Waterford GAA Discussion Thread 2011-2012

So theres actually no protocol in place for deciding whether they go up or not?

I'm not a 100% sure to be honest. The two Junior proper teams lost the West finals whereas the attached teams won the County, so I'm thinking they got first preference but I'm not sure.

Gaultier won the county last year... and AFAIK have gone up intermediate similar to FMW in the hurling... leaving Saviors and Rathgormac to battle it out in eastern snr attached junior champ 2013.. unless revamped

Apologies. Wow, that really is a mess.

My issue is with the points you are trying to make. Abbeyside have had an Intermediate team since at least 2009, Lismore had one up until last year. Your writing off a team to try and enhance your argument when all it really does is take away from it because it's clear enough you don't really know what your talking about. If we look back it what you've said the last few days:

-Apparently you need to be Kilkenny to survive in the West Waterford intermediate championship

-You made a definitive judgement on a team you haven't even seen play, which you have continued to blindly defend using arguments that I'm biased despite somebody always claiming they were handy enough.

-You also seem convinced that I said they were a great team or something. I never even said they'd survive in the Intermediate championship, but I strongly doubt that they're way out of their depth.

I realize that this is a bit of a ridiculous focal point for the argument, and intermediate second string team.

But I'm basically just calling your bluff here, because while you initially made an argument I'd agree with you tried to back it up with evidence that doesn't weigh up hoping that people would be none the wiser. And it's not the first time...I'm still waiting for that list of 250 players!

im actually confused at this stage dont really know what the argument is even about anymore.

look i'll admit i was kind of saying it about FMW with tongue in cheek knowing it would spark a reaction from you but I absolutely stand by my argument that they will be out of their depth at intermediate level next year from what ive seen and know of them and definetly some of the teams in the junior proper are better than them. I dont have a problem if you dont agree but its obvious that you dont respect others peoples opinions and thats what bugs me. you will got to any lengths to discredit other peoples points if view if you dont agree and try to make them look stupid.

this message board is meant to be for all discussions on every aspect of waterfod gaa but in your eyes it obviously excludes points of view on particular area of the county... anyone who does is metwith an ambush!!!

Zol you named a man who has nothing to do with me and who is not me.

So Zol attached a name to you previously as well then? if thats the case I havent much sympathy for him, what goes around comes around.

on a side note what are the posters views on the following hyppthetical situation, a person with an inside line into our countys hurling team, posting details on forums like boards, be it positive or negative, for all and sundry to read?
I dont know like if you are that close to the panel then I dont think you are doing any favours to anyone by doing that, I dont think any dressing room or panel stories should leak at all.
A friend of mine was on the panel in the late 90's-00's and he would tell you nothing about what was going on, not a scrap of information, of course back then when things were just start to look up we wanted any bit of information we could get but he was right, its no-ones buisness only panel members.

Another then i found slightly disconcerting was the Examiner match report on the match against Ul, it referenced that the waterford team and backroom staff were having a robust discussion on the field after the game. You would think that they would have more cop on then to do that out in public, never mind in front of a member of the national media, all that stuff should be done behind closed doors inside the dressing room and everyone outside can guess and speculate and add to rumours and talk crap about whats going on. surely someone would have the cop on to say this may be the time but not the place.... get warmed down, get back to the dressing room and have our robust discussion there.

It just gives me the impression of lack of control

Fair enough Zol, your views are interesting and you provide fairly accurate information near the panel. You can always set up a different domain user name if you want.

Might I suggest zol3? Pretty original and nobody will be any the wiser.

Best of luck to Dungarvan Colleges tomorrow!

Any score update in that Harty semi?

Thurles 0-8 Dungarvan Colleges 1-4 25 mins https://twitter.com/WaterfordGAA

5 points up and well on top about 10 minutes into second half from last update I got, keep it going!

Brilliant result, well done to all involved against a very fancied Thurles outfit. With Dungarvan CBS in the B semi final next week, could be a great few weeks in store for our town!
