Re: NFL Division 3 2019

Will we beat Sligo away?..they have nothing to play for but will surely want to go out with a good performance as they will be idle now til championship...Offaly got 0-15 which was decent scoring considering I am constantly giving out that they dont score enough...Interesting to see how this game go...

Re: NHL Division 1B 2019

while I am not totally up to speed with the schools competitions now a days, I have noticed from following results in Midland tribune etc..Colaiste AAA late rally secures Leinster Final (or Leinster final place even) for Colaiste AAA...only to read on and see that the competition is a B or even a C ...

Re: NFL Division 3 2019

wouldn't be totally upto speed with who is right and wrong, Nigel Dunne a massive loss from panel, I agree, maybe he should have just kept the head down, I think he would have got back into the team sooner rather than later, and better coming in late and proving that maybe he should have been in a b...

Re: NHL Division 1B 2019

2 great posts above, and let me add that I too don't blame the S&C man for the fitness levels, aren't they too separate aspects?..S&C to me is having lads strong enough to physically hold their own on the pitch in physical challenges etc...fitness then is you match fitness to be able to play...

Re: NHL Division 1B 2019

Bergin and Dooley will be a massive loss, but bear in mind most of their scores come from free's...we dont have even one "xfactor" forward to bang in 2 goals and a couple of points in every game..we were awful in the first half against Laois, and trying to claw back 13 points in the second...

Re: NHL Division 1B 2019

riding out the storm will be the problem, as Brian Carroll said after Waterford game as the two teams were warming down, Waterford had a buzz about them, Offaly looked totally dejected, and Brian Carroll said (paraphrasing) "its all very well saying to focus on the Laois and Carlow games, but w...

Re: NHL Division 1B 2019

I heard the S&C man got thrown under the bus so to speak after the Waterford game...apparently players were complaining that some lads while bulked up and physical couldn't hit the ball 20 yards out of their way...I don't know..competitive is one thing, getting hammered at the end is another..13...

Re: Walsh Cup 2019…ish

to be honest its very possible we could have had the very same set of results as yesterday against the same opposition 10 years ago...Offalys decline is since the 2000 AI hurling final and really since just a little after in football (we have to acknowledge we won Leinster in 1997 and league in 1998...

Re: Senior A hurling 2018

haven't been on in a few weeks, as I thought, Coolderry won the county final, they were the form team all year (bar the near collapse against Belmont in the SF)..Kilcormac had Killian Kiely in on edge of square but he seemed isolated in there, they then brought him out, the Midland tribune were on a...

Re: Senior A hurling 2018

Rynanghs lack of natural forwards caught up with them yet again, and not for the first time...they have no "out and out" scorer...Treacy from frees is all very well, most teams now have at least one/two good free takers...Treacy took a hit on Saturday and after being down for sometime had ...

Re: Senior A hurling 2018

Birr are just not winning county finals now, it happens all great teams, they go into decline somewhat, other good players will come up but balance wise they just may not be upto winning a county final. championship very up and down this year, Coolderry have been probably the most consistent team ov...

Re: Senior A hurling 2018

there is..let teams from up Birr/Banagher/Shinrone/Belmont even play their games in Birr...no financial benefit to the businesses in Tullamore people racing out the gate and gone to avoid the agony of queing in traffic for half an hour to get back somewhere near the Mucklagh side of Tullamore, then ...
