Offaly Senior Football 2026

They butchered Flynn's operation. We won't be seeing him unfortunately.

Won't be seeing the other 2 either, although they could feature for their clubs later on.

You're some beaut Faithfully, no business putting up a comment like that on an amateur player. Cop the fuck on...Jeez

The word "butchered" isn't mentioned anywhere, and its a fair worrying situation for young Flynn and his family...is it not enought to say he has to face prospectof a second operation? Bit of cop on as I said in commenting on whats a serious situation for a young amateur player but maybe thats beyond you.

Might want to read that. Dope.

Try not to get upset about publicly available information next time before you start abusing people like a good man.

Anyway, tis as good a draw as we could hope for.
Wicklow ran Limerick to 5 last year, and Limerick should have won it.
If heads are right and we play the %'s we should be good enough to win, but any complacency and we'll be in bother.

Very composed display on SAt, mistakes alright but no panic even when we went 8 down and the 2 pts before haftime were important. Decent improvement from game to game in this competition and fair dues to all involved.

Nice for them to see a few supporters at the game too.

The bandwagoners will be busy bees this weekend, it's really not supposed to be like that!
But welcome onboard!

Rory Egan can't defend apparently. Ciaran Murphy nowhere near inter county standard.

"Some poor performances particularly Eoin Dunne." - singling out an underage player.

All lads giving up their time to play for Offaly. You might reflect on how you talk about them seen as you're giving lectures today.

You're not shy of sticking the boot in to lads and criticising them online.

We have the quality to beat Wicklow
But we should not underestimate them
Wexford were a spent force after 40 minutes last Saturday looked quite heavy
And bulky team
If we can get a forward to get the ball to his feet in front of goal
We can win the tailteann cup
The problem no player seems a natural at doing this a problem that the 2 pointers are covering up
Lots of rain due this week pitch at HQ can get very slippy .
Let's enjoy the week

Respect for opposition should be a key element of all sports. Wicklow are a proud county and, while Offaly are deserved favourites, this will not be an easy game. Especially as Offaly teams don't tend to carry the favourite's tag easily. Any complacency or arrogance could lead to a false sense of security as well as providing extra motivation to our opponents.

A great weekend for both sets of players getting to play in such legendary stadiums in both codes....both sets of players and managers deserve great credit....Bryant an example of a player who took injuries , loss of form , loss of his place and kept plugging away and now gets to start a game in croke park where he scored a worldy not 12 months ago and a goal in all Ireland final a few years ago .....a bit like cahill in the hurling an example of how things can pay off if you just keep putting the shoulder to the wheel despite lack of game time.....both teams had really tough leagues after such great seasons last year and if we are honest no one really gave either team a hope of getting this far so fair play....footballers still without 3 of there most important players so it's fair going

Inexplicable loss.

There can be no explaining this one away.

Declan and Mickey should do the honourable thing and resign before getting the sack.

[faithfulfanatic]

Massive implosion in the second half
Conceding 1-17 in a half to a division 4 team

[Offaly Hero]

Inexplicable second half performance. A complete collapse, total and utter. Made Wicklow look like Kerry. Just incredibly disappointing

[jimbob17]

Shocking 2nd half. Lost 2nd half by 13 pts to a team that didnt get out of Div 4. Middle third not helped by Kyle Higgins being taken off after he missed score chance - one of our best ball winners. Struggled on kickouts after that. Hard to know what to say really, like said above.... inexplicable loss.

[Barnet]

Even stotser can't defend this. Offaly were the only team playing division 2 football this year, no kildare, meath, westmeath cavan etc in taligan cup this year and we loose to a division 4 team. We ran out of ideas completely in the 2nd half, wicklow looked far fitter and had a game plan.

[Superhans75]

Titanic moment again
Mind I did say a few weeks ago Wicklow were improving
But we played like we were on a beach somewhere.
A few players haven't performed well this year and the management ask more questions than answers
Well at least I can have a drink on the train going to Newry.
Safe travels everyone

[Behindthegoal]

Absolutely shocking. The only good thing from that is hopefully thats the end of declan kelly. A bitter dictator who got way too much power after the u20 win doesnt have a clue holds grudges and falls out with lads for the sake of it everywhere he’s been they all hate him so everyone cant be wrong bye dec

[Bord na Mona man]

Classic error. Slacking off and giving the opposition a chance to build up steam.
Offaly tried to lift the intensity in the last 15, but the genie was out of the bottle.

Wicklow were flying, the crowd roaring them on, every player 6 inches taller and a yard faster.

Anyway, that's 2026 done with. Thanks for the all the effort, but a change of direction is needed for 2027.
