There’s a comeback in Offaly here if they play it right
Good night Irene
A simple Westmeath one -two is unravelling Offalys defence time and time again …
Offaly will regret 3 solid gold goal chances there. Totally exposed at the back from going forward
Westmeath are a fine team … lovely passing and running from defence to attack … game was over as a contest very early … Fitmaurice spent a lot of time making excuses for Offaly , looking out for his buddy Tomas …Westmeath keeper must have successfully done the same short kick out to his left for nearly all the second half …
Offaly won’t be far off in a few years. A very well run county who are doing things right. Very admirable.
Westmeath are far more admirable and without half the tradition as Offaly in either code…serious credit deserved…

Winner of the competition should get a quarter final slot, would bring it on hugely.
You’re not far wrong I reckon.

Ah for fuck sake, don’t tell me Laois are going to join the Wexford/Offaly/Kilkenny love-in. That’s not how local rivalries are supposed to work.

Laois are getting badly exposed in all this … all others around them finding a way …and the Laois lads blaming the dubs funding for their woes

Offaly are an incredibly admirable county, why would it be wrong to acknowledge that?
Because they’re Offaly.
You Leinster boys have a very mature attitude to rivalry…
A great bunch of lads
Fairly slack crowds. I thought Croke Park needed a crowd of at least 35k to break even on match days.
That was a decent crowd today. I think the mood music around the tailteann cup appears to be positive. Looks like its going to be deemed a success at years end.

It was absolutely mental having those on there in the first place, particularly if that break-even thing is true. It’s just continuous at this stage.
Cavan-Sligo should have been on in the Hyde. Westmeath-Offaly in Portlaoise.
