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.

So the CB can't even schedule games with any bit of basic common sense for patrons. And these are the people who will pick a new manager for the hurling team!

Doomed are we, we are doomed!!

Absolutely not. No reason the Abbeyside- Tallow game couldn't be played in Cappoquin for example.
A few weeks ago Mollerans were asking on twitter why more games weren't being fixed there:

Prob cost the board money / do the clubs that always support the board out of a few quid.

playing Gaa a long time & Iv only played in about 8-9 venues in champ.

The dingiest nightclub can manage to put a stamp on a person's wrist so they can wander in and out at their leisure. People could head into town between games to get a bite to eat. But no doubt 'it's always been done this way'. The lack of imagination is dispiriting.

That's mad. How many extra tickets did they sell in order to antagonise those who went to the earlier games? Bang out of order.

Don’t know why they can’t just charge a premium (€20 or €25) upfront and run the games off over about 4 or 5 hours. Have face painting and stuff for the kids, maybe some targets to try and hit with prizes and make a proper day out of it.

They complain about low attendance figures and play an béal bocht when it suits them but do very little to promote the local games outside of the hardcore club supporters.

Did the same thing in Fraher Field on Sunday just gone, Mount Sion vs An Rinn and Roanmore vs Fourmile were a double header at 2 and 3:30, while Lismore vs Dungarvan wasn’t on until 7.

The All Ireland final the weekend before and the Pope’s visit have sweet f*** all to do with the scheduling, the county board are hoping people will leave after the Mount Sion DLS game and come back for the double header, paying in twice.

It’s not rocket science :pac:

Complete stupidity if that’s the case. Only an hour between games all the same. Where are people meant to go...?

Pope giving mass at 3pm

Off topic but from what I've seen about the last pope visit, the whole country seemed to shut down for it and no events dared take place on the day. 2018 Ireland is so different

I'm guessing the delay is to free up dressing rooms

They must be expecting the DLS v Mount Sion game to go all the way to extra time and frees or something... anyone know why there is such a gap between the first and second games in Walsh Park on Sunday? Seems ridiculous

The CB prob hope people **** off after the DLS/Mtsion game so they don't get 3 games for the price of 1

Seems fairly odd but the CB have been scheduling games that way for years for some reason. Maybe it's to free up dressing rooms or something ??

So by the looks of things Patsy Fanning and Sean Power the only locals interested in the job. Both Mt Sion men with both having positives and negatives attached to their CV’s. Dan and Eoin Murphy still floating around with rumours of Donal Og on their ticket and Derek working in the background! It’s like a soap opera at this stage!

No way in hell the Dan and Eoin Murphy thing is true but if it is Bloody hell what a farce

Quarter Finals De La Salle v Mount Sion Passage v Dungarvan Ballygunner v Roanmore Abbeyside v Tallow.

pick of the rounds- DLS vs Mount sion (could be a very firy game), Passage vs Dungarvan and Abbeyside vs Tallow will be close games. You would expect Ballygunner to beat Roanmore well but ya never knw

Kind of odd after Pat Ryan refused the job that there has been little mention of who will take over now. Wish they would appoint someone so they can start planning the 2018 championship will be over next weekend

Making a 'snap' or 'panic' appointment would be a far bigger mistake, biggest decision/appointment that the Waterford County Board have ever made.
