Paddy Molloy - RIP
Sad news that I came across that Paddy Molloy has passed away. https://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2020/0506/1136907-former-offaly-hurler-paddy-molloy-dies/ I grew up in the Football end of Offaly so I was not aware of his reputation back then, and I never saw him play. But when an Offaly hurler can get on...

Re: Irish Independent: The Day of the Short Whistle
Oh what a year! It remains one of the "big regrets of my life" on that short-whistle day. Like most people around, I immediately copped that it was blown early. In a furious rage, I stormed out of the stadium, up the North Circular Road and got to my car. I turned on the radio and only the...

Re: Offaly v Sligo Round 2 Qualifier
Really enjoyable to watch this game yesterday. Even though our subs were again very late being called upon, this time it was probably a bit more justified as there were no real under-performers on the pitch. Even when Ruairi Mc was the first called ashore, I could say he had tried hard. So that mean...

Re: Offaly v Leix Round 3 Qualifier
Could have been a lot worse. It is certainly winnable, and we should go there with a genuine sense of confidence in our own ability.

Re: Offaly v London Football Qualifiers
Sunday's game with London was a little frustrating to watch at times. My reckoning was that maybe Offaly took London a little for granted, and were not at full concentration at times. Many of our mistakes were just poor execution when NOT under pressure; badly aimed short passes, not catching balls ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers Championship Thread
For me too, Saturday night was a very heartening display. Our style of football was way ahead of Antrim's, showing a lot more confidence in our own ability and looking to dictate the flow of play with some air of confidence. I was very impressed with Anton's play' he's showing a level of maturity th...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers Championship Thread
I would say that I agree with AZOffaly's assessment of this debacle. Those new interviews with Anton and Stephen Wallace have a lot of detail in them, whereas Tommy Byrne's contributions have contained quite a lot of "stone-walling" (IMHO). Now I know that as Chairman, he would to be caref...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers Championship Thread
Was Brian Gavin commentating on Sunday's match himself? If so, then he could hardly have been near the dressing room at half-time in order to see Nigel Dunne heading out. If Brian got his info second-hand, then it's easy to see a sort-of "Chinese Whispers" situation arise, with someone see...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers Championship Thread
That interview by Brian Gavin with Midlands Radio 3 has been picked up by Balls.ie https://www.balls.ie/gaa/offaly-football-unrest-stephen-wallace-388940 so the story will now start to spread. That will hardly help to improve things in the short term, or maybe it all needs to be brought to a head an...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers Championship Thread
Oh Lord this is often a painful life being an Offaly Football supporter. I agree with the Shark, there was no shortage of effort here, especially in the first 35 minutes. But we should have been 6+ points up at half-time as we had completely outplayed Wicklow. Bernard Allen got a couple of sweet poi...

Re: SFC Qualifier Kildare v Offaly
I'm still fierce disappointed that this was another opportunity wasted for what might have been a very gratifying win. We got little or one of the breaking ball in midfield, and that cost us dearly. The way Kildare defended could have been a glorious chance for the likes of Joey O'Connor's raiding r...

SFC Qualifier Kildare v Offaly
When is this fixture going to be confirmed? The gaa.ie website still has it listed for either Saturday or Sunday July 9th or 10th.
I'll even welcome rumours at this point.

Re: In support of Offaly hurlers and footballers
The only thing I would really like to see changed on this DB is the picture/avatar used by Bord na Mona man. Jayz, that picture makes me nearly retch whenever I see it. :roll: Which different one should I change it to? I think this would sum you up nicely. http://crankybogman.com/wp-content/uploads...
