getting promoted and could still be in relegation ...

Would imagine both teams will feature a lot of the same players that were involved in the minor final. First year there was ever only 2 years between both grades at club level.

Did not mean to imply that Tullamore were using this as an excuse. They definitely were not but some on this thread want to change the rules around an outsider playing for a different club after Saturday's game.
As you said, Tullamore had an off day and that can happen any team.

Plenty of clubs in Offaly have bent the rules to accommodate outside players or players not living within their catchment area in the past.
Wasn't to many giving out before Saturday's game but now it's a problem because a big club like Tullamore, with a huge pick, got well bet by an even bigger ...
