No one from the county board or any club representatives were invited and these are the people who make the decisions so it seems a pointless exercise, they can give out, bitch and moan and say they will do this and that but without representing a club at a county board meeting, they have no accreditation to change anything

I heard they agreed to start a petition.

A petition for what? Lots of smoke and mirrors...good to see the wheels being put in motion to protect football in the county but we'll have to see if the captain can steer the ship lad.

Jjjjjjjbarry

Any challenge games on this weekend?

Big meeting on Waterford football matters in Crottys tonight...hopefully some good will come from it and it's not a PR exercise.

There’ll be more worthwhile conversations going on out in the smoking area than what’s being said at that meeting

Would Brenner have saved it if it was left to him?

What made it worse was this was deep into added time of ET and DLS had cleared the ball. Pure sickening

Clonea's first match is against Ballygunner, bit of a baptism of fire there for the intermediate champions, a tough opener!

Kildare showed where the power lies. Play in Walsh Park or we don’t play at all.
Anything else will reflect horrendously on our county board.

That’s provided work won’t have begun on Walsh Park of course.

Do we not need to have work done to host games?

Or can we host away as we are with a couple of thousand at it?

A decision needs to be made soon

If the games are too be Walsh Park than ticket issues need to be addressed then. The suites and sponsors will have to get there's, players families etc. Is there a possibility not all Waterford season ticket holders will be accounted for ???. There will have to be an away allocation too

The 2 Munster championship games ( Clare and Limerick ) will be held in Walsh Park. A reduced capacity to be confirmed. Also Waterford V Limerick is earmarked as one of the games to be shown live on RTÉ.

TV would reduce it further

Once I get my tickets for the games I'll be happy. Going to be interesting what way tickets will work for the games ??

The limerick game could be do or die

Why don't they confirm this before the weekend and boost the sales in season tickets? Really don't get the logic behind how they operate half the time.

Alot of injuries for Sundays. Barron hamstring, dara fives, two lyons ,conor Gleeson

Deise_2012

That’s what the panel is for. Plenty of lads are gonna see action in the first 3/4 games. Colin Dunford, DJ Foran, Conor Prunty and the two Bennetts (after a year out) definitely need a good run of games to get used to the pace of Senior Inter county. Looking forward to the new set up and maybe having more than 1 in the full forward line!

Absolutely.
Would be great to see waterford back playing attacking hurling.
The last 10 years with Davy and Mcgrath have been too negative.
Here's to hopefully a more positive change of mindset.

PTH2009

We have too remember Offaly hammered Dublin in Croke Park last year in the league. We can't take this game lightly

Many travelling up ??? Few of us going anyway

Hard to predict a team with all the injuries and Ballygunner players unavailable.
Nolan, Connors, Prunty, Moran, Brick, Kearney, Foran, Stephen Bennett and Tommy Ryan are near certainties to start I would think. If Tadhg is fit he might slot in, with Aussie it may depend on his current conditioning. Shane Fives another very likely to start I would think.
If Barron is indeed injured then likely to see Kearney and Brick start off midfield possibly. Up front 3 positions to be filled with Shane Bennett, Dunford, O’Halloran (if fit) and Jack Prendergast probably closest to filling them. If Barron is fit I’d imagine Kearney moves into the forward line.

Nolan
Connors Prunty S. Fives
Moran Tadhg Aussie / McNulty
Brick Kearney
Foran Shane Bennett Dunford
Ryan Stephen Bennett Prendergast / O’Halloran

A half back line of Moran, Tadhg and Aussie would be about as strong as it comes for us under the high ball, and indeed going forward. Half forward line doesn’t look great in terms of ball winning but still have Paudie, Philip, Barron, Conor Gleeson, Darragh Fives to add into the mix so plenty room to change things around potentially.

Giveitfong

We also have to take into account the involvement of panel members in the Fitzgibbon Cup, which could affect their availability for Sunday. As far as I am aware, there are ten players on the panel who are also involved in the Fitzgibbon: Billy Nolan, Patrick Curran, Jack Prendergast, Colm Roche, Jordan Henley, Conor Prunty, Darragh Lyons, Michael Harney, Colin Dunford and Calum Lyons. Of these I believe that Darragh Lyons and Calum Lyons are injured. I also believe that Patrick Curran's hand injury has cleared up. Of these, Curran, Henley, Prunty, Harney and Dunford are due to be involved today or tomorrow.
