Suppose the difference at the end of the day was that they got 0-10 against the wind and we got 0-04

I think we struggled a little bit in the first half whenever they ran at us and they always managed to hang in there

They were happy enough to sit back in the second half and we had lots of possession but we just weren't able to make it count, lacked a bit of cutting edge up front

A few shrewd football men I was talking to reckoned you did better than we would have, despite whatever drivel was posted here in the last fortnight by know nothings. Hard luck, lots to be taken from this year, go ahead and give division 2 a good rattle next year.

We appreciate your post gaelsboy.
Not a good day at the office for us today but let's hope that both our counties will do well next year.
We lost because Offaly were the better team and deserved their victory.

The amount of turn overs, and possession lost, was criminal.
We didn't make good use of the wind in 1st half, a bit slow on break & transition, and 2 x 2point efforts dropped short.
Hopefully players and management can learn from this, it's the standard we have reach for division 2 football next year.

Thanks to John and the lads, it's been a memorable and mostly enjoyable few months traversing the country.

Well done to John and the lads for what was a great year overall following them around the country. Just came up short today, looked a little tired mentally, got worse as the game went on. Hopefully next year we will have even more of a panel and will be able to rotate lads.

We need to keep john at all costs, because he gets absolutely every drop he can off all the players at his disposal. We punch above ourselves considering we can hardly win a match at underage for the last number of years. He is a great manager
