Fierce disappointing tonight. Reality check for players and management of where we are right now in relation to top level.

10 years ago when S&C was considered integral in every single hurling county, Offaly county and clubs were miles off. In the intervening period, some clubs have adopted it ...

Minors are playing Dublin next week I believe so will be under pressure for that one. Would've assumed Tullamore would have had strong supply of players for this given they won the U16 fairly easily in 2025. Anyone have any idea of who is still there from last years successful Leinster minor winning ...

I was reliably informed that Marty Morrissey made a comment on the radio re the low attendance of 625 supporters also. For a Div 2 game, it is quite shocking really. It is most disappointing to be honest, particularly with a lot on the line yesterday and the fact that Cavan outnumbered us is fairly ...

These group of players are been hamstrung by this MGT team it’s not right what’s going on.
The persistence in playing a player from Dublin who from what iv seen is a very average club player over Harry Plunkett a proven scorer and one of the players we posses who can kick from distance is gone ...

Speaking of younger players. Is there a senior development squad in training? I know there was one two yrs ago and possibly last year also.

If so, any idea who is on the squad that might make leap to senior panel in next year or so.

One of said players that you have knowledge on is one of maybe 50 I named. They are not 'my players' at all as you suggest. They are either former, current or possibly future Offaly players. There are actually another 49 if the lad you refer to won't do that role so you are actually reaffirming my ...

Interesting that you should mention wrong side of 30. I was only actually chatting a friend of mine last week who is a former Armagh footballer. We were chatting about the 2024 success and he told me that of the Armagh squad that won that 2024 All-Ireland, 15 of the panel were 29 or older and 10 ...

I'm sorry Jim Bob...you are really getting on my wick now!

That list of players is a joke.
1. We have a management in place to the end of the season
2. We havea current squad in there
3. I think you amongst many others have said that its time to move on from slating mgt continuously and support ...

Any update on Clonbullogue or Durrow managements? The leagues will be starting fairly soon I'd imagine.

They got a bit of beating few weeks ago v Cork in league but at that stage, i'd assume management are only trying lads out and may not have had all available with schools still going? Haven't heard of any results since but there was 6 or 7 lads from last year's panel who should be still knocking ...

Football is different to hurling in that it really is a team game where you are very reliant on those around you. Hurling allows for more individual flair where standout players get to standout. As a comparison, compare how many of that Armagh All-Ireland winning team from 2024 stand out as ...

I wouldn't put a ceiling on where we could go with full buy in, everybody fit and a serious management team. Look at Louth last year. Look at Meath and where they came from. Success brings success. 98 was like a different time and came after that 97 lift. Pay as much heed to that league success as ...

As a reasonable and neutral observer, it's easy to see that while you might say that DB has an obsession with DK in management, it's also very easy to see that Snotser and Wingback have shown equal if not greater obsessions with defending the indefensible across this forum in recent times. 3 posts ...

That's not an interesting question ...it's just petty hate as usual ....the hurlers still haven't scored a goal in their league campaign ...we could ask the same questions of them .....you can't compare offaly football now to when you had the grennans, the malones, claffey , Daly , McManus etc etc ...

Just out of interest, what is the actual win rate between league and champ over last 3 years to date? What are the numbers involved?

I wouldnt count O'B Cup as often these are just games for trying lads out.

Year one wasn't hectic from what I recall, but they won at least 5 if not 6 games in ...
