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.

refreshing to see Michael Duignan going for Chairman of Offaly County Board. Hopefully it may start a trend going in other counties

Is way past their best still better than the alternative options?

Hard to knw really be nice to have them around for experience etc but will they really be that many inexperienced players in the panel for 2020 ???

A fresh start with for the Cahill era

Maybe a set-up like this (similiar to Cork)

Premier Senior (Ballygunnar, DLS, Mt.Sion, Dungarvan, Lismore, Passage, Abbeyside, Tallow)
Senior A (Roanmore, Clonea, Fourmilewater, Ballyduff, Ballygunnar B, Ballysaggart, Ardmore, Clashmore)
Premier intermediate (8 Teams west and east)
Intermediate (8 Teams west and east)
Junior A (8 Teams west and east)

Etc etc,

Two groups of four....
Outside of senior it would make for some games and great championships, thereby increasing standards

Increase standards by creating 4 new group teams from intermediate and junior clubs. Put our 4 GPO's in charge of each area/group team this creating accountability. Do the same for football. Play group team games midweek.

That would be a good addition, the group teams could play off in their own.group with the top team getting to the quarter final?
The GPOs in charge is a great idea

This was a no brainer about 15 years ago. Our board usually wait until things descend into a complete farce before discussing any type of change so expect it to be raised sometime in the next year or two

You are some man to talk about problems without coming with solutions. In regards Moran , there is definitely not 14 better hurlers than him in the county regardless of whether or not he has lost a step or not.

Stephan Frampton on the committee to pick the new manager and is now a selector. Some buzz, when he finished interviewing Cahill for the job did he ask for an interview to be his new selector??

PTH2009

Stephen Molumphy and Stephen Frampton the selectors officially announced

mountgomery burns

Wonder who Cahill has in mind when he mentioned keeping on part of last year's backroom team

And there lies the problem .if you honestly
Believe that then you have some crazy idea on what makes an intercounty hurler .

What a servant Kevin Moran has been to Waterford. Over a decade as one of our best. Unfortunately last year he was miles off the pace, especially in the tipp and limerick games. Has always been a superb athlete but looks like the legs are going for him.

Good Man Fraa, the only man to be involved in picking a county Manager three times in a row and the only man to allow himself be a selector having picked a County Manager.

Stephen Frampton 3 Peter Queally 0

Dan Shanahan not happy by all accounts.

Not as many hiding places here though as last years lads found out. Can't be all things to all people with the eyes of the county on you.

Only in Waterford.

Hopefully we'll have a new S&C coach. We were second to every ball last year. You could put some of that down to effort but were definitely miles behind in terms of fitness levels. Some of our lads have looked like they've been doing way too much gym work too and yet were yards behind. The balance to me seemed off.

I think the S&C staff should have put a bit more effort in theselves, done the training and put the effort in on behalf of the players.

The team might have cleaned up then.

Really excited about this management team, Molumphy and Frampton are great additions. When Cahill said he was going to get local selectors in, he couldn't have found 2 men with anymore heart and soul for Waterford. Two lads who were warriors on the field and command utmost respect off it.

When you look at what's going on in Clare and Galway at the moment (similar fiasco to us last year), we are much better placed facing into the new season. Were quick to point out how far we are behind other counties when it suits so we should also give credit where its due when things are done well, and we have gone about our business very well here.

Stephen Bennett seemingly going traveling, how true? Who knows. Who cares either way, if he does good luck to him.

For what it’s worth we have an excellent mgmt set up & selectors.

There seems to be a lot of sour grapes and bruised egos around the place too, some ex players seem to think they have a divine right to be involved. Some lads been on more tickets then The Rolling Stones over last few years & it’s the same names and egos.

It’s a funny one with Fra being on panel & also have been part of backroom team, ultimately he is a selector, not the mgr, he will add value, like a slice of lemon in your gin and tonic.... but that’s it. Someone will probably blame Derek for this too, as well as global warming.

I don’t think there is not anything sinister in it. I’m sure Cahill has the final say who is in or out.

Everyone should stop throwing stones now and let the lads get on with the dam thing. We are bottom of the pile and there’s a mountain of work to do.

Next priority is when is Walsh park starting? Paddy joe and pat Flynn said the diggers be rolling in after the limerick game, so I’m assuming it will be after county final Sunday & we will have our new shiny stadium built and ready to rock for 2020 for 4.8m as was sold to us and promised 18 months ago.
