Offaly GAA fans are seething after Ger Loughnane made derogatory remarks about their hurlers in the Irish Daily Star.The outspoken pundit, whose Clare team lost to the Faithful County after a memorable three-game saga in the 1998 All-Ireland semi-final, claimed during the course of his preview to the 2014 Allianz Hurling League that Offaly are "the only team in the modern era where you still see players with fat legs, bellies and arses."He also remarked: "Of the 10 teams, Offaly have the greatest scope of all for improvement. But to me, they look like a county living in the Dark Ages."After Loughnane's extraordinary comments, could we be about to witness another sit-down protest from the Faithful? Come to think of it, they're not to take this sitting down!
