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.

No, only saw it on Twitter

I was at it. WIT were way too good. Calum Lyons the best of the Waterford lads although Ciarán Kirwan scored 2-2 from play too.

What leagues do you keep asking about ?

WATERFORD.

Last year: Runners-up.

Manager: Liam Cahill (First year).

Captain: Pauric Mahony.

Something old: Noel Connors (29) and Maurice Shanahan (29) may have been jettisoned on the grounds of age but Kevin Moran, 33 in March, is in for a 15th season.

Something new: A lot of excitement about Dessie Hutchinson. Waterford need an X factor and the 23-year-old could be a real plus in attack.

Does the League really matter to them?: Absolutely. This group couldn’t be a better rehearsal for what comes in the summer. Earn a knock-out spot and people won’t be so down on the county’s prospects.

Their KPI for the League: Cahill will rightly say performances but three wins would represent a solid six weeks. Westmeath and the two home games will likely be targeted.

What's their manager most likely to say: “We’re changing things in Waterford and with change patience is required.”

Fixtures: Jan 26: v Cork (h); Feb 2: v Westmeath (a); Feb 15: v Limerick (a); Feb 23: v Galway (h); Mar 1: v Tipperary (a).

Key tie and why: Although they are a work in progress, Waterford will be keen to deliver at home after the two Munster SHC losses in Walsh Park last summer. They’ll have plenty of hurling done by the time they play Galway next month.

Prediction: Fifth. A lot of running repairs have to be done to a group that has been decimated either by natural wastage or Cahill’s own culling. An inexperienced team will need time to gel.

What's the story with the proposals regarding Championship/League structures? Weren't the proposals discussed recently?

There was an open forum for people to attend to discuss structures on Monday last. The only proposals which look like being adopted are U19 becoming U20 and a restructuring of the leagues.
I can’t see an awful lot changing at U20, it will still be run off late in the year.
The league structure is a positive step I think. Groups of 6 I believe is what is being looked at with promotions, relegations. There was some talk of revamping the scoring system possibly too, not sure whether that was decided at county board meeting Monday night.
There was no discussion at all on making junior or intermediate all county competitions, the executive simply skipped over them stating they are divisional.
There was some good discussions on different possible senior championship formats, when to play the games, how to structure the championship when it resumes after our county teams have finished etc.
There was also discussions re regrading rules and ways to make this work better for players.

Anyone want to have a stab at naming a team for Sunday?

hard to call

Stephen Bennett and Conor Prunty have played in a lot of games so far with some guys only playing a few. Did Pauric Mahony start a game yet. Would like to see Dessie Hutch start and play well. Theres a lot of expectation on him

DLS2THECORE

Something along these lines would be my guess ( injuries and Fitzgibbon cup permitting )

SOK
Conor Gleeson
Conor Prunty
Shane McNulty
Callum Lyons
Darragh Fives
Kevin Moran
Jake Dillon
Austin Gleeson
Shane Fives
Pauric Mahony
Jack Prendergast
Mikey Kearney
Stephen Bennett
Dessie Hutchinson

Would like to see a full forward line of Curran Bennett and Hutchison

Let's hope Cahill gets the half forward line working

Pauric Mahony is suspended for the game on Sunday.

Was that from getting sent off against Limerick in the championship last year??

Thinking about it Cork is a tricky one to start off it. Bar the Westmeath game there are no easy games in this league group. Win on Sunday and then hammer Westmeath would rightly set us up for the Limerick game

Lads was at Mary i v wit game today I read Gleeson was on for 10 minutes it was v foggy but I didn't notice him at all and by god do I rate him so it wasn't as if I wouldn't know who he was. For me one of the standout players was Callum Lyons don't know much about him but was v impressed by him in 1st half I didn't see the 2nd

Very disappointing to hear Gleeson didn't stand out 10 mins into a meaningless college game !!!

That point in 2017 AI final was phenomenal. Flashes of brilliance but never consistent enough. At 30 I suspect the pace would be on the waine which is his main attribute

Gardner

going by his instagram he was in for a recovery session last night. hopefully nothing too serious and be fit for sunday.
