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.

With social distancing attendance might only be 2-3 thousand for one reason anyway.

Not a chance the GAA will run the championships with only crowds of 2-3 thousand or 25% attendance based on social distancing . They cant even tell counties how many people are allowed attend club matches that are starting in a few weeks time.

Yea forgot about social distancing haha. But by October you'd hope for a bit more leniency.

They have said that even at 2 metre croker will only have 50% capacity. Going by that, ain't nothing happening in Walsh park for the championship this year

I don't see why it couldn't be Walsh Park? It was going to be good enough this year for the round robin game and now there's the "Newbridge or Nowhere" precident too

a bit of nostalgia

Remember beating Tipp in the AI semi in 2008 and they played 'the auld triangle' over the PA in respect of Ronnie Drew who died the day before

A special day and moment

Think it might start with a K and end with a load of lads booing in the stands

tbf the truncated structure allows an upset more easily , leagues and groups allow good teams to show consistency ,

i will say again this year presents a great chance for waterford, as it will be straight knockout and its anyones , cork clare waterford and wexford all stand a good chance they wouldnt normally have

I see your logic. However I'd feel that due to the lack of training time together (bar one county who trained through it) and winter conditions it will suit physical teams with ball winners. Sadly that's not where our strength lies.

By whom?

Sure if I knew that I'd be a millionaire. DLS and Lismore I'd say leading shouts, and maybe a dark horse to emerge from the pack. But the longer the winning streak continues, the closer we are to the day they get beat.

Remember, nobody would have called Passage winning in 2013 or Ballyduff in 2007.

Hard to get excited about the senior hurling club championship any more. The standard has gone really poor and obviously it's become a bit too easy for ballygunner every year. Dls probably the only other team capable of winning the thing. Should be no problem with social distancing at most of the games.

Hard to see past Ballygunner unless there caught on the hop

Should they have ditched the QFs and just went with top team in each group into the semi finals. That would mean all group games would be important
