Waterford GAA Thread - Mod note post #1

Sounds like a load of shite to say to someone. You make them a good enough tackler. At the very least, you'd say to someone you have vision and touch and passing ability and we need you in goals. You're not a good enough tackler is ridiculous.

I seem to remember Casey being absolutely septic against Dublin in a Walsh cup game circa 2022, he was the frees too (think Dublin beat them by 15 points). Pretty sure he got some league games too as a sub. Could be wrong.

To be fair I think we have more pressing concerns in Waterford than worrying about the Wexford goalie options.. ..take this to the Wexford forum!!

'Dead Rubber' game for Waterford, Davey will probably just give some game time to those who haven't featured to date, maybe the Sub-Goalie will get a run etc...........are they not jetting off for warm weather training in a couple of weeks so he will hardly be bothered getting a result?

Anyone know what time the game on Saturday is on..........?

a dead rubber game that is also a must win

At this stage with relegation guaranteed and confidence already shattered how does it matter how much they are defeated by on Saturday……..?

Correct, although financially playing in 1B is going to be blow. With championship so close to league it is nice to get a competitive game or two in before the championship.

It's all on the Cork game, win that are the ball is in our court, loose it and the pressure mounts massively. A decent league and defeat to cork belief would be there to turn things around, the poor league and defeat to cork and the negativity will be off the charts.

If we get out of Munster we'll all be delighted, if we don't we'll look at two years wasted and a dismal lower division to look at next year.

Firstly sorry to the Waterford supporters I'm sure you've little interest in this reply.

Anyway yes Casey did play in that Walsh Cup game, he was poor but we were woeful in general that night, we actually beat Limerick in the league the following week, if anything encapsulated Wexford over the last number of years this is it. His best showing for Wexford prior to this year was a league game versus yourselves in 2019.

The 20's had a challenge win over Wexford the weekend, the article mentions they also played challenge games against Galway, Kilkenny and Offaly (twice). Anyone know how they went in those games?

Lads going ape over the league 😂 has it not dawned on many of ye yet that the Portugal training camp was booked months in advance hence why we don't want to advance in the league.

Have Tipperary not won 3 underage All Irelands since Waterford last won one?

True that.

Though it doesn't look like the 2018-19 Under 20/21 teams are at the same level as the group that backboned the 3 senior All Irelands in the 2010s.

Early days for the recent minor team aswell but they don't look as strong as Limerick, Cork, Clare in the years ahead.

Time will tell of course.

Lads does anyone here know if the wheelchair section in Walsh park is covered or uncovered? I have tickets for Saturday but weather is looking bit rubbish.

Have you not seen the rain that we are after having? I'd imagine that reduces the chance of having a double header and the lack of 4 proper dressing rooms

I have only been to the north stand where they have them with curved dugout covers. Think both sides have them similar but the wheelchair section in the old stand is a bit lower on the sideline I think because of the existing stand structure so your view might be limited by the barrier & ad boards.

Like previously said, I think you have to go through the city end terrace to get to the north stand section with a wheelchair but it's probably a better viewing experience.

The years they may change, but the rumours stay the same.
