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.

What time will gates open? 1pm?
I'd say with the weather the stand will fill up early. I got caught out in Dungarvan for the Carlow match.

Tis slowly filling up now already. Weather is shocking though. Wouldn't be surprised for it to be called off.

Rain is to get worse I think.

Lashing rain the last few hours, going to be a heavy pitch, probably not a day for small light forwards. I wouldn't be surprised to see a change or 2 before throw in

Today’s game is subject to a pitch inspection. Waiting on referee for inspection!

Looking at the Division 1 hurling final being put back a week to March 30/31 if games are called off today

Glad I held off a few mins leaving the house now

Poor form to only call it off an hour before throw in. Sickener for the travelling Galway supporters.

Stacksofwacks

Just wondering if the game will be refixed at all given the tight schedule and the fact that both teams have already qualified?

yeah bad form but it did get heavier later on this morning. Annoying esp with people travelling down for the game and the stand almost full

few more games going to be called off too so will prob play Round 5 next weekend (9th/10th Mar) and then QFs the 16th March (no games on the paddys day i imagine cause of the club finals, hardly play some games on the 18th March ??), semis on 23/24th March with final being the weekend after 30/31st March

Still have the time but its irratating

Best of luck too all

On Friday and Saturday it was clear that there was heavy rain coming in. An inspection could have been done at 11 rather than 1pm.

The game could also have been played in Carriganore.

Rte reporting that Walsh park passed an early morning pitch inspection.

It does seem that the decision should have been made earlier given the forecast for heavy rain. Not sure how they will deal with the refixing of the game given that a crowd was in the stand already- will it be free in the next day?

They probably did one around 8 or 9 to see if Galway should travel, at which point the pitch would have probably been playable.

1pm is very disappointing, and the GAA seem to constantly lack common sense when it comes to calling games off last minute.

They had a lady announcing over the speakers that you'd get a ticket for the next day at the gate but then the lad at the gate didn't have tickets and was telling people they'd get in with the tickets used today after they had the stubs torn off. So I'm guessing if you threw it away after going in then you're ****ed.

TippVCork and WexfordVKilkenny also cancelled within an hour of throw in. The rain hardly "just came in" and flooded three pitches at the same time. Surely one of them could have been cancelled at 9am which shows the GAA failed today.

Deisegodeo

Galltir beaten by a point in the camogie final, hard luck after huge effort.

Should have been a lot more than 3 minutes injury time in second half too. Missed goal chances proved costly in the end.

deise08

Pity for all the Galway supporters and players that travelled so far. A long way to come just to get a look at the pitch.

Pity for us, for our first home game in so long to be a non game.

PTH2009

ah balls Dublin 0-13- Laois 0-11

Laois were winning up too a few mins near the end but failed too hold out meaning we cant go top of the table now no matter the result against Galway Whenever its played

for 2020 we will be in Group A of the Div 1 with the following teams

1 Limerick
2 4th 1A
3 Winner of 1A pointless Relagation playoff
4 Galway or Dublin
5 Westmeath or Kerry (2A Final 2019)

Reckon Galway game will be next Sat with the QFs the following week

Scanning once proves attendance. Why would you need to scan again? The first time was still recorded and scanning again doesn’t prove you attended the next day.

Anyone get the subs list today?

The gaa Decided to coin toss to determine the winners of the games which were due to be played yesterday. Waterford, Wexford and Cork lost so we’re playing away to KK next Sunday.

I heard a coin toss was to be done but can't find confirmation anywhere. Do you have a link or source?

It’s on the Facebook Deise banter page, should have been a bit cleverer cause whoever’s running it has just admitted that he was joking ðŸ˜‚

Still no confirmation about what’s happening next week.

Right. Probably explains it so.

Although I'd say Galway would probably take a coin toss after yesterday !

Hopefully gaa confirm what is happening soon anyway
