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.

(bar one county who trained through it).

I assume that county starts with a W and has a Clare man in charge?

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

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

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

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

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

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.

The national league has been cancelled. Or do you mean the clubs league?

Odd one this. My understanding earlier today was the league knock out stages had essentially been abandoned with limerick declared 1A champions and Clare 1B champions. Tonight though it emerges that after limerick draw Clare in the Munster championship that game will serve as the Munster championship quarter final AND the national league final.

I read somewhere yesterday that it had been decided that if Limerick and Clare met at any stage in the championship the game would double up as the league final. If they didn't meet the league was to be shared.

Convenient that they were drawn to play!

Disappointing. They could have run the Remainder of league off in the few weeks prior to championship, from a Waterford point of view we had been building nice momentum and new style with the new management just prior to the covid lockdown, that quarter final v Kilkenny would have been a great test.

Do the winners of Clare v Limerick have a distinct advantage coming into the semi final a week later?
Waterford have got a good draw...no doubt about it but whomever doesnt make the Munster final from either side is out in my opinion. 2 many quick fire knock out games

Good luck lads. I hope ye win against that hugely formidable outfit who have such a proud history but who have fallen on barren times. Should be a humdinger.

Is there a back door and quarter finals? Or is it one chance and your out like the old days?
