The small crowds attending our senior football matches is mind blowing. Was there a 100 offaly supporters in o connor Park yesterday? Meath as expected brought a big crowd,
There is a disconnect somewhere and I have stated previously maybe an all offaly fresh management would rejuvenated that side ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026
As far as The senior footballers are concerned, it seems to be one bad story after another with now Lee and David injured. It seems like we're constantly chasing our tails in terms of just getting bodies on the field. The task has nearly become a mission impossible and the negativity around the ...

I can't disagree, DK did deliver an all Ireland against all the odds and he is an Offaly Man as well.

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026
There’s a huge volume of injuries at the moment, and serious questions probably need to be asked about why that is. It may well be down to sheer bad luck, but the number of injuries is alarming, and we’re suffering badly because of our lack of depth as a result.

Re: Underage Hurling and Football 2025
If the minors were well beaten, you might put it down as a one-off, but you’d have to be concerned about the manner of the defeat. They were only missing three players all strong players, admittedly but still, only three. You’d imagine Cork were well short of full strength themselves, given the size ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026
Ah now, the team Saturday would beat that team by 10 pts, in all truth the athleticism just wouldn't be there . Now I understand what you are trying to say but that particular team is poor enough and our team on Saturday would win . The players there on that team have played a lot for Offaly and wer ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026
This debate is likely to continue indefinitely, but in many ways it has become irrelevant. There are those who are firmly proDeclan Kelly and those who are strongly opposed to him. Often, those positions are shaped by personal factors,whether someone is a clubmate, a family friend, or directly ...

Re: Club Managers 2024
Bracknah look set to stay with the same management team, and that’s no bad thing. They’re a seasoned, mature group at this stage and very settled. With very few county players, they play a huge amount of football together, which really shows during the league campaign. The chemistry they build gives ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026
I think that’s a really good point. I see Declan Kelly being there for a time. Mickey Harte might not be. He could finish up at the end of this year, or possibly do one more after that, but I’d imagine that will be it. Declan, on the other hand, I can see staying for at least the next 3 years.

Re: Club Managers 2024
Whats Tullamore's ceiling? They felt leinster and got trimmed. That can happen...they will probably win 4 in a row with or without Rochford ...others will learn off him yes but thst feels like a very loose positive spin on the situation.
Ferbane, not good enough to beat Tullamore unfortunately but ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026
Great post, JimBob. All of the individuals mentioned have given an enormous amount to Offaly football over the past 20 years, and in some cases 40 or 50 years. They are all deserving of respect, and their CVs certainly stand up to scrutiny.
I completely agree that every one or most of these people ...

Re: Offaly Senior Football 2026
While I was initially frustrated by the result in the O’Byrne Cup against Westmeath, it’s important to put that game into perspective. The O’Byrne Cup is, by design, a preparatory competition, a chance for management to experiment with Teams, tactics, and player combinations. It doesn’t define the ...

Re: Underage Hurling and Football 2025
The pick of offaly loosing to one westmeath school is a hard pill to swallow regardless of circumstances and context . there is loads of coaching workshops that tick boxes and look good and bring in all these "big names" I find it all a social media PR stunt . We need substance. Excellent coaches in ...
