How can offaly expect to go out and hurl against Kilkenny when they have a serious case of Stockholm Syndrome where the Cats are concerned, as exemplified by Duignan?
Where has the old Offaly spirit gone?

I heard that most of the crowd were wearing those half Kilkenny, half Offaly jersies.

Aye, its sad to see the Wexford and Offaly lads basically kowtow to KK hurling on a non stop basis. No self-respect.

That's a bad beating by any standards.
There has to be a decent pick of 15 that can put up a better show than that?

Offalys strength at the moment is not the point. Clare for eg might get a trimming every time they played KK but you wouldnt hear a Clareman going on the way duignan does. Offaly are pu$$ywhipped and this will trouble them even when a good new team emerges. Clare, Limerick etc wont be like that.
offaly always fall back on the kk/kerry thing but those times are fading fast. How long is it since Offaly won even a Leinster title in anything. Over 20 years is it?

Other counties regularly go out and beat Kilkenny, so it must be just an issue that Offaly and Wexford have with respecting KK too much.Oh wait...

you got there just before me Lopper. As we all know the only reason they still have a munster championship is to give a munster captain an opportunity to make a speech in front of a crowd.

Originally posted by lovelyriver:
Ah that clears it up. They probably have to do that when every county in Munster has won a provincial title in the last 3 years.

there's far too much respect for kilkenny within Leinster. they are a great team but once great hurling counties are far too respectful at the moment.
Tipp are dominant in munster the last few years but do you think they'll ever be handed a munster title? they're always tested.In fairness Dublin have tried to offer a challenge in the last few years and im convinced Galway can actually beat the cats in Leinster this year
