Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

You said something about the manager winning all ireland as a reason for him to stay on, coupled with him been an inside appointment. I feel he is either out of his depth or his man mgt style to too "my way or the highway " On the development squads, I have fairly strong thoughts on them b...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Your putting too much value on u20 grade. There are managers who have won multiple under age all ireland titles and have failed at senior.

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Unless there are good vibes coming from the camp despite the defeats he probably has to go. Results are Results, but if there discontent and there seems to be, and there's seems to be a break within this particular group , he's cooked.

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

In regards to supporters from the likes of kk etc bringing small support. It's u20, other counties don't place that high of a value onto it. That's a simple fact. Senior is the end all and be all now. When it was u18 and u21 it was a bit different because you could play your full team without restri...

Leo o connor will be next senior manager. Whether he's suited or not will not be considered. He s next man up.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

Have u20s ever got it?. Its senior panel only. County boards struggle as it is with just senior panel, imagine adding 30 u20s to it aswell.

https://www.thesun.ie/sport/gaa-hurling/4832699/martin-dolphin-offaly-galway-hurling/amp/ Article on Martin Dolphin from 2019. States that counties in Liam Mc, Joe Mc or Christy Ring could no longer avail of this. So I don’t know how Kerry are allowed. The joys of being part of Munster GAA I assume...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

I think it’s time the MGT go whether there is not enough experience in the coaching set up but there is something seriously wrong . If this was any other manager the local press would be calling for his head .This is worse than when Stephen Wallace was there and he got the chop mid season . Time fo...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Kk know what the bigger picture is for them, win a minor or u20 is irrelevant to them and the bigger counties. Their priority is solely on player development and bringing lads through to senior. If you are good enough for senior, you play senior. It's not about wether they are needed or not.

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024

You know well why. Relive last year all over again for one, egos need to be massaged. U20 mgt don't want any of them playing senior, senior want them only playing senior. The players themselves want to win here and now. Lads on those panels will never play county after u20. This is it for them.
