  • Players attitudes, meeting Dublin players the day after being hammered by them

:joy::joy: ah shtop . That happens all over the country after county finals and the like where rivalries are a lot more intense . Jesus is there anything sacred in the amateur game anymore ??!

OMG

This will shake up things.
The lads who like their GAA analysis along the lines “he will be disappointed with that Joanne” won’t know what to do

These players are big boys. They’ll need to listen up now.

How long in will Dublin funding be blamed for Kildare s problems do you think ?

That 90 second clip was really good. The ‘sleeping giant’ thing kind of applies to Offaly in Hurling too. What right do Offaly have above Laois etc for that title

Offaly have 4 all Ireland wins since 1981, Laois won it once 109 years ago.
I don’t think they could be described as any type of giant

So Offaly are a sleeping Giant?

How can the population of a place be a “perception?”

Wrong sort of population. Blow ins with no loyalty to the parish

Offaly winning things in the 80s & 90s was an anomaly.
They won 3 football in 11 years and nothing either side of that.
They won 2 hurling in 80s and 2 in the 90s and nothing either side of that.

I’m delighted they’ve found happiness with each other, a well matched couple

Offaly were the beneficiaries of gaa investment in the early 70s.

Offaly proved history can be rewritten and if you invest correctly a county of their size can be competitive.

More lies. Offalys growth came out of the schools, the teachers and the clergy

And Bord na Mona

Decent jobs available from ESB and Bord Na Mona in the county at a time of mass emigration a much more relevant factor

We need to start footing turf again

Saw one of the Lowrey brothers interviewed before and this was what he credited Offaly’s football success to
