Waterford GAA thread - mod warning post #1 and #51

IanVW

New thread ladsðŸ˜ŠðŸ˜Š Any update on injuries for this weekends game?

Mod edit: Given how the last thread descended into chaos, we are going to leave that closed and start afresh

Welcome to the Waterford GAA discussion thread.

This is consistently the most active thread don the GAA forum. As a result, discussion can get quite heated. But there are certain things posters must realise are simply not OK to post:

- Personal abuse of anyone be they other posters, players, managers, referees, pundits etc. Any personal abuse will result in an infraction or a ban.

- Rumours about players'/managers'/anyone's personal lives. This should be self explanatory. Apart from being a dickish thing to do, it can lead to legal trouble for Boards.

- Trolling. Again, self explanatory. Trolls will be banned for a long time.

- Accusations of trolling. Report a post if you suspect it to be trolling. Do not call a troll out on thread as this will be considered back seat modding.

- Speculation into the identity of another poster. This is a site-bannable offence.

This list is not exhaustive. Either myself or another mod may add to this as we see fit. Just because a certain behaviour isn't listed, doesn't mean you can't be banned for it. The general Boards.ie rule of Don't be a Dick always applies.

If you feel a post breaks the rules, simply click this underneath the post in question to report the post and a mod will deal with it as they see fit.

So be civil to each other and happy posting.

Given that the thread regularly descending into tit for tat insults between posters, From now on, it won't be a card but a ban straight away for anything like this. The mod warning is clear in the first post but yet people still ignore it.
Also, I'd like to remind people of the ban on discussing players'/managers'/officials' private lives without any substance. You can be getting into libelous territory there. So a zero tolerance policy will be enforced as well.

Tom Murphy saying on WLR that the county board should resign on mass the way they have handed the walsh park fiasco !! #catamongstthepigeons

The Dunhill Jacobites still dreaming of the return of the Old Pretender. Good luck with that.

Dear god no

Deise boii

I really think they should go all out and try and get Mattie Kenny the Cuala manager. Think he would be the ideal candidate. Supposed be meticulous in his planning and organising, plays an attractive brand of hurling too and is successful.

are you for the birds re the u21?

Myself, Eamon Keane & Val Doonican could have managed that team to win the u21, with Matt Keane corner back too. They were absolutely head and shoulders above anything.

Keep in mind the majority of that team were on the senior panel for 1-2 years at this stage and plenty of the conditioning work done as part of that set up.

Not to take from the achievement, which it seems I am, it was fantastic, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. Has never managed an adult team in any grade in his life over a season. I wouldn't be against him being part of a set up, but lets have some perspective here.

You can’t manage to tip a winner in Tramore never mind manage a team. Go away out of that.

Paddy Joe mentioning having a new manager in by late september/October by county final time . Typical county board attitude. It needs to be done quicker than that or players will start to drift away . Club members really need to take a look at who they are nominating as county board delegates etc.

Drift where?

Well said Tom Murphy, he knows what we need.

It's all well and good saying the county board are no good, I'm fairly certain that anyone here who is part of their club committe who wanted to go foward as county board representative who have no bother going foward and going..

thesultan

I'd be fairly certain that we would be rank outsiders tomorrow for the 21 game..

Anyone know the last time we didn't have a senior starter on the under twenty one team?

davidx40

Donal og Cusack should be number one man on list ....fantastic hurling brain ....

Brendan Cummins is favorite on what basis though? What experience has he? We have to be doing better than that.

These things are a joke market who's only real purpose is to give the bookies publicity. I wouldn't read anything into the odds.

Cork 1/9 and the handicap is 7 points so yep, rank outsiders is right

It’s based on hearsay and speculation. Someone in Paddy Power doing up that market has the same knowledge as any of us speculating here. Twitter and Google are a Paddy Power trader’s bible when it comes to these type of bets.

They know no more or less than anyone at this stage. If someone was to go in to Paddy Power and ask for a bet on Jim Greene then there’d be a panic and his name would be added to that list. Don’t forget, the person doing up this market isn’t from Waterford. They could be from Leitrim or Donegal and would have no inside knowledge of Waterford hurling.

Im not making out like guys doing the odds know the Waterford hurling scene inside out. But if it was as random and clueless as you say then the most likely candidate to us could have crazy odds, like or 10/1 or something, and they would lose a tonne of cash when he gets the job. A lot of effort goes into researching these markets for the specific aim of not losing money.

The punters do the rest of the work for the odds.

Just spend the next week or so in ladcrokes in the sq Dungarvan, a certain co board chairman is certain to be in at some stage!

You can be sure they won't lose a tonne of cash on this market. They won't take any sort of big bets. They will quickly slash odds, restrict bets and/or close the market if anything odd occurs.

For example Paul Flynn is 12/1. Say I had inside knowledge and wanted to make 'a fortune'. The max bet they will permit on him is €19.04. They are well covered

It is as simple as I have suggested though. Also, they wouldn’t lose a tonne of cash as the most anyone would get on any of those names is about €100 and then they’ll take the market down or shorten that person to an unbackabke price.

This is a novelty bet and as such the liability would be very low as they know how easily these type of markets could be manipulated by the public. Richie Foley used to work with Paddy Power and another Waterford chap (involved with DLS I think) used to work in the quants department in their head office too. Both have left the company I think but you can be sure they would have been asked their opinions on what was happening down in Waterford if they were still there!

The only one I can get over 100 on is Cummins at 11/10. Sean power second fav at 7/2 = max bet of €63.04

Like what was already said. Novelty bets are free pr for the bookies.

It'll all.collapse quickly when there's a hint of am inkling.

Yeah and if they accepted any of those bets the market would be reformed. As they’re the only company pricing this market up at the moment they’ve free reign to make whatever name they want favourite. Putting Brendan Cummins in as a money on favourite for the job creates a lot of talk and their name is involved in every conversation.
