Folks, I haven't been on a Tullamore training field at any stage this year so I've no idea if Stephen Rochford was worth the money that people are assuming he was paid, or not. I will say this however:

(1) Let's not forget that gaelic football in 2025 is a completely different game to what it was ...

Speaking of poaching lads.......has Sean Hurley (currently the best mid fielder in the county in my opinion)been approached to join the county panel for 2026?
Madness if he hasn't.


At 33 years of age with a long injury track record, nearly a decade since he played intercounty, I can see the ...

I'd have to disagree with you there Kevin. However, I do agree with you it needs to be tightened up, the transfer system that is.
But every county board is different. In Dublin and Westmeath for example there is no parish rule. So basically anyone in Westmeath can play for Lomans and anyone in ...

Genuine question here - what happened at the AGM on Friday that was worthy of inclusion in the match report as a possible distraction?
Also, wouldn't it be common enough for a local journalist to attend AGMs if they feel that there might be something in the sporting public interest to report on ...

"I actually agree with Parkinson's idea that a player should have to play 3 seasons with a club before they're allowed to play in Provincial campaign. Because atleast then the player is obviouslty commited to the club and has served his time. This shouldn't be just for Dublin. This should be for ...

In Tullamore's defence, Ballyboden GAA has a population of 30,000. That added in with 3 intercounty players to their team, it's not surprising how strong they looked and the question needs to be asked by Leinster Council about all these inter county transfers playing in the Leinster Campaign. I ...

Very fair post from Bogman above.

For what it's worth, I think the desire to see Tullamore "come back to the back" doesn't stem from any ill-will towards the Blues, but instead it's because the Offaly SFC look quite uncompetitive for the near future and it would be easier to make peace with that ...

It's also pretty factual that when it comes to the 2026 Offaly SHC, Kilcormac-Killoughey will be the clear favourites, but the two teams that will be deemed the most likely to dethrone them, based on the quality within their playing ranks, will be Shinrone and Ballinamere, closely followed by ...

I don't think it's fair to hang that article on Ballinamere, or on anyone frankly. It's like all news, it's there for you to read if you want to, ignore it if you don't. If it was not factual, or misleading, or socially harmful, then if you wanted to take issue, I'd stand there foursquare beside you ...

Was in there for a look all right. Good result and a decent performance, the game was won with a great surge of scores after half-time and almost lost when Conor Egan got a black card and Lusk kicked 0-5 in a row. Sallins seem to be utterly phenomenal at this grade so you'd imagine that a huge ...

Always making excuses for Offaly opposition losing to Kilkenny opposition at every available opportunity. Like Ballyhale have some God given right to beat every Offaly team they face just by turning up. The OP was correct in that the final stage of this KK teams development was to try and win a ...

And again, there's a difference between a Thomastown team that has gone completely bananas after winning the first and only senior club title in their history and a Ballyhale side that is top of the national roll of honour for club All-Ireland titles, with four All-Star winners in the team and ...

I clearly said "By any results metric K/K clearly went backwards." What you did there LS is akin to the Charlie Kirk opponents posting videos of him with absolutely no context.

In Offaly in 2024: P6 W6 D0 L0. Win rate 100%

In Leinster in 2024: P3 W2 D0 L0. Win rate 66%

Compared to

In Offaly in ...

On the actual game itself, which was one where Kilcormac-Killoughey hurled very well for 30 minutes but - in my opinion anyway - that high tempo took a lot of out of them and they certainly needed to go to the bench a lot earlier than they did. Given the circumstances in which Declan Laffan was ...

With regard to the incident at the end, this is from the Garda Press Office this evening:

Gardaí have arrested a man (aged in his 40’s) following a public order incident at a Kilkenny sports ground this afternoon, Sunday 9th November 2025,

He has since been charged, and is scheduled to appear ...
