I'll only be happy once they ditch that azzuri crowd. For 15 years weve had to endure this cheap looking training type gear while most other counties have class o'neills stuff. God some of the kits weve had are awful. Especially the year we won the minor all ireland

always taught the azzuri gear was fine the jersey was descent and from an outsider looking in it represents the strength of waterford hurling in the last 15 years ,and no matter how bad the track suites looked they did still win the all ireland

Given that azzurrai are a Waterford company it'll be a long while before that happens

I've liked some of the Azzurri kits, not liked others. The 2015 model, I do not like. Bottom line though, I think the County Board should be applauded for supporting a local business providing local jobs.

blue note · 23-11-2015 1:43pm

I like our jerseys and it's a local factory so as long as they're not taking the p1ss in fleecing the county board we should use them.

I can see that side of it.

Just never liked their kits from the start. The one we won the 04 Munster final in was ugly, the one we won the minor All Ireland in was horrendous. There was one I did like when we won the 2010 Munster final where Dan got the goal in extra time was quite nice, but its gone downhill since then again. Cant please us all I suppose but the initial O'Neill's stuff from when we 'broke through' in 98 up until 02 before we changed to Azzuri was so much nicer.

What's the deal with a school teacher looking after a harty cup team & the county minor manager (whatever his name is) both putting young lads under immense pressure to choose one against the other?? young lads have enough on their plate without that carry on. Some managers only care about their own CV and nothing else.

I don't know.
What is the deal? Which school?

Congratulations Maurice Shanahan on winning hurler of the year. What a man. The way he stepped up to the plate after Pauric Mahony got injured he was absolutely phenomenal for us and with all due respect to Mahony it turns out he wasnt really missed at all. Given where Maurice bounced back from the year before he was in a low place both on and off the field this is a fantastic achievement. No doubt his brother Dan had a big influence on him as he too was a late bloomer in his career and grew to be a top player after dealing with a lot of adversity earlier in his career. Undoubtedly they will be disappointed with how Lismore finished up relegated but Maurice can be very proud after his year and a credit to himself his club, his family and county. Weldone Maurice.

Pauric was missed terribly, thankfully we have a panel of players who are all decent , gone are the days if eoin kelly or mullane were having a hissy fit we would lose the game

Of course, what I meant was that after paudie got injured people said there was no one to step up and lead the attack. Not many expected Maurice to step in and have the year he had. Will be interesting to see where Mahony fits in when he returns as Maurice is very mu h the main man now

Fits in? They play in two completely different positions. Mahoney will go straight back in centre forward. Maurice will stay full. I do wonder do some people on here actually know what they are talking about. Just cause Maurice took over the frees does not mean that he replaced Mahony in any other way

In fairness before Mahoney got injured shanahan wouldn't have been a gaurenteed starter even.....he was pure phonemonal all year
It would be hard to justify taking the frees off him again IMO

Though a forward line with both is an interestin prospect

The forward line was built around Mahoney for the league last year(similar to shefflin and kk)...I was worried when he got injured as I taught the forwards would struggle and didn't rate shanahan on frees enough....glad I was wrong

I always assumed he was taken off frees as it was too much pressure ,he was expected to win matches onn his own and when it didnt happen, im not surprised he took a turn .

I have no probs with his free taking ability, on one hand it can get his confidence up early and lead to his out the field play being better, on the other its a lot of responsiblity

What I mean is that Mahony, like shanahan is much more influential to a team when he's on the frees. You make the positioning sound as if we play an orthodox 6 man forward line. Did you not watch us last year yourself? Maurice spent the year roaming between the half forward line and a 2 man full forward line. Not saying both cant play together all I'm saying is it will be intersting to see a forwatd line with both lads on top of their game as said above Maurice was hardly a starter before Paudie got injured as imo Maurice struggles for confidence when hes not leading the attack.

I heard a few weeks back that Steven Daniels is taking a year out from the County team for 2016

Congrats to Clonmel Commercials yesterday on winning Munster Club Football. Especially Seamus Kennedy and Jason Lonergan. Seamus lives in the Nire and his mum played for Waterford and Ballymac ladies while Jason played most of his underage football with The Nire.

Any particular reason for wanting to see Tadhg moved from centre back? Gleeson has so much to offer going forward which can be done more easily as a wing back at this time. Obviously there is the option to move him further forward also.
I would think that forward line is a little too inexperienced. I would like to see Shane Tom and Patrick getting plenty action in the league, they could all make big impacts the coming year.
Taking Bricks experience, ball winning and ability to bring others into the game would be foolish I think. He is exceptional at bringing others into the game. I would also have Maurice as the full forward.
It's all a long way off but interesting times ahead all the same.
If Darragh Fives is fit I'd move Gleeson up front I think, some quality options when all are available. If Coughlan struggled in league could move Shane Fives in one and Darragh corner possibly.
