Will Offaly get a much needed win v Carlow on Sunday? Hard to see it to be honest, I'd imagine our confidence is shot to pieces given the way games have gone so far. In saying that, if we get a bit of a run on them its hard to see them playing open enough football to claw back a lead. If theres one...

It was mentioned on the radio last night that offalys strength and conditioning coach had stepped away but he seems to still be involved with the underage teams, what's the story with him, is he just not involved with the senior set up anymore?

Be ruthless and relentless. Nice guys win nothing. Not saying that we’ve a team of nice guys or anything like it, but just look at Roscommon and what Anthony Cunningham has instilled in them, eye-gouging aside. Whens Mickey B due back? Just askin :lol: :lol: :lol: March/April. Is travelling at pres...

I think if you're looking at the Carlow game to get a result, objectively they have stronger players in key positions, Murphy in midfield, Broderick and St. ledger in particular. It will take a better performance than we've seen in a while to get the result we need here. Sligo away could reap some j...

The positives would have to be that we are putting it up to stronger teams in a credible way. A win is needed sooner rather than later to help the lads confidence. At the moment we are not fielding our strongest 15, and for whatever reason Nigel Dunne is sitting on the bench.

Once is never twice is always. Third time this league that Offaly have got themselves in winning positions and came away burned. Maughan had a big job on his hands. Serious confidence issues in this group.

Pros and cons after that? I think result aside and the second half fade away there is enough there to be confident about. Players to come back to full fitness and more exposure to Maughans methods and a bit more conditioning and we could have an interesting league in store.

Conor Mcnamee opted out, never heard anything about Ruairi opting out this year.

"Niall McNamee and Brian Darby were approached to come out of retirement but declined while the likes of former captain Sean Pender and Michael Brazil also opted out, to Maughan's surprise" https://amp.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/maughan-i-want-lads-to-enjoy-playing-...

Niall Mc is still the best forward in the county, i’d Have no problem with him being in the mix. Have to excuse my ignorance as I'm living in the UK and not in the loop. What sources are there to suggest that Niall Mc is back involved? I've seen more than one reference to it on this thread already.

1. Paddy Dunican (Shamrocks) 2. Declan Hogan (Tullamore) 3. Eoin Rigney (Rhode) 4. David Dempsey (Ballycommon) 5. Joey O’Connor (St Rynagh’s) 6. Paul McConway (Tullamore) 7. Cian Donohoe (St Brigid’s) 8. Cathal Mangan (Kilclonfert) 9. Peter Cunningham (Bracknagh) 10. Shane Horan (Kilmacud Crokes) 1...

not sure if it was here or elsewhere I heard it but I think Michael Brazil will be back around March. His loss will be keenly felt in that area of the field tomorrow.

I seen that but Niall Mc was training the past couple of nights probably won’t play Sunday Is there word that he's coming back? Any word on Eoin Carroll or if Cian Johnson is involved this year? Was supposed to be a bit behind Cunningham in terms of time frame. Cunningham is named to start. Might b...
