502

503

He’s in LIT, very pacy, handy hurler. From what I’ve heard, the commitment of intercounty hurling doesn’t exactly suit him but he’s one of their better players alright.

505

He was probably right . A draw wasn’t worth a shit to Offaly . They needed 2 scores

506

True but easier try to come back for the point than the goal

507

The Kerry man behind Buff was priceless, the Offaly lads trying to get at the ref and the Kerry man roaring at them “HOI HOI HOI GET OFF THE FOCKIN FIEEEEELLLD YA CUNT!!!”

Kerry won’t shed any tears for Offaly anyway that’s for sure

Possibly even probably but there was a forest of men between Shane Dooley and goal and 40 or so yards .

About 15 times as many posts about Kerry and Offally in a Joe McDonagh relegation dogfight as there was about ireland gibraltar the other night.

RTE (and @rocko) take note

And why should they… Fuck Offaly. :wave:

512

Next stop the Nicky Rackard for Offaly.

What a mess. They’ve let hurling in the county die away.

Well done Kerry. Probably didn’t have as good players as Offaly but they had balls and guts which saw them home.

513

Kerry have gone a good bit back from when CiarĂĄn was in charge.

514

Well done @Julio_Geordio and @corner_back tipping Kerry to win that. Hon the Kingdom!

Down vs Meath in the Christy Ring Final I see, without having followed it to any extent you’d fancy Meath to win and go up.

517

Is there a fourth division below Christy Ring that Offaly might fall to? Where the lines Warwickshire and Lancashire are playing?

518

There’s two more levels below that, but they’ll be fine at Christy ring. There’s two or three okay sides down there but the rest are woeful. They should have plenty on paper to come up but with the format after the first few rounds you can be caught on a day and the year is over.

519

The next is Nicky Rackard and then you have the absolute dungeon of Lory Meagher, where you’re playing against lads from Manchester, the Isle of Man and Leitrim. I’d say they are probably safe enough from dropping that far somehow.
