Re: The Throwing problem in hurling
The crux is that lots of people think there is too much handpassing, never mind too much illegal handpassing.
By focusing on the technique, they're trying to find ways to make it a less attractive option.
In football, the 'too much handpassing' crusade has had a three-decade head start ...

Re: The Throwing problem in hurling
I agree with both opinions, the handpassing rules are breached regularly at Inter county level. If the rule is there IMPLEMENT IT.

Declan Kelly did win an U 20 All Ireland football title. He is still a good manager.greenairfield wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 10:37 am He is a legend of the game and the first two results back that up. Declan Kelly can't be too bad either!
Two good wins to date, Mickey Harte and himself are a good combination.

Re: General Election 2024 - Offaly Constituency
Anyone for votes for Paul Murphy, or Richard Boyd Barrett does so to elect a TD to grandstand from the opposition benches.
The Monk voters the same. Put him in to annoy the government of the day.
Most people voting for Murphy or Boyd Barrett do so on the basis of their groundwork in their ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2025
Is Farrell there? Surely you’d see him among the subs?
Don’t think anyone predicted that, been a while since offaly hit 20 points in January?
I've been sayin since the end of last year that we would benefit from how declan kelly did things last year, with a little bit better luck ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2025
Thank God nobody has overreacted on here to the first round of the league on the last weekend of January…
First game played and drawn. Another big test away to Laois on Sunday.
There are a few really big challenges ahead of Offaly hurlers in the league, I think Johnny Kelly would have targeted ...

Re: Allianz leaving predictions
They’ve been involved with the league for 35 years, although 2025 is the last year of the contract.
My money would be on them renewing, I wonder will they get a shock like the rest of us when their premium quadruples.
After 35 years with Allianz, they are established. Cost of premium is a ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2025
Great reporting faithfulfanatic.
A few years ago, the most prominent Offaly man in the Fitzgibbon Cup was Mick McDonagh. It's a good trend that we're better represented these days.
Mick never made the panel, but always wore the jersey. Never far from the post match interviews. Did he ever ...

Re: General Election 2024 - Offaly Constituency
She certainly doesn’t represent the majority of us in this county given we voted 58% in favour of repealing the 8th amendment.
And most certainly doesn’t represent the majority of people in Ireland who voted 66% in favour.
It’s all well and good howling at the moon from the opposition ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2025
Lads I said this weeks ago, these people who look at the table and go “ah sure we should be giving promotion a rattle” are absolutely deluded. Whether people like it or not we will be doing very well to stay up. Can someone tell me confidently where 3 wins to keep us up are coming from? Because ...

I'd love to see floodlights in ocp but having an extra pitch or two in the faithful fields would be of way more benefit.
