Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
Not sure if Ravenhill should have played today, he looked to be carrying a knock. We should have pushed on today and lucky to hold on in the end. With the round robin nature of these games I thought it would have been a good opportunity to give one or two more players some game time. If we are to g...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
Joe mcdonagh coming now is going to have an impact on u20 preparation. Kk seem to be putting up huge scores. The question is would Galway and Offaly be putting up huge scores against those teams too? The U20s have no game for at least a month now so should allow them a chance to play a bit of Joe M...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
It's not the end of the world. The point at least guarantees we don't finish 3rd and avoid the preliminary quarter final. Our likely quarter final opponents are Wexford, Laois or one of the tier 2 teams, based on the draw. A win today and we would have avoided Kilkenny until a possible Leinster Fin...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
Left that one behind. 4 up with a penalty to go up by 7 with 5 mins to go and Ravenhill blazes it wide. I know he is the designated penalty taker but he hasn’t pucked a ball all day and was clearly injured. Ref then gave Galway a couple of soft frees, which coupled with Offaly stopping to hurl culm...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Apologies but it's very bad form for a lad to just come on here to argue and criticise with every post and he hasn't the decency to show himself, hiding behind the key board and criticising players who owe him nothing and put everything into the game. It's cowardy and pathetic. He says as he hides ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
I wasn't born in 82 , you obviously we're, drunk on success of the past and can't face reality, expecting Offaly to be winning all Irelands 🤣. All you do is come on here and criticise the teams and if someone praises them you knock it . What was your thoughts on the under 20s beating Dublin in Parn...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
The quality of that game was shocking in comparison to the division 3 final, Leitrim were terrible and left their whole back line open and for long parts Laois werent great and it go away from Leitrim in the end, first time in croke park and tactically terrible.. the division 3 final was on after y...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Westmeath are a good team, a cut above Offaly and others in division 3, as I've said here before look how they performed in the all Ireland series last year. Down aren't too bad in fairness, big difference in Division 3 final, both teams way ahead of both division 4 teams, bodes well for Offaly aga...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Down a very limited team. Fit and physical in a way we are not, but been made a show of here by westmeath in my opinion.

Re: Offaly Minor Football 2024
Anonymous quick Tommy Byrne has taken your phone. The minor hurlers who lost to tipp contested an u14 Tony forrestial final with 90% of the team who started that day in Nowlan Park. If you think that's anything got to do with structures at the time in offaly your high it was just a talented group o...

Re: Offaly Minor Football 2024
One could reasonably argue that the good underage groups we’ve had (U20 footballers in 2021, minor hurlers in 2022 and U20 hurlers in 2023) were almost exclusively the work of Tommy Byrne’s structures despite Duignan taking all the credit. The first evidence we have of teams coming through under hi...

Re: Offaly Minor Football 2024
I made my thoughts known on the management after last years drubbing against Dublin and was shot down but best of luck to anybody defending that performance tonight.

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
We’re favourites based on what? Certainly not the odds anyway… Sure that's just the bookies odds, I've outlined why I believe we're favourites.. not that you read the reasons, you just want to argue.. you can be sure them odds will change. We're both the same price to win the Leinster championship....
