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 we have Ballygunner v Ballysaggart county intermediate final. What are the official permutations regarding Ballygunner if they win it? Do they go up automatically? Do they have a choice? Do they represent Waterford in the Munster club?

Finished 3-21-1-9 very impressive by Ballygunner B

Ballysaggart will rep Waterford in Munster not matter the final result

Not sure about who goes up to senior. Having 2 senior teams in Ballygunner would be a bit odd tbh

So the Limerick senior clubs are strong but then Ballygunner beat the Limerick Champions na Piarsaigh last year in the Munster Club Championship??
So did na Piarsaigh have a bad day against them, or did Ballygunner just have a bad day vs Ballyhale Shamrocks??

Remember, Ballygunner beat na Piarsaigh of Limerick who had contrsted 2 County Titles, played in 2 All Ireland club final and played in 2 Munster club finals in the space of 24 months plus their top players had won an all ireland with limerick in that time frame also. By the time they got to Ballygunner they were stuck to the ground. I think if they come out of Limerick they’ll go hard at it again.

Ballygunner on the other hand struggled to get over Ballyea and Midelton at home. They’ll win the club championship here but id be surprised if they aren’t turned over in Munster as they are on the road this year and in my opinion not as strong/experienced as last yr.

Club hurling is at an all time low and imo the Co board through game’s development have been piss poor in getting other clubs up to a standard where they can compete with Ballygunner. There’s no one on the Ballygunner team (intermediate/senior) that are top class prospects for Intercounty. The only player who looks a different gravy and can be potentially the next Paul Flynn to come from Ballygunner is Patrick Fitzgerald.

At the moment Ballygunner are blazing a trail (&fair play to them) but other clubs and the Co board need to get their act together cause they are only getting stronger im afraid:-(

Patrickswell wins Limerick- If Ballygunner get over DLS it’s wide open for them but it won’t be easy!

Stacksofwacks

If there's 2 Ballygunner teams good enough to play senior then they should be promoted, obviously have them in different groups etc and try and avoid a fixture between the 2 but if they end up meeting a county final so be it

Ballygunner/DLS will have to beat the Clare champions before they might face Patrickswell

Sixmilebridge under Davy or Cratloe

How many Paul Flynn, ken Mcgrath etc types have limerick produced in the last ten years.....none I would think.....yet they are/were regarded as unbeatable at start of championship this year. Since 1993 (I think) in the club championship Ballygunner and mt sion have dominated De La Salle won 3 titles and a few other like Passage and Ballyduff upper won one.......yet this past 26 years Waterford have been the most competitive since the 1950’s/60’s.....

No Ballygunnar have a senior club so they can’t represent in Munster even if they win.

The Munster q-final is Ballysaggart v Causeway (Kerry senior champions).

I can’t say I know much about the standard of Kerry hurling.

Will the same apply to Abbeyside who are in the West Junior A final and If they go on to win the junior A title ??

Ballysaggart with the Bennets could do well in Munster. Only a few years ago lost the AI junior final in a replay

I see that Kieran Bennett got Man of the Match in the Western Intermediate final and I think he was very good in the semi-final as well. He is an excellent hurler who did well in his senior appearances in 2017 and yet has hardly been seen since. Pádraig Fanning ignored him while sticking with players who, in my view, are clearly inferior. Hopefully he will get a fair crack of the whip from Liam Cahill and he will have further opportunities with Ballysaggart to further showcase his talents. He has been typecast as a defender but he is showing with Ballysaggart that he knows where the posts are.

If Ballygunner can’t go up to senior nor can they represent Waterford in the Munster intermediate championship, does that not basically mean Ballysaggart will be playing senior next year and will represent Waterford in the club championship? So the county final is a bit of a bonus game for them where it doesn’t really matter the outcome?

Why would they be kept apart in the group stages. Already they're been treated differently than other teams, possibly gaining an advantage.

They have the option to stay down intermidiate also. If they win it twice in a row they automatically have to go up.

If they take the option to have 2 senior teams, they will have to name there panel for the year and they wont be able to take players from the b team to play on the a. similar to thurlas sarsfields this year

How the hell did Dunhill get to the final if they were that far off the pace?

They beat portlaw in the semi by the same margin, the inter championship is very poor in the east

What's his best position? I remember Derek blooding him a full back in early league appearances before using him at wing back when needed. Never really sure where he played for club.

I hope Liam Cahill gets the best out of Shane Bennett. I think he would be great out around the middle of the field and not in full forward line. He can link up with his brother without being stuck in beside him.

Any word on Brick coming back for next season ???

Moran prob will give it another year at most
