But the review is of the performance of this year's management teams, not of putting in coaching structures of the modern game, player pathways etc. That's why I feel it would be better to have a local figure (involved in club management preferably) involved as they would have a better feel of what ...

Great to see Brian Gavin and P Fleury are part of the group reviewing appointment of hurling managers at minor U20and senior .Both know Offaly hurling I have to say I disagree about Pat Fleury. He lives in Ahane in Limerick and is removed from the day to day workings of Offaly hurling. Also I haven...

I wonder what the committee's musings on Kevin Ryan will be. On the one hand they were would be serious egg on the county board's faces if they recommend to remove him after one year and would they have the drive to face into another managerial search. On the other hand Offaly's tactics this year le...

After a year or even two, progress and development of a team are key indicators of how a manager is getting on. However after 3 years surely results have to be assessed. Under Pat Flanagan, Offaly's championship record is P10, W3, L6, D1 (One of those wins was over London) Offaly's entire competitiv...

According to any member of the Offaly senior panel that I have spoken to, Eamon Kelly was held in the highest regard. He introduced the hurlers to GPS tracking and had a very professional setup with him. However the manner of his departure (regardless of who you believe), and where he subsequently r...

3 of those games in the SHC look like non-events at this juncture. Birr, Banagher and Clareen will easily account for Shamrocks, Tullamore and Clodiagh Gaels respectively. And while Lusmagh will be really aiming to turn over Coolderry, if Coolderry are at full strength and hurling relatively well th...

I was quite disappointed following a recent conversation I had with a backroom team member involved with the Offaly senior footballers following the Westmeath replay. He used phrases such as "don't care enough " and "didn't want to win" when discussing the events of the previous ...

Huge numbers in attendence???

Have you been to any Offaly hurling or football matches since the turn of the decade?

We must be one of the worst supported counties in Ireland.

That result against Tipp is correct.

Seamus Callinan scored 5 of the goals seemingly.

The Leinster semi finals are not being played as a double header. If we win Sunday we would play Dublin on Sunday 25th. Read somewhere the Leinster Council might bring Dublin out of Croker again. I reckon we'd take them in Newbridge :) Afraid not. It seems the Leinster JFC final is on at 2pm and th...

A 30 point hammering for the Laois minors today at the hands of Kilkenny starkly illustrates how far off the pace we are.

I would have taught they could have done who plays who (first second third, etc games) at this stage.. The football first round was completed.. Rumours are football april 8th & 9th, hurling 15th and 16ht anf another football 22nd and 23rd Surely they will put on two rounds of the senior hurling...

Sam, You have actually become a caricature of yourself at this stage. In your urge to name as many players as possible that aren't currently hurling with Offaly in your "Best 15" you've managed to pick a team with 16 players. I for one am totally sick of your incessant referencing of playe...

At the moment it seems the team doesn't be announced to the players until an hour before throw in so if a team
is released I wouldn't pay much heeed to it.

There wouldnt have been 84 people at it if it was on in Tullamore.
