Blue, I’d take a one point win at this stage, this is a very tricky encounter, I think a lot of people are underestimating this Offaly team. Anything below our best and we will be in troubleCork by 6+ and a happy end to our inter county season
Fussy chap. Even at club level.Chris Mooney (Dublin) reffing it. Don't know a whole pile about him tbh.
Not to our liking so.Fussy chap. Even at club level.
I think Ben hasn't always got his timing in tackles correct at this level from a lack of hurling match practice, he was the total opposite last year in the County Senior Championship games and the Munster Club semi v Ballyea. He looked rusty v Charleville but much sharper afterwards. However he paid the penalty for a couple of late body hits and got sent off v Limerick while in the same game Adam English jabbed a player with his stick in the lower stomach/privates area and the ref and linesman didn't want to know.Ben O Connor plays a very physical game, hopefully the ref leaves the game flow because giving away frees against a smaller team could be our downfall.
