Re: Next Offaly Senior Hurling Manager

Ime surprised with this appointment, but will go along with the general feeling here that it is a good appointment, as posters will know themselves, there is a bit of nastiness ceeping into some club games in Offaly and when a county goes down that road its always a sign of things not going well. Ho...

Re: Senior A Hurling 2019

havent been on in a while with one thing and another...strange to say Birr drawing with KK seen in some quarters as a shock given their history, but it does open up the pot again somehwhat...a bit of a bore with most teams now more or less guaranteed at least quarter final spots, with the only inter...

Re: Next Offaly Senior Hurling Manager

Forde delivered (eventually) for Rynaghs, then moved back down to Galway..a great reader of the game, I dont know if he would have all the credentials to be manager though, he seems to be always in the background with Galway...maybe he will, but I think Galway CB will be looking for a higher profile...

Re: Senior A Hurling 2019

both Belmont and Kilcormac SHOULD have struggled to get results against Coolderry and Kinnity at the weekend, the games were close, how close would them too games have been if the referee had dished out straight red cards to at least 9/10 players between the 2 clubs after the disgraceful brawl in th...

Re: Next Offaly Senior Hurling Manager

a Belmont player kicked int on Conor Mahon on the ground, in the lead up to the first of the 3 throwins that preceeded the mass brawl...Mahon was putting himself about all evening, but you don't put the boot or foot in on any player on the ground, that's what lead to the throw ins, Mahon got up and ...

Re: Next Offaly Senior Hurling Manager

good man, thanks for that..jaysus if that happened its rough..no need for it...Coolderry not going well at all..seen them against Rynaghs, they just never really done enough to deserve to win that game, particulary in 2nd half..Rynaghs were themselves, hurling well in parts, not convincing but just ...

Re: Next Offaly Senior Hurling Manager

theres a lot being said here about this incident, and all sorts of speculation can be inferred, without naming any individuals can someone give an over view of what went on..if its that sensitive that it cant be (mentioned here) I don't think anyone should then be on here or other media forms discus...

Re: Next Offaly Senior Hurling Manager

I don't think Joachim will go near it after his interview after our relegation to the CR..he and Carroll were very p*ssed off with the criticism they got, no need to rehash all that here now, suffice to say he took on the job at very short notice and with best of intentions...didn't work out, we wer...

Re: Senior A Hurling 2019

Was at 3 Games over weekend..all very similar standard (not brilliant).. Rynaghs got over a Coolderry side who at times looked like they had the winning of the game and then went way off mark, Rynaghs probably deserved to win this game, Shinrone had the beating of Birr all through but were shy in pu...

Re: Senior A Hurling 2019

My predicitons for weekend Senior A are: Coolderry V Rynaghs : Coolderry 2-15 St. Rynaghs 1-20 (Coolderry need a win so not ruling them out getting their act together either, on form, Rynaghs should have enough to get over this game) Birr V Shinrone: Birr 3-15 Shinrone 2-18 (Shinrone, can they get b...

Re: Next Offaly Senior Hurling Manager

I think we could do a lot worse than Joe Quaid, a journey man?..Ime not totally up to speed with all his various jobs but my main memory of him in management is his latest job with Westmeath prior to that Kildare and Limerick camogie some time back, that's hardly a journey man managerial wise, Offal...

Re: Senior A Hurling 2019

I heard there were a few incidents ok, a neutral described it along the lines you stated, a Belmont view point was a wee bit tinted he told me...he told me if they played out the match properly as they were going they would have won..both will take the point for the draw no doubt to keep them top...
