While it wasn’t the outpouring of emotion from last week this feels far more satisfying. And turning on social media on the way home to see the bitterness from certain media outlets makes it all the sweeter.

I don’t know why but even when Laois got it level with a few minutes to go I still thought ...

Declan Kelly should be rightfully lauded for the under 20 win but he cannot remain on as manager after that. Since he became director of football, our underage has fallen to arguably the worst in Leinster and our senior team conceded 2-20 to a team who hadn’t won a championship game in 11 years.

A ...

So you wouldn’t trust a journalist who’s from Tullamore who’s close to several players and management. Would you rather it came from Martin Breheny or Colm Keyes who probably couldn’t name one offaly player without looking it up?

In Kielys case he has a young family and was in the process of building/buying a house. Inter County GAA is a second full time job for very little reward these days. Especially in smaller counties like Offaly where the prospects for success are small and people constantly sniping at you or harping ...

I think the ideal result for Offaly would be a Cork win today. From memory Meaths last 2 games are Clare and Derry, you’d fancy them 2 to beat Meath and we could stay up on 3 points in theory. But the league does throw up funny results. I think Down are gone, yesterday had to be a gut wrenching blow ...

with absolutely no connection or affiliation to either company, I find it very very strange Carrolls is being replaced (unless it is their own decision of course) by Glenisk...how a company like Glenisk just climbing back onto their feet after the fire and now sponsoring Offaly is a strange one to ...

If I read correctly on the Leinster website, If they beat Antrim at the weekend they will have a home quarter final against the bottom team of the strong group. Which will presumably be Laois. Great chance to get to a semi final. Would be great for the county to even get to a Leinster final. Haven’t ...

Unfortunately the champions league final is going to hit the attendance for both sides. I went to the Galway’s game with 4 lads and none of us are going Saturday night as we want to watch the champions league. Sure the gaa could have moved it to 5 and played the Laois v Westmeath game as a double ...

Offaly drew with Monaghan in the group and went on to beat Roscommon and Louth. Head to head was to be used first if teams were tied, then it went to scores conceded. I think there was 2 groups decided like this. Not sure why. They then went onto best Kildare in the semi finals before losing to ...

Did they not lose to Kildare in the league too?

The days of Offaly, or other small counties, competing for minor or under 21 honours are probable gone. The advancement of team preparation, budgets, S&C and the rest increases the odds of a small county getting enough good players to beat,or compete with the bigger counties is now more or less gone ...
