Ah he was yea. I’m almost sure of it. Didnt Martin beag manage Sligo as well when he was there?

The days of the one college footballer are long gone, pal.

myboyblue · December 1, 2016, 10:24pm

Of course it is, Woolberto broke that mould back in the day.

I just find it odd that Martin is following his son around college.

In shock development Offaly lads’ fitness appears to be poorer than their opponents.

This is every school in the county bar Birr I think. Good to see them competitive.

Offaly seem to be getting their act together a bit (it wouldn’t be hard) at underage. They won that Celtic challenge tournament during the summer and also had a handy tournament at the Arrabawn beating Limerick and Clare. Small shoots and all that. It will be 10 years before it manifests itself at senior at least though.

How many interco seniors in that 15?

And who will they meet in the final?

Nembo_Kid · January 5, 2017, 2:14pm

All panelists and about another 6 or 7 on the bench.

ciarancareyshurlingarmy · January 5, 2017, 2:18pm

Interesting, that is some loading. UCD & DCU could hardly match it.

And who will make the final?

myboyblue · January 18, 2017, 1:27pm

Dreadful spelling from the All Ireland referee btw, but as always, man getting hit in the balls will always be funny.

Gman · January 18, 2017, 4:04pm

I know the mentor in the blue jacket, and think I recognise the chap holding his balls.

Joe_Player · January 22, 2017, 6:53pm

Kk will show ye how good ye are

Appendage · January 22, 2017, 7:53pm

That bates all seeing as you probably attended that kip.

ciarancareyshurlingarmy · January 25, 2017, 3:42pm

Crowd in UL today for sigerson v Maynooth

myboyblue · January 25, 2017, 4:08pm

The numbers on the back o the UL shirts are disgraceful.

Sidney · January 25, 2017, 5:16pm

Great to see the famous “bank” packed for the competition that has captured the nation’s imagination yet again this year.

Mac · January 25, 2017, 5:19pm

Am sure there was a crowd of around 10,000 on the bank behind the photographer

the_man_himself · January 25, 2017, 5:21pm

That’s a decent crowd considering it’s football

Nembo_Kid · January 31, 2017, 3:52pm

UUJ look like they will survive a big scare from the pigs.

Game went to ET but looks like they will see it through.
