who do they think they are....
blaaa blaa blaaa....

This has happened before with Waterford.

I think the more pressing question is where are all these "supporters" who stay back the 4 minutes during the league.

Now, I don't go to any games so I'm not on a high horse or anything but the bandwagon jumping in Waterford hurling actually astonds me.

Cabaal

For all those people that left during "INSERT GREAT MOVIE TITLE HERE" hang your heads in shame, call yourself movie fans etc etc etc

Who cares, these people likely wanted to beat the rush for the car park, food, bus, Taxi etc etc

Shure ain't deserting your team a hangin' offence these daze?
Maybe David Fitz shoulda kept Bernard Dunne outta the dressing room & on the turnstiles @ full-time. That would be a royal rumble worth seeing.

Talking of ppl leaving games early how did most of the Deise support just evaporate into thin air @ half time @ Croke Park in September 2008?? And that on their biggest day out in 50 years?

Crap like this from so-called "real" supporters doesn't endear the sport to others. It's none of your damn business what they do. You have no right to make demands. This attitude is not needed.

True!

I think SillyMcCarthy is just trying to prove how much of a "true" supporter he is. Go away will ya, People can come and go as they please, Its none of your buisness! And people can go to whatever match they want any time of the year they want!!

But of course they can,

However, is that fair on people who go to games and can't get tickets to finals or semis because "supporters" have a bit of pull and only come out for 1 or 2 games

I know a guy, real old coot. Remembers the good old days but I would say goes to 80-90% of Waterford games and never misses a Gaa game that Kilmac are involved in. Back in''07 couldn't get a ticket for the final with paying through the nose he ironically spends all his money going to other games.

I do see why people like that chap can't go to a final because of bandwagon supporters.

The one that always confuses me,especially in thurles, is passing the people getting into their cars that are about a 45 minute walk from the grounds when the game is only over 15 minutes
Many years of match going have created the perfect game plan & parking spot for semple stadium.Always there to the end and on the road within 15 minutes :pac:

Surely thats the GAA's fault for their ticket distribution, if that man is a member of a club I wouldnt've thought he'd have a problem , unless he was in a draw for tickets and missed out

as for people leaving early, what can you do, people have things to do/places to be/different circumstances.... or just want to get home...any way its up to them , they paid their money, I'm sure you have bigger things in your life to worry about (like next weeks game )

i didn't notice that many leaving before the finish where i was. i suppose people wanted to get back for the world cup final.

Its a lot of peoples fault.Ticketmaster at the moment, the GAAs distribution and a lot of people with pull in clubs and in the county board who like to hold onto tickets incase their "acquaintances" want them on saturday mornings.
What I found pretty sh!tty too was the block for season tickets yesterday.This was down half way between the 21 & 45(Block 204) but saturday morning you could get tickets in block 206 & 207 off ticketmaster which would put you on the 65.
Not surprised though since the GAA arsed up the season ticket this year after it running pretty well last year

Woooo!
Was waiting for someone to talk through their hole in here.
That "ould fella" is still one of the best hurlers in the country and can compete with the new generation after almost 20 years at the highest level.

pitz

I always stay in my seat and smile at the dumb asses pushing and shoving to try and be the first to get out.

After all that I get up and have a nice walk out!

Life's Wonderful, Enjoy!

Public transport is handier I think. That said I went up by car once and was not caught getting out. Just face the car in the right direction and its fairly easy to pull out.

deisedevil

I have often edged my way towards the exit just before the final whistle and then sprinted for the car. 5 mins later on the road back home and back in the pub before the lads in there have even finished the pre match chat. I love Thurles! Looking forward to Saturday.

sorrywhat

I was in that block too cos I have a season ticket and I thought that the season tickets where meant to be center line seats.

I wasnt too disappointed with them, the only thing was, when we were playing up the cork end terrace you couldnt see a fcuking thing cos everyone kept standing up.

When the play moved down to the Waterford Terrace after half time it wasnt too bad then.

But back on topic, people leave early for a multitude of reasons. Some people have little kids, dont want them being squashed. Older people may not like the big shuffle etc. Some people like to beat the traffic. Each to their own.

What the hell would you expect when you go on to a thread about waterford fans on the waterford section and start slagging off Waterford hurlers? On yer bike and take yer shít stirring stick with ya!


I didn't hear anyone complaining when Brian Corcoran was pulled out of his coffin and dragged back on to the field of play, another hurling legend who was well capable of keeping up with the best of them into his later days of his career. Tony Browne will be there for another 10 years.

sad really. cos its worse ye are getting. ye had a right chance to win the all ireland a couple of years ago and blew it. so roll on a cork victory on saturday evening. it will make for a better championship if they win. we dont want another kilkenny / waterford all ireland final bcos we will be turning off the tv sets after 20 minutes.

Stop trolling. If I recall correctly, Waterford were the leading team for most of that match including at half time. And they thought the rebels would walk away with it, but the deise men were the underdogs and the "nearly men" are punching the air (similar to soccer players doing random dives into the crowd when they get a goal) with delight at being so strong, not letting go even in the dying minute when they are so far behind.

Other teams (Tipp being a good example ) could learn a thing or two about the deise. Age is only a number

Tipp were unable to beat Kilkenny either, IIRC. I guess they threw it away also

Of course I was joking. Looks like you found it too difficult to realise it, even though I put a after it and everything. Sucks to be you tbh.

And yes, we are worse off than we have been in the past, doesn't say much for Cork either, should have beaten us handy if they are going to have any prayer of an AI this year.

Have you finished now are are you going to continue with the silly insults or is there any bit of decency in you like so many other Cork fans and genuinely decent supporters of the game all over the country who can discuss GAA matters without resorting to childish insults and wind ups. (My guess is you will come back with another post full of hahas's and laughing down your nose at the less fortunates of the hurling world, it's ok though, we're used to the better hurling counties having some fans who don't have the cop on to enjoy their success without leaving the head swell too much.)

If you're not Sorry , But if you are talking about All Ireland Finals.

Get real Waterford where spanked like an unwashed kid in their Final , Where as Tipp turned up and frightened the Sh1t of them only to run out of steam in the closing minutes.
Big... BIG differences in the 2 efforts. One can hold their heads high , the other..... head down and sneak away.

I'm no hurling fan really, but any team that makes it to an All-Ireland final deserves to hold their heads up high. Anything else is just nonsense.

Sorry to disagree with you ok Teams reaching a major final deserve some credit but than Waterford team performance against Kilkenny was a farce and they should have been embarrassed by their effort ,Hanging their heads in shame for letting down some of best and loyalist supporters . Oh to keep the record straight the Final score has nothing to do with my views ,they could have been beat by double the score and it wouldn't matter if they only had put up some sort of effort , show some spirit ,when down fighting but on that day there was none. And for that they should hang their heads IMO.

What are you shíting on about? They were embarrased and they were as dissapointed and gutted as anyone else, more than anyone else actually because they were the ones who trained all year for it and let themselves down in the end. They came down to the quay in Waterford the next day and it was very sad to see how upset they were. First AI final in so long and they never got out of the blocks, of course they were disgusted and they did hang their heads. But who in the hell do you think you are up there on your high horse preaching? Pontification of the highest degree. (I love the Frontline guy):D

Do you really think that they went out and didn't give a crap and never bothered to put in an effort? What a pile of crap! The same team of players that bust themselves putting in an effort every year and go through some serious effort in training for very little return. Have a bit of cop on will ya!

Someone with a view , Which I'm entitled to ,Sorry if I Have the cheek to disagree with you. I Never said they didn't give a crap ,I SAID THEY'RE EFFORT WAS CRAP .ON THAT DAY THEY SHOW NO FIGHTING SPIRIT .which I stand by, And if you'd like to watch that game again and judge it on effort ,performance and fighting spirit you may see things different ,But then again rose tinted memories are alot easier.

Kilkenny were simply awesome that day, no team in Ireland would have stood a chance against them.

comeraghs

I didn't see anybody heading away early on Sunday

& as for Rockman everyteam can have a bad day as anybody who has ever played sport knows & unfortunatly for Waterford it was on such a big day & nobody could have lived with the fantastic KK performance that day. Lay off our hurlers they've done us proud down the years.

& isn't their something pathetic about people from other counties coming onto another counties thread to talk ****e .... grow up a bit.

I got a great laugh out of the two Cork supporters beside me who left with about 5 minutes to go. I presume they thought Cork had it won... Would have enjoyed seeing their faces when they heard the news later on!!:D

Ah that's sad.

We in Waterford are far more eucemenical in our love of all sports.

We are proud of our hurlers and equally proud of the fact that 2 footballers from our great city played in European Cup/Champions league finals and the fact that we provided so many players for the Irish team.

O Riain

Would cork have had the turnout for the hurlers on the quay that we had after the Final loss? Mr. Rebel man up there will say it was pathetic and in cork they would not accept such behaviour, but I don't think I have ever been as proud to have been a Waterford man in me hole life as that day, to see so many people come together at a very dark time, to rally behind our hurlers, who we appreciate no matter what, that's the spirit of hurling, and if that rebel up there doesn't understand that, then he simply, does not understand the wondrous sport that is Hurling.

What rose tinted glasses? READ MY POST AGAIN! Everyone in Waterford knows how bad the hurlers that day felt about what happened in that final. The players were devastated after it and knew they had embarassed themselves, left themselves down, did not come anywhere near giving a good account of themselves or show what they can truly become on the field of play and they did hang their heads in shame and some could not even fight back the tears they were that disugusted.

My point to you was that the dogs on the street know this, so what in the hell are you banging on about when you come on here preaching about how they should be embarassed of themselves and hang their heads in shame? They already did that in front of a large crowd of people on the quay the day after the final, what more do you want from them, a public stoning is it? They are amatuer sportsmen who give up a hell of a lot more than most for very little reward and when things don't work out for them when they genuinely go out to do their best then who are you to criticise them and make comments about the appropriate response from them (which they already had done)?

I watched many of that same team win two Munster finals and the first one against Tipp I would still regard that as one of the best moments of my life, I'll never forget that moment when the final whistle blew and I'll never forget the celebrations afterwards in Dungarvan with the players. I wouldn't be the type to forget the good days as soon as a bad one comes along.

AH Please don't bring up that old chestnut , good old GAA PR, Top County players get enough rewards ,when the last time you seen one down the local dole office [ok before the tiger died]Nice jobs in the public eye with this company or that company ,trainee.dish washer etc when a minor to front man in a bank or such when a senior player , Hmmm no rewards , Next you will be telling me the GAA is a non profit group
Nice jobs and nice cars are part of the modern package
