Re: Club Football 2026

I'd agree the MOTM given by KC is hit and miss but the aforementioned names would regularly be in the top 5 performers on the pitch week in, week out.

Re: Club Football 2026



The emergence of Brian Duignan as a footballer has been incredible this year.
Was always a big athletic lad that could kick ball to a decent enough club level.

But he now looks County level standard. Im sure Solan might be trying to lure him over to the big ball. But I'd say it would be a minor ...

Re: Offaly Club Hurling 2026



Always a help to look at a statistic here and there ahead of selecting the weekend's winners. Here's some basic ones.

St Rynaghs vs Shinrone

St Rynaghs averages per game:
Goals scored 1.75
Points scored 20.5
Goals conceded 0.5
Points conceded 20.5

Shinrone averages per game:
Goals scored 1 ...

Re: Offaly Club Hurling 2026



Shinrone and Rynaghs will be a good Quarter final - winners play KK I think...One would think Rynaghs hurled that bit better all championship, that said Shinrone have come good when required. Belmont and Birr will be interesting, Belmont will probably be favourites possibly given then ran ...

They should indeed. Repeat pairings should be avoided where possible.

Similar has happened in the lower grades of the football where semis are repeats of group games. Doesn't make any sense.

First rule change should be to abolish the seeding. The draw for the Offaly SHC is seeded to within an inch ot it’s life. An absolute nonsense.


And have one group with KK, Ballinamere ...

Re: Club Football 2026


Jaysus there's some nonsense on here.

(1) If you can't see that Shamrocks have improved this year, you don't understand football. They had a dire first half against Ferbane (with, as described, half of last year's team unavailable) but one 30 minute spell does not negate the rest of the season ...

Re: Club Football 2026






Where is the bi-polar A!? It is a perfectly legitimate statement. You can know a lot about football and still lose a match as a manager. Just because you know a lot about football doesn't mean your team will win. By your definition, a Mick O'Dwyer trained Wicklow should have won the Leinster ...

Re: Club Football 2026

The above post is A-grade waffle that doesn't even warrant a response.

It's hard to take a poster seriously who once created an entire topic dedicated to campaigning for the return of a certain player under Maughan.

Why people feel the need to cosplay as supporters of one club while spending all ...

Re: Club Football 2026




Think C Kenny was up around top of charts last year also from play. Offaly should be asking him in. He is better than plenty of lads last management had in there.

Also, if you were from Rhode, you'd be absolutely delighted at how they have gone so far, particularly given level of disrespect ...

Re: Club Football 2026


I'm sure if some of the senior players in the Shamrocks dressing room picked up on any unease about it, they'd have had a quiet chat with Nigel and told him that it would generally go down better with some of the younger lads if he just played junior ball for the year. Instead he's there with the ...

Re: Club Football 2026



I don't know how the player-manager arrangement is supposed to work. You start a player and then at halftime, you tell him he's not been good enough so he's coming off and being replaced by you? It wouldn't be long before you foster contempt among a cohort of players.



Is that not how all ...

Re: Club Football 2026

The first thing to say is the overall quality for two games between the top four teams was very very poor. Solan wouldn't have picked out too many new players and the ones he might have are on the hurling panel.

On the games themselves, Ferbane looked the best of the four. They blew Shamrocks away ...

Just to add on publishing the text - he was fully entitled to do so and in many ways would've been failing in his duty as a journalist if he didn't publish it.

Those unhappy are obviously connected in some way to the club. It's not like it was a big secret anyway, it was sent to a group chat with ...
