Having watched the game back on TG4 player this morning, it seems there was no touch from Barry Egan or elsewhere as Rigney’s long ball came in.
The goalie completely misjudged it and it bounced into the net.

I think the county board really need to push promotion of the Joe McDonagh final this week. Capitalise on the joyous scenes of Saturday and convince as many bandwagoners as possible to go. Video messages from Screeney, Bourke, et al will be a start. Urge clubs to put on buses for supporters and make...

Outstanding to a man. I can’t find a single fault with any of them this evening. Fantastic and they would have beat anything put in front of them. I think a mark of this team and the change in attitude from previous years was our puckouts in the second half. When Tipp would score or get on top and e...

The GAA suits would get some shock if they logged back on Tuesday morning and the Offaly crowd had Croker packed for Saturday

At senior level, teams now name their panel of 26 by the specified time and are allowed to have 3 lads on ‘standby’.

I’d imagine u20 is the same.

Team named. Leigh Kavanagh back in for his brother Alex. I’d expect Diggy Hand to start if fit, for Kavanagh or Egan. I wouldn’t normally be one to read into these things, but the movement of Ravenhill from last on the extended panel list to first could be significant, given the rumours that Leo O’C...

Further afield, Liverpool Wolfe Tones also wear the Green White and Gold.
And as you can imagine, Offaly New York and Offaly Boston both wear it.
There are a lot of Offaly Boston jerseys around.
I think sports manufacturer Masita make it.

Exactly, you’d imagine it’ll be much closer to 50:50 now. Tipp have 5k more than us without taking Ticketmaster into account. Major f up by county board, a lot of disappointed supporters it seems. These rumours are going around a few hours now of not accepting an allocation of tickets, if it wasn’t...

The Tipp GAA post about tickets from Saturday says they are waiting for official word from Croke Park on tickets.

Offaly had a puck around in Nowlan Park before and after the KK Wex game yesterday so you’d imagine it won’t be moved.
Although the pitch looks in terrible state.

For the first time ever, I found myself shouting for Tipp this evening. Partly because of last years antics from Cork, partly because Cork looked the better side this evening and mostly because I want our lads to beat Tipp! Cork looked very athletic and strong and ran at Tipp at every opportunity. T...

I agree regarding the number of stewards, and Leinster council need to deal with that. So where do you play the game? I presume we host it as Dublin couldnt hold the crowd. Unfortunately Portlaoise is the only ground of note that was neutral, and for all its faults would rather attend there than tr...

From Laois' perspective, it's not different at all. No team would or should spend their time worrying about others, and last year Offaly had to fulfil a fixture against Carlow, this year Laois have to fulfil a fixture against Westmeath. Offaly weren't "choosing" to play Carlow in the fina...

Finally, in relation to Portlaoise, yes there were issues there with toilets, as was the case in Carlow also last year, the PA system in most GAA grounds can be ropey enough. BUT stewards is a major issue in most grounds , guess what , these people are volunteers, no pay and give up time when they ...

Superb win last night, well done to all. Laois GAA should be embarrassed. 1. Very few stewards on duty. Almost more guards than stewards. I heard one steward loudly tell another on the way in to make sure as many could hear that he'd 'much rather be in the fu***ng bog'. 2. No national anthem played....

As I thought may happen, Alex comes in for his younger brother. Diggy Hand returns to the bench, meaning Cathal Robinson drops to the extended panel. You’d have to wonder how fit he could be, given that he wasn’t even togged out last week. In the last couple of years we went into these games with a ...
