What is hilarious is that you can't read properly
What is also hilarious is that I said 80% of players coming back would be help, not necessarily all. Maybe if you could read and understand what was said, we'd see less of your imbecile comments.
What is also hilarious is that you think everything is grand at the moment with Offaly footballers when they have taken the biggest hammering of any team across all 4 divisions only yesterday and the 3rd worst in our history
I never mentioned anything about Kelly being nasty but you did

Mad how you have never once posted anything resembling an analytical review of a game etc. It's just a case of jumping down the throat of anyone who doesn't fall in line with your views.

You asked who we're missing. People suggest Bill Carroll and you write him off (he'd be our best midielder btw). People bring up Panda and you spread your lies, saying he wanted to start every game, when in reality he was dropped over the phone for no apparent reason.

I won't go through every player as frankly there has been some nonsense posted, with lads harking back to lads who were never really up to it in the first place.

But your opinion appears to be that you should have 15 starting players. Then the rest of the squad should be filled with lads who are inferior to other lads not on the panel - your reason being that if the better lads were in there, you couldn't possibly keep them happy. I suppose that would require some man management.

I'm not even calling for a change of management. It's just bizarre the mental gymnastics you go through in nearly every post.

You devote a significant chunk of your life to defending Declan Kelly online. It's quite bizarre. You also spent an inordinate amount of time talking absolute nonsense about the victorious U20 hurlers of 2024, you were proven catastrophically wrong on that one. I think that account may have been banned in the end....

You're incapable of engaging in anything resembling an adult discussion. You'll probably say you're being bullied now, you're just being called out.

Called on what? Just because I'm not acting like a 5 year old when my team loses ......the team is ravaged with injuries ...you do realise there was a civil war in Kildare when Flanagan dropped all the experience players for his 20s ....this is sport ...it's not rocket science....can you post what I said about the 20s hurlers please

Called on the exact things I mentioned in my post above that you ignored. Kildare are completely irrelevant to us.

You know well what you've been posting on this site in different guises for multiple years, so don't play dumb there.

I never wanted to post on this but Snotser this is suppose to be a forum for offaly Gaa and NOT about your love for a manager, offaly Gaa is bigger than any man, if supporters aren't going to games and players are walking away and others told to go and then getting beat by 23 points is still worth defending for you then so be it, but you are actually ruining the forum for normal gaa people. There is only 4 people in offaly as far as I'm aware that's wants management kept, That's the management and 2 people on this forum. There time has passed sadly, I was all for him getting the job he got out of jail after year 1 though, most people inmlife deserve a 2nd chance but he's chances are well gone now unfortunately. On another note, should we move for change now and try get something out of the year or should we let him see out the year? I'm on the fence on this one. What's your guys opinions on this please.

This page clearly means a little too much to you and you are spending too much time thinking about it you honestly think I'm setting up different accounts for some reason ....why would I even do that ...my name's not even on my account why would I be making up accounts...

Called on what , go on explain

Called on having a different opinion to is it ?

Ok. Fail to address the points raised in the above post again, good man. Your only riposte is to call everyone else a five year old.

Everyone else is wrong, you're right, I suppose. You're embarrassing yourself again and again here, you haven't a clue and are unable to engage in debate without resorting to juvenile and emotional jibes.

Think we need to go back to this point of ignoring Snotser.
Unable to engage in any debate and responds with juvenile jibes. We might consider communication again in the future if by some how marturity & sense miraculasly comes upon you.

With regards Offaly senior footballers (which this forum is about),

Look it is what it is now at this stage in the league. People can see from themselves what's going on and make their own judgements. I feel as if it's very much a case now for team and management of just damage limitation in the league and preparing/hoping/praying all the eggs in one basket of a Tailteann Cup when injuries return.

On this, I think it still will be very difficult. Talent wise, we'd have enough. But with form so low in the league and morale glaringly low too. It's not as easy as... we get a few lads back, we'll be grand. But definitely seems to be the great white hope at the minute for a good year is to win the Tailteann and hope injuries come back and solve the big gaps.

Will management change the team up much at the weekend to give lads bodies a break.
Tyrone probably not going as well as they’d like to after suffering a defeat to Louth. Only problem now is they need to win all there games so any chance we had of them resting lads is gone now. Hopefully we can be some way competitive and work on a defensive structure this week. A bad team with a good structure is as good a decent team with none.

Playing Lee while carrying a quad injury was the wrong thing to do. The head physio walked because he wasn't being listened to. And the injuries have mounted up even more since he left. David Dempsey is out now too, after picking up an injury Saturday. Not sure if any of the other injured lads are close to a return, but the championship is slowly creeping up on us.

As far as The senior footballers are concerned, it seems to be one bad story after another with now Lee and David injured. It seems like we're constantly chasing our tails in terms of just getting bodies on the field. The task has nearly become a mission impossible and the negativity around the county is palpable. It's the talk of the county. Everyone is descending on the mount. I've never seen negativity like it. It's everywhere. People are, in many respects, voting with their feet. There's small crowds at both our home games and I'd imagine even basically no one at our away games. So people are starting to vote with their feet, which is really, really worrying. But I suppose all we can do is, as a county, rally behind the guys now because it's tough from where the players are at and the management. We need to get behind the management and the players. Declan Kelly has given a lot to Offaly and whatever people's views are, he's still, he's trying his best and the same with Mickey Harte, a GAA legend. It might be not working out for the boys at the moment, but they're trying their best and the players are definitely trying their best. So we just need to rally behind them more than ever now, more than ever these next three games, especially our last two home games. We need to just try and get behind the guys and give them a bit of something to try and help them along this really, really difficult patch. And hopefully we get bodies back and we, we win the Tailteann Cup. I think if we don't win the Taikttean Cup this year, it's been a really bad year. But if we win it, it salvages something. So that's kind of where the focus is probably at now.

This is going to get worse before it gets better I think. The loss of Dempsey and Pearson are massive. Hopefully they won't be out for too long. If it is the case that Pearson played on an injury, then it is wrong and serious questions need to be asked,
I think it would be wrong thing to do to make any imminent change. The management are in for the year and have made moves on squad design, game pans etc. They should be let to see out the year, and championship to be fair. After that, based on how the year goes, there should be a review whereupon co board decides what happens. Hopefully things turn around in meantime where we can be somewhat ore positive than things are currently. That is an optimistic take on all and in interests of fairness, I think both management and the players that have trained since last October or so deserve a fair crack at the year as agreed at outset.
