Which Offaly Person Do You Hate The Most?

“A goal, a goal, a goal for Offaly!”

A simple bit of commentary yet so iconic. Greatest ever GAA moment.

[myboyblue]

Aye, it was the beauty and the combination of the nudge, catch, turn and strike.

Iconic.

[farmerinthecity]

He was getting that ball and going for goal no matter what.

Was Eugene McGee first “outside manager” to win an All ireland

Wonder would Offaly have won an All Ireland without him

They won 2 All Ireland’s in the 70s without him.

was there a father tom gilhooley involved?

[myboyblue]

Holy Moses was incredible. Sit the fuck down.

Curate in Tullamore back then. Might have been Co.Board chairman for a spell.

Liam Connor with the “high, lobbing ball” iirc. He died a young man after, barely 50 I’d say.

58. He was a bouncer in Club 92 in Leopardstown for years. Seemed well liked

Was all down to the quality and delivery of the ball coming in.
D’Offaly lads were well used to torrential rain and that gave Darby the edge.

It rains in Kerry too. A lot more than it does in Offaly I’ll wager.

I’m a Leitrim man, our forté is creative thinking, inventing excuses and saying “no comment”.

[farmerinthecity]

@anon67715551

saying “no comment

No cum-int

[anon67715551]

Hard to believe it’s nearly 40 years ago.

We’d be perched in the Abbey Bar for the 9 o’clock news and that thick Superintendent Culligan would pop up assuring the nation that they had " a ring of steel" around the general area and escape was “impossible”…
Then you look down the counter and see lads you’d know and every one of them were implicated and they laughing their heads off at him.

Heady days…

I have a mighty oul’ yarn concerning a spot of bother I got into that weekend with the aforementioned Supt on the Sunday…I’ll keep it for the day of the Connacht Final.

What years ? I remember being up there one night in elate 90s and a big row broke out …a bouncer pinned me to a pillar by the throat.he’d a right grip of my Adam’s apple …I was like scrappy doo swinging with no reach …I was fuckin gasping for air , he let go but placed me in a head lock and used my head to open a fire exit and fcuk me out …it was very impressive on his part whoever he was …

[ironmoth]

That’s tremendous bouncering in fairness.

[TheUlteriorMotive]

That’s Some bouncing alright.

He was there from mid or late 90s on I think to when he got sick.

[Bartholemew_the_Ladd]

Brian Cowen, no question. A proper cunt.

[myboyblue]

Cowens are 10 a penny below in Offaly.
