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.

The mount Sion record is broken. DLS 1-20- Mount Sion 1-16

DLS vs Ballygunner final

Waterford champs play the Clare champs away in the Munster QF. Very tough draw the winners host the Limerick champs in the semi finals

Clinical performance by Ballygunner today and didn’t really have to come out of second gear. The game was over the minute Hogan hit the net in the first half. Ian Kenny was impressive as was Paudie Mahoney and Billy O Keeffe. They’re going from strength to strength as a club as their intermediate team are in the eastern final along with all their juvenile teams nearly winning their individual county titles. Unfortunately for everyone else in the county they’re going nowhere anytime soon so unless something miraculous happens I can’t see it changing in the distant future. Some of their teams may be beaten at some stage but as a production line coming for the senior team it is rotating at knots.

Bit like Dublin in the football. They could easily do 7/8 in a row. Mt sion did nine on the trot in the 1950’s/60’s as did Erin’s Own in the 1920’s/30’s so they have a few titles to go yet before they start record breaking....?

I think crossmaglen did something like 13 in a row Armagh football titles and ballymacarbery in ladies football have something like 38 in a row

Can anyone explain the thinking behind one semi final in dungarven and the next one starting an hour after in Walsh park. Do they not want people at them??

PJR said Dungarvan have a home and away agreement with the City teams and since they played BG in the groups in Walsh Park they are owed the game.

Even Saturday night lights in Dungarvan would have attracted a great crowd and been great for the atmosphere in the town, weather dependent.

Just trying to decide whether I attempt both, it’s just too tight for comfort and I don’t like rushing. Game 1 should be done by 4pm allowing for injury time but then you’ve to get out and back to your car and hope you don’t get stuck in traffic. You might arrive at Walsh Park by 5pm and get lucky with parking so I think it’s possible but not comfortable. Another half hour would have been nice or just a bit more common sense like having the Walsh Park game yesterday!

What’s the difference between Kingston returning to the langers and Derek McGrath returning to Waterford......?[/quote]

Well for a start Kingston didn’t spend every waking minute in the media undermining last years management. Also Kingston only had one year I think before he left for work commitments. So probably feels he has unfinished business. Derek had 5 years. He had his time. Bringing him back would be the ultimate backwards step. If Cahill is the man, we need a clean sweep of backroom staff associated with the Derek era. Change the maor uisces, Hurley carriers etc and put his thumb print on everything.

Let's not get carried away with ourselves there, a senior officer.

Feedback for you Lingoweet. A more productive approach next time would be ‘Ive been told xxxx coaching methods are not forward thinking enough, does anyone have any first hand experience’ versus; ‘He’s clueless’. see the difference?

Typical of the negative Ill informed bull**** that we have to endure from many regulars on here

Alright my good man, I accepted I was wrong in not elaborating and posting a lazy soundbite, let’s move on. I’m glad you’re so well informed but maybe don’t be so condescending along with it.

Cahill or whoever gets the job needs to first and foremost stand up to last years squad and say 'it's my way, theres the door if u want'

If those skills are what he's being asked to bring to a role with Waterford then I'd suggest he's an excellent addition, even leaving aside his own hurling experience.

However obviously there are a wide range of bases to cover so he'd need to fit in with the overall management team to ensure this happens. Tipp this year seem a good example of how Sheedy took overall charge but ensured all aspects were covered. We will be at a disadvantage as we don't have their budget but to me someone like Molumphy is a good start.

Good point, I was thinking of it more from a coaching perspective but it could be that Cahill sees other useful attributes other than just coaching / training. I do think having a few good coaches working together would be useful though while the manager just oversees the training sessions coordinating and interacting with players.

I would look at it differently in that Cork were well in control until Cahalane needlessly got himself sent off, although it was a hugely enjoyable win!

Kingston left on his own terms I believe, due to work commitments and Sully was seemingly popular with players in a similar way to how Dan was here. So they are essentially adding 2 coaches with huge experience into that management team that saw them reach a semi final.
They might still be short in the half back line but I do think they have put an excellent management team together here, and possibly have a successor to Kingston there in Mulcahy too. I wouldn’t consider our rumoured management team to be in the same league of Corks or the current Limerick / Tipp ones.
Not saying it can’t be a success, maybe it will be the making of Browne / Molumphy if they are indeed on the ticket.

Well a 12 point swing would indicate that his loss was quite significant, yes.

I think when you see the rumoured Cork set up of Kingston, Sully, Cunningham and Pat Mulcahy it shows us where we’re at. Cork obviously have great resources to put these fellas in the one management team given all are potential intercounty management material on their own.

Browne has limited experience to my knowledge and Molumphy the same. Would place a good deal of pressure on Cahill and Bevan.
I really do think the backroom team is absolutely vital in this appointment and hope we can get a strong management team in place.

So if Ballygunner Intermediates win today and then manage to win the Eastern final will the western champs go straight up to senior without having to win the county intermediate ??

Big ask tho[/quote

I think Tallow did it in the eighties.
