Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

not in position to be talking to many players to be honest. Look, if he said he didnt mean it, fair enough, its not tellying me and you that that will exonerate him, hopefully the powers that be believe him. As regards his 2 hands on the hurl as the ball came in, fair enough, but when the Carlow pla...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

I suppose for the ones who don't want to face upto the sending off..Maher did deliberately pull the face guard..I have sympathy for him of course as he would not have set out in the initial interaction to do so, but it seems to be a fairly harmless thing to some but pull OR put his hand in (call it ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

The hand went into the face guard and it pulled it outwards, whether Dara intended it or not is irrelevant, it happened and ref and/or umpire seen it, a red card. The commentary of the game no one has mentioned was poor, mixing up names and counties all afternoon, despite the colours being blatantly...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

Offaly tried hard and done well to get it to extra time. Just a couple of points some people here have noted about Kiely been a huge addition etc but he was very ordinary yesterday and can go missing for large portions of games. Burkes decision to strike the ball long for carlow's winning point was...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2023

Look, I see alot here on about "sticking to rules" and possibly Wexford go down..while I agree I have to say it again, Leinster while the standard had dropped was opened up as some sort of arcade almost where anyone could get in and play in our province, yes, Munster with their 5 competiti...

Re: U20 hurlers 23

got some online just after 10am for some of my family, €20 for students and €25 for adults not too bad at all. Great 2 weekends for Offaly hurling ahead, lets make the most of them. Just one little thing I didnt like about the U20 set up with no All Ireland semifinals due to the structure, no doubt ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

I thought the implication from saying “it will die off” is that you think it’s a bad thing. I don’t understand your argument that unless an Antrim, Wicklow or Waterford win it then the gloss will go off it. Has the gloss been taken off the Sam Maguire because Dublin, Kerry, Tyrone etc almost always...

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

Cavan or Down will probably win the tailteann this year, Meath, Fermanagh or Sligo or Offaly then...Antrim, Carlow, or Wicklow or Waterford etc. will not win it. The parachute payment to the championship yes its true some teams yo yo up and down..the tailteann wont have the payment of course but tea...

never said or not saying its a bad thing (yet) but unless an Antrim or Wicklow or Waterford etc. win it, and no disrespect to them counties whom I watch out for week in week out, I just think the gloss will go off of it after a few years, I hope ime wrong..time will tell..

Re: Offaly Senior Football Team - Championship 2023

I agree its a tough draw in ways (Cavan being the hard bit of it - local Derby comes into it with Laois but if we are to have any aspirations we surely have to believe and beat Laois after the season they have had to date) , but we could have had Down and/or Meath in same group..the rest of the draw...
