Sadly The heroes of 21 unfortunately have become the villians of 24, its harsh in a way but players ultimately will be judged on how they perform at the top level. Often heard it said "what ever happened to such and such, wasn't he on that u21 team, where did he go" I don't get to go to many matches these days but by all accounts we didn't show up at all against London and if you're not at it and not tuned in, you can get beaten and these kinda things can happen although it is certainly not excuseble. I got to a couple league games this year and we seemed to play some very good football at times when we got it together.. in particular against clare and wicklow.. the limerick game was one I was at, a strange game and I don't think tomorrow will be anything like it, we were poor and had to battle after starting a bit on the back foot but dominating most of the game.. limerick are poor enough and if we are switched on from the start and go at it and get on the front foot we can come out with a 6/7 point win, if we don't then we could lose by the same margin.. I'm heading to this match and have mapped out my plans to go to all the matches in the TC, at least that way if we win it I can look back and say I saw it, apart from the London game and that wasnt pretty viewing anyway.. Under no illusions we need a revival and even at that, there are some very strong teams in there Down, Sligo, Fermanagh and kildare in particular with the latter now finding themselves again. Offalys ambition has to be to try win a tailteann cup, has to be our aim and promotion from division 3 gettin the chance the compete against the top teams. Let's hope the team and the county can start to embrace what is our level and our all ireland now. Nothin against Rathkeale but why is it there? Anywau Best of luck to the lads tomorrow.

Declan Hogan for Cathal Donoghue
Jack O’Brien for Rory Egan
Ruairi Mcnamee for Cathal Flynn
Nigel Dunne for Cian Farrell

Presume that means Peter Cunningham to midfield.

Some of the lads he didn’t think he needed might just save him his job..

It could be worse, they could have brought us to Newcastlewest which is practically Kerry. Rathkeale has a tiny stand and other than that is a reasonable ground, but I guess its there as the 300 or so Limerick fans will make the noise of 3000 and they see this as an opportunity to get one over on an Offaly team who are traditionally bad travellers (pardon the pun)in these competitions!

Best of luck to the team and management! Players need to own this and down there, most importantly will be discipline, and work.

You are a proper fan girl. Do you have your head buried in the sand with how the older lads were treated from day dot - Panda, Conor Mc, Cian O’D and the aforementioned.

None of the players you mentioned there were mentioned in the above post! Tell me so how these lads were treated? The lads actually mentioned have been a huge part of the team this year! You were probably one of the lads crying about the same players you mentioned and looking for the u20 lads to be brought in (all of whom by the way have been our best performers)!
