Re: Offaly Minor Football 2024
Theres a fair amount of speculation here in relation to what should and shouldnt be done. 1. Its a bloody thankless task taking on coaching a development squad if half them are unavailable on Saturday mornings as they are away playing soccer or rugby. Sat is when the dev squad games are played. Tryi...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024
Good luck to all for Sunday. Any word on whether Hyland will be fit to play?

Re: U20 footballers 2024
I don't think that anything I said will impact on Brian Darby's legacy as a player for both Rhode and Offaly. However as another poster said, how he watched some of the stuff unfold in particular in relation to our forwards is the question. Look, I've coached teams myself and the bottom line is all ...

Re: U20 footballers 2024
For me a couple of things, Certain players were going to play regardless of whether they brought their football boots with them. This type of stuff has started to creep into the underage set ups. Secondly, how they were set up to play, and you can go on what way you like about us beating Kildare, a ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
Going to be a battle, and rightly so Laois will take any motivation from what we did last year. Newsflash lads, paranoia is rampant in the GAA. We need to show a couple of things to move on from the league, 1) Play with our heads, ie work the ball and use the runners, 2) Track Laois in that regard, ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2024
I guess they were trying to see if they could slot them in on the Sunday Game?

Re: U20 footballers 2024
Bang out of order to call out the player. Doon Exile is spot on, FFS lads, we were in this back door competition that none of us knew about before a ball was kicked and we knew we had to kick on last night, particularly when the management saw the score at half time. Our best footballer was in goals...

Re: U20 footballers 2024
Not saying that with any disrespect to you Joey and there is commentary here that frustrates, but my point is, we had come ofthe back of beating Kildare, and had some forwards who clearly are not up to the mark. Tweak it a bit and if we have ambition to progress we know most likely we need to beat L...

Re: U20 footballers 2024
No Joey, You tend to completely speak down to anyone who critiques any aspect of any teams performance and classify us as catch and kick merchants. Bottom line is the performance against Louth each of the last two years was embarrassing, we got 2 lucky goals in both games in both years to steal a po...

Re: U20 footballers 2024
I agree Joey with regards to last night, and you'll know that I don't have any fascination with going back to the 80s or 90s style either. But the facts remain and despite a great result last night we have only one gameplan, and forward play was non existent last week. 2 points from our forwards, 14...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024
In relation to the match, great to get a win in such circumstances, pitch, wound up opposition, weather, away....and all the rest. Hurling is a physical game and was happy to see we maintained discipline when opposition tried to wind up lads. But in general Dublin were just doing what teams do in th...

Re: U20 footballers 2024
That was desperate disappointing stuff, we had zero tactics for 50 minutes of the game. Played with a storm and for much of the first half allowed Louth to have the ball unopposed until they hit well inside the 45. Young Melia is the best footballer we have, how is he not out the field and young Du...
