One such game was the All-Ireland semi-final in 1998 when the referee blew the whistle early and Offaly fans staged a sit-in protest in Croke Park.
A replay was played with Offaly prevailing to advance and beat Kilkenny in the final of that year.
Offaly minor hurlers face the Banner this evening with the game live on TG4 from 7.20pm.
