I think Cahill should and could give him another chance against Limerick but if he doesn't cop on and also put in a team performance then maybe it is time to move on. We can't keep hoping he is going to grow up and put in a team performance.
Don't get me wrong, I love Gleeson and what he can do, I just hope for Waterford he starts to make smarter choices in games.0 -

Wont be able to to Darn Eir sport anyway WLR/Twitter it is so
Wonder what the reasoning for putting it on Saturday evening If not for TV ?. Could easily been played the Sunday at 2pm
Wonder will the QFs and Semis be Saturday or Sunday games with the football nearing the final 2 rounds0 -
I attended the Club Deise City and Metropolitan District Launch last night in the Granville, and I have to say I was very impressed with the way Liam Cahill spoke - his emphasis was totally on the players not his tactics, he spoke of the passion and drive amongst the panel and he reaffirmed his belief that we have a super panel of players capable of competing at the top level - he wasn't predicting winning All Ireland's because there are many really top sides out there all chasing that pot of gold every year- all he did promise is that our team work would continue to get better our work rate would continue to improve and that any team he sends out, wil go out to win or die with their boots on, no more can one ask than that.
It was so refreshing to hear such genuine honesty and passion from a lad who is not even from the county. There was a real buzz about the place and a belief that yes this bunch of players can compete with the best, we just need a bit of luck which is vital in any success - in my view we now have an excellent panel of players, backed most importantly a management team with belief, with expectation of performance and a game plan.
We the supporters now need to play our part, we need to believe and we need to support vocally and financially, if you are not already a member of Club Deise, join up now, it costs less than 60c a week, and it supports all our inter-county GAA teams. I know times are tough for some people but those who can afford it and are truly supporters of Waterford need to dig that extra bit deep - the dedication of these lads and girls deserve every cent of financial support they can get0 -
Really impressed by some aspects of the Tipp match. We look to be fierce fit , the chasing and hassling especially the half back line/mid field has been great I thought.
Stevie was brilliant in goals, he puck outs were mostly on the money. Dont have that awful feeling in my stomach when the ball drops into our full back line anymore. We look alot calmer in defense.
We need to start putting the ball into the paw with our passing more though, thats the difference with limerick and tipp - its pinpoint into the hand every time. No messing around. That extra second it takes to control it and bring it up brings the defender onto us more. We have the speed to do damage to top teams.
Im not overly worried about Aussie - he'll get his act together soon enough. He does lose the head when its not going his way -and does stupid stuff in front of the ref/linesman. We all know how good he can be on his day, he gets a good game under his belt could do him wonders heading into the championship.
Mikey Kearney played great - and I have been very tough on him in the past. If he works on the final part of his game he would be even better, does something brilliant and then runs out of ideas or doesn't take the shot when its on, but that will come to him.
Lets get stuck into these Limerick boys from the start and see where we are at against the country's best.0 -
liz reddy reporting that our game v limerick has had a change of time from 7pm to 5.30... anyone see anything official about that ?0

Yes that is confirmed no by Limerick GAA on twitter0 -

Game moved to 17.30 and will be shown on Eir Sport

Change of throw-in to 5.30 confirmed on GAA website. Apparently at request of both counties. According to the GAA website, the change of time now means the game will be shown on eir sport.0

Saturday is supposed to be a washout, I’d say they wouldn’t be expecting a huge crowd as it is. Obviously be great to get a win but I think a match against Wexford/Kilkenny and a potential further match would be more beneficial than topping the group0

Id take a good performance up in the god forsaken Gaelic Grounds, getting to a semi would give us a weekend off with Wexford/Kilkenny getting a rest this weekend
We have a potential do or die championship clash up there in May0 -
With three small pacy forwards (Mikey Kearney, Dessie Hutchinson and Peter Hogan) in Waterford’s starting line-up last Sunday, it would appear that Liam Cahill planned to use the wide open spaces of Thurles to take on a Tipperary defence not blessed with great pace (with the exception of Cathal Barrett). Assuming that the Waterford half-back line was expected to provide the platform for delivering good ball to these forwards, Cahill could not have anticipated losing two thirds of that line to red cards before half-time.
On the sendings-off, Austin Gleeson clearly was a victim of mistaken identity for the first yellow card, but his strike on Cian Darcy merited a red card on its own. Gleeson may have been getting frustrated, having sent a series of previous plays astray (including an overhit intended long pass to Kevin Moran immediately before the Darcy incident), but his flaky temperament could become a major liability.
Moran’s red card was unforgiveable. The TV camera clearly shows him making a striking move at Jason Forde, and although Forde did not make a meal of it, the linesman obviously saw it as a striking action with the hurley meriting a straight red. For such an experienced player as Moran (a former captain) to take such a risk when Waterford were already one man down was crazy.
It is hard to figure out what was going on between Dessie Hutchinson and Cathal Barrett which led to the latter’s red card. You could hear the clash of hurleys on TV, even though the ball – a delivery from Calum Lyons – was going way over their heads. Barrett, on the ground, threw a hand at Hutchinson as the latter ran past and that may have been regarded as sufficient for a red card if it was seen as a deliberate striking action. However, it may be that the umpire (at the other end of the field) who drew the incident to the referee’s attention thought that Barrett had his hurley in his hand when he made the striking action.
Whatever the reason, Barrett’s departure made the task facing Waterford in the second half much more manageable. And it was how they set about that task that was really heartwarming. There was to be no throwing in the towel or even playing for pride as, despite losing two of their leading players and being a man short, they set about winning the game with great skill and determination.
And they should have won the game comfortably. That they didn’t was simply due to their poor shooting – eleven second half wides to just three for Tipperary. However, the key thing is that the chances were being created, and in abundance (nine scores on top of the eleven misses). And we should also bear in mind that it was similar wastefulness on the part of Cork and Galway which allowed Waterford win those games – what goes around comes around.
Waterford’s second-half dominance was based on three key elements. Firstly, there was a workrate that was way off the scale, in terms of blocks, tackles and generally getting stuck into Tipperary. Secondly, the Waterford defence put in a terrific display. And thirdly, all over the field Waterford ran at Tipperary – not just the aforementioned pacy forwards, but also the inspirational Jamie Barron in midfield and Calum Lyons and Conor Gleeson at half back. And Jack Prendergast and Neil Montgomery kept it going when they came on. We can build a telling game plan around this valuable asset.
In defence, Shane McNulty gave an exhibition at corner back – his total of twelve possessions was very high for someone in this position, and he generally used the ball very well. In the centre of defence, Conor Prunty added to his growing reputation. In a way, he reminds me of his Abbeyside predecessor, Austin Flynn. Commonly regarded as Waterford’s greatest ever fullback, Flynn rarely played much ball in a game, but then neither did the player he was marking. Prunty uses his size, physicality and long reach to great effect to prevent his man from getting clean possession. And the dunt he gave Seamus Callanan in the middle of the second half was one of the match highlights.
Calum Lyons really stabilised the right side of the defence when he came on, and his penetrating runs repeatedly put the Tipperary defence under pressure. Perhaps the most significant aspect of the game from a long-term perspective was Conor Gleeson’s second half performance. Gleeson has been struggling to find the level of performance he was producing before his lengthy layoff last year, and when it was most needed he got back to that level last Sunday. He also showed, with his silky skills and ability to run with the ball, that he has more to offer than just serving as a tight-marking defender.
I must also acknowledge what was undoubtedly Mikey Kearney’s best performance yet in a Waterford jersey. Kearney tends to be anonymous in tight games, but with three players missing, the game tended to lose its shape in the second half, and this suited Kearney down to the ground. His 14 possessions were matched only by Stephen Bennett, who is emerging as the team’s spiritual leader. In principle, I would prefer if Bennett stayed closer to goal, but you couldn’t argue against the way he kept popping up to good effect all over the pitch last Sunday.
One area of concern which was made clear last Sunday is our lack of cover in the full back line. Kieran Power filled in for the injured Shane Fives at right corner back, but whatever about his ability to contest ball at half back, he has no experience of playing corner back (that I am aware of) nor does he have the skillset required for this specialist position. Things improved when Darragh Lyons replaced him late in the game, but I would still like to see someone such as Shane Roche, David Prendergast, Ian Kenny or William Hahessy on the matchday bench.
One final point. Several posters here have been very critical of Kevin Moran, suggesting that he is past it. During his 33 minutes on the field he played more ball than any other Waterford player (9 possessions) and, while his use of the ball was poor on occasions, one has to make allowance for the playing conditions and he did score one inspirational long-distance point. Moran, who usually does his best work in the summer, still has a lot to offer.
Possession counts were a less reliable measure of individual contributions last Sunday, given the great work done by the Waterford players in hooking, blocking and harassing the opposition. However, for what it is worth, the following were the possession counts for each player:
Stephen O’Keeffe (2); Kieran Power (2); Conor Prunty (3); Shane McNulty (12); Shane Ryan (3); Austin Gleeson (6); Kevin Moran (9); Conor Gleeson (10); Jamie Barron (13); Jack Fagan (6); Pauric Mahony (7); Mikey Kearney (14); Peter Hogan (9); Stephen Bennett (14); Dessie Hutchinson (3); Calum Lyons (12); Jack Prendergast (3); Darragh Lyons (0); Neil Montgomery (4); Patrick Curran (2).0 -
As pointed out previously, Gleesons first yellow was not a mistake - the Ref was playing advantage when Prunty fouled the same player. Aussies foul on that occasion, by the way, did not warrant a yellow in a month of Sundays.0

Excellent post as always. Interesting views on Prunty at fullback. Definetly he looks the most comfortable and confident player we've had in that position in many years. Since Sean Cullinane in the late 90's this position has been our achilles heel, Gerald/Justin Mac and Davy Fitz hall failed to find the right fit and Derek McGraths approach was to set the entire system around the fullback not being exposed. A very specialist position and Caghill is lucky to have someone with potential to be a mainstay in this position for years to come0 -
Don't get me wrong, I like Prunty, but am I the only one that thinks he gets caught on the wrong side of the man and the ball a bit too much? Gave away a lot of frees on account of it last Sunday, and would say it was a factor in the goals Cork got and Conlons goal last year in the championship.0

Limerick have picked a strong team. What struck me is Barry Nash at corner back when he has impressed as a wing back recently. Could be that John Kiely expects a two man full forward line from Waterford so he's only chosen two for his own full back line and Nash will push up.0

Great opportunity for Waterford to put in a big performance and win in The Gaelic Grounds. I know traditionally Waterford dont like playing there but they need to change that mindset. Cork,Tipp,Clare all like it and it's an iconic hurling cauldron.It's a great stadium to play in when things are going your way but its terrible when your losing. If Waterford get off to a good start then its half the battle. Limerick have Nash corner back and are resting a few starters but it's a very strong team. I think there'll be 10,000 at it.0 -

Limerick have made wholesale changes but Somehow have ended up with a stronger looking team. A lot of those guys will be ravenous hungry to take their chance, I think it could be a tough lesson for our lads this weekend.0 -

well done on pressing 'pause' 'play' and counting possessions for probably 3 hours. your input is unbelievable :rolleyes:0 -

Nash going to corner back is solely because we've lost richie English for the year we have some cover in Aaron Costello but he's as yet unproven in championship hurling so nash is being tried which by the way I'm delighted with I hope it works. Can't wait for this game unfortunately looks like it's going to be raining so get there early Mackey stand holds approx 9000 cos it's on tv will lessen the crowd somewhat but still I wouldn't be surprised if there was 10k + at it0 -
I think Cahill should and could give him another chance against Limerick but if he doesn't cop on and also put in a team performance then maybe it is time to move on. We can't keep hoping he is going to grow up and put in a team performance.
Don't get me wrong, I love Gleeson and what he can do, I just hope for Waterford he starts to make smarter choices in games.
Apparently he has bee given a fitness program and wont be involved again until championship0 -

Who is James Flavin named on the bench for tomorrow? Haven't heard that name before.
Ciaran Kirwin is the guy who was lighting it up for WIT? What club?
Aussie not even on the bench. You would think he needed games so not looking good for him.0 -
