I'm surprised Mac isn't included and I'd be disappointed for him if he isn't called in. Hopefully, Sean Boylan and the selectors haven't listed to some of Joe Brolly's silly criticism. (Who are the selectors this year, I can't remember?)
I also don't think it would be fair to include Sean Og again ...

I appreciate my predictions took a serious turn for the worst last weekend, but I still think Shamrocks deserve to be second favourites.
I held the opinion for a few years that Shamrocks would not be serious contenders because Ronan Mooney was unavailable and I think the absence of Mark Daly rules ...

Just to fill you in, Lone Shark, there is actually a Rule Book Task Force up and running at the moment. They have met loads of times, have taken submissions on board, and produced a report report for last April's Congress in Killarney. As far as I know, there will be a special Congress later this ...

You can trust me, Lone Shark, the good people of Coolderry and Shamrocks won't hold any grudges. I'd say you'd have given Coolderry a ten point winning margin. It finished Coolderry 3-13, Shamrocks 3-5.

I thought we'd be closer to Meath. I saw the league game earlier in the year and there wasn't as much between them. Some of the players who lined out for Offaly at this grade last year haven't been able to make a better impact this season, which is slightly disappointing.
However, I've a lot of ...

I'd like to know whether or not there was a toss. I presume the home and away agreement with Laois was continued for this game. I wouldn't mind if it was although with the power Laois seem to have in the corridors of the Leinster Council, there's every chance the next meeting between the counties ...

I watched the first half of Offaly v Wexford again last night and, lads, let's face it - if we allow Dublin to run through us like Wexford did in the opening 20 minutes, we can forget about it. They surged through from the half back line and midfield and if Dublin are allowed to do the same, they'll ...

Have to say I agree with DD that some of the Sunday Game football panellists are very poor. I dread it when Paul Curran and Bernard Flynn are on together and as for Tommy 'I mean' 'you know' Lyons, surely there must be someone better out there.
In fairness to Anthony Tohill, he doesn't make the ...
