Yep, Id say that's the jersey alright. I saw it on sale in Tullamore over the weekend.

Be wary, they are very big fitting. Unless you go for the player fit option on the O'Neills website.

Greenairfield,

Do you have any idea what you just said about those hurlers you've just named?

I'd take down that list of names pretty quickly before you get yourself and this site into serious bother.

And since when did Birr and St Rynaghs become lesser clubs?

Come on lads, do the maths here. We beat DIT by a cricket-score, DIT beat the Kilkenny Under 21 comfortably, ergo this will be a comfortable win for Offaly. In reality this will be a senior inter-county team vs an U21 inter-county team. And before anyone thinks the Kilkenny U21 team is some sort of ...

I've heard that management weren't willing to carry Conor Mahon on the panel while he continues his recovery from injury. How accurate this report is I can't clarify. If it is the case it really is really short-sightedness on their behalf. On the captaincy issue James Dempsey seemed to be the captai...

As you may have figured by the final score today's game in O'Connor Park was a farce. So here's the team that started and I think that's the only thing of interest from the game. 1. James Dempsey 2. Emmet Nolan 3. Chris McDonald 4. Niall Wynne 9. Shane Kinsella (sweeper) 5. Pat Camon 6. Conor Dougha...

3 home league games for Offaly in the hurling league. Games vs Laois and Limerick in OCP, game vs Kerry in SBP. Maybe it's just me but I nearly find that a bigger insult than having no games in SBP. There's no way the attendance of the Laois or Limerick games will come anywhere near 5,000. Just play...

Edenderry swimming pool is right beside Edenderry GAA so they wont be building a pool. And they already have a bar facility and pavilion so that wont be needed either.

Joe, By "all ticket" I mean there will be a set number of tickets set aside for the game and when these are all sold the game is a sell out. No one else is allowed in. OCP employs a ticketing system which is slightly different. From recent reading I was doing its common practice in GAA to ...

I don't think this year's Galway SHC final is a fair comparison with the situation in Offaly at the moment. Pearse Stadium is currently unavailable as they are doing work on the pitch so the situation becomes more similar to our own if both pitches are available next year. Then it'll be very interes...

Ah come on POTH, Ken Hogan is only out the road from Birr, has been involved in the Offaly club championship for the last number of years and obviously takes a keen interest in the Offaly SHC as a spectator. For Joe Quaid to travel to Kilcormac from Murroe in Limerick for a league semi it would seem...

I will admit this is anecdotal rather than first hand evidence but seemingly Joe Quaid was at the Kinnitty vs Seir Kieran league semi final on Saturday. He has also resigned as Limerick camogie manager.

Is his appointment now a fait accompli?

I have to say I've noticed that with Galway this year too. Traditionally I would associate Galway with running with the ball and taking on their men but this year they seem to have gone for a more basic and direct formula of getting the ball into the forwards as quickly as possible. It's not a bad i...

With regards St Rynagh's game plan I think a lot of managers come into a team and implement a pre determined game plan on a team when the thing really to do is assess your teams strengths and weaknesses and create a game plan to suit this. I don't think St Rynagh's current style came about as a resu...

Fair point POTH but there's no harm us commenting on the speculation.
