Re: Offaly U20 Hurlers 2025


Munster is looking cagey already. Like Tipp, Klare underwhelmed somewhat. They seemed like they'd get away with it, but the sending off was a lifeline for Cork.

Like James Mahon last week, it seemed an excessive punishment:

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2025

Whoever set the fixtures obviously looked at this forum and said "them lads are only interested in underage success sure they won't mind where the senior match is on" 🤣

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2025


The psychology involved in a game like that one yesterday would have been incredibly difficult for players and management to handle. It's all very well to say "just play to win" but it's not humanly possible to tune out a piece of information that is there in your brain. It's like when there's ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2025



We were comprehsively beaten yesterday granted it was a strange game


Clare only went in front in the 66th minute. Your definition of comprehensively must differ from the usual understanding of the word.


If I said that they were barely beaten, you'd disagree with me 🤣 Had Clare been more ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2025




Let's hope our "championship" isn't over.. of course promotion was our first priority but we could do with a win next Saturday again or we could end up with 3 defeats in a row unless we can cause an upset against Meath, we caught them on the hop a couple years ago but they seem to be a ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2025



Good first half. Disappointing second half.

It's hard not to feel like the Offaly players knew in the backs of their minds that they were getting promoted so took the foot off the gas.

More importantly - we're into division two and have another crack at the Lily Whites under the lights in ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2025




Happy to see a strong team named for tomorrow. No Cathal King or Dan Ravenhill from the last day.


Absolutely meaningless game. Donal Shirley should be rested and if it’s deemed Ter Guinan needs game time due to his extended injury layoff he should be selected at wing back. It’s not as if ...

Re: Offaly U20 Hurlers 2025






Not trying to fool anyone.. expressing my opinion simples.. senior is more important than u20 end of story


I wouldn't say it's that simple but it has to be prioritised, I agree. And probably needs matches to be looked at a case by case basis, as I said there should be a pragmatic approach ...

Re: Offaly Senior Hurlers 2025


I'm not going to get into the whole "rest the U-20s" thing again, because we've done that to death at this stage, there's nothing new to say.

So for the purposes of this argument, let's pretend U-20 hurling doesn't exist, and senior is the only show in town. Even so, I still think this team ...

Dear Leinster council,

We wish to advise that we will only be partaking in one game in the leinster championship this year, the final game against Antrim. We feel that this is the only game that matters. We believe the other games are inconsequential, we ask that you ignore our recent win away ...

Re: Offaly U20 Hurlers 2025






You obviously have no recollection of what happened in the 2018 Leinster championship so.


Of what relevance is that can you explain?


Offaly wasted energy on a game of no consequence to our survival and paid the price.
If Offaly and Antrim are both pointless after week 3, then Offaly ...
