Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2025


Well it is FACT that Declan Kelly goes against advice of S&C coaches. I've received info from players themselves that they are dogged unnecessarily.

We had a lad called Mickey Harte come in last year and then we won the league. Does everyone else not remember how disastrous DK's first year was ...

Re: Offaly minor football panel 2025



That's up to players and managers and parents to help manage that, whatever way you look at it 17 and 18 year old kids left with no choice is just silly particularly in clubs where they are needed.. if you look at the likes of West Offaly where young lads are joined up to that age and aren't ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2025




Surely there will be a bit of a buzz around the hurlers and with an opportunity to play dublin and get a rattle at them, any and all kildare hurling supporters will show up.. kildare will be on a high, look no doubt they will be easy pickings Leinster next year for everyone including offaly ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2025





Minor and u20 is completely different championship structure than senior. At senior intercounty Provincial championships are completely pointless. Even if you win it every county starts their proper championship from scratch. Tailteann cup and All ireland series are what counties are focused ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2025





If Meath played Offaly in Tailteann cup that year they would've won also. Leinster championship largely irrelevant and Offaly beat them in a meaningless game for both teams. Tailteann cup is Offalys championship, There's literally nothing to be gained from Leinster for anyone now.


Can you ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2025





Bad Meath team managed by Colm O'Rourke. We went on to get beaten convincingly by Wexford in Tailteann cup QF that year. Don't think we've beaten anyone else of note in my living memory.


The same bad meath team that went on to win the tailteann cup that year with a degree of ease

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2025



Double header in Newbridge next Saturday.
Kildare v Dublin Hurling at 4 o’clock.
Kildare v Offaly Football at 6:30.

Not sure of the cross-code support in KE but getting into Newbridge is going to be a nightmare. Not sure if Conleth’s is going to be able for a 15k crowd


15,000????? Not a ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2025





Train/bus is best option here. Only a mug would drive
The stadium itself had good set up when offaly played there a few weeks ago in fairness. Pitch still very narrow. Daniel Flynn back for Kildare. I'd be amazed if Offaly can win this. Offaly with a young team just don't have enough fire ...

Re: Offaly minor football panel 2025


Later in the week, when I've more time, I'll come back and reflect properly on the year for the minors, and our collective appreciation for the great games they've given us over the year.

Just on the much-spoken topic about decoupling minor and senior, it should be noted that from what I can ...

Re: Offaly minor football panel 2025


The lads can hold their heads up alright. This was a good Mayo team and obviously the Mayo mgt had looked closely at Offaly and identified areas within the backline to target. This was as much about using their strengths as any weakness on our part. We responded really well to the early goal and ...
