Replying To Viking66:  "Leitrim were poor overall, when I got there and saw Barry McNulty in a protective boot I was thinking we would win.
At the same time they brought on a sub, number 20, think his name is Jack Kelly, and his performance was worth the drive up by itself. Apparently hes only 19 but along with Whitaker from Westmeath he was a shining light this year for me for how Football should be played."
Would you believe his grandfather was a Wexford man.

Replying To Magpie2:  "So it's Offaly next weekend.
This will be a serious challenge for us no doubt.
Offaly have been impressive in their games so far.
They beat the favourites Down by 8 points last week and they have home advantage.
They will possess more firepower and will be much tighter markers than Leitrim.
They will bring a big crowd to Tullamore and it will be a hostile environment.
It will be an opportunity for the lads to show that we are capable of competing with and beating higher placed opponents.
A repeat of our 2nd half showing last Saturday will not be good enough.
Hopefully we will have a full deck to choose from.
It's going to be a big ask to come out on top in this game but if we play good attacking football and take the chances that come our way, we might snatch a win and advance to the semi finals."
We tend to follow an impressive result with a less than impressive one so you could argue we had both the last day out - just decided to do it in the one game. 50/50 I would say, getting promoted was one thing but time to now stand up and put in an 70min performance

Just looking up the league tables and I see Offaly finished bottom of divison 2 having lost all their games and will now be playing in divison3.
So in fact we are now ranked higher than them as we will be in the 2nd division.
Offaly and many other teams claimed that injuries were responsible for their poor results in the league. Then miraculously most of them are fully fit again when the championship comes around.
If we have the belief and confidence next Saturday I really think we can win this game.However it won't be easy as Offaly have had a good run in the Tailteen and will be thinking they can get the better of us. It's up to us to prove them wrong.

They were severely hampered by injuries in fairness during the leauge. Worse than any team. Unlucky in Tailteann last year, lost to eventual winners Kildare by a point having beaten them in Div 3 final. Hope I am wrong- but looks a step too far.

Agree Id have Offaly as favourites. But we arent unbackable outsiders either. It wouldn't be a huge shock to anyone around the country if we win up in Tullamore.

If we do win on Saturday, that will change the structure of our own club championships. Do you know the details of the changes?

2/ 1 to win Saturday, offaly 1 /2,
Hopefully the lads can upset the odds.

Any up to date injury news ? Will E Nolan be OK, he was sorely missed in 2nd half last week.

No it won't. Only way that'll change is if we reach Tailteann Final. As I posted on the previous page here just a few days ago, when somebody else asked about structure & starting dates:

- If we lose next on Saturday, then club championships will start weekend commencing Friday June 26, with the usual format.

- If we make but lose a TC semi-final next weekend (June 20/21), then club championships will start weekend commencing Friday July 3. Again, same format. Only difference is there won't be a free weekend.

- If footballers make it all the way to the Tailteann Final on July 11, club championships go back to the weekend commencing Friday July 24, and we move to the other format where it'd still be six teams in each group, but just the top two going straight through to semi-finals. Bottom two in each group to play relegation semi-finals.
