Offaly v Westmeath
Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2008 9:13 pm
Last Saturday night, was the most depressing game I have witnessed, im travelling the length & breath of the country following Offaly & its the same old story everytime. When is Pat Roe going to wake up & see that a forward line consists of 6 players and not 2. Westmeath had 4 defenders vs our McNamee & Deehan. Lets face facts he got his tactics wrong. Anyone with a brain could see Alan McNamee should have been taken off, what player goes up for a ball with his eyes closed and hands 4ft apart, Scott Brady is too slow, Pascal Kelleghan is past it & sure everyone wants to blame poor auld McManus when in fact he gives it his all. The main men on the day were Niall Smith, Niall McNamee(although sometimes seems not interested) Karol Slattery & McManus.
A new man is needed for the qualifiers, its backwards we are going. Are we not entitled to have the spirit of the 82 team or the team of 97. Maybe Pat should read the Kings of September to give him & the team a wake up call they need. As supporters we deserve to have the good days back.
Roll on the qualifiers, we have the base of a good team, i know its difficult to manage 30 personalities but with a bit of hard ball, massaging ego's, the balance can be struck. I wear my heart on my jersey I hope others have the same passion both inside & outside the Offaly camp.
